finally a mascara worth rebuying | bite upswing mascara review

Published by

The dark, soul piercing stare broken only by the soft beating of luscious eye lashes – that natural wing from the perfect curl fanning out towards the tips of perfectly manicured eyebrows. Lashes captivate us. Mascara, not so much.  After being underwhelmed by mascara since the not-really-that great pink cover girl tube, I knew it was time to find a new love. Yet, tube after tube was thrown away in bitter disappointment. They clumped, the made your eyelashes fall out, they left panda circles under your eyes by 5pm, or they just didn’t really do anything at all. When Bite Beauty sent me one of their first types of Upswing full-volume mascara, I was skeptical to say the least. No doubt they are masters of lip scrubs, liners, glosses and lipsticks alike.

Babor beauty review

Published by

For all my beautiful gals, it’s been a while, so I wanted to give you guys an update on my latest beauty products review. In this episode, I’ll cover several products gifted from Babor and my experience using them. Babor sent me the most beautiful, custom package of goodies to suit my skincare needs several weeks back, but wanted to try them out for the long-haul before providing a review so I could give more helpful feedback after my skin has been adapted to the products after several uses. In the bag? Babor included their Enzyme Cleanser, A16 Booster, Illuminating Serum, Detox Vitamin Cream, and intense moisturizer and glow boosters. It’s a lot to cover, so in this review we’ll be going over a few of my favorites: the Illuminating Serum, Detox Vitamin cream, and Babor’s signature glass vials of beauty serums. photography:KRISTINA PETRICK | camera:CANNON 5D MARK III | products c/o:BABOR By order of use, let’s first cover Babor’s Hydra Plus Active Fluid and Glow Booster – two variant concentrates packaged in their signature, …
