Now to the review:
This is probably one of the best mascaras I have ever tried. I had heard all the fuss about it online and from friends, so I decided to buy it. There's 2 similar kinds, the regular one (pink tube) and the waterproof one (teal tube). I always get waterproof everything lol, but the other reason I had to buy this one was the wand. It has a different shape that I wanted to try. Here are the pros and cons:
Pros:
- It REALLY is waterproof. Once it dries it won't smudge or come off with water.
- It creates volume, as in A LOT of volume. This is one of the reasons why I love it.
- The liquid is rich black and not too heavy but strong enough.
- It starts drying fast enough to keep your eyelashes up and not being brought down by the weight of the liquid.
- It does a decent job at separating your eyelashes.
- The brush shape is actually nice, I think it does a better job than the regular straight brushes.
- The packaging is of very good quality, feels like aluminium, and the cap has this little lock feature that I'm assuming is to prevent the liquid from drying. I find this feature awesome, once you twist the cap to close it you can feel a click and that makes sure it's well closed.
- The design is very cool! :) It's raised and texturized, you can see and feel the letters and water droplets. The teal colour is nice too.
Cons:
- It clumps a little bit, especially if you use 2 or more layers.
- The brush seems to gather too much product at times.
- The tube looks great but it's sort of heavy and well, I already carry too much makeup and other stuff in my purse so I have never taken this mascara with me... it really is kinda heavy :/
General Impressions: If you are looking for a high end Mascara, this is a very good option and it's about the same price as Dior and YSL mascaras (though I feel YSL mascaras need improvement, especially with their cheap plastic wands).

NYX is generally a great brand. I love the trendy colours and the huge variety of shades and products they carry. I honestly LOVE the Butter Lipstick line, especially this shade called "Pops Explosif". Here are the pros and cons:
Pros:
- VERY soft, kinda like velvet.
- Creamy and rich colour.
- Glossy, but not too much.
- The price is great! ($6.00)
- The Pops Explosif shade is beautiful. when you first look at it you don't think it would look good, in fact it looks too dark but once you put it on it's just a beautiful shade that reminds me of vintage pink (see pic for reference)
Cons:
- The packaging is a bit strange, a bit fragile I would say and I'm always scared that the plastic will crack if it falls off.
- The product tends to get smeared on the tube (the opening part where the product comes out).
- This is more of a suggestion, but I kinda wish it had some smell or flavour :)
- It doesn't last that long :/
General Impressions: There's really not many complains about this product :D I love it! and you should try it too! ;)

Now to the review:
I have tried plenty of eye shadows, trust me. However, this one is like nothing I have tried before. Here are the pros and cons:
Pros:
- It is very very smooth and I didn't get any allergies from it (I tend to get allergies from some face products).
- It goes smoothly on your eyelids with minimal residual powder falling off.
- It adheres quite fast and easy to any primer .
- The shimmer is just right, light but noticeable.
- The pigmentation is just right too.
- It really looks and feels like a high end product and the price is not bad at all!!
- It lasts a long time, almost for the whole day, though it also depends on the primer you use.
Cons:
- The packaging looks cheap as if it was a child's toy, though it looks resistant enough, but I bet that's why they can offer it at such a good price so, I think it's fine. The simple design is appealing and I like that too.
General impressions: Personally, anything that won't give me allergies is welcomed lol. However, as an eye shadow this is great. I would say it's a high quality eye shadow for a cheaper price. I recommend it :)

This review is for Trust Fund Beauty Nail Polish in shade "No Filter". You can find this and many other shades at trustfundbeauty.com
I personally have a huge collection of nail polish and I have heard positive things about this brand before so I decided to give it a try. I own 3 different shades so far but "No filter" is my most recent buy. Here are the pros and cons:
Pros:
- Dries very fast (though some Revlon Nail Polishes dry faster)
- The brand has a wide variety of colours you won't find anywhere else, that's something I really like, the original shades.
- Bottle Design is simple and elegant
- The brush is pretty standard but that's the way I prefer it since nowadays there's even wide and flat brushes that just make a mess unless your nails are wide, but since mine aren't I prefer a standard or slimmer brush.
- The product lasts long enough on your nails, but nothing out of the ordinary.
Cons:
- It seems a bit diluted for some colours. For some shades you only need 1 coating, so I wonder if there's a problem with quality control.
- This specific shade "No Filter" is really nice for a natural look or neutral makeup.
- I think they need to do something about the quality of the bottle. In all honesty it looks cheap, I know I said previously it is a nice and simple design but the glass seems cheap as well as the plastic cap. One of my bottles had the cap stuck with some dry nail polish and when I opened it (I didn't even use much force), the glass bottle shattered and I was lucky enough to close my eyes in time otherwise I'm sure some pieces would have gotten in my eyes. It is important for this company to do something about the cheap, easy to break bottles before someone gets hurt.
General Impressions: This is a great buy if you are looking for out of the ordinary shades and something that dries faster. However, I think they are overpriced to be honest. I would probably think it's a good price if they get stronger bottles with quality caps and brushes. Also, it would be nice if the product lasted longer on your nails.
