Initial Reactions to a Few Products!

I ordered a few things from Drugstore.com last week and wanted to give my initial reactions the the stuff:

Herbal Essences Long Term Relationship Leave-In Split End Protector Treatment
I really like this stuff. I like the smell (it's supposed to Raspberry, but I'm not so sure on that haha). And the actual conditioner is PINK! How cute! =)


Herbal Essences Totally Twisted Curl Boosting Mousse
Okay, I have never used mousse before. And I think I know why. It sucks! I used it on Monday and it made my hair stringy. My hair is naturally wavy, and it made my hair like crunchy and just weird. I'm going to try it again today because I have time to blow dry my hair with the mousse it in. I slept with it in my hair on Sunday night (wet hair) and then on Monday morning I put more mousse in because it hadn't done anything! I think that made it crunchy.


CoverGirl LashBlast Fusion Mascara
Wow. Huge disappointment. I haven't used the regular LashBlast in quite a long time, but I know it was much better than this. So far the only LashBlasts I've liked at the original and LashBlast Luxe. LashBlast length was shit and this one isn't much better. Barely any length or volume. Plus the brush is so big that you can't get into your inner corner or outer corner! Oh well. Cute packaging though. I'll still use it obviously, I'm just not impressed with it.

I bought three softlips products- One in Pure Pomegranate, Strawberry, and Raspberry.
The Pomegranate smells like pure crap, I hate it. The other two are okay. They have a really nice feeling on your lips. I wish I'd bought them in winter!!

Okay, that's all I got. I'll post full reviews after I've used the products for awhile!

Buxom Lashliner Review

I bought the Buxom Lashliner on February 19, 2010. I've been using it almost everyday since then (I think I might have missed 5 days max). Today is April 5, 2010, so I figure I can do a proper review on it.
Here is the packaging and how it originally looked:







Here is what it looks like tonight after 7 weeks of using it (to prove I have been using it lol):




I honestly see no difference in my lashes, and I'm sure no one else will either.
Before and after side by side:


Before bigger:


After bigger:




I don't see a difference. I apply it with a lip brush actually haha because I like a thin line.

This is from Sephora's website, the claims of the product:
Buxom Lashliner
What it is:
A lash line enhancing and conditioning treatment.

What it does:
Lash addicts beware: Buxom Lashliner is highly habit-forming. This may look like just a liner, but it's also a thickening and conditioning treatment that instantly takes the appearance of your lashes from hardly any to very many. This mineral-rich, paraben-free, whipped gel formula glides on like a liquid liner and dries to a long-wearing smudge proof eyeliner. The formula is made with natural ingredients, including vitamins A, C, and E; Honeysuckle; Jojoba Oil; Soy Protein; Tourmaline; and Biotin (vitamin B), which support healthy lashes. In one fluid stroke, you can fill in the base of your lashes—making them appear lusciously longer and fuller. This product is ophthalmologist tested and safe for contact lens wearers. The result: Healthy, lust-worthy lashes that have no limits.

What this product is formulated WITHOUT:
- Parabens
- Sulfates
- Synthetic Fragrances
- Synthetic Dyes
- Phthalates


Oh well. It's a good eyeliner, but glitter gets all over your face if you buy it in sequins. It costs 15 dollars, and I won't be repurchasing it.
