false lower lashes review

Ok so I was thinking to myself how comes people don't put eyelashes on their lower lashes, I mean a lot of people have very distinctive lower eye lashes so what about if you feel like mascara is not doing much to your bottom lashes.
I purchased some lower lashes from a dealer on ebay from Hong Kong, they took a long time to come through around about the full 24days specified. When they came I was eager to try them on.
I used the Revelon eyelash glue (which i purchased from ASDA and the glue is transparent too), and applied the glue on the top back of the lashes (if that makes sense). I did not want to put it so much on the back of the eyelash because there would be less coverage on the bottom than the top lashes, even if you do put eyeliner it will be very messy.
I applied the  lashes and this is how it looked and this had no mascara what so ever on the bottom



I personally have small thin lashes and I have to cake on a lot of mascara to keep it looking full. so this has really helped me keep a natural looking pair of bottom lashes.

Graftobian Hi-Def Glamour Creme Super Palettes review

Ok so I am an up and coming make-up artist and I needed to build my kit. I had thought of how i could makemy artistry easier as I did not want to have have too much to carry in my kit. So i stumbled upon the Graftobian Hi-Def Glamour Creme Super Palettes through my research. I was nervous at first because I didn't know if I was getting my money's worth (I mean $69/£42 is quite a bit of money). I really wanted all the skin tones possible in one pallet instead of having lots of different foundations to choose from. I purchased all 4 super palettes, which included the warm (for yellow under tones), cool (for red under tones), the cool (for undertones which seem to be mixed with the yellow and red) and the 18 colour lip palette plus a free corrector palette. It all cost $279.96/£161.

After reading many reviews i was convinced that it was worth a try. It took about 3days to come through the post from the american site (www.graftobianmakeup.com), which i thought was quite good considering the distance.I also purchased there oxyderm moisturizer.

As i was applying it i found that it was very thick so i mixed the foundation with the moisturizer (not too much) in the palm of my hand taking a very small amount of foundation with a plastic spatula (which can be purchased from Charles Fox). The mixture felt very much like a liquid foundation but felt more like a tinted moisturizer. I used a small sponge for the flawless look. After applying the foundation I was quite pleased with the results because my skin was flawless. The only thing i didn't like was that i had to keep applying powder to my face as it was getting very oily, I have very oily skin anyway but it might not be the same for you.

I would recommend this product any day as it is cost effective. I was actually going to purchase the Bobbi Brown foundation and concealer palette which is £170 but they only sell it once in a while. If it does come out again i will purchase it but for now its all about Graftobia.
