Vibrating mascara has always been a love/hate concept for me. I like the idea but I also don’t like the idea of vibrating things near my eyes because they’re very sensitive and ticklish. To get this one to vibrate you have to hold down the button on the lid which can be a bit annoying to do for long periods of time. The formula is thick and very black. It thickens my lashes a whole lot but also found that the thin brush made it harder to distribute easily. I wasn’t a fan of how it looked on the top lashes but the tiny prongs of the brush made it very easy to apply on the bottom lashes. This is one of my favorites to use on bottom lashes because of the brush. Overall I don’t think the vibrating really made a difference to application so I preferred to use it without.
Would I buy Lancome Infinite Power Vibrating Mascara again: Probably not. While I like it for bottom lashes the price is a bit high for something that I would only use on the bottom. The vibrating wasn’t so much use for me. That said it might be exactly what someone else is looking for on top too so definitely worth a test.

I’ve done quite a few MOR reviews previously and as they are for the most part the same products with different scents I’m not going to go through each one this time but rather full your browser full of drool worthy photos and just add in some new notes to the bottom.
MOR Holiday Collection
Obtained: Sent by PR
Thoughts:
Insanely pretty yes? Beautiful packaging as always, I think the lovely bag and tea box has outdone anything I’ve seen so far from MOR.
The hand creams are all the same formulas of those I’ve reviewed before and the scents are again lovely.
The vanilla lipgloss (with the gold lid and dark bottom) smell divine and is a fairly runny consistency. I found the lid was a little too loose to keep in my handbag but have it sitting next to my desk to use every day. It doesn’t last as long as a lot of my other glosses but the smell is so nice I love it anyway.
The lip macaron was of a harder consistency and is living in my handbag at the moment. I’m not as fond of this smell as I am the other one but it’s still very nice. The design is lovely too because it’s quite thin so perfect to slip into a purse.

Brush: Don’t like that it has a flat top, makes it harder to grip for painting. Don’t mind the actual brush, fairly flexible and thick.
Drying Time: Roughly the same for all of them. Reasonably quick drying time.
Colour Name:
Not listed
Good for:
-Conservative styles
-Leopard print
Would I buy Camouflage Nail Polish again: It’s not bad, the consistency is pretty good but the colours don’t really appeal to me. I would be interested in other colours but not these and I would prefer different brushes.

Tokyo Wink is a lash brand who have just opened their Australian branch and sent me some lashes to try out. The first ones I tried were “Date Night” as seen above. One thing I noticed is that all of the lashes are HUGE. I picked designs that were similar to ones I have used in the past and the first thing I saw when actually seeing them physically were how long and gigantic the lashes were!
Date Night were crazy long and gave a very pretty dramatic look. I don’t normally have to cut lashes because I have big eyes but all of these designs I needed to cut down to fit. These were a lot thicker than I expected from the photo on the store but very pretty none the less.
They were lighter than a lot of lashes I’ve used too.
The next set was “Armenian” these are the kind that I normally wear for special occasions. Again they are almost as long as the Date Night ones and very lightweight and feathery. I think they would be good for people who haven’t had much lash experience.
Next on the list was the Standard 11 which are the kind of thing I would wear every day. Again they are very long and luscious while being light and maintaining a very steep curve. By cutting them down to fit I had the ends extra which could be layered on the outer corner for a more dramatic look.
Lastly were the lower lashes “Vivid“. These needed cutting too and I found the design to be very pretty but a little unpredictable as many of the strands were at different lengths. I found these to go with my look better if I just added them as accents over the lower lashes rather than an entire strip.
Also included were some lash tweezers which were very nice quality. I personally can’t get the hang of them but I’ve been using fingers for forever so I’m quite biased, I think these would be good for beginners starting out.
Overall I thinkt he lashes were quite good quality, the prices ranged from around $9.95-12.95 and each set had 5 pairs. That’s a lot cheaper than buying individually here but more expensive than somewhere bulk like ebay. The packaging was very cute and the styles were versatile. None of the packets came with glue but that didn’t bother me because I never use the glue that comes with lashes anyway.
If you want to try some of the out, TokyoWink has given us a 20% discount code, just enter “Violet” at checkout.
Would I buy Tokyo Wink False Lashes again: Yes I would because they have a lot of styles I like and now have an Australian branch so shipping should be less expensive than somewhere overseas. Quality was nice.

I went to a trial event of Bare Minerals foundation a while ago, here’s a video of it being applied to me:
We were all given a pack to take home with us and try. I used the lightest foundation daily for several months and found it to be quite nice. I couldn’t use it on it’s own because it dried out my skin too much.
It went very well over the top of other foundation though so I used it as a matt finishing powder. Very nice for that and I would continue using it in that purpose but as a foundation by itself it dried my skin out too much. The coverage was medium and I couldn’t completely get rid of my freckles even though it’s advertised as being able to cover all kinds of skin defects etc.
The biggest disappointment for me was the brushes. The first time I used them there was a massive amount of bristle fall out as you can see below…
Even after several uses I was constantly cleaning them off my table so I’m not sure if I just got a dud or whether they are all of this quality.
Overall I really did like the foundation and continue to use it now, just not by itself.
Would I buy Bare Minerals Escentuals again: I would buy the foundation again definitely but not in a kit like this as I don’t have use for the brushes or extra shades. I would suggest getting matched for colour in store and then trailing to see if this works well with your skin before purchasing.
