Review: Motives by Loren Ridinger Cosmetics Lustrafy High Definition Mascara

Hola chicas! Today I’m reviewing the Motives by Loren Ridinger Cosmetics Lustrafy High Definition mascara in onyx which is a plain black. This retails from MotivesCosmetics.com for $16.95. It’s mascara very comparable in quality and wand shape to Buxom Lash by Bare Essentials. The wand is actually very flexible. Keep reading to know more!



Pro(s):
-Very flexible this makes it easier to coat each lash.
-Doesn’t clump and flake.
-The formula isn’t too thin or too thick.
-It wears for a full 10 hours on me personally (don’t ask, I was in the lab the entire day).



Con(s):
-None found while conducting a test for this product.

Overall review: I really like this mascara. This is one of the special ones I’ve tried in my life. It doesn’t clump at all and is perfect in every way. They also have another shade. I don’t know what it’s called but on the site it looks like a cobalt blue. I bet its god for those girls going to prom. I really like the formula. It’s not goopy or too runny. It pretty fast drying and it’ll take at most only two coats to get volume and length. I highly suggest this for anyone. It a bit on the pricey side for a mascara in my opinion, but I’ve seen more expensive mascaras than this one so it’s not a con. If you’re willing to pay about $17 for high quality mascara then go ahead. I know I would. It’s way better than MAC for only a few dollars more. Thanks to Afsaneh G. for requesting this review and I hope everybody enjoyed!

Rating: 10/10 :)

Is it recommended by Vicky? : Yes, I love this way too much!

Small MAC Haul!

Hey girls! So normally I don’t do these kinds of posts, but this MAC haul got be a bit excited. The awesome UPS dude came an hour ago and dropped off my package. As all of you know, MAC has been releasing too many collections and I can’t manage to spend my money on each one of them. I sat myself down and decided what I should get from all of the collections and this is all I could have thought of. I get a duplicate of everything shown for my kit, but here’s what I have for myself. I finally purchased the Viva Glam Lady Gaga lipstick. This has been the rant and rave of all bloggers from everywhere. I’ve wanted it forever so here’s my haul. I tried it on and it’s a bit too blue toned but I can work with it. It’s the best bubblegum pink color. I also got Culture clash lipglass from MAC. It’s part of the Colour Forecast 1 (pink). I love it but the moment I swatches it and then removed it, tons of glitters were left over. I also got All That Glitters eye shadow which is so pretty in pan form. It’s a permanent, but I didn’t have it before. Finally, I got a free Zoomlash mascara sample. They suck, but every time I decide to get a coupon code for free shipping, I can’t just type in the code without the free sample. Somewhere in my mind, I need the free sample, but I never open or use them. I think they’ll be good gifts at my niece’s pajama party she’s having soon. That’s my haul. I’ll be reviewing the Gaga lipstick soon enough and feel free to request any other reviews. Enjoy!

Review: Maybelline Lash Stiletto

Hi girls, I apologize for not being able to put up any posts. I just had so many clients coming to me. Today I’m reviewing Maybelline Lash Stiletto. This ranges anywhere from $5-$8 as far as I’ve seen. I have it in the shade Brownish Black. Keep reading to know more.

Pros: It volumizes and lengthens my lashes. It makes my lashes look naturally long and thick without the dramatic look.

Cons: It smells weird and the formula seems too watery. It gets on my lids every time I try it so you might want to use the business card trick.

Overall review: I really like it overall, but it smells weird and gets on my lids when I try to put it on. You have to use the business card trick.

Would I purchase it again? : Yes, if I ever finish one!

Review: Maybelline Color Stiletto Accentuating Cream Eyeshadow

Image source: http://www.brigettesboutique.com/

Hi girls, I apologize for not being able to put up any posts. I just had so many clients coming to me. Over the Christmas break, many companies sent me different things, so I will be reviewing them over the weekend which is today and tomorrow. I’m reviewing the Maybelline Color Stiletto Accentuating Cream Eye shadow. This is a lot like a MAC shade stick except much more affordable. The shade I have is in starlet sable which is a dark brown. Keep reading for more information.

Pros: This is very creamy and doesn’t pull on your eyelid like a MAC Shade sticks would. You don’t have to warm it up. You have could also wear it on its own. I especially like it because it’s a great dupe for the MAC Shade sticks that are currently only available in limited edition collections. I don’t know if it’s me, but I felt a cooling effect when I put it on. This would be good for de puffing your eyelids in the morning.

Cons: No cons!

Overall review: I love this product. The stick provided a great base for any smoky brown eye. I used it and it didn’t come off until I used my oil based makeup remover. I also used it as a liner for my neutral looks. The boutique that sent it to me is called Brigette’s Boutique and they have limited edition and also current products on their website by numerous companies at very affordable prices. I believe that this comes in a duo with their Lash Stiletto Mascara for about $7 on their website which is pretty affordable. She sent me some extra stuff to giveaway which will happen for Easter. I really like this boutique and I plan on purchasing more products. I know a few of you wanted me to recommend a good online boutique. I hope you enjoy and purchase the products you wanted.

Would I purchase it again: Yes, definitely. If I didn’t have this sent to me and I bought it on my own, would have bought this again.

Rating: 10/10

Packaging: 10/10 A lot like the MAC Shade stick except more affordable.

Is it VICKY approved? : This is definitely approved by me for the perfect neutral eye as well as a smoky brown look!

Review: L'Oreal Telescopic Explosion Mascara

Hi girls, this will be a review now. I recently found this mascara which is called L’Oreal Telescopic Explosion mascara. Now, it wasn’t available in the U.S. till like the past month. I purchased it from Rite Aid for $9.49. It was pretty reasonable considering that it’s a dupe for the Givenchy mascara also pictured above just to compare. I’ve tested it out for 2 weeks and now I’m here to give a review.

Pros: This mascara separates each lash nicely and makes the lashes appear long and thicker than they are. Gives the falsie effect.

Cons: You have to apply about 2 coats because the first time it kind of clumps and then the second time it just combs through your lashes to get the clumps out. That didn’t really happen on one of my eyes but it did on the other. Very dramatic looking lashes which some people might not like, like me.

Overall review: I would recommend this mascara to anyone who wants false looking, dramatic lashes for less. Especially good for people with thin lashes who want to get mascara inside their inner lashes without getting the mascara on their eyelids. It did go on my eyelid, and I got irritated so it isn’t good to put on eye shadow when using this.

Review: Urban Decay Big Fatty Mascara

So I purchased this mini mascara in an Urban Decay Trifecta that came with the mini 24.7 liner in Bourbon and a mini primer potion. It was $11 and it has lasted me this long since the summer and I love it. Well, there are very less cons about it but I’ll follow my format.

Pros: It lasts very long, doesn’t flake, and doesn’t dry out fast. Also it separates each and every lash and doesn’t clump on ME. It lengthens and brings volume to my lashes. It also has a huge wand.

Cons: Kind of thick, but doesn’t really matter to me.

Overall Review: I really like this mascara. It’s also by far the one I will keep on repurchasing. Plus, it’s pretty cheap when you buy it in the trifecta. Well, I guess all of you should go and buy this immediately.
