Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick was a popular item when I started to obsess with make up. But it never appealed to me because I thought it was a glitter mess and knew nothing about the highlighting. Continue Reading…
After my long time bonzer, Nars Laguna, was smashed into pieces, it was time to look for a new one. I quickly gravitated towards Dior Nude Tan. It has an luxurious silver packaging and comes with an usable kabuki brush. Continue Reading…
After using the Bourjois Liner Effect mascara for a good 3 months, I can say that I adore this mascara. Continue Reading…
After using Urban Decay eyeshadow primer potion for a few years, it was time for me to venture out a bit. I was curious about Nars smudge proof eyeshadow base ever since it came out and it was the perfect time to try it myself.
Nars eyeshadow primer comes in a plastic bottle in the shape of a cylinder while Urban Decay’s comes in a tube. To apply, there’s a dome applicator for the Nars, like a lipgloss applicator. As for UD, by squeezing will push the product out of the tube.
It is obvious which brand has the most hygienic design – in order to use apply Nars primer, I have to put the applicator directly onto my eyelids and then put it back into the bottle in order to get more product out for my second eyelid. These double dips do not appeal to me. Furthermore, when I reach the end of the product, it becomes difficult if not impossible for me to scrape the remaining product of the bottle. These are not problems for UD. I simply need to squeeze the tube for whatever amount I want out of the tube and use my finger to apply on my eyelids and when the tube is running out, I simply use scissors to cut the tube open and I can completely empty the product.
As for the primer itself, Nars primer texture is much more lightweight and white based while UD is more thick and beige. Because of its lightweight characteristic, Nars primer is easier to spread. Other than these differences, I think both brand deliver great results; I can’t tell the difference between these two. They both make eyeshadows long lasting and vibrant.
If I have to choose between these 2, I would pick UD over Nars because of various factors. For about 5$ less (depending which country you are from), UD primer gives 0.07 oz more product than Nars and has a hygienic packaging all while yielding the same results as Nars. So, this isn’t a tough decision, is it?
I’ve heard of Red Cherry lashes back in the years where I was obsessed with beauty youtube videos. The “gurus” would used them to get fluttery lashes. I wanted them…but I didn’t know how!
Guess what! ObsessedCanada.com is selling them now! No shipping fee in Canada and no minimum either! You can see the whole range of eyelashes here!
ObsessedCanada.com let me try 6 pairs! Just to choose 6 pairs within all of choices available was such a difficult task! Difficult but fun 🙂
Here they are!
So far, I’ve only tried 2 pairs as I tend to only wear them on special occasions. For the sake of this review, I tried to wear them on many outings!
For one of the 2 pairs I tried, I wore it twice to see the life span of the lashes. After the first time wearing it and thorough washing, the lashes seemed almost ruined. A few lashes were pulled away while I was removing the glue away. But, even in this condition, I tried to wear it again. Although the lashes were not as voluminous as before, the lashes still gave my eyes an oomph effect. After the second wear, I really had to throw the lashes away.
With my other pair, I was even more careful when I was cleaning the lashes to avoid the incidence from the first pair. And, efforts paid off. The lashes were still in great condition!
Overall, Red cherry lashes are great and inexpensive. They are a bit fragile so have to handle with great care if you want it to last longer. It was easy to wear, could actually be one of the easiest lashes I’ve worn so far, but that could be because I finally know the trick to put eyelashes.
Here are shots I attempted to show how beautiful they were. But my shots just don’t quite justify their beauty! I was wearing Red Cherry #46
