The cool factor about this mascara is that it has a SQUARE wand, a spin-off the old round design. I thought, well about time something besides a round brush in mascaras was implemented! Well now I see why they stuck to round brushes.This mascara was HORRIBLE. It made ugly clumpy-spikes, TOO MUCH product was delivered onto the lashes! Globs of mascara honestly. I got it everywhere on my lids, on the bottom (the brush is very large) and even in my eye. I DO know how to maneuver large brushes, but this is just too awkward to get used to. There are large spaces in between each bristle, double the normality, and this is what globs on so much product. The tube is pretty hefty, and I can feel the tube has three times the amount of product (it seems..) than the average tube of mascara. I tried to love it, but it doesn't hold a curl. I tried wiping off excess product and see if that way worked, but it was impossible to get much off the brush b/c of the space in the rubber bristles.The formula is very thick, and that doesn't help my medium-long straight lashes much. This is the first time a product has disappointed me so much. I say pass on this one- who wants a free tube of this?

This mascara exceeded my expectations! I love it so much! I can't say much about price because my sister gave it to me almost used up, but even with little product, this mascara gave me long, defined, non-clumped lashes that looked very natural and enhanced my eye makeup. Two coats is a little more dramatic and even with a third coat it won't spike into horrendous spider-y lashes! I love how light it is to carry anywhere, its brush is the perfect size- I never get smudges, unlike those huge, orange-tubed ridiculous brushes.... heehee. It does, however, flake a bit at the end of the day. But the formula is light enough that my eyes don't get tired. I recommend this as an everyday mascara. It won't give you plush, false-lash looking eyelashes, but it does a perfect job for everything else. I haven't seen a mascara this good in ages. Go out and purchase this already! :) You know ya want it.

I've had this straightener for years and its still going strong! Better than CHI and cheaper too. Would recommend to anyone it works wonders on curly haired misses. It won't tug, crimp, or disappoint you. It' gives you shiny hair and when you find the perfect temperature, never change it again. Works best if used with biosilk, CHI silk infusion, some kind of product t protect. Even works on African American women. :) -

I love these nail art pens. I bought it in black, hot pink, and the chrome-ish brown. On a bare nail, they come off very easily, but with a base before and topcoat it holds out. A lot of creative original nails have come off from this :) They are hard to maneuver unless you're a nail tech, and they do run. Great for doing just the tips! -

Biosilk silk therapy is great at best. At first, my hair was straightened so easily, the serum, not the flat iron, did the work. And my locks were light, super shiny, silky, smelled nice, and felt pampered with such an expensive item! I loved it so much I would use it every other week after I washed my hair. But the problem is I just recently got a haircut and I haven't damaged it much, yet my hair is dry when it doesn't eat it's biosilk one day. My hair is dull now, not shiny how it was naturally or super shiny how biosilk would make it, but it lost it's natural luster! I was deeply saddened that my hair grew accustomed( I didn't even use it for more than 3 months!)so I quickly stopped the habit and just tried to get back my normal hair. It's been a month and still my hair is dull, but getting better. I use it every now and then, just for the sake of the huge bottles I had bought to try. It is true you grow accustomed to things quickly and maybe avoid using this product too much if your hair is addicted to everything. They do say it depends on the person. But I have to admit- Biosilk makes wonders for super curly afro poodle hair! :) Cheers! -

The Urban Decay Show Pony Shadow Box contains six highly pigmented and shimmery shadows, an almost full size Urban Decay 24/7 glide-on eye pencil in Zero, and a mini UDPP all nicely packaged in clear plastic. The colors from top left to right in order are: Snatch, Mildew, Flash, Painkiller, Smog, and Toasted. The day I went in to Sephora, I browsed around to see what I could maybe purchase, since I hadn't splurged on anything in a while. As I got to the Urban Decay showcase( :D* aah *angels singing) my eye caught this palette and immediately upon seeing the gorgeous pink shadow Snatch, I knew I had to buy it. I tried first to buy Snatch by itself, but not even the Sephora guy could help me find it. So I was deciding between this one palette and the Urban Decay Sustainable shadow box (It was bamboo and "eco-responsible" :) ), so I decided on buying both! I thought I would surely love the other palette more for its many colors, yet I see myself using and loving this one even more. The shadows even without primer are fairly well-lasting, but it can't be compared to how long they last with UDPP personally,( I get a little sweaty from the face). The eye shadows can create really many different looks from natural with some jazz, to dream-princess like and kinda out-there outrageous: it's your choice really. Like if you mix Mildew and the two browns you get a hobo-natural vibe, and if you mix Snatch and Painkiller, you get a sort of fantasy look you can go even further with making random swirls with liquid liners of all sorts and rhinestones. It is really some range of looks. The shadows give a ton of color payoff without having to pack it on, which is always THE big plus. Also, ya gotta LOVE it when your eyes don't feel heavy! As always, the shadows that do have glitter (well, the only one that does is Snatch, hehe) do have some fallout as expected from glitter, but in total I am in love with this palette. I would seriously recommend this to anyone out there wanting to try your hands at your first Urban Decay purchase or just lookin' for some cool new makeup. This is it! -
