Lancome Grandiose Extreme Review With Pictures... Is It The Best Mascara?

 Lancome has been known to have some pretty great mascaras and I was anxious to try this one when it caught my eye. I have been slowly trying them out to find which is my favorite. I will be doing a review on all of them and rating them from 1 to 10.  

The first one I reviewed is their 'Grandiose Extreme' a mascara they claim will give you volume, length and up to 24 hours of wear. The wand is shaped in what they have trademarked " The Swan Neck Wand" which is what helps you achieve the latter.

Grandiose Extreme  

My first impression of the mascara is how beautiful the packaging is. I really liked the shape and details of the bottle. 

The curve of the wand is meant to help apply the mascara more precisely. It took some getting used to but after a few strokes I got the hang of it and it actually does help apply it more precisely. 

The texture of the “formula”that coats your lashes is very nice. It allows enough time for you to brush the mascara and style them to your liking then dries to a vibrant matte black 👌🏾

The real concern all woman have when wearing a mascara... Is it going to run on me? I have really sensitive eyes and they constantly get watery, so I’m very picky when it comes to choosing my ride or die mascara. 

The first time I wore it I had a full face of makeup on, I was in front of lights and I moved around a lot. The mascara did not run it held up well. So I’m starting to get really excited now.

However it looked spidery and clumpy, I was very disappointed at this. 

I was ready to put it back in the box to return it, then I realized why my lashes were so clumpy. I got eyelash glue on them . How does one forget to wait for the glue to get tacky. 🤷🏽‍♀️

I gave it a fair try again and my lashes looked a lot better. I worked out and cleaned the house, it did not run. My lashes held the curl and length for like 10 hours.  

The Score 

I would rate this mascara a 7, the wand design can be a little tricky and I smeared mascara on my eyelid and cheeks a few times.

The application of the mascara would go on so much more even and less heavy if the wand didn’t pick up on so much formula. The solution would be to wipe some of it off but then you end up wasting a lot of product. 

Overall it’s a good mascara with more positives then negatives but it’s definitely worth trying. 

What Mascara should I review next? 

Gerard Cosmetics Long Wear Hydra Matte Liquid Lipstick Review!

Gerard cosmetics makes some of my favorite lipsticks, and lip glosses, so when they came out with these liquid lipsticks I knew they were going to be good. Well they are more than good, they are awesome! I really can't rave these enough and they always come up with great promotions so I always wait for that before I buy anything. 

These liquid lipsticks are amazing, I completely over looked the "hydra" part but as soon as I applied it I felt the difference. They are hydrating and matte at the same time which is a plus! The colors are absolutely beautiful, wearable and long lasting. Make sure to follow Gerard Cosmetics on Instagram so you can catch their promotion codes and save some mula and if you don't already, follow me too!

Lilly Ghalichi Lilly Lashes Review And Photos!

I love me some fake lashes and there is nothing that can spice up a look more then lashes. This lashes are really nice and what I love the most about them is that they look and feel so natural. I have tried a lot of lashes all price range so I have a good idea of what I like in lashes. What I like the most about these ones, is that the strip is soooo thin it really blends with your natural lash line. 

Me encanta usar pestañas postisas , le dan un toque de glamour y sexapeal a cualquier look. Esta collecion de pestañas son muy lindas y me encanta por lo natural que se sienten y lucen. Yo personalmente eh tratado muchos tipos de pestañas y se lo que me gusta y lo que no. Particularmente lo que me gustan mas de estas son su banda fina la que ayuda a que luzcan mas natural y sea mas facil de applicar. 

Instabul has been worn by me a few times now and I love it, its really a nice set of lashes and they look really natural on. I wore it for the Keira Knightley look I did and a few times after that, I even wore them without any other eye makeup on and they looked so natural!  

Instabul es la que ya eh lucido en varias ocaciones ya, son muy bellas y lucen super natural puestas. Las use cuando cree el video inspirado en Keira Knightley y tambien las eh lucido hasta sin ningun otor maquillaje en los ojos y parecia que fueran mias solo que mas largas y gruesas. 

Barcelona are the most long and dramatic, but they are very thin so I would stack them with maybe shorter but thicker ones to give them a more complete dramatic effect Lilly always stacks hers on and now I know why.

Barcelona son las mas large y dramaticas de las que compre, pero tambien son super finas haci que tendria que usar dos de estas o otra mas corta pero mas gruesas para que luzcan un poquito mas "llena" y completa. La creadora de estas pestañas Lilly Ghalichi siempre luce sus pestañas de dos y aveces hasta de tres y ya entiendo por que. 

Tehran is beautiful too but they can definitely be a little fuller, I wore this and they are perfect for a someone is just starting to add lashes to their makeup routine but is not ready to go too dramatic just yet. 

Tehran son bellas pero como las anteriores pudieran ser un poco mas gruesa para mi gusto. 

Hong Kong are bottom lashes and I will be completely honest I have NEVER worn them or any bottom lashes. I do how ever want to try them out one day I'm feeling super glam. 

Hon Kong para las pestañas inferiores y honestamente nunca eh usado pestañas postizas ahi pero queise comprar unas y ver si un dia me animo.  

St. Tropez are corner lashes I like to use them with Tehran, together they look beautiful and make more of a cat eye look. 

St. Tropez son para las esquinas de los ojos para que luzcan mas en forma de gato, me gusta husar estas con Tehran juntas crean una pestaña muy hermosa. 

These are individual undies lashes for the lower lash line, I will begin with these and work my  self up to hong kong as I start to feel more comfortable with bottom lashes. 

Estas son para las pestañas inferiores pero son individuales, con esta empezare a practicar y a ver si me gusta..

 I love beauty packs they are so convenient for on the go. And when its made with the right products and color scheme is even better. Benefit has been coming up with some pretty good one in the past and I am obsessed with them to say the least! The latest one is actually a collaboration with Matthew Williamson, and the colors are really gorgeous! This is perfect for any girl who like the golden look and also loves juicy red lips! The red is kind of sheer, but it is sooo sexy on! It really gives you that kind of flushed look. I also love the highlighter/blush, the whole kit is really gorgeous and worth getting for a perfect travel or on the go companion. It also makes a cute gift, I checked sephora online to make sure they still have it and its on sale for $24 I purchased it for $34. Do you have a favorite travel essential kit?

Me encantan los paquetes de belleza son tan convenientes para en el camino. Y cuando son elaboradas con los productos adecuados y esquema de color es aún mejor. Benefit siempre trae unas muy buena en el pasado y estoy obsesionada con ellos por decir lo menos. El último de ellos es en realidad una colaboración con Matthew Williamson y los colores son realmente hermosos! Esto es perfecto para cualquier chica que le gusta el aspecto dorado y también le gusta jugosos labios rojos! El rojo es como un brillo, pero es tan sexy! Realmente le da ese tipo de mirada enrojecida. También me encanta el marcador/rubor, todo el equipo es realmente hermosa y vale la pena para viajar. También es un lindo regalo, revisé sephora en línea para asegurarme de que todavía lo tienen y note que esta a la venta por $24 lo compré por 34 $. ¿Tienes un kit esencial favorito de viaje?

Fashion Post: Fall Edition/ Edicion De Otoño

This post might make some of you sad, to think that Summer is almost over... But for me I couldn't be more happy. I mean don't get me wrong I enjoy the summer but I cant stand the heat sometimes. Nothing feels worst then getting all dressed up and then stepping out to an oven. I start to get all sweaty and uncomfortable and all I want to do is run back home and chill in my house under the AC. The Fall is so much different I love getting dress and going out for walks and be comfortable, not too cold or too hot. I wanted to share with you some of my favorite fall fashion for day and night. This year I'm in the hunt for chunky sweater, leather jackets and pants, and lots of boots! What's your fall favorites? 

Good Luck! Xxx
