Kiko Colour Mascara - Love it or Hate it?

Hola amigos,
    I've tried the blue mascara and I wanted to tell you guys what I thought!

Here's the mascara in case you forgot what it looks like :P

and the brush, which didn't excite me at first

Here's a comparison picture, Kiko on the left, nothing on the right

And here's both eyes done!

I absolutely looooove this mascara!  It is SO blue and noticeable.  A colorful mascara might not be to everyone's taste but I think it amped up my look immensely.  I also love huge voluminous lashes and this mascara definitely helped me to achieve the same effect that my Maybelline Falsies mascara gives me.  I was surprised because I have used colored mascaras before and they are pretty and colorful yes but they do nothing to my lashes except add color!

The mascara didn't flake, didn't smudge, and even after being caught in some light rain and me (stupidly) touching my eyes, it stayed put.  However it was easy enough to remove at the end of the day.

I give this mascara a 5 out of 5!

Their website is here, go check them out!

Thanks for reading!

New Items in My Room

Hola amigos,

      I start a new job today! wooo!  So here's a short post of some new things I've bought and either loved or hated: (Some I bought awhile ago and have forgotten prices, forgive me!)

Collagen Makeup Remover Cleansing Tissues

bought at Ross for $3.99

AWFUL PRODUCT!  I have to rub so hard to remove my

makeup and that is never good for a face!  Also they sting my eyes like crazy.

Urban Decay De Slick Setting Spray

AMAZING! I can finally control my oily skin especially in this summer heat.

Spray in an X all over face before makeup, and another X afterwards for best results!

With this product my oily T-zone disappears and my makeup no longer becomes patchy over time.

Kiko Super Colour Mascara in Blue

My aunt just traveled to Italy and bought this for me there, I'm a lucky girl! :)

The brush does not excite me though

The color is gorgeous!  I have yet to try this product but when I will do I will update this post.

Rimmel Show Off Lip Laquers

Bought in a BOGO 50% at Walgreens!

This product is either faulty or someone stole the little plastic thing inside (see below)

This thing!

The colors are beautiful and they stained my hand for the whole day and the next

(yes I showered!)

HOWEVER: They are very hard to put on!  You definitely need a mirror, and

because they stain so badly, be careful using your fingers to make corrections

 Last up and not a beauty product is my Fearless bracelet from Nordstrom Rack

Gold and mint, what could be better?  I know it's a tad tacky

but hey who doesn't like to show the world their bravery? :)

Thanks for reading!

Hola amigos,
    Sorry I've been AWOL! I had a friend visit that I know from college and we had an epic time, leaving me NO time for blogging!  But hopefully this August Birchbox will make up for it. :)

I am incredibly excited to try the eyeliner as well as the hair treatments (my poor hair is so brittle)!  I am skeptical of the deodorant but I'll try that out on a day where I don't have to impress anyone ;)

I Do SFX Makeup Too!

Hola amigos,
   This is just a question post on my lazy Friday afternoon. :)

     I've mentioned before that I do SFX makeup (stage makeup with different special effects)

     Here are a few examples:

Would you guys want to see any kind of an SFX tutorial?

Thanks for your input!
