REVIEW: Mia Adora 3D Fiber Lashes Mascara

So here is my newest review here on the blog.  It's mascara!   I had a heckuva time getting a good picture, so bear with me!

This Mia Adora, I thought was going to be your average Fiber mascara, but I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't!

It actually worked! 

Please understand that I have pretty much NO lashes thanks to medication that I'm taking and the one thing I miss is being able to "Tammy Faye" it up with some mascara!   Well now I can and I'm excited.

In the picture you will see that I have applied the Mia Adora on just one eye, so you can see the difference!  I had some issues with the angle but I think you will be able to see it.

Can you tell?  And please excuse the nose.

I'm so excited to do both and add a little eyeliner and shadow.

So the process itself was really super easy.   You put on a coat of the Magnifying Gel, wait a moment, then put on the Natural Fibers, then follow with some more Gel to seal up the Fibers.   You and do this process as many times as you like to get the lashes  you want.  By the time I was finished, my lashes were bonking against my glasses!  Yay!

Here are both eyes done... with a little extra.

 I decided to do that one in sunlight.

So over all the Mia Adora 3D Fiber Lashes get a 5 out of 5 stars from me because it makes me look like I have lashes again! 

Oh and it comes off as easily as it goes on!  I use eye makeup remover out of habit, but I really didn't need it with this product.

Now get on Amazon and get some!





DISCLAIMER:  I received this product for free in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

Influencing update

Hey there!  I don't think I have told you about this one thing that I am testing right now.   It's the Arm&Hammer Truly Radiant tooth products!

I was sent a  tube of toothpaste, a bottle of rinse and a manual Spin brush!

It was awesome.  Unfortunately long story short, the who regimen did not work for me.  Using the toothpaste and rinse together cause my mouth to burn.   A little disappointing.


But I do have to say that the toothpaste and even the rinse used after brushing with simple baking soda worked so well for me!  I'm excited!  So excited, I will show you my teeth!

Friday Wrap up

Hello there!

This week I have been just silly about joining sites that will let me try new products at a discount in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

I have been getting things slowly and practicing my review skills, but now I'm taking the big plunge and getting more serious.

In the coming days I will share some links of where to go to review, but for now, check out what I'm review this week!

 

I will let you know how they work!

Where did she go and why is she not in the handbasket?

Hi there!   Well so...uh... yeah.  I have been on an Odyssey  of sorts and have not been a good blogger at all.   I really didn't know what to do!

I think I may have a better idea and since no one is watching this one.  I'm going to try my hand at a few things.

First of all, I'm learning about blogging, so I'm going to practice here.

And I'm really having an awesome time  trying new products and reviewing them on Amazon, but I thought I would try reviewing them here to see how I do.   I would love to some day soon consider myself an "INFLUENCER"! Yeah!


So wish me luck! 

Where the heck has she been for 2 years?

Well... that's pretty simple... I have NOT been blogging!  In fact, I lost my login info for *All* my blogs!  Yes, I said all because I have "started" more than one blog and haven't kept up with any.... so lame.

So, I'm going to experiment for a  few weeks with each and then decide which one I like te best!

The look of this one may change several times as I decide wat I'm going to... but no one is reading this yet.

What is going on?

Trying to figure out why I can't post comments on other blogs...

"Help" files are not helpful...

Um...yeah...

So... um.. this is the deal. I forgot where this blog was located. (and like a goof didn't have it bookmarked) And then I found it, but didn't remember the password!

So since I have been away from this blog, a lot has gone on...

First in February I was laid off from my job. No suprise there, I had made an effort of getting off the team I was on and was refused. They basically hated me after that and I was nit picked to death on my QA's to the point where it finally made it look like I couldn't do my job well. Hello? How much brains does it really take to sit and listen to people yell at you because they want something free? Seriously! So goodbye to a crap job... hello to unemployment. I got a fairly decent severance package, so whatever.

Me and Mr. Perfect were planning to get married this year in July! But with me and no job and COBRA costing WAAAAY too much money, he suggested that we get married earlier. Bless him!

And so we did!

I'll post more a little later, I hope... gotta remember to book mark this thing!

So not in the habit...

I'm just not in the blog habit! I keep forgetting that it's here!

So... let's see. I went back to work on Oct 8th. It took me nearly 3 weeks to get my rhythym back. Oh and get this, I got back the 8th, right? That was a wednesday....by Saturday I was feeling kinda gross...but Sunday night, I had a fever. The fever didn't break until sometime Tuesday. Needless to say I didn't go to work Monday and Tuesday. I came back to a verbal warning that I could get written up if I missed any more days and did not have the sick time to cover them. They ended up making me used 2 days of vacation. pfft.

Then two weeks ago, I slipped on some frost in my driveway, fell flat on my back and during the fall slammed my head against the bumper of my other car and my earring was ripped out. I stayed my ass home that day. Well... guess what? That's right, I got written up! The day I came back from Thanksgiving no less.

So NOW the call center is very slow and they are begging to take days off... AND allowing you to do them unpaid if you want. Heh... I totally went through my budget to figure out how many I could take. I may not be happy with my paycheck on Friday, but I don't care. Well...I sort of don't care...LOL

I need to just keep my head down and muddle through the next few months and see what's going to happen with that company.... bah!

Back to work

Wow... I obviously got very preoccupied and neglected my blog which I thought I would be SO good about keeping up... bah!

Since my last post I have actually had surgery for my HS. That was an interesting journey... I got talk to a surgeon who belabored the point that I needed keep up on my hygiene! WHAT?!! you dumbass, I have HS! Which causes boils that drain constantly...those constantly draining boils drain puss that smells putrid! Good Lord, don't you think I KNOW about hygiene? Hell, I'm afraid to stand close to people because I never know when something is going to drain and that awful smell with waft up from me! I didn't go to see my Chiropractor for 6 months, much to my OWN demise because a boil broke during an adjustment and I smelled horrible and was SO embarrassed! And this jerk lectures me about hygiene.... grrr!

At any rate, after hearing how the surgery will not CURE my HS, he agreed to do it. It was done on August 28th. The surgeon said that it was going to be a 8-10 week healing period because HS heals slowly.... yeah well 4 weeks later he is telling me that I can go back to work! lol Dumbass!

I'm fast healer! I TOLD him that I was fast healer, he said that due to my age and my obesity, not to expect to heal quickly. mmhmm...whatever!

So now I'm back to work on October 8th. Yuck! I really should be glad that I have a job and I keep telling myself that. The job market is tough on fat black women who have not let themselves reach their full potential. I know that... gosh do I KNOW that! Even where I work... supposedly the last bastion of touchy feely work environments that "celebrate" all workers, I am treated like an idiot and looked at with hateful/mocking eyes from these young, white male jerks who are so full of thier own hype, no one exists in their worlds. All I can say is that I'm tired.

Corporate America is not a friendly place and I'm afraid that I just don't have the fight in me that I used to have. I'm tired of the double standards, the emotional bullying and people hiding behind "policy" to discount and ignore people just trying to do their jobs well.

I just don't know where I belong anymore... it's so sad...

Aren't you feeling better?

The few people with whom I speak from my job site have asked me this question in regard to my taking 4 months off from work.

Hmm.... well yes and no. As far as my general health, yes! there is definitely some improvement, I'm consciously eating better, I'm exercising more, I'm losing a little weight and generally feeling a bit more rested.

As far as my HS, well no... I'm still having outbreaks and they still hurt like the dickens and it's moved back to my face again! Now I have found that my HS tends to show on my face as more a result of concentrated and intense stress. Since my doctor is having to cut back on my steroid injections, I pretty much have to live with the outbreaks on my face... yuck!

As far as my stress relief from work...absolutely NOT. I have been out of the office for a month now and my place of employment has been dragging out the approval process for my leave...which in turn has not helped my stress level.

So I'm now 6 weeks into my leave, I still have not achieved the benchmark I had wanted to achieve by now and my motivation level is still not where I would like it to be... I still have 10 weeks to go.

Hidranenitus Suppurativa

Dammit what a long name! Most people just call it HS. It's what I have. It's why I am here, I guess....home, I mean... on a medical leave.

Yeah, I'm home on a 4 month medical leave from work to heal and create a more healthy me. So far, I'm only doing marginally well at it.

My fiance bought us a WiiFit to encourage us both to pay attention to our bodies and focus on losing some weight. It's working...kind of. I started so "gung ho" and proceeded to injure my knees to the point of barely walking... dumb move....yeah I know. He also bought us an eliptical machine on which to exercise.n So far I've been pretty intermittent about using it....pfft, I suck.

Anyway, this HS is a bitch to have. It hurts. Basically I get absesses or "boils" on my skin in the "warm and fat" places on my body. Right now it's pretty much anywhere! I've been told by my doctor that I'm one of the "lucky" ones because for me it also appears on my face.

It's a not fun disease and there are many theories on how to cure/ arrest it. I'm in the process of trying several, the main one being weight loss. The main problem is that is that I'm lazy as hell! I keep telling myself what I should be doing and really don't follow through with regularity. It's so sad.

It's the best explaination that I have found so far...

First real and true blog post

Well, now I have a blog. I have been threatening to make one!


First of all... just so you know, this blog is kinda personal. So if you know me just a little, I may say things that may surprise you to know about me. If you DO know me, it may not surprise you, but may make you concerned. Don't be...

I just want to speak my mind and hopefully some kind stranger will comment and possibly give me the clarity only an outsider can give... LOL or not.

If I gave you this address, obviously I don't mind if you read this and comment. In fact I would rather enjoy it if you did. If you just happened to find it...hey you go ahead and comment too!

I'm just working some stuff out in my head and hopefully will come to some ideas on how to act on the "stuff" in my life...
