Covergirl 'Flamed Out' Mascara Review

So I was in Shopper's Drugmart a few months ago looking for new tweezers since I'd lost mine, and I found myself in the make up aisle (big surprise). Of course, me being myself, I walking out with a few beauty items, my favourite being Covergirl's new 'Flamed Out' mascara. I am literally in love with this mascara. In my personal opinion, it's better than Maybelline 'Falsies', and that's saying something. Here is a  picture of it, in case you haven't seen it yet.

I also thought I'd add pictures of the brush, so here it is:

I actually really like the design, I think it's really pretty! I would've expected it to be more edgy, considering it's called Flamed Out ad Pink is the spokesperson for it, but it's still pretty. I thought I'd add some pictures of how it actually looks on because whenever I read a review, I always think it's more effective if you can see the proof of how good the product is. The only make up I have on in these pictures is foundation and concealer. There is no other eye, face, or lip makeup on my face, so please ignore my ugly face and concentrate on my lashes!

Here is my ugly face with only foundation and concealer on.

Here is a creepy picture of my eyelashes without mascara on them

And another even creepier one.

I've applied the Flamed Out mascara to my right eye (the camera on my phone flips the image) and my left eye is bare. Look at that difference!

And here it is on both eyes.

NOW ONTO PROS AND CONS. YAY.

Pros
-give lots of length
-voluminous, as promised.
-only need one coat
-looks natural
-the shape of the brush makes the outer eyelashes bigger, making your eyelashes look super long
-brush grabs every lash
-lasts all day (no raccoon eyes)
-easy to wash off

Cons
-starts too look unnatural after more than one coat
-not waterproof

Tips and Comments
If you prefer clumpy lashes opposed to natural looking lashes, I would not recommend this product for you. I would recommend Maybelline Falsies. When you have a natural looking lash like this, I wouldn't recommend you go really heavy on the eyeliner, I think a thin liner close to the lash line would look really nice and natural. If you are going for the more bold look, again I would recommend Maybelline Falsies and doing a thick (not too thick) liner. Again, if you are going for a clumpy look, do not go for this mascara! More than one coat just ends up looking messy, not clumpy. Also, the applicator is bristle, not plastic, so if you dont like bristle applicators, then don't go for this mascara, but if you do, get this now!

I hope you found my review helpful! If you have any questions don't hesitate to comment below with it and I'll try my best to answer them. Thank you for reading!

Tangle Teezer/ Tangle Fix Review

So I think I'm a bit late on the bandwagon for this but I thought I might as well put my two cents out there anyways. I was in Fortinos because I needed body wash, and me being myself, I had to go look at every other beauty product in the store. I swear, every single time I go to the supermarket I end up walking out with some form of a beauty product. This time I walked out with Goody's knock off of the Tangle Teezer hair brush, the Tangle Fix.  It's is exactly the same as the Tangle Teezer, but it's just a different brand.

Here are some pictures of the one that I picked up:

I'd heard tons of people rave about it on YouTube and other blogs, so it thought I might as well try it out. At first I was kind of hesitant because it looks scary, I mean look at how close those teeth are! I wasn't sure how well it was going to cope with my naturally curly hair, but I'll tell you right now that it works wonders. Lets go through some pros and cons, shall we?

Pros

-it is affordable, I got mine for 12 Canadian dollars including taxes. 

-it's really gentle on you hair. It doesn't get stuck in you hair or anything like that. It moves with your hair in a sense because the teeth are flexible. 

-I've noticed that the amount of hair that falls out when I brush my hair has reduced drastically (I used to use a paddle brush)

-works on all hair types

-It comes in different fun colours and patterns

-It is SUPER easy to clean. You can honestly just pick off the hair by hand, it's that easy.

-safe to use on wet hair

Cons

-you cannot use it with a blow dryer, the teeth will melt. 

Tips and Comments

I am not 100% sure how long these brushes last, but I would assume it has a long life span because the bristles are flexible and won't kink like they sometimes do in paddle brushes. If you have straight hair, I don't think it would make a huge difference on your hair, but it will definitely help a lot with tangles. If you have thick hair, a lot of hair, or super curly hair/an afro, I would suggest that you section you hair off to improve efficiency and effectiveness. Iwould also   suggest keeping a paddle brush around if you blow dry your hair on a regular basis.
