Review: Essence I Love Extreme Crazy Volume Mascara

I'm in love with mascaras. Even If i have a no makeup day (which is almost every day, since I have a new job), I will still put a bit of mascara on my eyelashes. My lashes are not very long and they are "curled" in a weird way that they seems almost invisible. I kinda wanted to try an Essence mascara, because I have not tried any of their new ones. In the past I had a great  mascara experience with their Multi action mascara (the black tube with green "stripes") and a very bad one with their first waterproof mascaras (I really don't remember the name of it).

So I went to our drugstore called "Muller" to check for some mascaras. I always check Essence's and Catrice's stands first. As you may know, Essence has quite a wide selection of mascaras (http://essence.eu/en/products/eyes/mascara.html). I picked up the I Love Extreme Crazy Volume Mascara. The price was around 3 EUR (2,99 or 3,19 EUR).

PACKAGING: Pink plastic tube, with black writing. It's kinda nice for the price. The brush is quite big with a lot of plastic/rubber bristels, even of the tip of the brush.

TEXTURE: Thick formula, not too wet. Doesn't clump. It's quite heavy after you apply 2-3 coats on your lashes. The colour is very black.

APPLICATION/REMOVAL/STAYING POWER: If you are used to bigger brushes is not a problem.
But I was used to smaller and skinnier brushes, because my eyes are small, so my first application was a mess. Now I'm used to it, and I'm fine with the brush. It curls my lashes and make them longer, without clumping them. It lasts on me the whole day, without smudging or flaking. At the end of the day I remove it with my L'oreal Micellar Solution in seconds.

INGREDIENTS: Aqua (Water), Synthetic Beeswax, Paraffin, Glyceryl Stearate, Acacia Senegal Gum, Butylene Glycol, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Wax, Stearic Acid, Palmitic Acid, Polybutene, VP/Eicosene Copolymer, Carnauba (Copernicia Cerifera) Wax, Aminomethyl Propanol, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Phenoxyethanol, Propylparaben, CI 77499 (Iron Oxides).

RATING: 4,5/5 (1-the worst/5-the best)

L'Oreal Preference Wild Ombre

Hey you!

I had a dream about summertime... 
I was driving a convertible and my hair was light brown with blond highlights.

Actually I had 100% virgin hair for almost 7 years. I wanted to change my hair colour for quite a long time. 
I wanted something that screams summer, beach, fun,...
So I went to our "drugstore" called Mueller to check the selection of hair dyes. So, I saw the hair dye kit from L'oreal Paris called Wild Ombre. They had only one kit left in the store ( I would actually need two of them, because I have a lot of hair). They had only this shade of ombre for a while (shade Ombre N. 1 - For light brown to dark brown). 
In the kit you will recieve: a developer cream in a bottle, lightening powder, lightening cream (colour), gloves, instructions
and an aplication brush + a great conditioner.



How to apply it: The kit comes with a powder and a cream that you mix together, along with an applicator brush, gloves, conditioning shampoo and an instruction booklet. The brush is brilliant to apply this "bleach" if you have never dyed your hair before. You just coat it with the mixture and comb through your hair (where you want it lighter). I also put some aluminium foil on the ends of my hair. It's says to leave it in your hair for 25-45 min, but i left it for more than an hour, because of my dark hair (i could left it even longer in my opinion).
Rating: 4/5 (it turned a bit orangy in my opinion, but i'm fine with it)
Price: 8,19 eur in Mueller Slovenija
