FEEL: Palmer's cocoa butter body butter, review, sort of.

So you know when they say as you grow older your skin starts to get rough and loses its elasticity and extensive exposure to sunlight causes wrinkles, I don’t want that to happen, it will, but I’ll prevent these wrinkles and coarse skin for as long as I can.

I don’t know what it is for me personally but lately my skin is super soft, I’m talking softer than a baby’s bottom.

I was talking to a friend of mine about this and because I‘ve been running everyday now she says it’s something to do with your pores opening up and that’s why my skin is getting softer, but I don’t think that’s the reason, I think it’s because of one of my beauty products.

Palmer’s cocoa butter formula with vitamin E Cocoa body butter ultra moisturizing cream (long name I KNOW!)

To be honest with you I’m not a big fan of the smell you would think ooo chocolate who doesn’t love chocolate, but for me it’s too strong.

I was given this as a gift and because of my Look at all this stuff blog I don’t want to be spending more money on more beauty products that I already have especially moisturizers so I’m forcing myself to use this one.

But don’t get me wrong this is the reason why my skin is so soft right now. After my shower time, especially it being so cold at nights right now my skin gets really dry after I take a shower because the water is warm bordering on hot, so to prevent my skin drying out from that, I moisturize like a maniac.

Like I said smell, gross. But benefits towards your skin, A – MAZING!

As this body butter was designed for skin re hydration, it does just that, my skin has never felt this silky smooth before and I love my sorbolene cream so it’s a big thing for me to say that about this product.

Oh and when it says it melts into your skin, you can bet that your skin will feel super soft the next morning.

I just realised how difficult it was to say the title out loud, sort of.

SEE: Modelco Lash Fibre mascara review

Alright so I recently got my hands on another mascara, I’m sorry I can’t help it to be honest I think of it as an investment for my blog so whenever I buy something I can blog about it, I’m showing you guys some love from me to you.

For IMATS last year there was this whole craze about longer lashes with no mascara, the secret? Fibres. I just remember being like I really want longer lashes I want to try this fibre lash thing out but my friend stopped me because she thought it was lame and I was just like there’s nothing lame about wanting longer lashes.

Modelco lash fibre mascara

Modelco has a mascara called Fibre Lash and to be honest with you all I was extremely excited to try this product out (being a mascara lover and all).

Unfortunately it’s not as great as I anticipated it to be. When you think wow adding fibres to your lashes they must look extra long and flirty and fluttery looking, that sort of kind of didn’t happen.

Now don’t get me wrong it’s a great mascara but when I got it, I expected AMAZING STAND OUT lashes and it was kind of almost there but not really and to be truthful my Maybelline Falsies mascara works a lot better and application heaps quicker especially when you’re in a rush.

But because I believe in giving every makeup product out there a chance, If you do decide to purchase this particular mascara just don’t expect it to have that WOW factor.

So application is really easy but can be a bit of a pain because I’m so paranoid about having my mascara open for too long with the air getting in and drying up the mascara quicker I literally close it everytime I have to switch to apply the fibres.

So to give you an insight on how to apply this,

Extension macara in black

Step 1: Apply the extension mascara FIRST, don’t chuck a me and not read the instructions. I put the fibres on first and DUH where would you expect it to go but in your eyeball because it has nothing to stick to.

Step 2: Apply the lash fibres to the mascara already on

Step 3: Re apply that extension mascara to the lash fibres and you’re done.

Lash fibres

You might think it’s that simple and yeah it is, it’s just if you’re anything like me and being paranoid about mascara drying out, I closed the lid on that mascara everytime I had to swap it around to use the lash fibres and then back to the extension mascara.

Props for a makeup product that’s compact and versatile but for me personally, it gets annoying when you’re in a rush.

A tip for all you mascara lovers out there

I love being the makeup guru around my group of friends, they ask me the funniest questions and do the funniest things when it comes to makeup.

This post is dedicated to my good friend who is a makeup purist you could say, so no makeup worn hardly ever, only on super super special occasions and of course when she lets me practice makeup looks on her.

I love mascara, one of my favourite makeup products out there and I could never understand why some girls wouldn’t wear JUST mascara because to me sometimes that’s just all you need. So I put on mascara for my friend whilst I was doing a makeup look and she told me she doesn’t like wearing mascara and to that I replied, WHY????? and WHAT??? She said that she didn’t like taking it off because it was such a chore and it got everywhere and left black marks around her eyes and I laughed because it was so cute and funny.

So here’s how I take off my mascara and if you’re anything like my friend try it this way.

• Take a makeup removal cotton pad and put your eye makeup remover on it.
• If you have eye shadow on wipe from the inner corner out and then when you get to your lashes, eyes closed and roll downwards on your lashes, this helps to break the seal of the mascara and it won’t go everywhere.

Hope this helps makeup purists everywhere and if you didn’t know, well there you go. That’s another way to do it.


Another quick tip: Sometimes your eye makeup remover can substitute for lipstick removal too.

Dear diary: Bad hair day? Try a bad hair weekend

Okay here we go…

Over the weekend I decided to chop off my long straight hair to what you would call a sort of bob styled hair cut, I suppose.

Silly me because my normal hairdresser was really busy, he couldn’t cut it for me so I decided to go somewhere else because I was desperate for that hair cut. It SUCKS! By the way if you were wondering.

Not going to lie, it’s not the worst hair cut I’ve ever had but sort of kind of not really what I wanted. The way he cut my bangs, it was just too short for my liking, the front part, lovely, really nice, I liked it and the back, weirdest styled hair cut of my life. Not the worst but the most, I’m trying not to be mean so let’s just say one of the most inventive haircuts I’ve had, in a weird kind of way.

I went home and styled it the way I wanted, wavy, some parts straight and it did look nice, it actually made me look a lot mature and professional looking especially because I was wearing a navy blue jumpsuit with a blazer on. So I thought okay well if it looks nice kind of wavy in some parts I’m going to go get a perm then because my hair just cannot take curls, they just end up falling flat as soon as it’s done.

Soooooooooooo I went to get my perm, a wavy perm, costed me $100, sat there for 3 hours, 2 days later one side of my hair is curlier than the other. OH MY GOSH! Seriously can this bad hair weekend get any worse? The perm itself wasn’t too disappointing well that would be a lie, I actually regret getting a perm and I think it was just because of the initial hair cut I wasn’t happy and I seriously thought perming it would be a quick fix solution.

Lesson learnt: perms do not suit me and I’m going back to my initial thinking of when I go get m hair cut don’t expect it to look good.

Hope you all had a great weekend unlike me.

Talk about a hairy situation. Literally.
