YSL Volume Effect Faux CILS Mascara

 

Yves Saint Laurent -1

I received the YSL Volume Effect Faux CILS Mascara from Influenster to review.

On the website it says it is a false lash effect mascara and this is the new remastered formula.

Here is what it claims:

The most emblematic "false lash effect" volume mascara, now with an all new Lash Care formula. Its secret is the Triple-Intensity Formula: intense volume, intense color and now intense care. The nylon fiber brush coats each lash in deep color and maximum volume from root to tip, while B5 Pro-Vitamin strengthens and protects lashes.

The brush remind me of Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes and I think they perform very similar as well.

Tarte is my favorite of all my mascara’s I have like four backups so that says a lot already.

The YSL mascara gave really nice volume and length without making your lashes look clumpy. I hate clumpy mascara. Not sure I look like I have on false lashes but they look pretty dang good. Winking smile

YSL 6 hours

I think it held up great after 6 hours. I was outside in the heat/humidity for a couple hours and I had no smudging, no transferring to my upper lid and no flaking at all.

↓Then I washed this beast ↓

And still the mascara stayed put!!!

Excuse the hideousness of the last pic. Being out in 80 degree heat for a couple hours and then washing our Labrador does not look good on me LOL!Sun Smile with tongue out 

YSL Volume Effect Faux CILS Mascara Retails for  $32.00 on their site.

I give it 5 stars on my first impression. I will report back if that changes.

I was sent this product free from Influenster but these are my personal honest opinions. No one paid me or told me I had to give a good/bad review for this product. Rolling on the floor laughing

Reunion

This past weekend we had our annual family reunion for my husbands side of the family.

It is always a great time with lots of family, food and games. Oh and fishing which is what Bub did all day long when he wasn’t eating.

Reunion Collage

I made two new to me recipes for the reunion and they both turned out to be Pinterest wins.

BLT Macaroni Salad

The only thing I would change is when I make a double batch again I will split the two portions of macaroni into separate bowls then add the ingredients to each to stir. Makes it easier to gauge if I need to add more mayo, sour cream or seasoning.

Strawberry Refrigerator Cake

This turned out perfect I would not change anything. It was a hit.

Happy Tuesday!

My first product is a product from Pur-lisse called Pur-delicate . It is a gentle soy milk cleanser and makeup remover. I have only used this once but it did get all my make up off even my mascara. The scent was kind of citrusy like lime pie filling. A full size retails for $36.00

My second item is Dr. Brandt pores no more anti aging mattifying lotion. I have not used this yet so I will have to report back. Full size retails for $60.00

My third item is Boo Boo cover up. I really like this concealer. It feels nice on the skin and blends easily. I think the coverage is pretty great and it has ingredients to promote healing so it’s perfect for acne spots. Full size retails for $20.00

Last item is a Nyx butter lipstick in the color hunk. I already own a couple of the butter lipsticks and I really like them. I was so glad they sent me one I did not have and I really like this color. It looks intimidating in the tube but is just a nice wash of magenta. Retails for $6.00
