Beauty Reviews 2

Here's a few items I use on a regular basis.


AVANTI ULTRA CERAMIC STRAIGHTENER

This straightener has 1" plates and heats up to 430 degrees. You can purchase it at Trade Secrets and I paid $79.99. It came with a 2 year warranty. It works just as well as a Chi except half the price. I have owned 2 Chi's and within a year of each of them stopped working. It actually gets hotter then a Chi. The original Chi only gets as hot as 356 degrees. So far this straightener has lasted longer then both of my chi's combined and I still haven't had any problems. If your looking for a great straightener I really recommend this one.








L'OREAL TRUE MATCH SUPER BLENDABLE CRAYON CONCEALER 

This concealer crayon is great for cover blemishes and dark under eye circles. With 3 kids under 5 I often have bags under my eyes lol. It's a thick crayon so if you need to apply a lot it's easy or if you only need a little bit you can use the tip. You just have to twist the bottom so there's no need for a sharpener. I bought it at Walmart for around $8 The colour I use is Fair W1-2-3






QUO INSTANT ARTIST

This line of nail polish is great for making designs on your nails. It has a thin brush that allows you to make thick or thin lines depending on how much polish you have on the brush. I love that I can do my own designs on my fingers or toes instead of having to pay for it at a nail salon.  I purchased this at Shoppers for $4. Below is an example of how you can make thin or thick lines with the brush. This colour is Neon Pink.







COVERGIRL LASHBLAST 24HR MASCARA

I love all of lashblast mascaras from Covergirl. This mascara is waterproof and has really long wear. It gives your eyelashes lots of volume. I have been buying this brand for over a year now and used the regular lashblast (orange tube) for about 3 years before that. No matter how many mascaras I've tried ( I've tried many) for length I always go back to these ones. The colour I use is Very Black. I purchased it at Shopper for $12.99.

  1. 've had my Avanti now since 2007, and it's still going! the dial on it is a little finicky, but I can live with that, considering it's 6 years old!
    PS: Winners has them for $30! which is where I will get my next one, if it ever dies.

    Annnnnd if you haven't tried "Revlon Photoready 3D Volume" waterproof mascara, I HIGHLY recommend you try it. I used lashblast for a decade until I came across this one. It's better than any Mac or sephora mascara I've ever tried...It looks like I'm wearing fake lashes, isn't clumpy and stays on for days. I have to use coconut oil to get it off (which is also the best makeup remover I've ever used)

    I definitely would not recommend Mabeline "The Rocket". It's apparently all the rage, but it sucks. You have to apply 100 layers and they will flake off and live under your eyes all day like little spiders legs.
