YSL Vinyl Couture Mascara Review


I was sent this product to review a little while ago. Even though I do have a go-to drug store mascara, I am always up for trying new things. So I thought, why not?! 


I tried this mascara out and I was looking for the following things: 

Does it give my lashes length? 
Does it give my lashes more volume?
Does it apply nicely?
Does is last all day with no smudging? 

I put it to the test and wore it on some of my busiest days! Read all of my thoughts below...


This mascara is very black, and when applied, it's easy to do and coats my lashes perfectly. I can almost feel the wand lengthening and darkening them one by one. My first impression was: "This is such a great mascara!"

I did one coat, but went back in for a second. It didn't seem to be giving me the volume I am used to with my usual wand. 


One of the first thing I noticed was the gorgeous gold packaging but hello - it's Yves Saint Laurent, so of course it's beautiful! 


I used this product a few times and thought it was great overall, but it was lacking the volume and I missed not having the security of my waterproof mascara. 


Overall, here are the answers to my questions:

Does it give my lashes length? 
YES!

Does it give my lashes more volume?
Not a lot!

Does it apply nicely?

Very much so. 

Does is last all day with no smudging? 
No, but if you were to rub your eyes accidentally, or get a little water in them - it will smear or run.

Special Occasion Dresses

Looking for some beautiful evening wear, but don’t want to over spend?

Rosa Novias is a perfect online location for all things dresses. From wedding gowns, to cocktail dresses - they have it all!

I’ve selected some of my favourite pieces from the site that I will be forever dreaming about. 


This wedding gown is perfectly pretty - with sheer white fabric covering the top and tiny lace detailing throughout the bust, shoulders, waist, and all the way down the skirt of the dress. This is a such a romantically elegant piece to wear for your big day. 

This big and beautiful white dress has a very full skirt, complete with white flower details along the top of the strapless gown. The floral embellishments begin again at the waste line again and cascade down the skirt, subtly stopping, and the rest of the skirt continues. 

This gorgeus gown reminds me of something seen at a celebrity award show. There is so much femininity to this one and I am in love with the strapless top, and overall shape to the dress. It also has a bit of a train at the back, and that increases the elegance, for sure. 


This pink bedazzled mermaid-style dress is perfect for any senior prom or formal "party" event. It has lots of sparkle and shine - and comes in my favourite colour, pink. 

This pastel mint and holographic top dress is the perfect evening wear or cocktail dress. I think it has a futuristic vibe to it and is sure to make a statement. 

This isn't your average "pink princess" gown! It has a unique mermaid-styled tulle bottom to it. The top is also encrusted with rhinestones and giant gems to give it that glitz and glam feel. 

This is a stunning, but more simple dress to go with. It comes in this pretty teal blue/green shade that has a one sided shoulder strap, covered in crystals. So much pretty!
