If you are on Facebook chances are you have been added to a dozen or more groups in an effort to get you to buy some "magic mascara". MAGIC MASCARA?! Is there really such a thing? I know you are at the very least curious. Which probably lead you to browsing through some of the dramatic result pictures. Depending on what group your in the results either look magical or seriously scary. At a glance you may think your looking at a pretty girl with gorgeous blue eyes that are sprouting tarantula legs! I promise she isn't... she just got carried away. Happens to the best of us.
3d fiber lash mascara is easy to use but like anything else requires a little practice to really get the hang of it... and once you do you will believe in magic mascara too! The mascara retails for $29.00. If you are used to buying drug store brands your jaw probably just dropped. If you shop at Ulta or Sephora you know that these prices are totally comparable. But is it worth it? My honest opinion.... TOTALLY! The length and volume that you get from this mascara will have people guessing if you are wearing false lashes (which is a good thing) if it is applied correctly.
The directions that come with the mascara tell you to start with applying your own mascara first. I know... what?! why would I use my own mascara when I just spent $29.00 on this?! Well for the most dramatic results start with a coat of your usual stuff. For everyday that is a step I would suggest you skip. Your results will still be amazing.
The trick to this mascara is to apply more gel and less green tea fiber. If you fully coat your lashes with "transplanting gel" (the stuff that looks like mascara) from bottom to top applying in a zig zag motion and then immediately with out doing the other eye apply the green tea fibers just to the ends of your lashes you should see a significant change in the length and volume. Don't go over board with the fibers you just want enough that you can see the difference. Before you move to the other eye repeat applying the gel from bottom to top in a zig zag motion making sure you are completely covering all of the fibers. One coat should be more than enough. If you want a super dramatic look you can apply two or more coats... but beware this where you may start to tread tarantula territory. Don't go over board. With all make up LESS IS MORE.
MOODSTRUCK MINERAL PIGMENTS
Tiny jars full of loose brilliantly colored powder. The only thing that I can compare these to are the loose eye pigments from bareminerals. The colors are great and highly pigmented. They can be used wet or dry. They work fabulous as liner and while they are one of my favorites I don't recommend them for everyone. I did... at one time but have learned from various friends that if you are not used to working with loose pigments or make up in general they can be a little difficult. They were also recently marked up quite a bit in price and I'm not sure how I feel about that. They now retail for $12.50 each which isn't outrageous but a little on the pricier side. One thing that I love about companies like Urban Decay and Stila is that their shadows come in palettes with complimentary colors making it sort of a no brainer to figure out what works with what. The Younique pigments are all sold individually so it makes it a little tough to pick the right color combinations if you don't already know what you like.

GLORIOUS FACE AND EYE PRIMER
The name says it all. It does feel Glorious. But at $39.00 I have to say... save your money. While Glorious may work well as a primer for the rest of your face I don't care for it as a base for eye make up... more specifically the mineral pigments. Matte white primer is your best bet. I personally like NYX. It goes on smooth. Makes any eye color look brighter and last longer and it retails for $7.00!
UP LIFT EYE SERUM
I would love to review it but can't. One because mine fell off the bathroom counter and shattered all over the floor. Yes the bottle is glass. But two because I don't have puffy eyes or dark circles. I have seen some awesome results from other girls but can't personally vouch. It sells for $65.00 so I would hope it does what it promises.
MOODSTRUCK PRECISION LINERS
I have these in just about every color and love all of them. There is no downside here. They retail at the right price selling for $15.00 (less if you buy the bundle). Each one is true to color. Goes on smooth. Never smudges. Even stays on the water line. Perfect which is a true black is my personal favorite and the one I wear just about everyday. Prim and Proper are perfect for filling in your brows. Pristine which is white is not just great as an eye liner but is my go to for the doing on ombre lip.
SPLURGE CREAM EYE SHADOW
OMG! AMAZING! It is rich and creamy smooth and silky. Goes on like a dream. It shimmers and glitters. Looks gorgeous all on its own or as an accent over you favorite color. But they hit the nail on the head with the name. It is definitely a "splurge" item. It sells for $26.00 for one tiny jar. Worth it? For a make up junkie like me... yes! But Ill let you be the judge.
Think I left something out... wanna add a review of your own... comment below I love feed back!
Stay tuned for part 2 which will be all about the lips... coming soon :)
Jena I hope you are a Younique Presenter because you rock these products! You're beautiful 💜
ReplyDeleteHey Jena, I think you hit them all about right. The Uplift at $65 I think is just too pricey for what it does. Go to Avon and get some AF-33, it does TONS better around the eyes, results can be seen LOTS faster and being in a plastic tube you will never worry about dropping it on the bathroom floor and shattering it. ;) It IS amazing stuff. Using the Uplift actually "gave" me wrinkles, fine lines and some bags starting under my eyes. :( I just LOVE your pics and seeing what you are up to now. On the Splurge and using it over the Regal and Flirty, wish you would have added a pic with your eyes closed too to show how it looked that way as well. I have also used the white Pristine Pencil in the inner eye and then the Black Perfect and put them on like shadow with the side of the pencil, then taken the splurge over top. Very nice effect. I use one side of the brush with the Pristine side and the rest of the eye that has no pencil on it, and the other side of the brush on the Perfect part of the eye. :)
