Max Factor Lash Extension Review

I've been using this mascara for a few months now and I figured since I started blogging I could write a review about it :3. It's a waterproof mascara and the colour is just black.

Apparently it should make your lashes longer. Since I don't have pictures and can't take clear pictures I will just tell you in words how it worked/didn't work for me. 

I'd say, it isn't a super product for me, my lashes look almost the same (only a bit longer than before I applied mascara). This could be just me and I don't necessarily want to be really negative about this one (because it does do something :)). I just think there are better mascaras out there that will make my lashes longer. But maybe it's just because I have small lashes >.< (I don't know :/) or is it like you have to apply many many layers before you see more? I am quite afraid to get big clumpy lashes and me doesn't like those. 

Other remarks, though not from me, but from my sister. She said that everytime she took off the mascara (is this the correct way to say it =-= I don't know :')) she lost a lot of lashes (like they fell out or so :') is that correct English?). I told her that it doesn't necessarily have to do with this mascara but it could also be because it's waterproof. But maybe it is the mascara :') Lol if you want to be ultra sure to not lose lashes, don't buy this.

I almost forgot to mention that during the day, I sometimes notice, there are small black dots (ultra-mini-clumps?) below my eyes, from the mascara, so it kind of "chips" during the day and I find those small black dots. Me doesn't like that either >.< and I'm 100% sure it's from the mascara (hehe,,, I know at least that much)

Quick summary:

Lash extension as they promise: Tiny bit, not like: "whoa,, are these my lashes! They're so long!" no, just a bit longer

Black: Well, my lashes are already black >.<

You have to apply quite a lot of layers if you want something to be really visible, like thicker lashes or so (watch out that they don't become thick clumpy ones >.<) and during the day, after a while "pieces" of mascara chip off.

I don't think I would buy this a second time, because I think you can get better mascaras for maybe the same price or less for something that does the same job as this one. 

Hope this review was useful in any way... >.< Hopefully with the next mascara review, I know how to take good pictures of my lashes! ;)

Cute hat and other blabber

So... I actually wanted to make a post about Max Factor Las Extension mascara. But then dad's camera run out of battery and I couldn't make any pictures of the swatches. >.< had to take so many photos, and neither of them worked out. It's really hard to work with a camera and make good close-up photos of you eyes, especially if you want to focus on you eyelashes. But other than that. Look at this:

Isn't the hat cute~ the strawberries. If it was without the strawberries it would just be normal. There's also a brown, pink and black version of this hat. But as far as I've seen, they only have this white one and a pink one at YesStyle. 

I'm a fan of things with print. I have a lot of t-shirts with print, which I always wear underneath a vest or cardigan, makes it just a bit nicer instead of just a plain white or purple top or so. 

Moving on again... with a question. Do you guys like winter? Hehe, yeah, again... my complaints about WINTER. OMG, if it's just cold, it's survivable. But if it's "cycling on ice" it's annoying, depressing and demotivating. Who wants to go to school with the idea that before you reach school you have to try and cycle without falling and crashing, whatever. It's so tiring, and usually I just start walking, just to be sure I won't fall, but it's not like walking is that safe either, I should have ice skates, would make my life a lot easier in winter. >.<. But luckily, the weather forecaster says that it'll be +9 C in the weekend. =D Yay, let's melt away the ice. 

I'm sorry for a boring post again, I really want to try some things, review things, but since the camera kinda died on me, I can't yet and tomorrow I won't have time to take pictures >.< (and mobile phone pictures are not acceptable for me,,, since you can hardly see my lashes :'))

I shall see what my cupboard contains and all, and if there is stuff that I can review >.< but I don't expect much. 

Maybe reviewing a lipgloss would be a lot easier, my lips are more visible than my lashes ... 

xoxo stay warm and I'm sorry if this is a boring post, again...

Max Factor Kohl Pencil

I bought this pencil quite a while ago, but since I have a blog now I might as well write a review about it. My first one ^^.

It's not a super hard pencil, but it's not super creamy either (I have a creamier one). I apply this on my water line, so my eyes will look bigger ^^ and more awake. 

(please don't mind my eyebrows >.<)

As you can see, you don't see a lot and the line disappears really fast. I'm not satisfied with this pencil :/ This is my first white eye pencil but I think it's not a good one. Anyone any other suggestions on eye pencils?

My conclusion, don't buy Max Factor Kohl Pencil's. They suck, or is it just this one?

Hehe, my first review ;) Hope it is any useful. Since I don't have a lot experience yet >.< sorry!

xoxo

NOTD

My first NOTD! ^^ Hope you guys like it! I'm really, really sorry for the blurry pictures. I'm just a total noob and don't know how to make close-up pictures. (Yes, I do know how to zoom-in but then the camera won't take any pictures =-= and the pictures are quite blurry now =-=)

(without flash)

(with flash)

I have such amazing skills... >.< Not.

The nail polish is from Gosh and the colour is 540 Ocean.

It's a bit blue-greenish, not sure what colour you have to name it. And the polish has small glitters in it. And I think it's really a nice colour, not the colour you'd see everyday ;)

I really need coffee now! I'm so tired and almost couldn't stay awake at school due to my lack of sleep which is something I always have on the first day of school after a break. But I think I won't get enough sleep tonight either, since I still have to run =-=, resolutions, resolutions...

xoxo

Things you should be expecting~ and some random talk

Tomorrow school is starting again *big sigh*. Let's get crackin' with all those marks I'll be getting back, especially Geography, I almost gambled EVERY question, and it wasn't multiple choice =-= fail...

But, since school is starting again, OOTD will be coming up, because in vacations I only wear like jogging pants and a sweater (not very fashionable, but it's not like I have to go out in the vacations ;))

Also, more NOTD, since I'll be polishing my nails every week again, if I'm not getting lazy >.<

I hope I will keep posting every day, otherwise I'll just have to write posts in weekends and then post them on the day itself, or automatic posts. Because, I also have a life. Everybody has a life. I always think: "Don't criticise people when you know nothing." (cliché) 

I also hope to review some stuff, but I don't have many stuff. I do have body lotions and all, but I don't know what to write about them.

I did recently buy a new mascara from L'ORÉAL PARIS, but I'll have to finish another one first before I open a new one (hehe, I'm really strict in this xd). And since I haven't found out how I make pictures of my lashes, I can't review it yet, with good pictures and so on. 

Maybe there'll be a haul coming up, I want to buy clothes from YesStyle, not sure yet, but we'll see.

Or if I have enough time and work hard, there'll be a post about my new circle scarf I'm making at the moment. Too bad the vacation's over, less time to get all crafty :(

I'm sorry for this boring post, but at the moment I couldn't think of anything to write >.< shame on me, I know.

I have to get crackin' now, do homework, repair my bag, and get crocheting? So busy... (and yes I know, I'm not the only one and shouldn't be complaining >.<)

xoxo

Happy New Year

Akemashite omedetto! Gelukkig Nieuwjaar! Happy New Year!

Be happy, smile, love, be loved, healthy, careful, safe, honest.

Resolutions 2011

A new year, new resolutions. I failed almost every one I had last year, lol. But this year I want to succeed (fighting spirit)! So here are my resolutions for 2011:

1. Keep updating this blog. I've just started so I still have to get used to it and all. Cooping with school and everything else and keep blogging.
2. Lose weight/fat. This was on my list last year as well, but I failed pretty hard. Let's say I want to lose about 4-5 kg/8.8 lbs or so (if the converter is correct xd)
3. Try to get as much 8 hours of sleep as I can. It's better for my skin and I also heard that you'll eat more if you don't sleep enough so... who knows.
4. Exercise everyday. This one is actually related to losing weight/fat. I want to try and run for at least 20 min. every school day. And for about 1 hour in the weekends. Of course I'll run slowly, I would die if I had to run fast for so long :')
5. Apply sun screen every day. Many make-up gurus keep saying you have to apply sun screen, especially if you're treating acne. I still need to buy a good sun screen, because I think the current one I'm using on my face, breaks me out. Shut out the UV-rays!
6. I want to sew some clothes. Lol, I don't know if this is influenced by my sister, but I do want to make some simple clothes/things, if I can succeed. 
7. Don't slack off so much! Oh gosh, I slack off way too fast. And especially now, that I've made my life even busier (hehe, I'm an idiot) I can't afford to slack off, otherwise it'll cost me my sleep.

So this was my (long?) list of resolutions. What are yours? Tell me~ 

Nyoro~~~n
