3D Fiber Lashes by Mia Adora {Review}

I was very excited when I received an email invite to review a new product from Mia Adora, the 3D Fiber Lashes. Although I'm not much into makeup, lipstick and mascara are a must have for me. I'm very excited about this one because apparently, this will make your lashes look longer and thicker.

Product Description

Get the Eyelashes You've Always Wanted without Fancy Mascara, Falsies, or Lash Extensions!
Goes on Easily - Brushes on like your regular mascara in 3 simple steps. Plus, you can build up the look of your eyelashes.
Non Irritating - No glue, non-irritating ingredients so you can use it even if you wear contact lens.
Comes with a Free ebook and Protective Carrying Case - We show you exactly how to apply your 3D fiber lashes. Plus you get tons of tips you've never heard before about how to get long, voluminous eyelashes naturally and flawless eyebrows. Everyone will be staring!
Natural, Safe Ingredients - Unlike other brands on the market, our product is made with natural ingredients that conditions and nourishes your eyelashes while magnifying them using 3D Fibers made with 100% Green Tea! Paraben and SLS Free. Never Tested on Animals.

How to use

Step 1 Magnifying Gel

Step 2 natural fiber lashes

Step 3 magnifying gel again

My Thoughts

Right after applying the mascara, I was pleasantly surprised that the lashes did not feel heavy at all. They definitely look thick and long, but the mascara feels very light on my lashes. Other brands that I have tried are sticky; Mia Adora's 3D Fiber Lashes is not sticky at all.

When I applied it, I didn't curl my lashes like I would normally do because I wanted to try it right away, but I should have. My lashes would have been more gorgeous if I did.

Unlike other mascaras, this did not irritate my eye. Some mascara makes me tear. Just be careful not to let the fibers get into your eye when you apply it.

Recommendation

Overall, I am very satisfied with this product. If you want to have thicker and longer lashes, I highly recommend this.

Where to buy?

You can purchase the 3D Fiber Lashes by Mia Adora on Amazon (US) and on Amazon (Can). Regular readers and followers of this blog in both Canada and USA can take advantage of 20% off from now until Dec 31, 2014. Just use the promo Code: EVEWGK7V before checkout.

Disclosure: I received a sample of this product free of charge for the purpose of this review. All opinions expressed here are 100% my own and was in no way influenced by anyone or the brand.

Anti Aging Cream Moisturizer VITAMIN C From CAMU CAMU {Review}

I've read a lot of great reviews about the Anti Aging Cream Moisturizer VITAMIN C From CAMU CAMU, so I was very excited when I found out I am going to review it. It contains Shea Butter, Acai, Noni, Pomegranate, Aloe, Pure Green Tea Extract, Mangosteen and Collagen; ingredients that are proven to soften and brighten skin and smooth out wrinkles.

Product Description

Strongest Vitamin C From The Camu Camu

Fruit Full of Amino Acids, Antioxidants - Paraben FREE

Helps Reverse The Aging Process

Coconut Oil, Zeolite, Acai, Noni, Pomegranate, Aloe, Pure Green Tea Extract, Mangosteen

Made in the USA - Cruelty Free in a FDA approved Lab

My Thoughts

Like I mentioned above, the cream has a powerhouse list of ingredients. It is very rich and it's not scented. But don't let the richness turn you off because it does not feel heavy on the skin at all. It's very light and absorbs pretty quickly. It dries up fast and it does not leave a greasy look. I have oily skin and I love that this cream works for me. My skin feels amazingly soft and when I woke up the following day, it still looks plump.

It's only been a few days and although I still have not noticed improvements on my fine lines and wrinkles, I'm so sure I will continue to discover a lot of great things in the weeks to come.

Recommendation

I love the results I am getting from this moisturizer. It goes perfectly under makeup and it leaves your skin smooth and creamy soft for hours. And the good thing is, you don't need a lot to cover your entire face, so a little goes a long way. This moisturizer works and I recommend this.

Where to buy?

You can purchase the Anti Aging Cream Moisturizer on Amazon. The cream is fairly priced at $29.95.

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

How to Find the Perfect Wedding Dress

If you’re finding it hard to choose the perfect wedding dress, don't fret because I will be giving you some tips for you to find the wedding dress of your dreams.

When looking for a wedding dress, avoid scheduling your appointment later in the day. It's always best to schedule a mid-morning or early in the afternoon when the bride still has a lot of energy and the store staff has not dealt with a lot of other clients. Aside from the store not being crowded, you will get the full attention of the wedding dress consultant and she can give you a lot of fresh ideas when she, herself is just starting the day and is not tired and stressed out, yet.

Instead of looking for tons of wedding dress designs right away, try to picture yourself first in a wedding dress silhouette. See what silhouette works best for you [is it the fitting style, body-hugging style, empress style, vintage, etc.?] As much as possible, try not to get caught up in the recent trend. For all you know, that style will not work for you. It will be best to concentrate on your personal style or the style that flatters you most.

Most brides go for the fancy hems, ruffles and long trains. Of course, those details are important, but give the TOP of your wedding dress more attention. After all, it's what people will notice first and the most seen in your wedding photos.

Be patient and try on as many wedding dresses as you need to. A gorgeous wedding dress on a hanger can look terrible when fitted and what you perceive as not as beautiful can make you look stunning. Just like regular outfits, a wedding dress takes on a different shape and look once it's on a woman's body.

Now, that you know the key points in finding the perfect wedding dress, you can now start shopping. You may want to start your search at Gbridal.com. These tips will help you find it quickly and without going nuts and give you more time to focus on other wedding details.

Vitamin C Serum and Vitamin C Eye Cream Gel by Sano Naturals {Review}

I'm already in my forties and I like taking care of my skin. Along with a good cleanser, toner and moisturizer, I also use a Vitamin c serum to even out my skin tone and brighten dark spots. Today, I am reviewing Sano Naturals' Vitamin C Serum and Vitamin C Eye Cream Gel. Actually, the eye gel is just a bonus.

Product Description

Vitamin C Serum With Triple Action Anti-Aging Ingredients
Stable Serum Made in the USA in an FDA
Certified Facility Anti Aging Antioxidant Vitamin C with Hyaluronic Acid
Helps With Hyperpigmentation, Melasma, Wrinkles and Collagen

My Thoughts

The serum is not as thick as the other Vitamin c serums that I've tried. The consistency is like water, but once applied it has that sticky feeling that goes away quickly. It's very light and easily absorbed and it works great under makeup. I like that it leaves my skin feeling smooth and very soft. I've been using this for almost two weeks and I noticed that my dark spots keep getting lighter.

As for the Vitamin c eye gel, it has a nice texture and it's not sticky. I love that it has a cooling effect. It relaxes eyes instantly! My dark circles because of lack of sleep are becoming lighter, too.

Recommendation

Overall, I had a wonderful experience with this duo. If you're looking for products to fight the signs of aging and keep your skin soft and silky smooth, these products are worth giving a try.

Where to buy?

You can purchase the Vitamin C Serum and Vitamin C Eye Cream Gel through the Sano Naturals website and on Amazon. The duo is fairly priced at $18.95.

UV Lamp Nail Polish Timer 36W Acrylic Gel Light Dryer by Salon Edge {Review}

I was very excited when I found out I was one of the lucky bloggers approved to review the UV Lamp Nail Polish Timer 36W Acrylic Gel Light Dryer by Salon Edge.

Product Description

36 Watts
Easily Cures Gel Polish with Automatic and Manual Interval Settings ( 90, 120, or 180 Seconds)
Large Square Sized Body Comfortably Fits One Hand
Lightweight Body Makes Travel
Easy Dimensions - 9"W x 3.5"H x 10.25" Deep

My Thoughts

As soon as the UV lamp arrived at my doorstep, my daughter and I tried it right away. We love painting our nails, but I can't do it often because of lack of time. I just hate it when I have just painted my nails and I'd get them smudged because I didn't have enough time to let the polish dry properly. The UV lamp worked effectively at curing and drying gel based nail lacquers as well as regular polish. It only took a few minutes to dry my newly painted nails and they looked like they were done by a professional.

I love that we can use this to dry regular lacquers in a breeze as well as the gel polishes. I've only seen this cool gadget in a salon, but now I have it at home and I can have perfectly painted nails any time I want.

The UV lamp and dryer looks so cool and it's packaged really nicely. It's big, but it is actually very light. Though it cures only one hand at a time, it won't take long to do it. It comes with a built in timer where you can choose the setting to cure and dry the polish.

Recommendation

If you want gorgeous salon quality nails at home this is a great product to try. It's well crafted, lightweight and easy to use. The UV lamp will give you perfectly cured nails in just 2 minutes.

Where to buy?

You can purchase the Salon Edge UV Lamp Nail Polish Timer 36W Acrylic Gel Light Dryer Slide Out Tray on Amazon. It is fairly priced at $21.99.
