Sephora purchase

I have been on a hunt for a natural highlighter and spotted the Hourglass Ambient Light reviews on The Beauty Lookbook...


I ran out and bought mine at Sephora

My Verdict: Praiseworthy. It is as Sabrina says! I too agree this makes a lovely highlighter. I find it perfect for day, I run this along the cheekbones, down the bridge of the nose and cupids bow. For eyebrow highlight I use MAC Shroom (holy grail status for inner tearduct and eyebrow highlight pour moi.)
For night though, I prefer to amp up the cheekbones with another holy grail, Dior Amber Diamond.

Still the product junkie in me craves the search and I'm still on the hunt for another highlighter that blows these outta the park...

Loving Now...Travel Size Mascara



My Verdict: Pass on Bad Gal, the brush was too large to manouever for my eye shape. After 2 coats the formula didn't hold my curled lashes(curled using Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler). However if you like your lashes separated you'll enjoy this one, it also adds good length.

Praiseworthy on They're Real, love the wand. After 2 coats it holds the curl, lengthens however it does lack on the volume front. 3 or more coats help but I tried layering it over another mascara. Overall I would repurchase for travel because it delivers the best overall look and is easy to remove.

Loving Now...Rapidlash

Top: Before
Bottom: After 4 weeks application every night
Sorry for the shotty photos, Iphone camera sucks close up

My Verdict: Praiseworthy. I received Rapidlash for Christmas(thanks L), and have been using it religiously since. I noticed at week 3 my lashes started to grow thicker. At week 4 you could tell the length changed. I'm at week 12 now and paired with my new fave mascara Rapidlash is my new best friend. I did notice some irritation after the 5th week around the lash base, but it could be from a number of reasons. Regardless after an hour I no longer notice the slight stinging sensation(I have a feeling it's from rubbing the mascara off and applying Rapidlash after).


Side note I have purchased Revitalash previously and while I did love the original formula I was not keen on the reformulated version. For a 3rd of the price and same results I would rather purchase Rapidlash. Wait for Shoppers Drug Mart for a sale, or score it for free using the Optimum points.

PARTY SKIRTS...

It's finally mine!

The hardest choice was the sizing!
Seen here is the XS.
Black top Club Monaco (old)
Shoes Christian Louboutin (old, but still available)

I purchased the SM, came home and decided the XS looked better on and returned for the XS....
I'm still undecided...

Measurements:
XS 26 1/2" waist 17" length
Sm 27 1/4" waist 17 1/4" length

* Readers would you go with the size that feels more comfortable or suffer and go with the size that looks better?


* purchased mine from Rebecca Bree
