Oily lids? Here's How to Get Rid of Them

Hello readers! Today I'm going to address the problem of oily lids and creasing eyeshadow. Yucky stuff, I know. I am a victim of oily lids, and I've always despised how my eyeshadow looked creased and how my eyeliner, no matter what brand, spread into raccoon eyes. Raccoon eyes= a no-no. So, I have found a solution for all of those that suffer from oilylid-itis.

Maybelline Colossal Volum' Express Mascara Review


So, my first makeup review of the blog, the world, here we go then. This mascara is an interesting one.

Pros:
  •  It volumizes a lottttt
  • It makes your lashes look fuller because it has such a big wand
  • It has a big wand. <3
  • It gives the illusion of bigger lashes, not long ones.
Cons:

  • If you don't apply it right, it can make your eyelashes look spidery and clumpy.
  • I got it, and it kind of smelled. It's most likely the smell of the collagen in it, but I tossed it after 2 weeks.
  • If you get the non waterproof kind, it's REALLY non waterproof. It will run like heck.
  • I've heard that it flakes on some people. It didn't happen to me, but it might to you. O_O
The formula is a wee bit runny, so apply a lot if you end up buying this product. For me, the cons outweighed the pros. A lot of people like this, but it's not for me. It's not the worse I've come by, but it's an iffy one. It definitely volumizes a lot. Yes indeed, that it does. It easily can create a dramatic look without false lashes, and with, but I prefer Maybelline Falsies over this one. But that is a story for another time folks. It's time to go beddybye. Have a good one, internet readers.

Nail Design of the Month: March

Spring is here, readers, and tribal is back in! Let me hear a woot woot from the boho girls out there. WOOT WOOT! Well, I was searching the Internet, and I found that the trend had evolved onto nails. Cool, right?

So, I thought I'd try it out myself. This is about a week after I did my nails, sorry about the horrible quality of the picture guys. I also did it with a toothpick, such crudeness on my part. But hey, it works. Maybe if I have time, I'll post a tutorial of my next month's design. I'll see what I choose to do. I'm open for suggestions, so feel free to comment!
