September 2012 Glossy Box

I finally signed up to get the Glossybox when they were having their promotion of buy 3 months and get one free. They sent me two boxes worth of items this month, the September box and the July box. This might be the free box that they were talking about. I thought they would be sending me recent boxes but I guess the free part meant they were trying to get rid of their past boxes instead? All in all, I really like the box and i got a Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream which is a big plus.

Dior Diorshow Mascara

I have tried the Dior Diorshow Mascara which did not meet my expectations. I thought this mascara would be a lot better than most other ones that I have tried, but it smeared all over my bottom lashes and made my panda eyes even more noticeable. This mascara started working a lot better when it started drying up and the formula was less runny which I preferred. All in all, this is a decent product but not worth the $25 dollar price tag that comes with it.

Rating: 3/5

First w/ Smashbox

I have recently been trying out Smashbox from my Sephora purchase online because I heard a lot of good reviews about them but I was not impressed with their quality or staying power. The Jet Set Waterproof Eye Liner in Vamp ($10) was not waterproof and smudged a bit over my oily eyelids. The color was very pretty though and it was the perfect shade and the shimmer was not very noticeable. The other product I also tried from this brand would be the HD Concealer in med beige ($20). I use concealers mainly for dark circles and this did not hide them one bit. The formula was overly liquidy and did not have any staying power.
