Glitter and Falsies!

So the EOTD was kind of a fail, I didn't chose the right combo and my glitter lining skills suck the big one.

I also used the new Maybelline Falsies mascara.

Is there some trick to this damn thing? It works on my left eye (right in pic) but I can't get it right on the other. This is why I hate brushes that aren't combs, when they are made, the little bristles seem to favour one side because of the way they spiral down the brush. Each eye is done from a slightly different angle so I'd prefer no slanting if that makes sense :)

Here's the brush, I drew on it to show how they slant.



And what's with the weird divot part way up the wand? It just looks like a weak spot.

And here's what I mean by one side looking wonky (sorry for the bit of blurry, I tried 4 times to try to catch both eyes and this was the least fail of the bunch)



See how the one on your right looks okay but the left is like WTF ARE YOU DOING TO ME LADY!!

I don't think I'll buy this again. If I can I may try cleaning my Lash Stylist wand and try to use it with the formula.

And on to the shadow!

I used Aromaleigh and Fyrinnae's glitter best friend.

All over eye: Georgiana
Crease: Mania's Locus
Liner: Pixie Epoxy smeared on like liner with Bete Noire glitter in Morgaine pressed on top.

I didn't make my line as pointed as I wanted, it's hard to see when you're first putting on clear colourless liquid! :D

1 pic because I suck



I may not have a look for tomorrow, I got some kind of weird sickness happening. It felt like it did when I had tonsillitis. The problem there? I got those babies ripped out of me a few years ago. I haven't taken any medicine yet but I still feel light headed and all weak and junk. At least the odd "HOLY CRAP IT'S 30 DEGREES OUT BUT I NEED 2 BLANKIES AND A HOUSE COAT TO BE WARMISH" is over. I was shivering so hard I chomped on my tongue.

On the positive side? Me being home from work sick, I just got a call my glasses are in!! I can't wait to show them off :)
Bye naow!

Maybelline Lash Stiletto

I've always wanted to try this since it first came out but was never on sale. I didn't want to pay $10, I'm cheap like that. Finally it went on sale for $6.99 so I grabbed one in "soft black". I usually go for blackest black but it wasn't on sale. And to make it more awesome, I completely forgot it wasn't "blackest black" and got a bit of a shock when I pulled the brush out and saw the odd greyish black colour. (What do ya expect from a girlie who has never seen different :D )

The claim:
Lash Stiletto contains the latest application and formula technology giving lashes a mesmerizingly elongated look. Do for your lashes what 5 inch stilettos do for your legs.
* The Grip & Extend brush grasps each lash and coats from every angle
* Elastic formula stretches lashes for provocative length
* Pro-Vitamin B-5 formula conditions and smoothes for black-patent shine
* Contact lens safe and Ophthalmologist tested


The wand was just a basic mascara wand, no curve, no fancy rubber, just a thin, straight brush.



It also stunk. Not like putrid swamp water, but like artificial roses or some stink. I wasn't expecting that either. I quite like the regular chemical makeup mascara smell, why add fragrance? Who the hell is going to talk to me and be like, "WOAH, what is that wonderful aroma emanating from your eyeballs?!? I want you!"

I was hoping for shiny ass lashes and was left saying what the shit?

(I don't know how to do side by side so hopefully this way works too)








There was no shiny and it just seemed pretty basic to me. Another downside is it didn't make my lashes fuller, only added a bit of length. I should have seen if there was a fullness/lengthening one with the shiny. But since this one didn't have the shiny.... NO DEAL MAYBELLINE! It could also be that I'm just used to a mascara having the "fullness" factor automatically, I didn't think to look for any volumizers. It also did hardly anything on my lower lashes.


Packaging: 4/5 It slightly resembles a heel!
Price: 3/5 only try it on sale
Product: 2/5 They were longer but I've had better from cheaper.
Overall: 2/5 If you want length, try it, but it stinks, literally and you can find better.
Would I buy again? Nah

I will take pictures again in a week just to make sure. I know most of the mascaras I buy usually need a week to get "broken" in, but I doubt the "patent" shine will magically appear by then.
