I'm not gonna lie, I was drawn to the packaging on this one. The concept is cutesy and retro inspired. I was also curious about the two part brush system.

The pros, it's a nice rick black color, the small section of the brush is great for reaching the hard to grab lashes and ease into the corners. It really lifts my lashes kind of like a pushup bra for your eyes. It didn't flake or crumble. The formula layered well with my Marc Jacobs Velvet Noir for added staying power and length. I loved that it didn't get clumpy either. This is a great mascara for creating the relationship between your falsies and natural lashes too. I like this type of brush for that.

The cons, I didn't feel like I got that feathery look I go for. The texture felt a little too wet but that could have been because my Marc mascara was on its last leg and dry as a desert.

Overall, if you are looking for an inexpensive mascara that lifts and curls like a champ, I would check this out! I don't know if I would repurchase since I just wear it with another mascara or falsies but I might use my Extra Bucks for it from time to time.

that's what I can clean brushes!

After seeing this conditioner everywhere online, I received it in my September Ipsy. I was interested to see if it was indeed that good. Here is what I found...

I was able to get about three uses out of my sample and I can say it wasn't that great. Yes it conditioned, made my hair soft and shiny but it was nothing I couldn't get from the Aussie 3 Minute Miracle or something else similar. It did have a creamy consistency and smelled really nice. I don't think it's worth the $26. It is formulated without parabens, silicones, phthalates, and sulphates which is really great but I think there are other options out there.

Maybe my hair wasn't in need of deep conditioning at the time and maybe it would work for someone who's hair is in desperate need of moisture. This is only my opinion and I'm not saying it's completely worthless. If it was less expensive I would repurchase if my hair was super dry but for the price probably not....
