Review: Heroine Make Volume & Curl Mascara by Kiss Me

I bought this mascara early in the spring this year when I was on vacation in Hong Kong. But I started using it this fall, and I have used it for some time now and I am impressed with this mascara. It gives long and full lashes and it is very easy to apply. It looks almost perfect at once and I do not need to comb through my lashes after I have applied it. This is a very good thing since I am a little bit of a perfectionist when it comes to mascara application and I hate it when the lashes clump together.

This mascara stays on all day and it doesn't smudge and there are no flakes of mascara under the eye in the evening. In fact it still looks as good after twelve hours of wear as it did after I just applied it.
But it is not the easiest mascara to remove and there is only one thing that works, the Bi-facil eye makeup remover from Lancôme, and even then it is hard work. I have lost a couple of lashes trying to remove this stuff.

One thing that is on the negative side with this mascara is that it doesn't dry at once so if you are not careful it will transfer on to the upper lid right after you have applied it. So you have to remember to look down a short time after you have applied the mascara. It is not a big deal but something to think about.


Overall grade: I like this mascara,it stays on all day and it doesn't cost a lot, only 59 HKD (approx. 51 SEK).


I bought this product with my own money and it is my own opinion, I am not affiliated with this company.

Halloween at LUSH

This year LUSH is celebrating Halloween the Mexican way and has taken inspiration from the Day Of The Dead festival in Mexico.

LUSH has come up with three limited edition products, a Bath Ballistic, Shower Jelllies and a soap. The scent of these products are all inspired by Mexico and all of the products have a variation of a fruity lime scent.

I picked up two of the products at LUSH

The Calavera Bath Ballistic


I liked the look of this Ballistic, it is white with areas that are pink, blue and orange.changes color in the bath and is supposed to look like a "magical, eerie celebration in the water", and it contains neroli, lime and marigold petals. I am excited to try this one and see how it behaves in the water.

Lady Catrina Soap
This soap is formed like a purple hat decorated with colorful fruits. It smells like fruit pastilles and lime and contains Agave nectar. I love the scent of this soap and I am a little sad that it is a limited edition soap. I use this to wash my hands and the scent of this soap fills my bathroom and make it smell like fruit pastilles.

I didn't pick up the third product, the Calacas Shower Jelly since I am not a big fan of Shower Jellies. I rarely use the one I have bought in the past and therefore decided to skip this one. The Calacas Shower Jelly is shaped like a skull and come in three different colors, yellow, green and orange and it has the scent of lime and Jelly Beans.

I picked up one of their newer products as well, the Dragon's Egg Bath Ballistic.
This is also a color chaning bath Ballistic and LUSH descibes this ones as a "Cracking Sherbert-Scented Fireball".


It has a fresh citrus scent and contains lime and bergamot. I fell head over heels for the description of this one. It contains glitter and cracking candy and changes color, what more can a girl want in a bath bomb. Oh and the scent is wonderful also.

On my nails: Metro Chic from Sephora by O.P.I

This is a nail color that has been on my "Most Wanted List" for a long time.

This is a purple smoky taupe and it was an unusual color when it was first released and it was talked about a lot in the beauty community. These days there are many similar shades being released by nail polish brands so it isn't the unique color it used to be.

At first I didn't like this on my nails at all. I felt it was to dark and just not my color, but after a while I got used to it and it grew on me.

I am impressed with the formula of this one, it applies evenly and opaque and two coats is enough to get a good result.

I am back

I have been on a little break. I lost some of my inspiration and I also went on vacation. Before I went on my vacation my mind was very focused on the trip and I felt that my interest in makeup had to step aside a little.
But now I am back and I feel that I am ready to start writing posts on my blog again.

I have been to the United States and of course you cannot go to the States without buying some makeup, right?

Here is a sneak peak on the things that I picked up on my vacation. I tried to focus on brands that I cannot buy here in Sweden. This is just a little sneak peak and I will write more about the things that I bought later on the blog and maybe focus more on the individual things.


I am putting myself on a little shopping ban until the end of 2010. I think that it is the right time to do this, because at the moment I have so many new things that I like to try out before I buy something new. Also I don't want to end up owning a lot of things that I don't use. I look forward to this and to see if I am able to rediscover some things that I have forgotten about.

There is only one thing that I am allowed to buy for myself makeup and beauty wise and it is the Holiday collection from LUSH. This I cannot resist.
