Annabelle's Le Big Show Review

I bought Annabelle's Le Big Show awhile back and I just loved it! I bought it from Shopper's Drug Mart for $9.95 I believe.. it had also came with a glitter eyeliner but that's for another day! I want more colors! Anyways, So I thought that was a great deal! 

I kept putting off doing a review for so long.. I thought today what the heck why not just do it I don't have anything else to do! I was going to post it tomorrow but thought what the heck I have the pictures cropped and ready. ha ha

Today I really didn't feel like putting on makeup so I just put on under eye concealer and went to town with the mascara! :-D

I just love this mascara because seriously looks like I have on a pair of natural looking false lashes... but I totally don't! woot woot! <3

Don't mind my messy eyebrows! ha ha :-P

I also have a close up of this bad boy on! 

Now, I've read reviews where people have problems getting to their smaller lash hairs with the mascara wand but I didn't. But I also love big chunky wands that have lots of bristles on them. For me as you can tell it added length and held a curl nicely also added a bit of volume which is what I look for in a mascara!

Sorry for the craptastic picture but I was getting antsy because I already took so many of my face! ha ha

On their site they describe Le Big Show as...

Want lashes that will turn heads? Bat your way to glamour land with the new Le Big Show mascara. The wand does it all: mega volume from the first stroke. Each lash is separated without clumps to give you seemingly endless length. Why fake what you already have?
The secret: buildable formula and nylon bristles to coat each and every lash! Smooth and flake-free, the unique formula beautifies your lashes without smudging or running.
Perfect for all types of lashes, the Le Big Show Mascara’s ophthalmologist tested formula is even suitable for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers.
So what are you waiting for? Take your eyelashes to Le Big Show!
Suggested retail price: $9.95

I am a huge fan of this mascara it doesn't flake but I was messing around with it so it was flaking a bit! haha but if you don't mess with your mascara than its fine!

The pictures above are with two coats of mascara. I find for me that if I add more with volumizing mascara they tend to get a big clumpy in some parts and I don't like that. I'm super picky when it comes to mascara's! If they are too wet I don't like them... I wait about a month before attempting to use them again! :-P I also pump air into them to dry them out a bit. New mascara thats dry I just throw out! haha

L'Occitane Cherry Blossom Eau de Toilette

I won a giveaway last month being hosted by Jenn Staz. I was so excited!

I love perfume, eau de toilettes, scented lotions... I love it all!

It took awhile to get here but only because I entered a giveaway from the United States based company and they wouldn't ship it to me directly! :-( They sent it to Jenn which then she had to ship it to me so that was sucky and I kinda felt bad for her! 

But I finally got it! I opened it up. It was packaged so nicely with bubble wrap which was awesome! I love it when companies take the time to package things! Makes me happy! haha

On their site they describe Cherry Blossom as

Evocative & Feminine

Delight your senses with L'Occitane's new fragrance range, that celebrates the poetic beauty of the cherry blossom.

The cherry tree is part of the Provencal landscape. It is widespread in the Apt region. This tree changes colors with the seasons, a source of inspiration for the artists: pure white in spring, bright red in summer, soft green in autumn...

I tell you I have never fell this much in love with an Eau de Toilette before! It is a very elegant scent.. but also smells fresh and girly. It doesn't make me feel old wearing it.. but it also doesn't make me feel super childish either! I smell this on myself and it makes me feel like this is my scent.. this is what Shawna smells like! haha

Since it is an Eau de Toilette you need to layer it so it lasts longer. Because it doesn't last as long as I would like... maybe 2 -3 hours. But if you're like me and take your perfume with you everywhere and spritz regularly then its not a problem! ;-)
Maybe at a later date I will be able to buy the lotion too! Its kinda expensive ($38.40 CAN) :-/ So we shall see!

They carry the 50ml ($38 CAN) Eau de Toilette which is what I have and they also carry a bigger size which is 100ml ($54 CAN)
