When I first tried the Maybelline the Colossal Volum’ Express Mascara I did not like it.  I applied it to my lashes a few times over a few weeks and began to love it.  I usually use Maybelline Volum’ Express the Falsies but now I used both the Colossal and the Falsies switching it up.  I noticed I tend to use the Colossal one more now and will probably purchase it over the falsies next time I am in need of a mascara.

Maybelline the Colossal Volum’ Express Mascara really separates my lashes and makes them look a lot longer.  The mascara also gives my lashes a lot of volume just like it claims to do.   The brush is very big, soft and full which helps separate your lashes and give them volume.  I think that the formula gives you a more natural look than a false look which I like.

I’ve had no problems with clumping or smudging.  Even after applying several coats I still have no clumps.  I really like the formula and it is currently my go to mascara.

I haven’t tried the waterproof version but seeing as summer is just around the corner I might pick it up next time I’m at the store and try it out.  Have you tried the waterproof formula? What do you think?

Maybelline’s Color Show Tenacious Teal #330 is a stunning colour.  It is a dark teal colour that is very opaque.  I applied two coats and my usual top coat and it looked perfect.  The formula is better than the first polish I tried from their new line which was Fuchsia Fever.  I thought that the Tenacious Teal nail polish held up well to wear and tear and I was pretty impressed with it. 

Like I said before a downsize to the Maybelline’s Color Show nail polish is that the bottles are smaller than usual.  They are only .23 fl. oz. but they are a good price.

I think that Maybelline’s Color Show Tenacious Teal could be worn all year round but I will most likely wear it during the summer months.

This is the number one question that grillers have—how to make the perfect grilled steak. Well, practice makes perfect. You will probably have your share of duds before you reach the pinnacle of perfection. But, that doesn’t mean you have to start with inferior products.

Like I said, practice makes perfect. To grill the best steak you’ve ever tasted, you need to use that grill more than a couple of times each year. So, stock that freezer with the best cuts of beef for the job and let’s get down to brass tacks.

The first thing is to choose your meat. I won’t lie to you—beef is expensive. Those thick steaks you see on the commercials will cost a pretty penny, but, not to worry. You can find what you need at a butcher shop or the meat section of your favorite grocery store. Read the rest of this entry »

Maybelline Color Show Nail Lacquer Fuchsia Fever #300 is a bright fuchsia purple colour.  It is a beautiful colour for summer and I will be wearing it all the time. 

Fuchsia Fever is the first nail polish I tried from Maybelline’s never color show nail polish line.  The formula glides on nicely and looks good with two coats.  I did notice that when I went into the sun that I should have applied three coats. I recommend applying a top coat as well because Fuchsia Fever drys matte.  Something I noticed that the bottles are a little smaller than usual and are only .23 fl. oz.  But they were cheap so I guess that makes up for the difference.

The colours from Maybelline’s Color Show line are absolutely stunning and bright.  Perfect for summer! I’m so excited to try the other colours that I purchased.

I’m going to begin by telling you straight up to never buy anything from AllDesignerGlasses.com unless you know exactly what you want, you are not in a hurry and you do not need any assistance..

I required glasses and finally bit the bullet and decided to purchase some.  I had my eyes tested at Costco for a great price, only $59.  I found a pair of glasses I liked but of course me being cheap tried to find them online at a discount.  The pair I wanted were $250 in Canada in the store and I found them online for $112.  I got super excited and decided to purchase them.  I couldn’t find any creditable reviews online about any of the places that stocked them but decided to purchase them anyways.

I ended up choosing to buy them at AllDesignerGlasses.com.  They were $112 and with free shipping to the USA.  My boyfriend lives in the states so I figured I’d send them to his house.  I placed the order and waited for it to be shipped.  All I was purchasing was frames, I was not getting my lenses through them.  Their website states 1-3 days processing time.  My order was not shipped till the fifth day.  I tried calling them on the third day several times but there was no answer. I also emailed them several times and received no responses.  They say that they have a ticket system for emails but I never once received an answer to any emails I sent to them during my whole buying process.
