Herbal Essences Totally Twisted Curl Define and Hold Creme

Hey Glam-Lovers!  I recently bought the Herbal Essences Curl Define and Hold Creme and wanted to do a review for all of you glamouristas!










The Packaging:

The colors of the packaging are very pretty.  I love the White, Blue and Purple theme!  The pump is also very unique. It makes it easy to get the product out of the bottle.

On my hair:

When I first took some of the product out of the bottle, I noticed how thick it was.  But, it quickly dissolved into my hair. I like that this product doesn't weigh down my hair. Combined with my Suave Professionals Mousse, I used this product to scrunch my hair.  It looks ok. I think I may be able to get the same affect with just the mousse. I'm sure it can be used in many other ways, though.


Glambition Points:

 I changed up the categories for the glambition points because this is a hair product, not makeup. By how it looks, I mean on my hair and by sticking to the promise I mean sticking to what it says it will do for my hair.


So, how glambitous is this product?  Let's find out. Each category is worth 25 points (a perfect score being 100).

Packaging: 25/25

How it looks: 15/25

Price: 21/25

Sticking to the promise: 18/25

This product scored a 79 out of 100. It looked ok on my hair, but not good enough to even show you glammies a picture. My hair was also frizzy and this product is supposed to manage frizz. However, the packaging is nice and it works ok for scrunching. Not to mention it smells amazing!  Now remember, this is only my opinion.  You may like the product more than I do. I am not trying to brag about any of the products mentioned and I purchased all of the products mentioned in this post with my own money.

Tutorial Tuesday- The Messy Bun

Hey Glammies! I'm so sorry I'm late for tutorial Tuesday, but I figured I would show you all how I create my messy bun!








What you'll need:


A hair brush
2-4 Bobby Pins
A hair elastic
Hair spray/finishing spray
A head band (optional)


Step One:  Brush your hair 

Just simply brush out your hair to make sure it is smooth and to help eliminate fly-aways.

Step Two: 


Take a small section in the front of your hair and divide it into two.  Start twisting them back. When they are fully twisted, insert two bobby pins to hold the twist in place.  You may do this on the other side of your hair if you want, but I just like it on one side of my head.










Step Three: Put it up



Put your hair in a semi-high ponytail.  Then, just make your hair into a bun.  Don't worry about it being tight, since this is a messy bun.

Step Four:  

Take your favorite hairspray or finishing spray (I'm using Redken Forceful 23 Finishing Spray) and spray it all over your hair so it does not fall out throughout the day.


Step Five (optional):  

Choose your favorite headband and put it in your hair!

Battle Of The Drugstore Mascaras





Hey glamouristas! Today i have Glam City's first battle between drug store mascaras! The 4 that are battling today are two Maybelline and two Covergirl mascaras. I have tried Revlon Mascaras and i didnt like any of them, also i have heard good things about Loreal mascaras but i haven't got a chance to try any. 


Maybelline Illegal Length Mascara in Blackest Black










"Break every law of lengthening. 4mm of measurable extensions! Sealing formula + fiber-fix brushWaterproof"  Maybelline.com

Don't get me wrong I love Maybelline products. However, i feel like they exaggerated this product a little. It does make my lashes longer, but not 4mm. Here are some more thoughts on this mascara. 


The Brush and Formula:



        This brush is really unique, it is as if its on an angle. I really love it because it allows me to get into the corners of my eyes easily. Also i find it separates my lashes well:





















Overall the formula is okay, it definitely is waterproof and doesn't clump but i find it gives my lashes no volume. I know its called illegal length, but i still wish it could give me a little boost. 
Mascara is on left eye, as in all pictures on this page







Covergirl Lashblast Fusion in Very Black



Experience COVERGIRL's first ever volume + length mascara! The fiberstretch formula and oversized brush make every little lash bigger, fuller, longer-looking, and more dramatic.* Covergirl.com










So basically this is supposed to combine CoverGirls Lashblast Length mascara and Lashblast Volume mascara into one. It does do what it promises by giving your lashes volume and length. 


The Brush and Formula:

  
I like this brush, but i don't love it. I like the size, it makes it easier to get multiple lashes at once, but it is a little bit harder to get the corner lashes. The formula is okay. I find that it is a little bit runny. 


 



Maybelline the Falsies Volume Express Flared Mascara in Very Black



"FALSE LASH GLAM IN A TUBE - NOW GOES FLARED! 
300% MORE VISIBLE LASHES. Winged out & over the top, instantly!" Maybelline.com








Volume? Yes! This mascara gives me ALOT of volume. However, it doesnt make my lashes as full as  i would like them to be. 



The Brush and Formula:


I love this brush! It is creative, and gives me alot of volume. The formula does tend to clump a little, but overall is great. 









CoverGirl LashBlast Volume in Very Black



"Get a blast of lush, volumized lashes! LashBlast's patented volume-boosting formula and patent-pending brush are designed to max out each and every lash, leaving you with the ultimate big-lash look." Covergirl.com






This mascara gives me so much volume and makes my lashes look so full!! 




The Brush and Formula:

This brush is basically the same as the Lash Blast Fusion. I like that its big but it is a little harder to get the corners of your eyes. 


As for the formula, i love it! It gives me a lot of volume, and makes my lashes look really full. Also it isnt runny like the Lash Blast fusion. 







Packaging and price:

As for packaging all these products have very good packaging. The price of the products range from around 6-8 dollars depending where you get them from.


THE WINNER!

So which mascara was the most glamorous? I have to give it to the CoverGirl Lash Blast Fusion! I have even tried upper end products also and i always come back to this one! It lasts all day and i love the everything about it! Remember this is only my opinion and other people may think differently.

Spring Eye Look- Green Goddess

Hey Glammies, it's Stella! I wanted to do an eye makeup tutorial today!

Step One: Pick your favorite primer!


I'm using an e.l.f. Eyelid Primer. You can pick it up at Target for just $1!










Step Two: Choose your brush



I am just using an e.l.f. eye shadow brush, but you can use whatever brush you want.








Step Three: 

I am using the Coastal Scents 88 Original Palette for this look.




Apply the color in the third row down and the fourth column over to your lids.












Step Four:


Take the color in the seventh row down and the third column over and apply it to your crease.












Step Five:


Next, take the color in the third row down and the last column over and gently sweep it over your lid. Or, you can use any light silver color that you have.  This will help soften the green.











Step Six:



Use the color in the first row and the fourth column over and mix it with the white color in the upper left corner.  Sweep this on the brow bone for a highlight color.
























Step Seven: Choose your favorite mascara!



Apply it to your lashes until they get to your desired length.










I am using Maybelline Illegal Length Mascara.


The Finished Look:













I hope all of you glamouristas enjoyed this tutorial!  Let us know if you have any requests in a comment or by emailing us at GlamCity2@gmail.com. Don't forget to follow!  Have a glamorous evening!

Some Beauty Products I wish I hadn't bought

Hey Glammies, it's Stella!  I wanted to tell you about some beauty products I wish I never bought.


Covergirl Clean Foundation



So, this was before I knew anything about makeup and I got like 5 shades darker than my skin tone.  I am also not a fan of the packaging.  The bottle is glass so, if I dropped it, it would not end well!  Also, there is not way to squeeze the product out.  You have to stick your finger in the bottle.  The price is inexpensive, but I still wish I hadn't bought this!


Hollister Lip Gloss



I have absolutely no idea why I ever bought Hollister Lip Gloss.  It is thick and sticky and nasty.  I would definitely not recommend it!  It is also blue...?


Garnier Fructis Anti-Frizz Serum



Some people really like this product.  I on the other hand, don't.  It does not tame my frizz and it makes my hands and my hair greasy and oily!  When I use to use it, I would put it into my hair and twenty minutes later..bam! Frizzy hair. WOM- Waste of money!


Sephora Nail Polish



You would think that it would be good quality since it's from Sephora. I don't think it is...it is thick and  always clumps up a smears.  When I finally got it not to smear on all my nails, it started peeling off.  I would be typing on my computer and look down and see green.  My whole nail polish would peel off.  WOT-Waste of time!


Don't forget to let me know what beauty products you wish you hadn't bought in a comment! If you have any requests, please don't hesitate to leave a comment or send us and email at GlamCity2@gmail.com. Don't forget to follow..it's free!


Have a glamorous day!
