First Impression - YSL Mascara Volume Effet Faux Cils


Hi everyone! Welcome back to my blog.  For this post I have a very special piece of info to share with you guys.  This will be a first impressions on a high end mascara that I am still surprised to have received.

I was "invited" to enroll into Influenster's community in order to receive and review products and this time I received this product complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.  This is one of the very few high end, full size mascaras that I have owned and lets get started.

YSL decided to reformulate one of their most iconic products and changed the formula in order to have a new Lash Care formula. It claims that it will give you intense volume, intense color and, now, intense care. It contains B5 Pro-Vitamin that will strengthen and proctect the lashes.

This mascara can be purchased where ever YSL is sold and for reference, price is around $32.00. It comes in 6 colors, at least that is what I was able to see on Sephora's website (I use it as a reference most of the time): Black 1, Brown 2, Blue 3, Purple 4, Burgundy 5, and Deepnight 6.

Before I get to the packaging and the mascara itself, let me just show you the neat card that came with it. It has the beautiful Cara Delevigne on it and also it shows the eye shadow palette that they are launching:


Now, let's talk about the packaging.  It is stunning, sooo luxurious. It has a certain weight to it that helps you have a better grip of the wand.


It is such a pretty gold tube with the YSL logo on the front. Sorry that my picture is not the best, is just that the flash reflected so much on the tube that it looks orange. When you shut it close you will notice sort of a "click" and the logo will be perfectly aligned.

Now, lets take a look to the wand:



The brush is a very nice sized brush, not extremely big or too skinny. It will help to give volume and length to the lashes without making them look clumpy.

I will show you a couple pictures of my eyes with and without the mascara.



So, you can see my eyes without any makeup and no curled lashes, only eye shadow primer and, yes, my big brows as I like them.


Here you see that I have decently long lashes, so length is not too much of a concern for me.




The last few pictures are with the mascara on. As show, it gave me volume and additional length. My lashes look so long that the tips almost touch my brows, that's amazing!! Also, my lashes tend to clump and this mascara didn't do that, at least for now. No crunchiness and it has that nice YSL scent that most of their products have. The only bad thing that I have found, so far, is that the scent lingers (I put the mascara on around 6:30 a.m. today and it is 10:30 a.m. and I can smell it).

So far, I am really liking this mascara. I just hope it will not transfer but I will let you know.

Thank you for stopping by and for reading my post.  I'll see you on the next one!

Quick Update: It's now 5:30 p.m., mascara has been on for about 11 hours total. No flaking, no smudging, no crunchiness. My lashes feel very soft, look very black, and very long. My only problem is the scent that will not go away and it makes me a little dizzy but that will not make me not use it.

That'll be all for now. Thank you for stopping by!

Quick Review: Tatcha Pure One-Step Camellia Cleansing Oil

Hi everyone! I have a quick post on a product that I recently purchased, tried and enjoyed a lot.  It is the Tatcha Pure One-Step Camellia Cleansing Oil.  I bought the 0.8 oz. bottle back in September ($12.00 the travel size and $48.00 for 5.1 oz)  and about a week after I received it I used and I did not like it, at all but this thing has instructions and a little learning curve.  But let me tell you about it: Tatcha is a relatively new to Sephora, it is a luxury brand, kind of pricey, and its founder, while traveling in Japan, met with a Geisha who share their ancient beauty secrets, which were improved with a little help of science and they have very good reviews, on almost every single one of their products. As for the cleansing oil, this is what Sephora's webpage says: "This beautiful blend of botanical oils thoroughly cleanses the skin without stripping it of its natural moisture—an essential first step for any skincare ritual. Formulated without...

Por qué me ausenté

Ha pasado demasiado tiempo desde la última publicación que hice, como 3 años si no me equivoco. Básicamente, life got in the way, y ya no contaba con el tiempo para hacerlo. Además, no tenía el ánimo ni las ganas. Why you may ask? Porque estoy cansada de todo. Cansada de estar esforzándome e intentarlo, tomar fotos, editar, publicar y no ver nada. Cansada de que otra gente sin intentarlo y sin trabajar logran lo que yo tanto quiero y un millón de cosas y quejas más. Y, aunque estoy a un paso de acogerme al "cancel culture" y borrarme de las redes sociales, que me hacen trabajar más que mi propio 8-5 job, no lo haré.  Respiraré, me tomaré mi tiempo y veremos qué pasa. Rendirse no es una opción, en nada en la vida, le digo a mi hija. Y quién sería yo como ejemplo si no predico lo que digo. That means que tomaré aire, respiraré, and I'll try harder. Mantendré mi lealtad conmigo misma, mis ideas y principios, haré lo posible por no sentirme menos al no lograr lo ...

Christmas Beauty Haul

Hi everyone and welcome back to my blog. This time I'd like to share my Christmas beauty haul. I know it is a little late but hey, better late than never. So let's get started: First stop was a new brand for me that is all over Youtube:  Colour Pop Cosmetics . This brand is quite new and they have so far, eye shadows and lipsticks (or lippie stix) and lip liners. Every individual item, whether it is an eye shadow or a lippie stix is only $5.00 and once you hit the $30.00 mark, you get free shipping withing the USA. Believe me, reaching the $30.00 is quite easy. This is what my package looked like before I decided to bust it open. It came with one of the Christmas sets that I ordered and an additional lippie stix. Another thing to keep in mind when making your first order is that, when you subscribe you can get $5.00 off that very first purchase so more reason to buy. Let me show you what I got: This was one of the Holiday Collection...
