Friday Flakes, Fab & Fails

Hello, Beautiful!

Friday is here again. Is it just me or is this month going by very fast? If you follow me on twitter you would have heard that last night someone tried to come into our home at 4 a.m. This person was obviously intoxicated and got really lost, after the police came and a few hours later I finally got some sleep.It's very gloomy and drizzly here, so I shall go blogging today :)

Friday Flakes, Fab & Fails

FLAKE

COTY AIRSPUN LOOSE FACE POWDER

I have heard people saying that this powder is great for setting concealer and hiding fine lines in the undereye area, but I have to say this was a complete fail and the smell reminds me of a bingo parlor ladies restroom.

FAB

COVER GIRL CLUMP CRUSHER

I  know I have been going on about this mascara, but wow. This stuff is amazing! It separates and thickens up my lashes in a way I never thought possible. I love that my lashes don't get crusty and the drama lasts until I am ready to take it off. This is a definite fab for me.

FAIL

NYC DUO 814B 

I feel that I shouldnt say what I really feel about this product because a child may be reading this. But man this sucks so bad I can't even think about it. The black comes out a soft weathered grey and the white is not even there. There are no other uses for this product except to hold up a rickety night stand. FAIL!

So there you have it my Friday Flakes, Fab & fails.

Do you have any experiences with these products?

Can you give me another reason for the NYC duo? lol.

Friday Flakes, Fab and Fails

Hello, Beautiful!

Well it's Friday again, I can't believe how fast this week has gone by. Before we begin I just want to say thanks to everyone who has subscribed, liked, commented and followed this week. I also have a series on my other blog that talks about things that ticked me off this week,so if you want to check that out click http://www.interwebschic.com/2014/03/things-that-ticked-me-off-this-past-week.html now on to.

Friday Flakes, Fab and Fails

I am going to share with you three products that fall into three categories for me Flake, Fab and Fail.

I do my best to love all my products, but sometimes, geez, they just don't work out. And here we are.

Flake

ELF TINTED MOISTURIZER SPF 20

I saw it and thought I would love it, but I didn't. I will say a little goes a long way with this, because it wouldn't go into my skin and it ended up looking streaky and patchy.

Fab

SEPHORA WATER PROOF JUMBO EYE PENCIL 12HR WEAR

This lil or Jumbo pencil has saved many eye shadows from the trash. I apply this to my lid and it gives life to any shade I apply to it. it give a nice white pearled base. I have a warning though. Don't blend it out with a swipe, I found that patting is best and sharpen before use, when it gets dry it can get patchy, but other than that it is a great base for the eyes or a inner eye brightener.

Fail

MERLOT GRAPE SEED EYE CREAM

As a kid, have you ever put glue all over your hand and peeled it off? Well, that is exactly what this looks like and feels like. Don't get me wrong I am no expert on eye creams, but aren't they supposed to moisturize the eye area? For me this was the exact opposite. I will say that it does reduce puffiness because it makes my under eye area so tight and dry that it enhances my fine lines and wrinkles in my eye area. I really wanted to like this, I have heard good things about it, but for me it just didn't.

So there you have it. Friday Flakes, Fab & Fails, until next week :)

Friday Flakes, Fab & Fails

It's FRIDAY!! Don't you just love Friday's? I love them, they are so liberating :)

Anyhoo, meanwhile back on the ranch...

I am going to share with you three products that fall into three categories for me Flake, Fab and Fail.
I do my best to love all my products, but sometimes, geez, they just don't work out. And here we are.

FLAKES

BH COSMETICS 28 COLOR NEUTRAL PALETTE.

I tried so hard to Love this Palette, but I just can't. It's dry and chalky and the colors are barely there. For some reason BH Cosmetics arent what they used to be. A fellow Blogger Cella Paz Mentioned this and not that I didn't trust her, but I though it was maybe just a dud, alas this wasn't the case. 

FAB

MAKE UP FOR EVER MASCARA: SMOKY EXTRAVAGANT

WOW, is the only word that comes to mind when I use this mascara. I got this as my birthday freebie from Sephora and I am in love!  I will have to buy the full size when I am through with this deluxe sample size. It coats every lash and thickens them up. The brush is shaped like a tear drop and is able to coat those inner eye lashes that are hard to get with another mascara. It doesn't get dry or make your lashes feel brittle.I do strongly suggest you do the bottom lashes first, because it take a min to dry, but once it does it's amazing.

FAILS

BH COSMETICS SAN FRANCISCO PALETTE

I am so disappointed in this palette. The colors are beautiful, but they don't show up when applied and the chalkiness is evil! The blushes apply very spotty and you have to layer them to see any color. Even though this was only 5 bucks it is still a dud. The packaging is adorable, so it has become a decor item rather then a usable item on my vanity.

So there you have it. Friday Flakes, Fab & Fails, until next week :)
