Urban Decay is releasing SEX PROOF Mascara?!

Coming this September, Urban Decay is releasing something big. Something sexy. Something that'll cause major trouble. In this little holographic box, I give you, Urban Decay's new Troublemaker mascara.


The Troublemaker mascara is said to give you not only 1, but 13.7 TIMES the lash volume. Wit a failsafe formula that works every time, and a custom brush that lengthens and volumizes as it sepertes the lashes - this mascara really can't do no wrong. In fact, Urban Decay gives you it's complete trust when they tell you it's SEX PROOF.


The Formula consists of two different types of black pigments which give the mascara and intensity that's blacker than my soul - and trust me - that's pretty black. The mascara contains a combination of hollow silica and ultralight fibers that volumize your lashes without the heavyweight feeling. Best part yet, this Troublemaker is infused with Vitamin E to nourish and condition your lashes. No flaking, smearing, or smudging.

As pictured above, the tube has a unique prismatic finish - nothing like ever seen before.



I got a lucky chance to receive this product as a sample before release to test out - and let me say I am NOT disappointed. I've tried this mascara while around the house, as well as on a hot Summer day. I was thoroughly impressed by how light this mascara felt even though it almost quadrupled the volume of my lashes - let me remind you I have almost INVISIBLE wispy blonde lashes.

I have to say, I APPROVE OF THIS MASCARA.

THE NEW KAT VON D BEAUTY SAINT AND SINNER PERFUMES

As many people know, Kat Von D has decided to resurrect her signature Saint & Sinner fragrances from years and years ago - and it has everybody freaking out! I know I'm a little late to this article for the release, but it was something I really wanted to research on and try out for myself. Thanks to Sephora for providing a couple samples with the Saint Everlasting Liquid Lipstick bundle I've recently gotten, and of course the wonderful opportunity from Influenster of their Saint & Sinner VoxBox for even a little bit bigger samples of this delight.

When the Kat Von D fragrances released initially for the first time it definitely became a cult favorite amongst the beauty and fragrance world. It was only a matter of time before before the signature fragrances made a comeback in their brand new nature. Kat has completely redesigned the bottles into a elegant gothic victorian manner along with updating the scents to smell even better.

SAINT

Curated to show the softer side of Kat, this fragrance with the scent of of jasmine, caramel, sandalwood, and tiare flower was created to evoke the romantic and sweeter side of Kat Von D.

SINNER

The fragrance that Kat claims herself makes her "want to take on the world" is created with a more spicy side consisting of the scents plum, vetiver, and cinnamon.

Also to claim, right before the perfumes made their debut Kat Von D celebrated 10 years of sobriety on July 7th, 2017. Congrats Kat!


As said, I am thankful to have tried both perfumes out myself through samples and they are both a personal favorite. I don't know what I'll do when I run out!


Have you tired either of the Saint and Sinner perfumes? 
Which side are you?
