LashFood Conditioning Liquid Eyeliner Review

» No Comments
Posted on December 20th, 2009, in Beauty & Cosmetics |


LashFood Conditioning Liquid Eyeliner Review One of the cosmetic products that I cannot live without is black eyeliner. I used to loathe the stuff back in my natural phase where I hated all makeup (weird to imagine, huh?) but a friend forced me to try it and I was instantly hooked. That was years ago and black eyeliner is now my absolute must have product. Both the pencil and liquid forms have their purpose and I think that everyone should own both. When I was offered a chance to give LashFood Conditioning Liquid Eyeliner by a representative of the company, I had to take it. I’ve always been curious about their products and have heard mixed reviews, so I wanted to give it a try myself.

LashFood Conditioning Liquid Eyeliner promises to stimulate your lashes and help produce fuller, longer and stronger lashes in 2 to 4 weeks with daily use. When I first used the product, I loved how it applied. The brush allows you to apply a clean line that is as thin or as full as you would like. The color is a rich black, which is just what I like from liquid liners. However, I have mixed feelings about the overall wear of the product. I added it to my staple makeup routine for several days. Some days the liner wore perfectly all day, others it flaked off shortly after application. I tried applying it in one steady stroke as well as in several short strokes to see if my application made a difference. It didn’t seem to have an effect on the wear of the product. Since I used the exact same other eye makeup on all the days, I’m not really sure what caused these results. I did notice that my lashes do seem a little bit fuller after using the product, but since I had such inconsistent results from the liquid eyeliner I’m not sure if it’s a product I would purchase later on.

Have you tried LashFood Conditioning Liquid Eyeliner? What were your results? I know that I have read a lot of rave reviews about other LashFood products (as well as the LashFood Conditioning Liquid Eyeliner) and am curious as to what readers have to say.

Editor’s Note: The product(s) featured in this post were provided by a representative of the company named in this post for editorial consideration. Please note that all reviews are 100% honest and a product would not receive a favorable review unless it provided favorable results.

Things I Love Right Now

» 2 Comments
Posted on December 20th, 2009, in Weekly Obsessions |


Things I Love Right Now

Recently some of my favorite bloggers (Katy, Marsadie, and Janine) have all posted entries of things they love right now. I’m always curious about what others are into. It’s a great way to get introduced to new items or to be reminded of something you have laying around in your closet/jewelry box/makeup bag. So, here’s my Things I Love Right Now.

  • Estee Lauder Turbo Effects Mascara : I recently had to hit up an Estee Lauder counter for an in depth consultation with one of their Beauty Advisors for my Glambassador gig with Glamour magazine. Prior to this, I had never tried a single Estee Lauder product. Not only did I receive a lot of great products to try (both full size and samples) from Glamour and Estee Lauder, but I picked up this mascara. I have lots of long but fine lashes, and this mascara gives me the volume I want while still looking natural. A bit pricey for a mascara, but I have to say it’s the best I’ve ever used.
  • Slouchy Knit Beanies : I have this exact one from Forever 21 and have been wearing it every chance I get. I’m extremely picky when it comes to hats, so I was surprised that I loved this one so much. I tried it on a few weeks ago, then went back 2 weeks later to see if it was still there. I suppose it must have been fate because it was still there, and we all know how rare that is with Forever21.
  • Cheap Sunnies : My all time favorite pair of sunglasses recently broke, and this pair is their replacement. I’m a sucker for aviator style sunnies and I love cheap sunglasses in general. I just don’t see the point in dropping more than $10 on a pair that I am going to throw around in the mess I call my purse. Plus, they allow you to try out any trend, color, or style without feeling guilty.
  • SoftLips Sugar & Spice Lip Balm : I love seasonal beauty items, and this lip balm set is no exception. In high school I was addicted to this stuff and have become addicted again. This set contains a tube of the classic Vanilla SoftLips as well as a tube of Sugar & Spice, which smells just like a Chai latte. Too yummy to resist.
  • Luna & Larry’s Coconut Bliss : I don’t eat dairy, but I do have to say that a lot of the non-dairy deserts don’t taste the greatest. I love Tofutti products, but most other brands I try usually end up in the trash before I hit the bottom of the container or end up being smothered in Hershey’s chocolate syrup to make them tolerable. This coconut milk based desert is delicious. I prefer the Cappuccino flavor because coffee ice cream is one of the things I’ve missed most since I cut out dairy.
  • NARS Lip Gloss in Orgasm : My tried and true all time favorite gloss. This shade is incredibly flattering and is the perfect go-to gloss for everyone. Some people find the price ridiculous but, trust me on this, it’s worth it! The tube will last you forever.
  • Steve Madden Intyce Boots : Okay, so I actually have the Target version of these boots (which were only $30 compared to $170), but I love them just the same. Good boots that are both stylish and functional are really hard to find, but these are a great mix.

What are some of your current favorite items?
