More Mac Into the Groove! and Chanel Swatches


So I went back to Mac and ended up getting Style Influencer Mineralize Eyeshadow!

When I went in the day Into the Groove came out, the only eyeshadow I got was Soften the Mood, but I kept thinking back to Style Influencer and the great dark blue (reminded me of Nars Night Flight).

It is a GREAT trio!  the brownish shade I thought was goign to be to reddish, and I am not a fan of reddish eyeshadows, I think they make you look sick. but I was wrong about this one! its a great crease color for blending a smokey eye, then the white is a great highlight.



And I also got two Chanel Eyeshadows, Vert Khaki, and Taupe Gris, i havent had enough time to play with them yet, so I am sure there will be some upcoming posts about them!

here are the swatches!

Lilash and more Into the Groove


I have been meaning to do a Lilash review for a while now, but I couldn't find my old pictures for the life of me!  I finally found them on my external backup thingy.   anyway here goes!
I started using lilash about 8 months ago.  I saw BellaMakeUp's review and a few others, and knew I had to try it!  I had previously been using Talika Lipocils, from Sephora, which has improved the health of my lashes, but not so much the length.  

Here is the before pic of my lashes





Here is Week 4


I could already tell the difference, my lashes were definitely getting longer!

I had minimal irritation, my eyes were a little blood shot for about two days, then that went away. 

Here is about 6 months in



I have NO MASCARA on here!  my lashes are CRAZY long.  so long they actually touch my sunglasses which is kind of annoying!  and sometimes i get mascara smudges on my brow bone because my eyelashes touch my brow bone!  

here's a side pic


I wish I took a before picture from the side to I could show you all what it used to look like.   My lashes were short and went straight out.  now they curl on their own!  and my bottom lashes used to be practically non existent

The skin on my eyelids is a little darker, but it does go away if you stop using it.  I ran out once for about a week, and my eyelids went back to their normal color.  Now I only used it about 2-3 times a week, so the tube lasts me FOREVER.

I also used it on my eyebrows, where I used to have a scar, and it completely filled it in within two weeks!  I cant say enough good things about lilash.   Its something I plan on fitting into my budget no matter what.  Its a necessity for me!


Where to purchase-   I have ordered both from their site and ebay.   Ebay is cheaper, but I have had a few defective bottles (ones that leak a littler, or the top pops off)  but most have been fine.  So its really a person choice if you  are willing to take the chance with Ebay.

And heres a picture I took today to show my lashes with mascara (I'm wearing Stereo Rose, and Jazzed Lipstick)
