Cargo Mascara

Hey Dolls ❤❤

Today I am doing a review on my new found love, Cargo Triple 3 Mascara!! I have never bought anything other then drugstore mascara and was completely blown away when I tried this product!!

 

 

 

 This product promises to curl,lengthen and thicken your lashes!! I don't know if it fully curls but it takes my lashes to lengths they have never seen!!

                                                                         Pro's:
                                  
                                            - Extremley lengthens your lashes!!
                                                     -Lasts all day long!! 
                                              -adds a natural curl to my lashes.
                                                 -Great Jet Black coloring!!

                                                                       Con's:
                                -Is not the most thickening mascara
                                                     - The packaging is very boring
                                 - It is a Standard Wand (I prefer smaller curved wands!!)

Overall, I really did have to knit pick to find con's about this product!! This mascara retails for $20.00 US but I bought it in Cargo's Safari Kit which retails for $35 but includes tons of other goodies!! Would I repurchase?? I would if I would be willing to spend more then $10 on mascara!! I would buy another Cargo kit that includes a mascara though!!

Whimsical...Maybe a dupe??

Hello my Darlings ❤❤

I just finished my last exam for summer semester today and now am on vacation for two weeks!! Yay!! I feel like a weight has been lifted off of my shoulders lol!! Anyways, in the begining of spring I was in a little boutique and I came across a Deborah Lippman display!! I have not seen her products in Canada yet so I was very excited to check it out. I immediatley fell in LOVE with glitter in the air. It is a very pale jelly like blue with medium and small cotton candy colored glitters. It looked so gorgeous but I was not about to spend $22 on one nail polish. So sadly I left the store empty handed.

About a week ago I was in the Revlon section of my local Wal-Mart and I noticed a nail polish very similar to Glitter in The air called Whimsical. I will let you guys decide for yourself!!

Whimsical is very shear and I do not even know how many coats you would need to get full coverage because after three I gave up and took it off and used Blue Away by Sally Hansen as a base coat. I have tried lighter blues and a white base as well but so far Blue Away is my fave for under Whimsical. From the Glitter in The Air reviews I have seen it seams to be very shear as well so I am very happy I got the cheaper version because for $22 I would not want to go through the hastle of using base coats and numerous coats!! Either way I love love love this color!! I think it is so cute!!

I Joined Julep Maven!!

Hey Dollies ❤❤
I recently signed up for Julep Maven!! I have been wanting to sign up for Julep Maven for some time now because as we all know I am a nail-a-holic!! I'm sure you all have already heard about the Julep Maven program but I will briefly explain.

 Like most subcriptions you take the personality test and get assigned a profile. I believe there is five profiles and in four of them you would recieve two polishes and then an extra gift (August month is nail polish remover!!) and the fifth profile (it-girl!!) you recieve three nail polishes. You do not have to stay with the profile assigned to you, if you wait until the 20th of the month you can choose a different profile or skip the month all together.

                                                                           ❤❤

Pretty great deal if you ask me (especially since these nail polishes cost $14 each @ Sephora!!) Anyways, your first box only costs 1 penny!! I chose to go with the It girl box because it seemed like the best deal (THREE nail polishes for a penny!!!!)

                          Intro It-Girl Box includes:
                             Charlotte (purple)
                                Sasha (Coral)
                                 Lily (Fushcia)
                           I also recieved two two nail dividers!!

Of course I had to try it out right away!! I tried a cute mani that reminds me of the pink power ranger!! LOL!! Not the look I was going for but I think it is cute!! I used Julep`s Lily and Nicole by OPI`s Miss Independent!!

If any of you are interested in becoming Julep Maven`s or just want to check it out you can go to their website Julep.com

Use Code: PENNY

at the checkout to get your One Penny intro box!!

Disclaimer: I am in no way affiliated with Julep Maven. All items were purchased with my own money. I just love polish!!

China Glaze: Kalahari Kiss

Hey Girlies ❤❤

Hope you are all having a fantastic weekend!! I thought I would share a nail varnish that I got at the begining of July at Sally Beauty Supply in Seattle. It is China Glaze's Kalahari Kiss from the Safari collection. I don't know why but I only have a few China Glaze in my collection (probably because I was obsessed with only OPI for so long!!) but I absolutely am in love with this colour!! It is a beige color with a hint of yellow undertone. It reminds me of men's khaki pants (obviously why it is in the Safari collection lol!!). I think it is so unique and next time I wear it I am going to try and put cheetah spots on my accent nails!!

Do you guys like this colour as much as I do?? What is your favorite China Glaze polish??
