A Sneak Peek at Dior 360 mascara

I may or may not be too late to talk about the launch of the new mascara by Dior, called 360. I just recently found out about it. And had to share some info about it!


You can buy it online at Sephora for $36USD.


This mascara promise volume, curl and length. With its revolving brush with a helicoid shape, it is suppose to reproduce the most advanced techniques of professional makeup artists. It's formula contains micro waxes which coat, lengthen and sculpt the lashes. It is not waterproof but is suppose to set for hours on end.  


If you'd like to see how the brush spins and what someone thinks of it first hand,check out ScienceBeautiful.














I personally cannot waito try it out. However review I have read, have not been good. I think it maybe a spinoff of Lancome's Oscillation mascara.
Have you tried this mascara?! I'd love to know what you thought, if not, would you try it??

ProduCt.ReViEw. -Dior DiorShow Maximizer Lash Plumping Serum


Dior DiorShow Maximizer Lash Plumping Serum 


"What it does:
The newest addition to the family of legendary Diorshow Mascaras, Diorshow Maximizer Lash Primer Serum instantly primes, plumps, and lengthens lashes with an ultra-light and quick-drying formula. The first "active serum" mascara primer also contains a unique cell-conditioning complex made up of hydrolyzed soy proteins that promote long-term lash growth, strength, and vitality.
What else you need to know:
"Diorshow Maximizer is this season's most innovative, must-have product. Apply as a primer serum base under mascara for intensely curled, thickened, and lengthened lashes and also on its own as a deep conditioner for lashes at night." -Sephora Pro Beauty Team Member, Nathalie Bechard
Research Results:
The Dior Innovation Center has tested Diorshow Maximizer for efficiency and found amazing results after only 8 weeks use: + 52% Volume, +38% Length, + 73% Curl
Studies also showed that lashes were more resilient, protected, and revitalized." Sephora

Water, paraffin, C18-36 acid triglyceride, carnauba wax, bis-diglyceryl polyacyladipate-2, palmitic acid, stearic acid, triethanolamine, beeswax, acacia Senegal gum, hydroxyethycellulose, phenoxyethanol, tocopheryl acetate, sodium hyaluronate, artemia extract, hydrolyzed soy protein, pentylene glycol, potassium sorbate, BHT


 


I really noticed a difference with this primer under my mascara as appose to without it. 
I found my lashes were 'healthier' and stronger after using this for only a few times.
Contains alternia: an alga which helps to boosthe effects of other anti aging ingredients, it protects DNA from UV rays and free radicals.   

Contains triethanolamine, which is considered a moderate hazard ingredient by the Cosmetics Database, which should cause concern. It can produce sense organ effects at very low doses when used around the eyes. Also there are some potentially harmful preservatives such as BHT and phenoxyethanol.  

This has to be the only lash primer that I have ever liked. As an avid false lash user, it was hard to steer me away from my lashes, even justo try it. After I tried it, I didn'regret it. Don't get me wrong though, I will not be leaving my false lashes anytime soon! However I did find thathe this primer did an awesome job of making my lashes look like they were falsies! I would recommend this primer to anyone wanting a longer and fuller lashes.

For a while now I have been curious about these products, but never got around to buying them. However the other day they were all on sale for $4.99CDN each so I jumped on the opportunity. The products were all from Maybelline: Dream liquid mousse foundation in Medium 2.5 Natural beige(sorry I know the pic says 3.5!!! but it's 2.5), Lash Stiletto voluptuous mascara in 981 very black waterproof and Line Stiletto Ultimate Precise liquid eyeliner in 501 Blackest black. I wore all of them today and and quite impressed so far. The mascara reminds me of Lancome's Hypnose Drama mascara and the liner like Lancome's Artliner. Reviews will definitely be coming soon. HAVE ANY OF YOU TRIED THESE? WHAT DID YOU THINK OF THEM?

I love wearing summer dresses and when I saw this one I fell in love! I didn't care that I couldn't try it on. It is very "asian" style with the little lacy slip underneath. I bought it at the night market here in Vancouver for only $20CDN! What a steal! What do you think of this dress? cute? Oh btw, for those who care to know necklace is from Forever 21, bought it there last year in the Hollywood Boulevard location.
