Beauty Nopes! PS... Volume Boost Mascara

A while ago I posted on Snap Chat a haul from the new Primark in KOP and I have been slowly but surely trying each and every product I purchased. Primark is an Irish retailer operating all over the world. The first one I had ever visited was one in London while I was studying abroad. It was like Target and Walmart had a baby that only sold store brand items. The one that opened up near me is not as big as the ones I have been in previously, but it still is a pretty big store in the King of Prussia Mall. I was surprised to see so many beauty items and the prices there are to die for!

This mascara was less than a dollar so my expectations were not very high to say the least, however after using their lip liners and fake nails, I thought I hit a gold mine. Not so much. Using this mascara I could quickly tell the formula was not at all creating volume or boosting my lashes at all. What I do like about it is the dark black color and the wand. The packaging is pretty cute too. Where it all went wrong was a few days ago, when trying out a new foundation, I used this mascara as I always do to darken my lashes under false lashes. The mistake I made was coating my bottom lashes, which again the wand was great for, but within 4 hours that mascara was crusting off all over my concealer. It looked like Friday the 13th hit me hard.

That right there is an automatic fail in my book and honestly no harm no foul since it only cost me $.90. There are plenty of great mascaras out there that this one is just another one in the dust.

As a reminder, I am keeping up with this mini series on here to save you from product performance. If these products are your favorites and work for you, then I'm glad they do! This is just my opinion and thanks so much for reading!

March Madness Challenge

I decided I need to make changes in my life. After reading a lot of blogs and spending hours on YouTube, I learned in order to look and feel healthier there is one thing holding me back. This thing I reach for instantly when I wake up. I consume it every day with almost every meal, and in some instances it is the only thing I drink all day. It is my perfect snack. Something I've never left a Wawa without. This crutch that I have given myself over the years is Coca-Cola. I live and breathe the white wave on the front of every bottle. I love the polar bears and own the plush versions of them in two out of the three sizes. I collect Mycokerewards from roommates, friends, family and coworkers. I can rattle off random information about the soda and the company as a whole. My dream kitchen has a retro feel with Coca-Cola accents. And the Coca-Cola Santa is the real Santa. I am an addict. I am addicted to the carbonation tickling my tongue and giving me the everlasting joy I seek in a

Where I've been for 2.5 years

Hey there! I’d like to reintroduce myself, I’m Krystal and welcome to my blog! I am now 28 and still living in the West Chester area with my boyfriend and fur babies (we’ve added another kitty, Callie, to the family since my last post J ). I’m totally still obsessed with binge watching TV shows and keeping my positivity up when I can. Writing has been such a huge part of my life since high school. It was my creative outlet until college where I felt put in a box without being able to speak my truth through each key stroke. So it seemed I needed a purpose for every perfectly structured sentence and I found that I couldn’t perform creatively under those circumstances. I needed an unrefined and unrestricted flow and this is where I found myself. At first, I started blogging to share my wellness journey that I didn’t even realize at the time was the beginning. I wanted to challenge myself to stop drinking Coke and I did it. I shared how drinking more water and no soda started cha

New Years Resolution for 2016

A new year entitles us all to a new beginning. As the year ends, most people like to set new goals and aspirations to make the next year better than the one before and to improve themselves. Last year, I challenged myself to stop drinking soda, something that I am absolutely in love with. Those 30 days were such a struggle and I gained so much support in the process. I have gone back to drinking soda only because the other drinks I replaced it with had just as much sugar, if not more. Now, I honestly drink a lot less. In one night Nick and I could finish off a 12 pack and still need more, whereas now the same amount can last us weeks. I am proud of myself for the progress I’ve made with soda in less than a year. Although I believe I could be healthier, I have decided to take this year to not focus on my appearance. This might sound crazy coming from someone who blogs about using makeup and posts selfies at least once a week, but I like to look at makeup as clothing. I have cloth
