Full Lash Bloom

I recently received Covergirl's Full Lash Bloom by LashBlast Mascara (what a mouthful that was!) in very black. And by recently, I mean a few weeks ago.  Anyhow, Covergirl promises "touchably soft full lashes, a flake-resistant formula, and full separated volume." It also boasts being ophthalmologically test and suitable for contact lens wearers. 

Covergirl offered us a choice among four mascaras, including LashBlast Volume, LashBlast Fusion, Clump Crusher by LashBlast and my pick, Full Lash Bloom. I chose this one because hey, pink is pretty! But really, who likes crunchy lashes? I know I don't. My only gripe so far is that it's not waterproof. Otherwise, it's a decent drugstore mascara. Stay tuned for more in-depth review as I take it out for a few more spins.

Goodbye Roots and Grays with Clairol's Root Touch-Up

It's no secret that I love experimenting with hair colour. Aside from going to the salon to have it done, I'm a huge DIY-er. I've used boxed hair colour and made my own "kits" with salon products. I've bleached my own hair (with varying results lol). Now, let me introduce Clairol's Nice 'N Easy Root Touch-Up kit.

I swear, this has got to be the cutest little thing ever. Included in each box are a brush, a mixing cup, colour creme and developer. The difference lies in the size, everything are minis! I really appreciate this as sometimes, when you're just doing your roots and not actually changing your hair colour or doing your whole head, the regular boxes have too much product. As with every kit, it also comes with an instruction leaflet and gloves.

The cute brush is actually pretty good quality. The bristles are nice, they're stiff with enough give. I found it fairly easy to apply the right amount for roots. There's also enough product to cover roots, unless you have something like six inch roots. You'd need a regular box of Clairol Nice 'N Easy for that. You only need 10 minutes of development time. I found that I spent more time applying than waiting! Another huge plus for me. It covered my roots and my pesky greys well. Yup, I'm only in my 20's but I have a ton of greys.

I chose Light Golden Brown. It goes with the 6G and 6.5G colours across Clairol's family of boxed hair colour, and I'm sure it's comparable with many, many other brands' colours. Clairol says it seamlessly matches salon colour as well. With this handy dandy kit, you'd be able to extend time between salon visits too, if that's your cuppa tea.
