Mia Adora 3D Fiber Mascara Review

Fiber Mascara has been all the rage lately.  A day won't pass on my facebook or instagram feeds  without someone raving about the amazing results from fiber mascara. I wanted to try this craze to see how long and luscious my lashes would look.

I was provided the Mia Adora 3D Fiber Mascara at a discounted price for reviewing purposes.

Packaging is something that sways me. I love cute packaging! This came in a cute black and hot pink box with velvet inside.

This is a 3 step process, for me I  decided to make it a 4 step process.

I first coated my top and bottom lashes with Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara

Then put on the first coat of the fiber gel mascara. This step is getting your lashes prepped for the fibres.

The next step is to apply the fibres. You must be very careful not to get the fibres in your eyes. If you do major Ouchy!

The final step is to apply the gel to keep the fibers in place.

Here is a step by step video by yours truly!

To be honest, I did not notice a huge difference in my lashes.  In fact when I asked my mom which lash you thought I had the fiber mascara on she selected the lash I only had  Better Than Sex on. I prefer a few swipes of mascara instead of this 4 step process.  My lashes are thicker, they did not get that much longer. Something I did not like was how my undereye was full of black residue after a few hours passed. I did not have to use make-up remover to remove this, so that was nice.


How do you like fiber mascara? Please let me know.

October Ipsy Bag

Recently I have been toying with the idea of cancelling my Ipsy subscription. It's always exciting when I get the email my glam room has been posted, but generally it ends in disappointment. I previously addressed this in my last youtube video. Nevertheless, I forgot to cancel and ended up with another subscription bag for the month of October. I wasn't actually disappointed with this month's goodies.


This month my bag consisted of

 Starlooks Lipgloss: I really like Starlooks' products so I was happy to get this. This is the perfect pink for a neutral pink lip. I previously received the Starlooks lip liner so this was the perfect match. The lip gloss has a nice shine and lasts for awhile. I like the gloss, but would I order it online? Probably not.

Skyn Iceland Makeup Wipes: These wipes were full of product which was nice, sometimes I find that make-up wipes for some reason, don't have any product on them. I'm very happy that these make-up wipes did not break out my face.  They were a filler product for me and I would never look into buying them.

Jesse's Girl Mineralized Baked Eye Shadow: At first, I was a bit apprehensive about this eye shadow. It looked pretty enough, but when would I ever wear green eye shadow.I blended this with an existing eye shadow I had and it looked so pretty. It's not overly pigmented but it was the perfect amount of color for work. I actually would look into buying more of these baked eyeshadows. They are $3.99, so they are a great deal and will last a long time.

Figs and Rouge Hand Cream-Mango Mandrin: This was my first time trying this UK brand, and I was not disappointed. This hand cream will be great for the winter, I get extremely dry skin, so this is perfect to throw in my purse. This has a tint of smell but is nothing overpowering or anything I could in trouble using at work which is a big thumbs up. This hand cream does not leave a greasy feeling on your hands too. I would maybe look at buying this product when it is used up.

ECRU New York BB Cream for Hair:  When I first saw BB my initial thoughts were "yay a new BB cream to try out". Just as I was about to spread the cream on my face I realized that it was for my hair.  I didn't even know that BB Cream existed for hair, but I guess it is one of those marketing ploys. I do like this product so fair, I can't really explain if it has had any benefits for my hair due to the amount of time i've been using it. I have to admit that I will never buy this product again, because i'm not really sure what it does.

Overall, this bag had 2 items I would buy for sure and the rest were things I would use. I will continue subscribing, because I love seeing that pink metallic envelope.

May Glossybox Review

This month's Glossybox was a surprise as I arrived home to find it delivered without any shipping notifications. Once again I received the box in the latter end of the month. This month I was pleased with the Glossybox when I opened it to find the following items...

• Curel Foot Cream- $3.99/100ml I tried this cream before I went to bed one night. The next morning my feet felt so much softer, smoother and no signs of any cracked heels. With sandal arriving this was the perfect item to try. I think I would buy this product.
• Simple Eye Make-Up Remover-$9.99/56 ml After a late night out I wanted to get to bed so I quickly used this eye make-up remover and it did the trick.
• Simple Facial Wash Gel-$9.99/ 50 ml This face gel leaves my face feeling hydrated and refreshed after using.
• Boxx Cosmetics Cream Correcter- $24/4 grams I haven't really tried this product yet but on a small spot on my face and it seemed to cover it up.
• Sebastian Professional Volupt Shampoo-$15.78/250ml I tried this shampoo I don't really know if it is suited for my hair type.

Overall, I was happy with my  Glossybox for June. Lot's of products I could use from day to day. I can't wait to get my June box.

April 2012 Glossy Box Canada Review

After waiting patiently through almost the whole month of April I finally received my Glossy Box for the month of April. At first I was quite  disgruntled that I had to wait so long once again to receive my box but when I opened my box today that feeling quickly went away. Once again, Glossy Box did not fail to deliver. This month's box was packed with lots of goodies.

The goodies I received in my box for April were...

•  Aveeno Positively Radiant Daily Moisturizer- A full size product regularly priced at $22.99
• Elizabeth Grant Skin Care Shower Gel in Exotic Apricot- A full size product regularly priced at $20.00
• Wella Brilliance Conditioner- A Sample at an estimated price of  $1.67

So in total April's box is $60 in value for $15! What a deal!

I have already tried the Aveeno Moisturizer and Mascara and both are so far so good! The only complaint I had with my box was That my BB cream sample was for light to medium skin and I am medium to dark.

My Beauty Essentials

Along with fashion one of my another favourite things is beauty products. I am always interested in trying new products to see how they look. When I go to Sephora or Ulta I always do serious damage. I decided to compile some of my favourite beauty products for you all.

Miss Cherie Dior: I love this perfume. I am always wearing it. The smell is wonderful and the ads definitely were a factor in my decision to buy this perfume. The ads were so girly and whimsical. The beautiful Natalie Portman is currently the face of their campaign. The perfume has hints of Green Tangerine, Violette, Pink Jasmine, Patchouli, Crystalline Musk, Strawberry Leaves, Caramelized Popcorn, Strawberry Sorbet. I would definitely recommend this perfume!
Sephora-1.7 oz, $77

Etre Facial Peel: This is one of my favourite products for my face. I was quite leery when I bought it as I was conned in by one of those men who grab your hand and tell you that you need to try their product from the Dead Sea of Israel in the mall. $4o later I ended up with this product. I have no complaints. It has done wonders for my face. I used to suffer from severe acne break outs and oily skin but this rarely happens anymore due to this product. It is a facial peel which takes off the first layer of your skin. It is much safer than chemical peels which I had been contemplating about getting. It leaves your face feeling fresh and smooth.
Stream Beauty-Peel, $12.99

Nyx Jumbo Eye Pencil: This is a great budget find. I love the Nyx jumbo eye pencils. They are great to use as eye-liner, eye shadow and even brow hi-lights. The color shown here and the one I use the most is Black Bean. The jumbo eye pencils come in many other colors so I would definitely recommend trying them out.
Nyx Cosmetics- Black Bean, $4.99

Black-Up! Black-Up is a cosmetics company that specializes in make up for Black women. This is is refreshing to find shades that are perfect for my skin tone. This concealer is one of my favourites because it blends in perfect to hide imperfections and dark circles. I would definitely recommend any of my readers with dark skin to check out this cosmetics company it is full of great products! My only problem is I bought this in Sephora in Paris and the North American Sephora's do not sell it :(
Black-Up- 14.50€

MAKE UP FOREVER HD Foundation: This is my favourite foundation ever! I would recommend this to everyone! It is full coverage and looks gorgeous in photos. It leaves you feeling fabulous. Many MUA's use this on their clients. Joyce Bonelli uses this on Kim Kardashian. The foundation comes in many different shades to meet every skin tone! I love this product and hope it never is discontinued!
Sephora, $40

Tarte Cheek Stain: I am a huge fan of cream blush. I don't like how crumbly power blush goes. Tarte is one of my favourite brands for cream blush. They have lot's of different colored blushes to match every skin tone and occasion. Tarte is a very eco-friendly make-up line which I trust to put on my face. The tarte mini cheek stain is not available anymore, however it is available in the full size! This is such a beautiful and natural color do not hesitate to buy this!
Tarte, $30

Hard Candy Glamoflauge Heavy Duty Concealer: Hard Candy is a line that used to be sold in Sephora. Now it is sold in walmart! Have no fear the quality has not been tampered with. It is still great! This concealer is one of their new products and I love it. It is a great dupe for Kat Von D's tattoo concealer. This concealer works great for covering tattoos, under eye circles, or anything else you feel you need covered. I was very pleased with this products especially for the price of it!
Walmart- Concealer, $6.00

Hard Candy Hide and Glow Duo Cheek Tint: This is another cream blush I love. Hard Candy has done it again with their dual cheek tint. It comes with two shades which can be worn separately or together providing lots of variety. The blush is very long lasting, it always lasts me a whole day. The tint I choose was pillow talk.
Walmart- Hot Date, $6.00


Please let me know if you would like any of these products swatched or more information! I would be happy to help

What are your beauty essentials?
