BzzAgent Campaign - Covergirl Lashblast Fusion Mascara

The fiberstretch formula and oversized brush make every little lash bigger, fuller, longer-looking, and more dramatic.* Also available in Water Resistant!

I received this mascara from BzzAgent to review, and I tried it right away (of course) - here are my immediate results (with a lash curler)  only on top lashes
This mascara is supposed to lengthen and add volume, I find it does length better than volume. The wand is HUGE, which makes it a little bit difficult to use, but it's very smooth and not clumpy at all. The formula is a little bit on the drier side, but that just makes the application easier in my opinion. 
I think this would be a great every-day mascara, it's nothing breathtaking or revolutionary but for a drugstore mascara ($8.99), it works great! 

My suggestions to making it work are- 
-Use an eyelash curler if your lashes are short like mine. It does wonders! 
-Wait until your first coat dries before applying another one. Trust me. 
-Because the wand is so big, be careful with the swipes so you don't poke your eye. 

I would recommend this if you need an average, every day mascara that is affordable. 
Thank you BzzAgent for this opportunity!

Mall Haul!


I picked up a Nisim Shampoo, three mini Bath and Body Works lotions, It's a 10 hair mask and miracle leave-in product, Sephora eyeshadow and liner for my mom for her birthday, bareMinerals Bareskin foundation, and Katy Perry perfumes in Meow and Purr. 

I can't wait to try everything!

ColourPop Highlighter Swatches


Light cool-toned gold with luminous flashes of pink, silver and gold. They’ll want an encore when you put this on.
Soft light gold with a reflective golden duo chrome finish – lunch $$ well spent.
Road Trip (limited edition)
We dunno about the smoke but you’ll definitely get some whistles in this cool-toned pink champagne with silver highlights.
Stole The Show, Lunch Money, Road Trip, Smokin' Whistles
I absolutely fricken' LOVE these highlighters. They give you such a nice glowy look.

Stole The Show came off very cool-toned on me despite it being gold. It is very flashy and I would only wear it with a dramatic, non-shimmery eye. 

Lunch Money I bought because of Kathleen Lights. It is very light and subtle on my skin tone, I have accidentally overdone it with this highlight because I couldn't see it on myself. It is perfect for a nice, subtle glow on your cheekbone. 

Road Trip was limited edition and unfortunately not available anymore. It is very glittery, to the point where it will have little glitter fallouts. It would look good when you're going out at night where the sun won't catch it as much. 

Smoke N Whistles (or Smokin' Whistles?) is my FAVOURITE. This highlight comes off as a sheen more so than a glitter and it just looks glamorous and gives the "wet" highlight look. Ugh. I love it so much. 

I wish I had more to try, but I'm hesitant because my skin is so light that I don't want it to look unnatural or weird. I will try more in the future though, because I LOVE THEM. 

BH Cosmetics Wild Child Eyeshadow Palette Swatches

Build lustrous and exotic eye looks with this palette of nine totally gorgeous, baked eyeshadows. Whether you want to go neutral, bold or add a pop of color--you're sure to find a shade to fit your mood. Featuring highly-pigmented, wet-to-dry shadows with a lightweight feel that delivers fierce color impact to satisfy your desire to be absolutely wild! 

I swatched these shadows dry and they went on pretty well. Some colours I had to go over a few times (the dark purple) but overall it was just easy to apply. Despite it being a neutral palette it could be used for more "bold" looks because of the shimmer and the range of colours. It is definitely an affordable eyeshadow palette and if you prefer palettes with more colour variety they do have two other palettes exactly like this- Wild & Free and Wild at Heart

Bite Beauty Watercolor Lipgloss Library Swatches

A delicate palette of ethereal shades inspired by the beauty of watercolor. A range composed of twelve soft shades for a beautiful translucent wash of color and alluring shine. Each sheer gloss provides hydrating properties that will leave your lips lush and supple. BITE Beauty is created with natural and food-grade ingredients for beauty that's better for you. BITE Beauty lip products do not contain parabens, sulfates, petrochemicals, phthalates and are certified gluten-free.


I got this set around my birthday (June) and I don't completely know why, considering I never use lipgloss (all about that matte lip) and I've never used anything by Bite Beauty. 

My review would not be useful as I have never owned or used a high end lipgloss so I wouldn't know how to compare them. Some of the colours are sheer- obviously inspired by watercolor's, which are sheer. (Duh. I don't get some of the bad reviews.)
I think this set is ON POINT with the packaging, the theme and the colour variety. I will probably never need to buy another lipgloss because this carries every colour I would need. I am kind of bitter that I bought it at full price and it went down about half the price, because I'm not sure that it was worth the money entirely. 

I am happy with this set, I understand the colours are sheer (however some are actually very opaque and could even be worn alone i.e Twelve)
