L'Oreal Paris Voluminous Butterfly Mascara

I'm a big fan of drugstore mascaras because it doesn't hurt when you throw them away frequently. My current favourite is the L'Oreal Paris Voluminous Butterfly Mascara in Blackest Black, the waterproof version. What I look for in a mascara:

- Smudge proof

- Keep my lashes curled

- Define and add volume to my lashes

I've tried the regular, non-waterproof version and found that it doesn't hold the curl of my lashes as well as the waterproof. It's harder to remove, but since I don't wear mascara on a daily basis so I'm ok with that. 

There's a difference! You can see my lashes! I would repurchase. 

Clothing Swap Party!

My very talented and creative friend J (also the author of the blog Transformed) hosts a clothing swap party every half year with her sister, and I was lucky enough to be invited to these events. See how she organizes the event here.

A clothing swap party means just that -- we bring items that we feel are still cute but we don't wear much anymore, and we "swap" with other members of the party. I think this is a great way to "freshen" up your wardrobe. As the saying goes, "one [person]'s trash is another [person]'s treasure!" ...

I left the party with a couple of cute items and a happy tummy. I can't wait until the next swap party!
