Girly Survey

1. Is it cute when guys kiss you on your forehead?
Depends on the situation, I guess. It kinda reminds me of my dad though, which isn't something I want to be reminded of in a guy I'm into.

I'm more of the big poofy dress kinda person I think. I'm not really fond of my legs so I like them to be mostly covered.


3. What would you do if you received a long love letter?
I think it would be really corny. I love letters from my friends and grandma but not guys. I'm not really lovey dovey< I'd probably laugh and maybe break up with them. If you're going to write me a love letter, we don't go together.

Review Revlon Grow Luscious by Fabulash

I wanted to like this. I'm going to use it because, to be honest, I had to throw out my other waterproof mascaras because they went bad. The first thing I noticed about this was the brush looks a lot like the Prestige My Biggest Lashed brush. I love My Biggest Lashes so I was excited to try this. I set my hopes a little too high.

When I first used it, on first swipe it started flaking off the brush and my lashes. Right out of the bottle. Bad sign. Also, as you can see in the pictures, it clumps pretty bad. The picture is only two coats (in Luuux link). If you touch your lashes at all during the day it will flake all over your face. I do like that there isn't as much lash fall out when you go to remove it. I find that water proof mascara is really hard on your lashes in terms of removing your lashes along with your mascara when you go to take it off.

As far as lash growth goes, I think it doesn't dry out your lashes like many mascaras do but I don't think this one does. I'm not sure it grows your lashes like it says it does but maybe if I give it more time...

Looking for inspiration or entertainment: My Top 6 favorite Youtube Beauty Gurus

I love the youtube beauty guru. I thought I would give you guys my top 6 for inspiration. I have subscriptions to others but these are some of my favorites who maybe not everyone has heard of. Hopefully you are as inspired and entertained by them as I am.

http://www.youtube.com/user/lollipop26

Laura was, like most people who watch youtube beauty videos, my first beauty subscription. I love her hauls, I love her style, I love her makeup. Her personality is witty and kind. I always watch her videos first when I pull up my subscriptions. I could listen to her talk for hours.

http://www.youtube.com/user/deanne5253

Deanne is hilarious and really good at these videos. She has good taste and she's really good at makeup. She also is very mindful of cost and tends to review things that won't cost you an arm and a leg. I love her.

http://www.youtube.com/user/juicytuesday

Theresa is really entertaining. She does lots of tutorials which I love, but nothing too complicated that you couldn't actually do it. She's really sarcastic and honest. Her honesty keeps me coming back. If she hates something she's going to tell you. She's not out there to use her channel to sell you things.

http://www.youtube.com/user/kandeejohnson

Kandee is so inspirational. Not only is she a great makeup artist with awesome tips but she is kind. She seeks to build her subscribers up and truly let them into her heart. Her blog continuously inspires me to be positive and try harder. Her sister is also super sweet and inspiring (http://www.youtube.com/user/tiffanycmyers) they look so much alike.

http://www.youtube.com/user/selinajelibaby

Selina is a college student who has a good eye for makeup. She does great reviews. Almost everything she talks about I end up wanting to buy. She's really sweet and open. She always responds to questions. I can totally relate to her and she has my skin tone which helps with her makeup reviews.

http://www.youtube.com/user/BelleDuJourNYC

Dara is so New York but also down to earth and honest. She reviews things that are high end but coupled with things you could actually afford. When she does reviews she actually puts the makeup on so you can see it, which really helps when your debating whether you want it. She's funny and never reviews something she wouldn't buy herself. Her tutorials are simple to execute so you can actually mirror them for yourself.

Review L'Oreal HIP Jelly Balm

I had been hearing a lot about L'Oreal HIP Jelly Balm among some of the beauty gurus. They were saying that it is a much cheaper dupe of Mac's tinted lip moisturizers. I haven't tried Mac's tinted lip moisturizers but I certainly wanted to. I don't have a Mac near me and considering the Jelly Balm's were much cheaper I decided to go for it.

I picked them up at my local Rite Aid for 9 dollars (which isn't super cheap in terms of drugstores) in number 320 Delectable and number 120 Plush. Plush is a true barbie pink. Delectable is a pinky deep red. The smell really good, I'm not sure how to describe the smell besides yummy. They taste pretty good too (not suggesting you eat them but you know how sometimes you end up ingesting them).

They are really sheer but that's the point of them. If you are thinking that you are going to get that color, you just aren't. They are really quite buildable. You aren't going to get the exact color you see in the jar but you can build it up to a pretty color. They are really moisturizing, I don't find myself reaching for my tried and true Nivea chapsticks that I love. These are pretty much my new favorite.

I'm not a huge lipstick so these are perfect for me. I'm not a huge fan of my natural lip color so these are nice to provide a little color and a lot of moisture. They are also pretty glossy but not at all sticky, which is great.

I heard somewhere they were discontinuing these. Is that true? Because if so I need to stock up. I believe there are five colors and maybe I should go back and get them. The supply at my Rite Aid was slim and at CVS it was nonexistent. How do you guys like these?

*In link below - Pictures delectable is on the left or the first one and plush is on the right of the second one. Sorry for the lack of cropping, it wouldn't let me upload the cropped versions*

What are your thoughts on women who wear cologne?

I got two different perfume samples recently. One every girl is most likely familiar with, Viva La Juicy by Juicy Couture. The other was a cologne from Desert Scents called Tumbleweed and Sage. Normally when I run into a cologne I love, I would buy it for my boyfriend so I could smell it all the time. But alas, I just broke up with my boyfriend of 2 and half years a couple months ago so therefore I had no way to snuggle up to that wonderful smell. I turned to my mother and her friend and asked if maybe I could wear it. I had read a study somewhere that said men feel more comfortable and attracted to women who wear male scents because of the subconscious idea that they are just with their guy friends. I have no idea where I read that but my mom and her friend said it smelled good and I could pull it off. My mom also told me that she used to wear a men's cologne many years ago that she liked. After I bought it I texted a friend who told me that she had read that study but she thought it had said slightly male scented perfumes. So is it okay for me to wear it? It smells really traditional. Just exactly what you think of when you think of cologne. Anyone else into men's cologne? I would love the input. I wore it yesterday but yesterday was a tough day and no one was going to comment on it. I do love Viva La Juicy and I plan on getting the full size this week sometime. It's funny because I think they are the polar opposite scents I think.

Mascara Review - Lumene Blueberry Curl Mascara

I want to start with a total product rave. I was ordering some things from Target online when I came across this recommendation. Target knows I spend too much money on makeup which is slightly disconcerting. The mascara that I impulse purchased was Lumene's Blueberry Curl Mascara in Rich Black. I decided I loved it at first use. The brush looks a lot like the brush on the CoverGirl Lash Blast Length brush. It's one of the plastic wands which I like quite a bit but I have one issue with. They hurt my eyes, when you get down on the base of your lashes and your swiping the wand through it irritates that skin there for me. I have the same issue with Covergirl and Max Factor. I think it's just my eyes. I little pathetic. Anyway, I love this mascara. I think it gives great length and really nice volume. It doesn't clump. I normally like my mascara a little dry but this one is pretty wet but not clumpy or goopy wet. It isn't flakey either, which is great. In all those categories it lives up to its claim. They make another claim which goes a little something like this "nourishes your lashes to keep them strong and healthy." It says so on the tube. I haven't really noticed that because I have been using the Loreal Lash Serum so my lashes say pretty much the same day in and day out. But I don't notice very much fall out when I take it off (with Mac Cleanse Off Oils). So maybe there is something to that whole nourishing claim. I am in love. I would like to say it's my holy grail but I love experimenting with mascara too much to commit. Oh, and did I mention it was only 9.99$? Amazing. For pictures click the link below.
