So I've decided that this Lent I'm going to give up meat. I must confess, though, I think my main motivation here is to lose weight...although I'm sure I'll remember to reflect religiously as well. Anyway, I need to drop, ideally, about 40 pounds (I know, disgusting). Realistically, I hope to drop about 15-20 pounds. Not too hard, right? I think the combination of getting back into my gym routine and omitting meat from my diet will help me get back to my normal size and help detox me a bit. I'm probably so full of junk and impurities right now. Disgusting. I blame Darren. It's so hard to realize that you don't look good anymore when you have someone constantly telling you that you look good. Which, I can't get mad, really. He's my honeybear and, knowing me, I'd probably cry if he didn't think I looked good anymore. So yeah, just need get back in shape now. I need to remember to stay as positive as possible too. Earlier, I was thinking about posting a picture of a really really fat lady or perhaps my current jean size at my desk but I have come to realize that that's only going to add negativity and if I were to have a slip-up, I'd probably be depressed and hard on myself. BUT, if I post a picture of a lady who I would ideally wanna look like (something along the lines of "inspiration"), within reason, of course, I think it would create a more positive atmosphere. But anyway, I'll keep yallz posted on that.
Anyway, on a completely different topic, I'd like to do a short review on a couple new mascaras I recently acquired.
1st, we have CoverGirl's Lash Blast Length in the waterproof formula.
I'm not gonna lie, I had sorta high expectations for this one but it has really disappointed me. Perhaps I just got a bad tube, but mine was really dry. I didn't feel like it was doing anything for me at all. I might as well have been brushing my lashes with a clean brush. It didn't lengthen, it didn't volumize, it didn't even darken my lashes. And my lashes are, by no means, impressive naturally. They are really short and do not show up very well at all. And this mascara didn't help. So, thumbs down for this product. I did use the regular Lash Blast a while ago and I recall liking it, so this product made me sad.
The 2nd one I got (cause the first one kinda sucked), was Maybelline's Stiletto Lash.
And this one is a little better. I also got this one in the waterproof formula. It was definitely fresher and wetter so it darkened my lashes at least a little. It seemed to give me a little length but nothing really noticeable. It didn't much for volume either, but then again, neither of these mascaras were really aiming for volume in the first place, I suppose. I don't really think I'd re-purchase this one...and definitely not the other one.
But yeah, I think I might switch back to a high-end one next time. I want to give Dior a shot cause I've heard a lot about that one. We'll see.
