Key

I wanted to have a key for the different type of posts I do, just as a quick reference.

-In's and Out's: What's in and out for this season, month, or the time being. These are my opinions and I'm not an expert.
-Mascara Review Series: My ongoing series of mascara reviews.
-Review/Overview: An in-depth review and/or overview of a product or certain group of products.
-Current Obsession: A product or group of products that I am currently enjoying and want to share. It's usually a quick blurb and pictures.
-Crap Product: I will be posting monthly crap product reviews, however, sometimes these are videos on my channel.
-Rediscovered: A product I have not used in awhile, but recently took out to see if it was worth giving another chance.

--There will be more added as I keep posting!

Milani Distinct Lash Review

  • Price:$6.49(but I paid around $4) Cherry Culture
  • Ease of Application:Very easy, only a few swipes needed
  • Ease of Removal:Average, any remover will work- most likely
  • Brush:Plastic comb-like and large
  • Wear:Has never flaked or ran on me 
  • Lengthening Abilities:AMAZING- completely elongates my lashes
  • Multiplication of Lashes:Average

I have to say, Milani Distinct Lash is one of my all time favorite mascaras. It's super inexpensive(check KMart ladies!) and makes my lashes look super long. I would definitely try this even if you aren't a huge fan of the plastic wands. With the pictures you'll see it does what it claims- lengthens and separates.

Mascara Review-Intro

I'm starting a review series(unless I get lazy LOL) on mascaras. I find it to be MUCH easier to review mascaras on a blog rather then on a video. So anyway, it'll be a specific format and a picture for each review. 
  • Price
  • Ease of Application
  • Ease of Removal
  • Brush
  • Wear
  • Lengthening Abilities
  • Multiplication of Lashes
I'm sure I'll add a small little rant/rave at the end. Hopefully I'll have a picture of my lashes with the mascara on them. 

Also I wanted to state in this post that mascaras are hard to review because no one has the same lashes. What works for me won't necessarily work for you. The best way to test these mascaras is to try them, especially since some of these are $3-4. 

Japan..

So I thought I'd do a quick post on Japan and all of the awful stuff that's going on right now over there.

Well, actually, I am not doing a post ON what's happening, but ways to help. I'm sure you're saturated with  different ways to help and donate, etc. but I feel the need to reach out to those(even though there are not many) who will read this. Here's a link to a Yahoo article on donating.

American Red Cross
Save the Children
Salvation Army


You can choose how much you donate, though it's a $10 minimum. If you can't afford to donate then I hope you'll keep Japan in your thoughts and prayers.
