Review for DodoLashes

Hey Everyone!!!

I am really excited about this review today! Recently I came across a company called DodoLashes on Instagram. When I was checking out their website I noticed they have an affiliate program. So with my blog just growing I decided to give them a shot. They contacted me back and gave me these great lashes to review, and offered me a great discount code for shoppers (at the bottom of this blog). These are the D105:

Starting off I will say that although I love makeup and feel like I got a good handle on things,but, I am still a newbie at using fake lashes. I bought a tool that is a cross between tweezers and eyelash holder and they seem to work very well. I found them at my local dollar store (not a chain just family owned one).

My first time applying the lashes (used Duo clear lash glue) one thing I noticed is that they did not feel cheap like others, the lashes are actually lash like and thin. Very lightweight. I learned to ditch my mascara with them as it could ruin them, and it just isn't necessary. Also the strip on the lashes is bendable which is more fitting to different eyelid types whereas others only stay the same way causing them to not fit my lid well and lift in the inner corners of my eyes.
Here's a couple pictures, damn they look good!!:

 

 I wore them all day and did not find them uncomfortable. When I walked to the store I felt them blowing in the wind! lol. But I think that's something I'll just have to get used to.

Price wise I think it is a great price (these were only $5.00 + shipping). They say they are cruelty free mink lashes, which from what I have read means they are brushed off hairs that are collected for the lashes. They have kits that start at $40 with 8 pairs and free shipping on orders over $30. So not too shabby at all. You should get 10-25 wears out of each pair.

NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream Review

Hey!!!!

  Today I am giving a review on a product that I recently bought after I saw great reviews online. It's the NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream.

 I started with just buying two at www.LondonDrugs.com, they were about the same price ($9.00) as the NYX cosmetics website, but I was offered a better shipping deal, so that is why I took that route instead.

 So, I purchased two colours Copenhagen and Athens:

  The NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream is not a lipstick, or lipgloss, as their website describes it. It feels kind of like a balm but it has way more coverage. Also another benefit is it is not drying like other matte lipsticks, it always feels moisturizing which is hard to explain with a matte. It is durable but it does need reapplying after eating or drinking. It seems to take a bit to dry but once it does it dries to a beautiful matte finish. 

  The coverage was a little bit tricky, I did need a couple of coats with Copenhagen to get the color I wanted, which is a nice burgundy deep reddish colour. With Athens, it was a lot more pink toned than it shows here in the pics. Which isn't really the tone I was going for ( I wanted a more beige nude), but I do like how it looks, it can definitely be used as an everyday colour.

  Overall, I am satisfied with this product, and I will be on the lookout for more colours to add to my collection. The benefits that stand out the most to me is they are reasonably priced, and not drying. Both key factors in a good lip colour.

Thanks again for stopping by and reading my blog!

CND Vinylux Weekly Polish

Hey everyone. This week I will be focusing on a great polish I have recently discovered. It is the CND Vinylux Weekly Polish.

I first received this product free from a website called www.ChickAdvisor.com it's is a review site that gives away offers every so often for review. In total I received 3 different polishes. The first was a deep burgundy red called Decadence along with a great top coat. It has amazing coverage and I only needed two coats. Here's a pic of how I received the package:

A short while after about 3 weeks, I received an email from ChickAdvisor letting me know I had won two more colors from their Spring and Summer collection, this is a pic I posted on my instagram (which you can follow at lb2012420) :

I haven't had a chance to use them yet but the blueish tealy colour is from the Flirtation Spring 2016 collection it is called Aqua-intance. The pinkish with light purple sheen is called Blush Teddy which is from the Flora & Fauna Summer 2016 Collection (retail value $10.50)

here are some pics from CND's website :

According to the website the Blush Teddy is more iridescent than shown here, so you may need a couple of coats. As for the Aqua-intance, the formula seems to be a little thicker using less coats for full coverage. These are both great polishes with a long time wear. When I did test out the Decadence colour that I first received I had a wear of longer than a week with NO CHIPS! So I highly recommend this polish if that is the type of wear you are after.

Overall, I love working with ChickAdvisor, I really enjoy all of the little extras I have received from them aside from just doing reviews. Every month they have great incentives to write reviews such as Gift Cards and ongoing contests.

Well, thanks again for checking this out!!!!
