Tarte Lights Camera Lashes Mascara


     Hello there beauties I have a new review for you. Its all about Tarte's Lights Camera Lashes mascara. 

  I have been wanting to try this mascara for a while since Marlene from Make-up geek mentioned in her fabulous tutorials. I have no Idea why i never got around to trying it as a matter of fact I had a sample size of it for a while and I just didn't really gave it any priority. Boy was I stupid. This mascara is everything I look for in a mascara and here is why:
This mascara gives you volume just like it says it will and it separates my curled up lashes making them look fuller and just amazing with almost no effort.

Here are some Before pictures:



Now lets see some after picts:


By the way no I didn't use a primer with it i just curl my lashes a bit and that was it, now imagine what it would be like with a primer???? Oh my!!! So lets get to some info of the mascara and where can you get it as well as some key ingredients.

Here are some Information I got straight from the Tartecosmetics.com site

Key Ingredients:
Olive Esters: conditions, treats and protects lashes
Provitamin B5: vitamin B derivative that treats and thickens lashes
Rice Bran Wax: natural wax that helps lengthen lashes

Price: $19.00 USD

Where to buy:
Tartecosmetics.com
Sephora.com
Ulta.com


Did I mention that the formulation of this mascara does not have any of the yucky stuff? and is cruelty free.

I believe this has become my new holy grail mascara and that I will be using it a lot. Is easy to use, it does its job and it cost a reasonable price for high end mascara as well as being good for you and non chemically based. What else can I say I'm in love!!!

Glossy Box August 2012


     Glossy Box is a monthly subscription like many others out there. I particularly choose this service rather than the many other out there because these are luxury items and if I’m paying for samples, I want I want to try high end products, products that I have to be sure I love to pay big bucks for it. That said, yes this box is a little pricier than other boxes but so far completely worth it.

     This box goes for $21.00 USD and it could be purchased from many countries, also one thing I like but I don’t at the same time is that they send you boxes related to your specific country meaning that I wont get a product that I wont be able to buy because they only sell it on the U.K. the reason I don’t like that is because I love trying products from other regions specially from Asia, I hope they do sort of a mix and trade or discover new products month were I could try new goodies.


     As you can see above this month was all about luxury, did they deliver???? Heck yessss!!!!!! I was so surprised when I got my box I could not believe how many nice goodies I had gotten and how satisfied I was with my first of many to come Glossy Box.






TOUCH IN SOL, FEEL LIKE HONEY MOON SKIN BASE: is a moisturizing face primer that firms and revitalizes.  I tried this product yesterday by it self and I have to say I love it so far it left my skin feeling silky and it calmed my redness a little. A win on my book. The full size product retails for $20.00 USD





ILLAMASQUA, NAIL VARNISH: Oh I wanted to like this soooooo bad. My best friend is hooked on Illamasqua products and I have heard so many great things about this line that I was so exited when I saw this. But I didn’t like it at all, the color was streaky and the yellow didn’t do it for me. I put it on my toes and two days after application my husband had the courage to tell me that my toes looked like old man yellow nails. Soooo yes I will be probably be giving this away since I have no use for it. The full size product retails for $14.00 USD




BIOLAGE, EXQUISITE OIL REPLENISHING TREATMENT: This is a hair oil like many others our there, the difference is that this one is infused with Moringa Oil which I’m not sure if it’s a heat protectant like the Argan Oil and when reading the little information card that came with it nothing of that sort was mentioned. I used it last night on my unruly curly hair and it was fine I guess it just didn’t sweep me off my feet. The full size product retails for $22.00 USD




OLE HENRIKSEN, TRUTH SERUM: This was one of the products that got me exited the most. I absolutely adore this serum, I cant tell you how much I love this stuff is all natural and it smells like how I imagine heaven will smell like plus I’m running out of the one I have and I needed one (extremely happy voice). The full size product retails for $48.00 USD





ELLIS FAAS, ELLIS LIPS: When I saw this product I did not know what to make of it, it was so different, I was showing my Husband how it looked like a bullet when I looked at my information card and I realized that it cost $35.00 USD I could not believe they had send me something like that, I mean I only paid $21.00 USD for my box…. I like the texture of the product but unfortunately the color they send me is a bit brown for my pale complection but nothing that it cant be solved with a pale lip gloss.





So how much is this box worth the price? Lets do some math and find out:
