MARCELLE XTENSION PLUS MASCARA

Hi ladies! I've been away for a bit and I've missed being here on the  blog. What can I say, life is taking over and I'm just super busy all the time now. I did however want to share this quick post with you all on my new drugstore find!! I can't believe I haven't tried this product before, but it's never too late. If you follow my bog regularly ( which I'm sure you all do), you know I have a slight fascination with  a Maybelline Pumped Up Colossal Mascara. I've used it for years now and I've never truly found any other mascara that works as well..till now!
Marcelle Xtension Plus Mascara

I was at my local drugstore the other day and was feeling adventurous as I wanted to add a few new products to my makeup bag. I feel sometimes I get stuck in a rut and always reach for the same products. If those products work for you then there's nothing wrong with sticking with them, but it's great to also try something new. So that day I decided to put away my go-to mascara and pick up the Marcelle Xtenstion Plus Mascara. It was nicely priced at $12.99 and I've heard great things about the brand so I thought why not give it a shot! 

Marcelle brands this mascara as a lengthening and curling product. The wand on one side is made up of small bristles to reach the shortest lashes and the other side has longer bristles for longer lashes. I was able to coat my lashes twice without clumping. My lashes that are naturally short were super long after just the first coat of mascara. I could of stopped there but I added the second coat for extra oomph! and I definitely achieved that. It separated my lashes very nicely and never clumped or dried out on me causing black flakes to fall on my cheeks ( arg I hate that!). I've experienced this flakey fall-out with some very expensive mascaras and it's super annoying! 

I'm really really impressed with this mascara. I've used it now for 2 weeks straight and the tube hasn't dried out even after everyday use. It gives my lashes such a generous lift that my co-worker ( bless her heart) actually thought I was wearing falsies to work! YES..isn't this every girls dream? I hope to continue using the Xtension Plus mascara as it's effortlessly become a nice addition to my collection of loved products !

p.s I purchased this product with my own money and the opinions expressed in this post are my own. I was not compensated for this post.

Delightful Mother's Day Gift Ideas Under $60!


How do you thank the woman that raised, loved and cared for you?  

No amount of money can truly show ones appreciation towards their mother, but every year on this special day we try to honour her.  I routinely end up with a small gift + flowers for my mother Amira (means Princess in Arabic).  My mother, a kind hearted loving woman, doesn't like to be showered with extravagant gifts and prefers charming and dainty ones instead. I definitely had her in mind when creating this collage. I truly don't think you can go wrong in gifting any of these delightful,  practical and petite gifts.

XOXO
