Products I've used up & Mini Review

Hi

I've been very busy during the summer which is not technically over yet! however now that kids are back to school I have more time in my hand to focus more on my blog!
I have used up so many products ,so I will divide them  in to  two posts ,the other one will be only skin care products I've used up and mini reviews which will be hopefully up very soon.Let's get started!

Makeup

I've used up so many mascaras and the reason is that I had more than one open mascara and I don't normally do that because based on Ophthalmologist advice you should not continue using a mascara more than 4 months.It attracts a lot of bacterias which is very dangerous for your eyes and can cause irritation and infection! So I toss them right after 4 months no matter they are finished or not! So I usually open one mascara at a time.


ALMAY one coat get up & grow


ALMAY one coat get up & grow
I have to say I wasn't a big fan of this at the beginning but after using it for a while it became my absolute favorite mascara! The formula is dry which I like ,It has a good size boar bristle wand which gives lots of volume and length to your eye lashes .It is very inexpensive.I already have a backup of it.


ALMAY one coat triple effect

This is another favorite mascara from Almay. I love the wand of this mascara so much. It has to sides one for lengthening and the other to add volume.It is thin enough for the bottom lashes too.I will definitely repurchase it.


benefit BAD gal lash 



I know so many people love this mascara but unfortunately I am not one of them.It came in a package with hoola bronzer for 36.00 CAD . I am a big fan of drugstore mascaras and normally don't pay a big buck for mascara because I believe it is unnecessary investment .I can find great mascaras at the drugstore with the fraction of the cost! Specially that I will toss it after 4 months! this mascara has dry formula with a huge boar bristle wand  but it did not make my lashes any fuller or longer than my almay getup and grow so I would not pay 26.00 CAD for it!

benefit they're real!

 




I received this mascara in sephora's birthday gift pack.I don't like this mascara at all.I stopped using it after a week! the formula is not as dry as I like it to be and it has a rubber wand which is very pointy and sharp bristles! I poked my eye a few times with it.Beside the wand I didn't see a huge change in the length or volume of my lashes either! I will not purchase the full size for sure!

Clinique bottom lash mascara


Clinique bottom lash mascara

 I enjoyed applying it while I had it! The brush is tiny and great for bottom lashes.The formula is light weight which is again fantastic for the purpose. Overall it is good product ,however I will not repurchase it only because I am too lazy to apply 2 different mascaras at a time.Most of the time I just garbed it because I had it and I felt guilty not using it.I am more comfortable to apply the same mascara on my top and bottom lashes both! :) Price 12.00 CAD

 Maybelline color tattoo in bad to the bronze


Maybelline color tattoo in bad to the bronze



I absolutely love maybelline color tattoos specially this color.As you can see I only have a bit left around the bottom of the jar which is a little dry now and hard to apply. I have so many different shades of them but this one is my go to shade. Some times when I am in a rush this is the only eyeshadow I apply .It is beautiful, creamy, blends easily and stays all day. If you haven't tried it yet I strongly recommend it 
  Even though I have so many eye shadows which I have to go through still I repurchased this one before I finished it!

Mybelline dream Lumi touch highlighting concealer in Radiant


Mybelline dream Lumi touch highlighting concealer in Radiant


I apply it mostly for highlighting (above my eyebrows,on the bridge of my nose and on my cupids bow)
but some times I apply it as my under eye concealer as well. I will always repurchase it.It brighten the places that needs a little highlighting nicely! the color is beautiful and blends easily.


Rimmel lip liner in east end snob


Rimmel lip liner in east end snob


I have several shades of these lip liners. They are between 5.00 to 7.00 CAD depends on the store .Very inexpensive,very creamy,great shades and they are retractable which is great, no need to sharpen them! This shade is one of my very favorites. I always repurchase it.


MAC creamsheen glass in just superb


MAC craemsheen glass in just superb


I took out every bit of this lip gloss as much as I could! This says how much I love it.The formula of the creamsheen lip glosses is great ,they are creamy not at all sticky. The stay like most lip glosses not for long .The shades are beautiful. I have a few other shades of them .I will absolutely repurchase this one again.I mostly pair it with mac lipstick in cream cup or wet and wild matte lipstick in think pink.


Mac clear lip glass





Even though  I am a mac lover I absolutely hate this lip gloss!! It is so sticky that every time I applied it I had all of my hair sticking on my lips specially on windy days!! You know what I mean.
It does make the lipstick shiny and lasts a decent amount of time but I didn't reach for it too much only because of stickiness of this gloss.It is not completely done but I can't stand it anymore so I am tossing it! If you are some one who doesn't like sticky lip glosses stay away from it!



Hair


TRESemme Thermal creations 

 




This is a heat protecting spray which I am sure most of you know and probably used.It is OK in my opinion! ( for sure not the best). I think it makes my hair feel a little heavy .You know when you feel you have too much products on your hair
I am not a big fan of it and I will not repurchase it.


And last but not least;

Loreal Elnet Satin hair spray




This has been my one and only favorite hair spray since I was in high school! I love it .It is a great hair spray. Very light weight doesn't make your hair feel sticky or heavy.It holds the style very good for a long time.I always repurchase it before I run out!
