The finale of the Younique Moodstruck 3D Fiber Lash Mascara Review.

   It took me a bit longer to do this than I wanted it to.  The reason behind this is I wanted to make sure I tried EVERYTHING to get this to work.  I talked to my up-line and found out that the fibers will sometimes stick to the inside of the container if they get really cold.  I keep my room extremely cold due to my cosmetics and perfume oils.  I was told to let the container sit in hot water for a few minutes and it would help release them.  I have to say that my first opinion has been changed.

   The fibers did release and it seems to be working better than it did in the beginning.  I think with a bit more time that I will be able to pull this off with a bit less time, but I still see it as time consuming.  No worse than false lashes, and I have to say I would rather stab myself in the eye repeatedly than try to apply false lashes daily.  Those of you who can and make it look so easy... I hate you.  Not really but I couldn't even keep the one I applied for the picture to stay glued down.

   I have decided not to give up on the Younique 3D Fiber Lash,  I think it could be a lot of fun for those special nights out or just for the days I want to take a bit of time to fix myself up.  If you don't mind the time it takes or are quick at learning then definitely give it a try.

   Make sure you use your curler BEFORE using this product.  I made a mistake with that myself,  I have been curling my lashes after applying mascara for years.  My lashes are long and mascara always seems to straighten them back out afterwards.  With this product use a spool brush to push them back up and curl them, I lost the tips of my lashes on my right eye.

   The fibers will fall onto your face and the setting gel and fibers can easily get on the eyelid.  I use primer under and on my eye before applying this so it easily comes off with a cotton swab.

   If you have any questions or comments please feel free to leave them below or go to my contact page and send me a message.

Younique's Moodstruck 3D Fiber Lash

I finally received my presenters kit,  I of course tore into it and began playing with the 3D fiber lash.  It was the one reason I joined the Younique family.

I am going to be honest, my first experience with it brought me near tears.  The more I played with it though the better I liked it.  I am still not 100% sold that it beats out false lashes or just mascara alone, because this is no slam it on and walk out the door mascara.

Here are a couple of pictures of me with the 3D lash on I will post some in a couple of days showing my bare lashes, with my normal mascara, falsies and the 3D fiber lash for comparison.

If you are curious about the product check out my Younique presenters page.

The camera doesn't lie.

Although sometimes the light can help twist the truth a bit some of those deep set lines of age cannot be hidden.  

My Bpal Giftee's

   All three of my ladies on Bpal received their packages.  I made each of them a bag and a beaded hair accessory and stuffed them full of perfume and other samples.  They were all very excited and loved what they got.  I love when I can make someones day a bit better.

   I have my Redditgiftee's package ready and just have to get it off in the mail and a care package to send off to a friend in Mississippi.  This time of year can be the best, but for some not that great especially when it seems the tide is rolling against you.

  I hope that everyone has a great holiday season, with or without gifts.  Just hold tight the ones you love and know you are blessed as long as you have them in your life.  For those that are alone, go find others that are alone as well.  You do not have to be in a romantic relationship or related by blood to call someone family.

  As for me, I have my husband.  I have friends that I know personally, I have friends I have never met and I love you all.  No matter how bad the situation I know I am loved. I still miss my mom but that will never change.

  Enough blathering from me, go hug someone already.

The joy of giving

   Sometimes when dealing with our own economical issues and daily crisis we forget that as bad as we may have it there are others that have it even harder.  I was on one of my forums today and came across a posting for Kiva.  I had visited their site a couple of years ago but did not know or understand exactly what it was.

   Finding out more about it and the fact they are giving a free trial of $25.00 that I could donate to whom ever I wanted I decided to check it out.  What could it hurt they did not require I sign up for a dedicated monthly subscription.  Even better the money Kiva does get they do not keep, they use it all for distributing to the field partners who distribute the loans.  They also do not charge interest.

   For every person that signs up through my link I get another $25.00 that I can donate towards another person.  For my initial donation I chose a woman in Kenya who is asking for a loan to buy supplies for her Cafe.  The link below you can find out about Joyce and her story.

   The money you lend you will get back as the loans are repaid and you are then able to re-loan the money to help another person.  Though $25.00 may not seem like a lot to some it can go a long way in other places.  Personally I do not have an extra $25.00  at the moment but as soon as I do I think I know what I will be doing with it.

  Again if you are interested please use my link as everyone who signs up I will be able to help that many more people.  It is a difficult choice as there are many seeking.  Hope you all have a wonderful week and your Monday feels more like a Friday.

Really feeling this today.

Elkhart General Hospital

   I have to say I was not thrilled about going to Elkhart General, in the past I have had some very bad experience's including an extremely sadistic doctor.  This time the staff was prompt, friendly and the place was clean.  I think Memorial taking them over was a good thing.
