A quick purple FOTD =)

I just wanted to share my makeup look yesterday during the Go Association event :)


PRODUCTS USED:

FACE
- Hada Labo BB Whitening Cream #1 + Etude House Precious Mineral BB Cream #2 (50-50)
- The Body Shop Shimmer Waves in 02 Rose

EYES
- MakeUp Forever Star Powder in 927 (all over lid)
- The Body Shop Eyebrow Powder (both for eyebrows and light brown for crease)

LIPS 
- Lancome lipstick in 284 


*If you're interested to read my review on the individual products I've used in this FOTD, I included some links on those that I have reviewed already so just click away :)


Disclaimer: As you might have noticed, even though I am now going for cruelty free products, I am still using my previously bought makeup from brands that do test on animals (like Lancome and Etude House). It would be a waste of money if I throw them away or don't use them so I am trying my best to use them all up lately so I can clear my makeup collection sooner. However, I did stop purchasing from these brands last year and will continue to stay away from brands that do animal testing.

Review: Yves Rocher Mascara - Extra Volume

Happy Monday! How's everyone's weekend? I hope all of you had a great time! I really enjoyed the cold weather these past week especially in the early morning wherein you really can feel the bit of the cold air. I really really like for this kind of weather to be permanent haha :)

Today, I'm gonna review the Extra Volume mascara of Yves Rocher. I got a sample size one as a gift from my bf's sister last year and it took me a long time before I tried using it because I was using up another mascara at the time. So, I have used this everyday for a while now and I am ready to share my thoughts.


 Made in France
Here's the wand:
SHADE: 01 Noir


YAY!!!

- Gives a very natural finish and nobody can tell I have mascara on my lashes. 
They are still flexible and it doesn't feel like I have mascara on so that's a plus. 

Here's a before and after shot of my lashes:





- Can be easily removed with eye makeup remover. I used cleansing oil.

- Volumizes very well but not over the top that it looks fake. Perfect for everyday use.



- Once you re-curled your lashes after applying the mascara, you can expect your curls to still be there even after 8 hours :)

- Doesn't clump.

- Doesn't smudge even if there's no "waterproof" written on the tube.

- Can be found on any mall that have Yves Rocher stores.


NAY!!!

- This weighs down the curls of your lashes once applied so you need to re-curl your lashes after the mascara dried.

- This is not a cruelty-free product.


OVER-ALL RATING: 4/5



I really liked this product! I just hope it is a hassle-free mascara though. When I am on a rush, I don't have time to re-curl my lashes and it won't look good that way. Also, I hope this is a cruelty-free band so I can repurchase when my sample is done.
