Review: YSL Volume Effet Faux Cils Mascara

Hello!!

I hope all who are reading are well. I wanted to come on today to write a review on a new product I received from Influenster to test and review.

Friday I received the YSL Volume Effet Faux Clis Mascara. I own a few different brands of high end mascara, but I've never tried any from YSL. I was super excited to give this one a try, so Sunday as I was relaxing, I decided to apply a quick application. I applied the mascara to my bare lashes and was so surprised at the instant length and volume the mascara gave my lashes!

Here is a comparison of my bare lashes, compared to the lashes with the YSL Volume Effet Faux Clis Mascara:

As I said, my lashes became much longer and had much more volume. I didn't spend much time to try to separate the lashes, but when I actually did my makeup this morning, I was able to get them much more separated and they look amazing!

I couldn't be happier with this mascara and can definitely say that this will be a definite repurchase for me!

Much love,

"I received this product complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes."

What's in my Handbag : Lip Products

Hi Everyone,

When it comes to a handbag, I'm not the type of person to change to a different one daily. It's more likely that I use the same one for a few weeks. I hate moving everything from one handbag to another mostly because I tend to hoard things in it out of convenience.

The first things I decided to pull out and talk about are my lip products. I try to rotate what lipsticks I carry on a regular basis, so I can tell myself that I use everything I have and then buy more. My mood is most often the answer to what colors I'm carrying also.

Here's what I'm carrying this very moment:

To some that may seem like more lip products than needed in a handbag, but I was actually surprised that I didn't have more than that!

I hope everyone likes the post and stay tuned for what else is in my handbag!

Thanks for reading!

Review: Gillette Venus Embrace Sensitive Razor

Hello Everyone!

I wanted to post a review on the Gillette Venus Embrace Sensitive Razor that I received from Influenster. I'm always thrilled to get an email from Influenster telling me that I've qualified for a Voxbox. I mean who doesn't love receiving free products?!

This time around, I've received the razor based on my sensitive skin needs. Razors can often be abrasive and I was extremely excited to try this new one by Gillette.

First, I was extremely impressed that the razors has five blades. I usually steal my fiance's razor because of that feature and was excited to finally have a girl's razor with five blades. The razor did a great job on my legs and the re-growth seemed to be slower than with other razors.

I'm also happy to say that the razor did a great job in maintaining its' sensitive claims. I did not have any issues with the razor and feel like it's a razor I will keep and buy refills for.

I highly recommend this razors for gals with sensitive needs and hope it works well for others, as it has for me!
