12 Days of Christmas : My Christmas Tree (Silver, blue and white Snowflake Themed)

Hey everyone! Today I have another Christmas post to share with you all! I'm sharing my Christmas tree! Setting up the Christmas tree for me is always a really exciting moment and I just love to see it in my living room. It makes me smile every time. This year I put it up especially early because I couldn't wait any longer. (Christmas tree on November 1st anyone? Am I the only nut who does that?)

Also, check out Last year's tree! Can you spot the differences? Obviously it looks quite similar since many of the ornaments are the same, but I have many more round ornaments now. Also, you can't tell from last year's pictures, but there wasn't enough ornaments to have them all around the tree last year, but this year we do! Yay!


I also added a few Christmasy touches to my coffee table and my bookcase. I did cute silver, blue and snow flakes printed boxes in the bookcase and silver candle holders with a mini Christmas tree on the coffee table. Oh and the tissue paper box has snowmen on it!


That's all for my Christmas Decor this year! Hope you enjoyed this :)

Favorite False Lashes

Hey everyone! Quick favorites post today to share with you all : my favorite fake lashes! I've been getting more and more into them for the past few months and I have collected a few over time that I really love. I thought it was worth sharing in case you all are looking for new lashes that will look pretty for special occasions or for everyday wear. :)


As you can see, the majority of my favorite fake lashes are from Ardell because the lash band is usually very thin and they are easy to apply. I also love NYX and Kiss lashes although the NYX lashes can be a little more of a challenge to apply because of the thick lash band.

♥ NYX 109 Rebel Lashes : Quite natural looking if you're able to conceal the lash band.

♥ Kiss 05 Lashes : Very affordable and very voluminous. Quite dramatic looking.

♥ Ardell Inspired Lashes : Whimsical looking, but still wearable. Very pretty, but the lash band is thicker than other Ardell lashes so a little harder to apply and conceal.

♥ Ardell 120 Demi Lashes : Wearable flared out looking lashes.

♥ Ardell 315 Accent Lashes : Perfect if you want something super subtle or just to add a bit more volume to the outer part of your eye. Also much easier to apply than full strips which is perfect if you're just starting out with false lashes.

♥ Ardell 102 Demi Lashes : my very first false lash pair. Easy to wear, nice impact because of the spiky look that they have. Gives a doll-like effect.

♥ Ardell 100 Lashes : Super natural, perfect for a day time look or for beginners.

♥ Ardell Wispies Lashes : My Current favorites. Very long and dramatic, they make your eyes really pop.

That's all for today! I hope you enjoyed this post. Let me know in the comment what your favorite lashes are, I'm on the lookout for new ones!

L'Oréal Infallible Lacquer Liner in Blackest Black Review and Swatches

Hey everyone! Today I have a review on the L'Oréal Infallible Lacquer Liner. I picked it up recently because I was wondering how it would compare to other drugstore gel liner that I have tried. Also, my Wet n Wild Gel liner dried up on me a couple months ago so I have been using mostly liquid since then. I wanted to get back into gel liner because I love how it looks so I decided to give this one a try. I have been playing around with it for a little while now so I decided to review it for you all, in case any of you are looking to try out a new gel liner from the drugstore!

Review



Packaging : I quite like the packaging. It feels durable and closes tightly. The glass jar makes the packaging looks almost a bit fancy which I like. My only concern with it is that the metallic gold lid of the jar get dirty really quickly. As you can see, mine already has a bunch of fingerprints on it and I haven't owned it that long.

Color payoff : This liner is as black as you can get it one single swipe. I'm quite impressed by how dark it is. It really makes your eyes pop when applied.

Texture, Application and Wear : This gel liner is exceptionally creamy and it glides on easily when applied with a fine liner brush or an angled brush. So far, it seems to wear nicely, without rubbing or flaking off like some liners do. It remains as intensely pigmented all day as when you first apply it. What I have yet to discover though is how quickly this product dries out. I used to love my Wet n Wild cream liner, but it dry up on me in only a couple months. I will keep you posted on that later on.

Finish : This liner has a matte finish.

Price : 10-12$ depending on where you buy it.

Overall : I'm not 100% sure how much I like this yet, just because I don't know if it'll dry up quickly. If it does, than I'd rather spend 3$ on a Wet n Wild one instead of 10-12$. If it doesn't than I'll gladly pay a little more to be able to use more of my product. Other than that, I'm thrilled with this gel liner. The pigmentation is fantastic and it's the creamiest Drugstore Gel Liner I have tried so far. It is a little bit on the pricey side for a drugstore product, but most gel liners I have seen are around the same price point (the Maybelline Eye Studio one is also 10-12$) so I guess it's alright. I definitely recommend it if you're looking for a nice drugstore gel liner that is very creamy and very black. 9/10

Swatches


That's all for today's review! I hope this was helpful to you all! Have you tried this gel liner? What did you think? Let me know in the comments!
