NARS-Orgasm Illuminator

I received this product about a month ago and was so excited to try it! It is described as "a multifunctional face product that gives skin a refreshed luminosity". It has a very light, almost lotion-y consistency which I really liked. I tried wearing it several ways, with full makeup, barefaced, lightly, built up, etc. I have come to the conclusion that while this is a lovely idea of a product, it's just not worth the price tag for what it does. While my skin did seem somewhat more "luminous", I could very easily have achieved the same effect that this product gave me from many other products at a considerably lower cost. NARS is an amazing line that puts out top notch products but I would never search high and low for this nor would I recommend that anyone else does.

Clinique Bottom Lash Mascara

I am a mascara girl and won't even leave the house without putting it on. It instantly makes you look awake and more refreshed. Typically, I don't coat my bottom lashes because the wands for most mascaras are simply to big to accomplish this without giving you the dreaded "raccoon eyes" look and not in a good way. When I heard the rave reviews for Clinique's Bottom Lash Mascara I had to give it a try.

When you first open the tube it is a bit startling to see how teeny-tiny the wand is. It literally has to be the smallest wand on the market. That makes it absolutely perfect for applying product to your bottom lashes. It works brilliantly and I can't recommend this highly enough. For those of you who can get the job done with your regular top lash mascara, then this isn't a must have for you. For the rest of us though, this is a real gem. It is available in Black and Black/Brown.
