Younique Fiber Lashes Review

Hello Gorgeous Divas! How are you today? Fabulous as usual I hope. Today is all about eyelashes! I know what your thinking a beauty post? Yes, its been awhile since I have posted a beauty related post but I'll try and be better about posting them more often. Well anyways if you are at all curious about the beauty world you have probably heard of this new product called Younique Moodstruck 3D Fiber Lash set. And if you haven't its this new product that promises to dramatically enhance the look of your lashes. It promises volume and grandeur.  And well I wanted to see what the hype was all about. So here are my thoughts.

                                           First lets start with the packaging of the product.

I love the packaging. It has this chic sophisticated design, and the texture on the case gives it this extra edge. I think it also very convenient that it comes with its own case so then you don't have to worry about losing or forgetting one of the tubes somewhere. 



The larger tube is the transplanting gel.
The smaller is the actual fibers.

First step in application is applying a thin coating of your favorite mascara. For me right now that is Cinique High Impact Mascara. After you have waited for your mascara to dry apply a coat of the transplanting gel, then before the gel dries apply the fibers.The last step is to apply a 2nd coat of the transplanting gel to set the fibers on to the lashes. It works best if you do one eye at a time.  I have read of some people who completely skip putting on mascara and just use the fiber lashes and like that better. I  haven't tried it that way since I personally like the fuller darker look best, but if you are someone who doesn't like that dramatic of a look maybe you could try it that way.  




Before Fiber Lashes
 I am wearing a thin coating of Clinique Mascara.

So what is my verdict? This product is defiantly easy to use. It may take a few tries to get the hang of it, but it doesn't take extensive knowledge of makeup to apply correctly. The product is also very build able. You can achieve the subtly volume or the glamorous eyelash look very easily. It all depends on how much you want to apply. That being said there are two things I did not like about the product. First the smell of the transplanting gel is horrendous. I understand eyelash glue doesn't smell that good in the first place, but I feel like they could do something to not make the smell so strong. Second thing is the spider effect.(If you don't understand what the spider effect, its just when well the eyelashes look a bit clumpy and like spider legs.)When it comes to products like these there is a very fine line between smooth and full or sticky and spidery looking.  Now this doesn't happen every time you apply the fibers, but if you don't apply it smoothly it can teeter on this line. 

It's a pretty decent product overall. And it defiantly delivers on its promise of giving you build able volume and ease of application. I will continue using my Fiber 3D Lash set since I like that burst of volume it gives my eye look. And if you have used this set comment below what you thought.

Ipsy Bag

Hello Divas! How are you today? I am feeling pretty swazzy today. I thought for this blog post I would share what I got in this month's Ipsy bag. If you have never heard of Ipsy let me enlighten you in the world of glam bags. For only $10 month or $110 a year you can sign up to have Ipsy send you a glam bag containing 4-5 beauty products. The products in the bag are normally valued 40-60 dollars. Its a great way to try out new products and get variety in your collection. Its wonderful! I love it. 

This month's bag was themed Street Style.


This the the Crown C476 Crease/Shadow brush. The fibers of the brush are very soft. The price of this brush is $17.50

This is the Cailyn Art Touch Tinted Lip Gloss. The shade is Love Affair. In the picture it looks pinky, but I promise you its red. I couldn't get the lighting right. The price of the lipgloss $19. 

This is the Pacifica eyeliner in Gun Metal. I haven't used it yet but I've been looking for a silver/charcoal color eye liner. The price of the eyeliner is 10.99.


 
This is the Mitchell and Peach Luxury hand Cream.It has a strong herbal scent to it. I have only used it once so far, but it feels very moisturizing. The price of this cream (full size) is 17 pounds 
(which is 27 dollars I think..)


This is Nourish Organic Moisturizing Cream Facial Cleanser with Cucumber and Watercress. It says that it is fragrance free. So for those of you that can't handle or don't like fragrances this could work for you.  The price of this is $ 13.99.

    So my Ladies if you are considering signing up for Ipsy hopefully this blog helped you decide. I haven't had a chance to use everything yet since I just received it. I plan on getting back to you on the reviews on everything. But till next time my Lovelies.. Queen Diva out.
                                                  Stay Sassy,

Shopping

Hello Beautiful Divas! Today is a gorgeous, sunny day! You know what that means... its a perfect day to go shopping! I have to admit its been so long since I've gone shopping and I miss it. I haven't been clothes shopping since Florida... that was a whole month ago!!!! A Month People! I am going through withdrawal. There is just something so exciting and exhilarating going into a store and searching through all the clothes. You think of all the places you could wear the new outfit. That dress and those heels would be perfect for your date. Or maybe that sun hat would be perfect for a casual sunny day. Or maybe that outfit that makes you feel like you could conquer the world. Oh the places your new outfits can take you!

So I finally purchased my own laptop this week! It so beautiful! I got an Apple Macbook Pro with retina display. Its so thin and light. I love its portability. I am sad though that it doesn't have a cd drive  but I guess they don't really make them with cd drives anymore. But the retina display makes everything look so pretty and crisp. I love it. Especially when I am on pinterest. Ahh I love technology.

Sadly that is all the excitement of my week. I've been busy working all week so I haven't had time to research any new beauty things, but tonight I hopefully will start working on project for you guys so stay tuned.

                                          Stay Beautiful,
                                                       Cherry XOXO

Beautiful Face


Hello little Divas! Today is a gorgeous! A very Swazzy day if you ask me! And since it is so beautiful out I thought it would be the perfect time to introduce you to my gorgeous best friend Charity whom I've known since I was 3 years old. You might be thinking oh no not another crazy shoe obsessed over dramatic diva, but you'd be wrong (you probably weren't thinking that I just like to assume my audience is as judgy as I am.)She is fun, kind, sweet, semi patient, and quiet.. and as you can probably tell I have the gift of gab, a very generous gift of gab. She is the yin to my yang, and we fit as friends perfectly. We are actually are more like twins who were separated at birth... even though I am 4 months older than her...  so that would make our theory impossible...but who cares about logic anyway!

A few days ago Charity and I had a mini beauty day. I did her makeup and hair then afterwards we had a little spa treatment! ahh relaxation.  She is already GORGEOUS so it didn't take much work to do her makeup. We decided for Charity to go semi dramatic on the eyes with dark silver, black, and glitter charcoal colored eye shadows. We also gave her winged eye liner and mascara. For her face we used a little foundation because Charity is one of those blessed people who has almost perfect skin. We also went with a little blush and bronzer for conturing. Add a little color to her very fair complexion.


These products were used to create the eye look. The Brushes are from Eco Tool, Maybelline Mascara, elf eye shadow, and revlon eyelash curler. 




                                                 As you can see Charity has very fair skin. 
We added a lift color but not too much.
These products below are what I used on her face.

                                                         
We went simple on the lips we used Revlon Nude and a sheer lipgloss that I received as a gift. I'm not sure on the brand. 
                      Future model? I think so.
       For Charity's hair we gave her a teased messy look.  We used Caviar Anti Aging Working Hairspray. 
Well that is today's beauty look.  Don't forget to subscribe or follow for more!   

Stay Swazzy,
