Vanitymark Mascara ~Updated pics!

I received a Vanitymark mascara in each of the boxes/bags I had gotten from this month's My Pretty Pink Box. I'm always trying to find the perfect mascara and this product aims at achieving this label. The packaging claims that this mascara is the blackest mascara on earth, quickly dries between coats and is weatherproof. It also says that it has flexi-lastin added to its formula so that you can freely curl your lashes after putting on the product.

Loved the simple packaging and rubberized feel of the tube.

Here are my before pics, no curling or any primer applied:

And here are the after pics, only having curled and applied Vanitymark:

I do think that I have a few more coats of Vanitymark on for the pics below than in the pics above:

After, re-curling with Vanitymark on :

Vanitymark did deliver on many of it's claims. It did darken my lashes, although I don't know if I would say it's the"blackest" on earth. I tend to add multiple coats of mascara on my lashes and there were no problems with clumps. It did leave a nice shine to my lashes and I do love that it was flake and smudge free after wearing it all day. I recently discovered that there were mascaras that irritated my eyes after a few hours, but I was able to wear Vanitymark all day without any problems. I don't normally try to re-curl my lashes after first applying them, but when I tried, my lashes did hold the re-curling quite well.

My only drawback to this mascara is in regards to lengthening and volume, I was not completely wowed by this product. The darkening and shine did help to define my lashes better but I would not say it made them look amazingly more voluminous or longer.

Overall, I am very pleased by Vanitymark mascara and I think it's a great everyday option. It gave very good definition, nice shine and comfortable smudge/flake-free wear all day. The option to re-curl to freshen up my lashes after a few hours is also a nice feature. I'm defintely glad that it was in this month's My Pretty Pink Box!

My Pretty Pink Box - March

Yay! I finally got my March pretty pink box- they are indeed quite pretty and pink. I had gotten 3 boxes and sample bags. Not all for me, I do share the wealth. Although I do try to get dibs on things! Here's the rundown of all the boxes.

In all 3 boxes were the following: Vanitymark the lash mascara in blackest, Awake pore smoothing perfect serum sample and Sweet beauty organic lip balm in inspire-a mocha flavor.

Box #1
-Body Patisserie full sized grasshopper mousse body glace: A chocolate with a hint of mint scented body oil. I tested some out and the oil does sink right in your skin and made it soft, however the chocolate scent was too strong for me. I only put it on my hand and it was pretty potent, I can't imagine putting it all over my body-just not the right scent for me.

-Giella $10 gift certificate and blush sample in CPJB48 (soft pink color)
-Adure brightening stretch mark creme sample

-Roselyn scent light-n-sweet sea sat sample
-Sweet beauty organic lip balm in inspire-a mocha flavor

Box#2
-Spa Secrets full sized bath sundae. There is a lavender & Chamomile milk bath with scoop and exfoliating puff. I loved the scent of lavender but alas, I'm not a bath type.

-Helio Minerals natural sunscreen sample in medium

-MK signature sample card with eye shadow, cheek and lipstick samples

-Adure tummy flattening gel sample

Box #3
-Berwick coming up roses restoring full sized night cream. I'm excited for this product, it claims to soothe and calm your skin while detoxifying it.
Update: I've been using this cream for the past few nights and I have notice waking up to softer skin. The rose scent is a bit strong at first but it does fade, the cream sinks in nicely and I don't wake up with tight skin in the morning.
-Adure stretch mark creme sample

- Giella $10 gift certificate with LGW48 gloss sample and concealer #1 sample
-Eyeko face off Cleansing Wipes x2
Update: This wipe is very gentle but effective at removing make-up. Each packet contains a good sized wipe that easily took off all eye and face make up without excessive rubbing. My face felt very comfortable and smooth after using it. This product will be excellent for lazy days when I don't want to wash my face with cleanser.

All three gift bags had a Vanitymark mascara. In the first bag, there was also a happy bunny lip gloss in vanilla whip. The second bag had a happy bunny lip gloss in cotton candy. The third had an Adure fairness creme sample.

Each box was $11.99 plus shipping and each sample bag was $4.00 plus shipping. I was definitely glad I participate this month and can't wait to try out the goodies.
