Maybelline Illegal Length Mascara!

Hello! Long time no blogging! School has been super busy, and I didn’t know what I should write a review on. However, I recently acquired this mascara and now have something to write about!

First of all, if you have not heard, Maybelline claims a lot when it comes to this mascara. The following are the claims they have on the packaging and website:

Build 4mm of measurable extensions!

• Fiber-fix brush has 6 different contact points with each lash for optimal fiber placement

• Breakthrough formula contains fibers up to 4mm in length

• Sealing formula stretches lashes and seals fibers to lashes

• Washable, also available in waterproof formula

I wanted to post some of the before and after photos with this mascara, but I haven’t had a chance to do it yet. I will as soon as I can! Most importantly, I do think this mascara gives length. I think 4mm is a bit of a stretch though. My main issue with it, is it doesn’t give any volume with the length. For me, that’s important because I don’t have much volume on my own.

The brush is pretty awesome. It does catch every lash. As Maybelline claims, the non-waterproof formula washes off in water, which is nice. Overall, the mascara is really nice. It separates the lashes well, adds decent length (though not 4mm, in my opinion), and washes off easily.

A little tip to try if you need more volume is: use your favourite volumizing mascara first. Build it up. Then use the Maybelline Illegal Length on top. It separates the lashes after using the volumizing mascara and it builds length on top of the other mascara. If you aren’t a mascara person I know this may be too much hassle. I just don’t want to waste my Illegal Length’s since I need more volume too!

Here’s a look I recreated for fun! I saw this picture on tumblr and fell in love, so I had to try it! I used my BH Cosmetics 120 Palette 2nd and 3rd edition to create it.

Highlight Your Face!

Why use a highlighter for your face? It’s a legitimate question which I wondered about for a long time. I saw many reviews and tutorials on YouTube that would incorporate a highlighter into their routine. Sometimes it just made people look shiny. For me, I was against the shine. After using Benefit’s Watt’s Up!, I’m a highlighter fan. This post will talk about the pro’s of this highlighter and how to use a highlighter, regardless of brand.

Loreal Voluminous Million Lashes Review

This review was requested by “fearlessbellacinderella”.

Loreal’s Voluminous line has always claimed to create nice thick and “voluminous” lashes, hence the name. I used to use the original Voluminous a long time ago. I can’t remember much about it, so I won’t make any claims.

I recently bought this mascara in waterproof from Winners as I needed a mascara to swipe on underneath my regular mascara. (Waterproof mascara in a thin coat helps hold curl in your lashes. Check my “Keeping Your Lashes Curled!” post if you’re interested) Even though I did not buy this mascara to be my go to mascara, I tried it alone with two coats to see how voluminous it could really be.

My lashes are pretty long on their own and tend to get clumpy when I use a volumizing mascara. This mascara is really great against clumping. It is very defining and separates the lashes quite well. The issue is, it doesn’t do what it claims to do. I got NO volume from this mascara. Like none, whatsoever. It just defined my lashes and caught all the little ones, but did not add volume in the slightest. So if you’re looking for volume, this mascara is probably not the one for you.

On the plus side, Loreal claims a “no mess” wand with this mascara. When you pull the wand from the tube, you won’t have any excess on the tip. It does this very well. I wish all mascara’s had this feature since it’s nice and clean!

Overall, this mascara is really nice for defining your lashes and getting every little lash but it is not good for volume. Obviously, my opinion my not hold true for everyone, but I really don’t see how this particular brush can create a lot of volume. I hope this is helpful in your hunt for mascara! Thank you “fearlessbellacinderella” for the request!

Best Top Coat in the WORLD!!

This post may not be about a make up item, but nails are sometimes part of the ensemble! Besides, this product is too good not to share! The top coat is “Seche Vite”. I believe it’s pronounced “Sesh Veet”.

Lip Color That Lasts!!

Have you ever tried semi-permanent lip color? There are many different kinds and brands on the market which all have the same claim to fame: Long wearing lip color that will not budge. However, we often find many of these claims have the “BUT-clause”: “It’s great and lasts long, BUT..”. After trying many different brands over the years, I have found the best semi-permanent lip color on the market!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone! I hope you all had a fun and safe time! Thank you for reading my blog! I’ve had a little down time lately, but I’ll come up with some new posts soon! Let me know if you have any requests by submitting them to the “Ask Me Anything” section! Thanks again!
