Annabelle Expandable Mascara Review

Call me Miss Mascara. Love it, NEED it, have to have it!! Nothing beats beautiful lashes to me so I was VERY excited Annabelle let me give this a try! 

This mascara isn't your average everyday mascara. It's more complex and offers a 2 in 1, pretty cool huh?

Annabelle Expandable Mascara features a unique polymer brush that changes with the turn of a dial:Expand the brush for maximum volume,retract it for length + definition. Volumizing, lengthening, anti-clumping, separation + defining lashes,fast drying and east to remove with Eye Makeup Remover Lotion. All the volume and length you crave in one mascara!

Dial all the way up

Dial all the way down.

I don't know if it's my horrible eyes or what but at first I couldn't see the brush changing in front of me lol. But clearly you can see the difference in the brushes after turning the dial up and down.

Okay on to the fun stuff....

How good does it actually work.

This formula applies really nicely, I thought it looked more wet but it's pretty dry which helps prevent clumping and holds my curl in my lashes.

The Results:

The Dial turned all the way up

No Mascara|One Coat|Two Coats

The dial Turned all the way down

No Mascara|One Coat|Two Coats

It's not a dramatic difference but I do think the second set of pictures looks more natural. I am sure if you layer on the coats you will achieve more of the mascara look that I adore.

PROS:
*Drys Quickly
*Holds Curl
*Adds Volume & Thickness
*Nice Packaging
*2 for 1 Product
*Brush isn't poky like some of the plastic type bristles out there
*No Clumps!
*No Flakes throughout the day-that is important!!


CONS:
*Might be a bit too dry of a formula for me


I actually didn't have anything negative that stood out to me with this mascara, I think it does add a nice amount of volume and with the 2 options it is nice to get either look you are looking for. I personally wouldn't use the more natural look since I love lashes and mascara but I do think this is a unique option in a mascara!

ASKholes.

Okay if you don't like my rants please look away!! I don't want to offend anyone but I find rants super amusing and I kind of think I can be good at writing these sometimes. But truly this is all in good fun and I hope you get my humour =)

This is my number ONE biggest pet peeve I can think of other then chewing  no wait inhailing your meal like you haven't eaten in days like a complete slob, that's just nasty lol.

I started writing a book once about ASKholes and I kinda forgot about it and recently I have re read it and I cracked myself up. I don't know if I should share that post or just go with what I am saying now,we'll decide at the end!

Ok so for those of you that don't know what an ASKhole is here is the definition: Somebody who you think possibly has some kind of smarts up there but we don't know for sure. They ask you for advice repeatedly and never ever EVER even consider actually taking it.It's just a vicious cycle. Effing annoying if you ask me.

Senario number uno. Very common.very generic.We probably all have at least one in our lives.

You have a friend who is in a horrible relationship. He does the typical things a shitty boyfriend would do. Cheat,lie,lie and oh lie some more. He is verbally abusive and maybe even a little physically abusive. You constantly spend hours on the phone consoling her because she's your friend right? You need to think of a plan and help her get out of this situation. She lives in your city or another province or state but you need to help her so you send her money to get her own place. You search for women's shelters to get her out of his unsafe place. You talk and talk and cry and listen to her hurting.. So this probably goes on and on and on. Lots of phone calls and lots of crying.

You don't hear from her for a while and she never returns your calls. She wanted help didn't she? She did need my shoulder to cry on didn't she? 

ASKHOLE.

I talk to her a month later and she's all lovey dovey with that asshole she's dating STILL.

round 2 happens then 3 then 4 then wow I can't even count the rest of them.

Years go by.

Same steps continue. Yep that is an Askhole.

I have quite a few ASKholes at my work and have some pretty funny stories that if anyone wants to hear these posts let me know! 

I am totally writing this all in good fun and if my friend even saw this (she has no clue about my blog) she would laugh and be like fuck yep im an ASKhole lol. I just like to try to be funny and make people laugh =)  It is my favorite thing to do!

Okay tell me your latest ASKhole rant!!! I'd love to hear it =)

ANNABELLE Biggy Zebra Bronzing Powder Review

Bronzer is such a hit and miss with me that I actually stopped trying to find the perfect one since I felt that was just a dream.You all know the orange or dirt looking kind oh to well and it can be so frustrating to find one that works for you. It has to be just right! I was stoked to get the chance to review Annabelle Biggy Zebra Bronzing Powder in Haute Gold.

Bigger Size!Get Sun-kissed radiant skin in seconds!The powder contains 3 perfectly coordinated shades and a soft texture in harmonious of bronze and gold to create a natural glow of summertime tan.All the glow you want without the damaging effects of the sun. Paraben Free, Fragrance free,Gluten Free.Hypo-allergenic and dermatologist tested.

Love the over size of this product, it's perfect for the bigger body brushes to blend down your neck and chest if you are looking for an even all over glow.

The colors blend perfectly together to create a beautiful bronzed look. Not only do you miss the muddy orange look but it awakens my white as snow like complexion without it being too harsh or too intense. This product is nicely blendable and brings a great glow to my skin.

There is a slight shimmer in this bronzer but it is fairly subtle. 

You can pile this up as well to make a more intense bronzer for contouring or just keep it simple for an extra glow.

I have been playing around with this product for the past couple weeks and I am very pleased to be able to recommend this as well as use it on a daily basis!
