COVERGIRL So Lashy! Mascara & COVERGIRL Intensify Me! Liquid Liner Review

Hey everyone! Today I am sharing with you two new COVERGIRL products that are for the eyes! I will be talking about their new Intensify Me! Liquid Liner as well as their So Lashy! Mascara that is designed for all types of lashes!

COVERGIRL So Lashy! Blast PRO Mascara in #785 Extreme Black 

This product really speaks to me because I have both Straight as well as Sparse lashes! It can be difficult for me to find a mascara to help me out in both departments! I have high hopes for this product and can’t wait to see what it will do to my lashes! Applying fake lashes is a quick fix, but this mascara would be ideal for when I go to work or for days that I don’t have the time to apply falsies on.

Pros:

- An innovative product

- I am drawn to the packaging and really like it!

- It is a drugstore item that can be found at major drugstore chains

- This is a plastic wand for those of you who are fond of them

- It comes in 5 different shades: Extreme Black, Intense Black, Jet Black, Black & Black Brown

- It is also available in a waterproof formula (according to the COVERGIRL web site,) for those of you who prefer that formula. I personally do not use it so therefore, that doesn’t affect my opinion on this product.

- The ball tip is designed to get even your smallest lashes

Cons:

- This mascara is more on the expensive side for being drugstore

- Certain areas in the brush lacked bristles to be available to actually coat my lashes which can cause clumps because it is depositing too much product

- The bristles are quite stiff which can raise concern for people with sensitive eyes

Product Features/Claims:

- Lash Fibers

- Mascara can be used for all lash types (Curly, Sparse or Straight)

- 3-in-1 brush head

- Long lasting

- A volumizing mascara

- Bold and dark volume for any type of lashes (their darkest formula to date)

- COVERGIRL is claiming that it is a unique product and there are none that compare to this one

- Smudge, flake and smear resistant

- Great for contact lens wearers

- Easy to remove at the end of the day

Price:

It retails for $11.99 USD on the Ulta web site and $12.99 CAD at Shoppers Drug Mart. This is definitel more on the pricey side for being a drugstore mascara. 

COVERGIRL Intensify Me! By Lash Blast Liquid Liner in #300 Intense Black

Product Features/Claims:

- Paddle Tip - Thick to Thin lines depending on your preference 

- Marker-style pen

- No Mess

- That it has the control of a pencil

- Intensity of a liquid liner 

- That it is suitable for sensitive eyes which I do have

- Dries quickly

- Easy to remove with soap and water

Pros:

- I swatched this on my hand before applying it to my lids and it was budge proof!

- It was waterproof for about 6-7 hours despite washing my hands multiple times before I finally seen it start to fade slightly

- It is very opaque in colour

- The product glides on effortlessly

- It is very easy to use

- Matte finish

- Very easy to remove with my YSL Eye Makeup Remover. I barely had to rub it off on my skin.

- Delivers a very bold colour onto the eyelids

- Affordable as it retails for about $8-$11 CAD depending on where you purchase it from

- A drugstore product
- There are 5 great shades to choose from: Intense Black, Sapphire, Emerald, Blue Topaz & Smoked Amber

Cons:

- The applicator is stiff and can take some getting used to for those who like a flexible applicator tip

- Can feel like you are using a Sharpie marker to line your eyes

- Need to store this tip down in a jar or a glass to prevent this from drying out quickly

- There is a learning curve to using this liner and especially to perfecting using this liner!

Overall Thoughts:

Everyone has a different way of doing their liquid eyeliner. It takes months to master and once you get the hang of it, you become comfortable doing it a certain way. To change the way you are doing it can lead to much frustration. It is inevitable that this product is going to get mixed reviews depending on what your preference is with liquid liner.

Dupe for the Flormar Triple Action Mascara

Hey everyone! I found a product that is basically identical to the Flormar Triple Action Mascara!

Price
The dupe is called the Zoom-In Ultimate Mascara by Flower Beauty. I purchased mine on sale at Wal-Mart for only $4.50 CAD. The mascara by Flormar retails for ‎€9.95 which is the equivalent of approximately $14.42 CAD.

Differences

The main differences are that in the dupe by Flower Beauty, it has 0.29 oz of products and the mascara by Flormar only has 0.27 oz of product. You are actually getting more product in the dupe. Also, the mascara by Flormar has Argan Oil and Olive Oil. The Zoom-In Ultimate Mascara contains D-Panthenol to help smooth the lashes and rice wax that 'helps smudge-proof colour.' The cheaper alternative by Flower Beauty comes in five different formulas: Intense Black, Black, Brown-Black, Brown and Waterproof Intense Black. I only found one formula by Flormar when I researched online.

Similarities 
They both have rose gold packaging and the shape of the tube is the exact same. The three wand heads are identical and at the top, both mascaras tell you to twist as it is a 3-in-1 product. They also have the exact same little icon. Basically, I can keep telling you the similarities but this is pretty much an identical product.

Opinion(s)

I own the Flower Beauty Zoom-In Ultimate Mascara but I do not own the similar mascara by Flormar. See another blog post I wrote that mentions the mascara by Flower Beauty and you can view more photos there. Overall, I do like this mascara but it is not one of my favourites. It does the job but it is not a holy grail mascara of mine. This is a multi-functional mascara that curls, lengthens and adds volume. I find this to be more of a gimmick but it does get the job done.

I wasn't able to find this exact product on the Flormar web site but if you do a quick Google search, you will be able to find the information you need. I also can't use a photo of the Flormar mascara because I do not have rights to it and I do not own it so that is out of the question.

Sorry for the delay in posting content. My camera that I was using to take my blog photos was on its last leg and I ordered a new camera, but I was having problems with the shipping company. Anyway, it finally got to my house and now I can start posting content again! 

Until next time,

STAY CLASSY

Tricky Hair | 3D Mink Eyelashes

Hey everyone! Since it is Thanksgiving here in Canada, I wanted to wear my Mink Lashes by Tricky Hair that will compliment any fall look!

 I received many compliments when I wore them out and they were definitely the star of the show!

Packaging

I absolutely love the packaging that the mink lashes come in! The black and pink looks great together! The polka dots add a nice touch and to open up the box that the lashes come in, you simply pull the two parts on the top outwards. I also appreciated that it didn't come in that plastic packaging that other brands house their lashes in. This is a very sturdy box and like I mentioned, you literally open up the box to get to the lashes and there is no slide out exterior cover that some of you may be used to. It is a very practical and well thought-out design!

The Lashes

These lashes are made with 100% Mink Fur. They are very soft and they are long in length which I absolutely love! They can also be worn for a night out with the girls, on a bride that would like a more dramatic lash or if you have a special upcoming event! I have small eyes in general and every single lash that I buy (regardless of the brand,) I do have to cut. I didn't have to trim much off these lashes but underneath is a photo of the lashes outside the box before I cut them. If you are wondering, they are very comfortable to wear, they are very lightweight (they are not heavy & do not weigh down your lids,) and they are BY FAR my favourite pair of lashes that I currently own! They are more full towards the band and they feather out towards the end giving a more dramatic look. I would estimate that they would be good for about 20-25 uses if you take care of them.

Before & After

You can see from the photos above that I have sparse lashes that are long in length. I look for a lash that gives me volume and that is exactly what these mink eyelashes gave me! I couldn't be happier and you can see for yourself down below the difference that it made.

Before

After

The Eye Look

To achieve the eye look, I used the Morphe 350 Palette. I have highlighted which shades that I used on my eyes. The shimmery shade that is in the top row and third from the left, I used that all over my lid. The gorgeous brown shade was used in my lower crease. The orange shade directly to the right of the brown was used in my upper crease. Then I went in with the shade underneath the orange that is circled in black in my outer-v. To go underneath my lower lashes, I used a mixture of the three shades to the right of the palette. To add some shimmer in my inner corners and for my brow bone highlight, I went in with my trusty Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette with Venus. In-between my crease colours and brow bone highlight, I used Foxy in that same palette as a transitional shade. 

What I Used On My Lips:

- ColourPop Lippie Pencil in Brink 

- Revlon Lip Butter in Raspberry Pie

- Revlon Colourburst Lip Gloss in Bordeaux

On my lips, I used three different products and definitely took advantage of a more glossy lip since that is coming back after the matte lips took over for a while and I couldn't be happier!

Tricky Hair sells clip in hair extensions and 3D Mink Eye Lashes. Visit them at Tricky Hair Extensions.

Until next time,

STAY CLASSY.
