Review: Kiss Everlasting French Nails

Sponsored | Bought Myself | Press Sample | Nothing to Disclose | Giveaway Winnings | Gifted

I have a love hate relationship with the Kiss Everlasting French Nails, I have used them a couple times before and  it was nice to receive them in the Spring Fling VoxBox from Influenster.

Super easy to use and apply, clean your nails then match up the nails to your nails for the correct fit using the numbers on the tabs, dab on some glue and press them on. You'll have red carpet fingers in no time!

The nails are great quality and not all that expensive, around $5-$6 at Walmart. I love how these have the little number tabs that you can tear off once you've applied them. Those tabs make it so easy to find the correct fit for you nails, unlike some nails that you have to turn over and squint to see the tiny number. They come with several different sizes, so I feel these would work well for almost everyone. I really like how natural these look once you have them on, very pretty look.

Now to the part I don't like about these nails, the glue. I hate using the glue because it always wrecks my nails and I tend to loose a nail within a day or two of applying them. I would much rather use the ones that have the sticky 'glue' already applied to them, like the imPress nails from Broadway. But I have to admit they look so great on. I will also admit that I did not use the glue that came with these for this review, I used some sticky tabs that I got with another nail kit. Didn't see the point in wrecking my nails again since I have used these in the past.

I think these nails would be great for a special occasion such as a wedding or even prom. Have you tried the Kiss Everlasting French nails? If not would you?

Review: Avon Mega Effects Mascara

Last year Avon introduced a breakthrough mascara, the Mega Effects Mascara. I was skeptical about trying this out so I waited quite some time and got it while it was on sale.

You may have seen this mascara around, it's the one  that looks like a paint brush. Avon calls it the Wonderbrush, it bends and adjusts to multiple angles so it catches all your lashes. Avon claims it fits natural shape of lashes allowing it to coat them all evenly from root to tip. They designed the brush this way so it would deliver 40% more mascara to the lashes.

Avon claims that the mascara provides 24 hour volume, leaves lashes darker, denser and more dramatic. Formula is supposed to be clump-proof, sweat-proof, non-flaking and non-smudging.

For me, I found this mascara to be quite awkward to work with. I could not really find a way to bend the wand that felt somewhat natural for me. It does not hold curl, which is no big surprise to me because I have have a hard time finding a mascara that will hold curl. I did not see any added volume, I don't think my lashes looked denser or dramatic. I will say it did leave my lashes looking darker, but ummm, isn't that what mascara is supposed to do?

In this first photo I have the Mega Effects on one eye:

And in this photo I have it on both eyes:

I honestly do not see what all the hype was about this mascara. I don't feel that it done anything for my lashes that a regular mascara couldn't have done. The only claims the Mega Effects met for me, is that it did leave my lashes darker, it's non-clumping and that it is non-flaking. I will not be repurchasing this and I will be sticking to my Maybelline One by One Volume Express.

Avon Mega Effects retails for $10

Have you tried this mascara? Did you have better luck with it than I did?
