Most of the products I’m reviewing are from hauls I’ve been sharing over the last few months. I’ve made sure that I tested each item out at least 3 times to get a good impression on how it works on me.
Now this mascara is very interesting. It has rubber bristles on one side and what makes it unique is the wand bends 90 degrees. I do like the formula of the mascara and love how intensely black it is.
The look it gave on my eyes was very wispy and flirty. My lashes were evenly covered and nicely fanned out. My only downside is that it didn’t make them appear any thicker or super voluminous which is what I really like. I think it makes a great everyday mascara and looks really beautiful for a softer look, however, if I want something more dramatic, which is what I prefer, I will have to use something else in my collection.
I’m happy I was able to give this mascara a try. I’m not sure if I will purchase this particular one again. It retails for $38.00 CAD and I don’t think it gave me what I desire in a mascara. I did like the formula so I wonder if I might prefer one of the other mascaras Givenchy has to offer.
I was lucky enough to receive complimentary samples of the Kat Von D Saint and Sinner Fragrances through Influenster which I’ve had a chance to enjoy over the past month.
Even the bottles themselves are shaped like little potion bottles. Now this is nothing compared to the full-size bottles you can get at Sephora or on Kat Von D’s website which are absolutely stunning. Take a look at Kat’s amazing artwork below.
I was pretty skeptical about how I was going to like these scents but after learning that these scents were originally discontinued by Kat Von D Beauty and then brought back by the sheer number of requests by fans I was intrigued to try it out.
Saint is described as soft, alluring, and dreamy on the Sephora website. The key notes of this are vanilla, musk, and jasmine. I am so in love with this scent. I usually don’t like vanilla scents but this one is way more muted and fresh in my opinion. Not sweet like I would usually find in vanilla scents at all. I loved this for the day time because it was just really beautiful and light. You do get that bit of jasmine and musk in there two which are really appealing to me. This is definitely my type of daytime scent. Very soft and clean. 
Sinner is dark, sultry, and empowering according to the Sephora website. Key notes include; patchouli, wood, cinnamon. I think the description of this matches the scent perfectly. It’s definitely the more sexier of the two scents. I really do like this as an evening scent because it packs a punch without being too sweet or overbearing and it will last you the whole night through. Whenever I smell this it really reminds me of Thierry Mugler because it’s unique while totally being wearable. If you remember my post about the 
So which to do I prefer? Honestly, they both will serve their own purpose. Saint being my every day scent and Sinner as my special occasion smell. Since I would probably wear it more I am leaning towards Saint as my favourite of the two but it only beats Sinner by a hair. Either way, if you love parfums I would completely recommend testing them out the next time you are at Sephora.
