I thought I would officially introduce a ‘Review It’ installment to Oh She Glows!
In these installments, I will review new beauty, food, health, fashion, & fitness products! :D
First up:
- L’Oreal Bare Naturale Mascara
I got this on sale this weekend when my old mascara ran out. I have huge gripes about mascara that is too thick and clumps, so I was hoping anything called ‘naturale‘ would give me a more natural and clump-free look!
I was quite impressed when I took the wand out. It appeared to be a lot less gunky than most of my new fresh-out-of-the-package mascaras.
Regardless, I always swipe my wand with a Kleenex before using- this is the only way I can get a really natural, clump free look. It also allows me to layer my mascara (usually 2-3 thin coats).
My rating:
- 4/5 Stars
- I was pretty impressed with this mascara and would buy it again.
- No flaking at the end of the day.
A picture says a thousand words:
A natural yet defined look I would say! :D
I will admit, I am a chronic ‘the grass is greener on the other side’ beauty buyer.
I love beauty products and will often stray from my favs just to try out new stuff! It is fun. I do have some mainstays in my loot though. It just depends on my mood (and sales help too!).
Do you have a mascara brand that you’ve been using forever? Or do you prefer to try out new ones?

I never realized how much my tea obsession had gotten out of hand until I unpacked all of it today….
Some teas shown:
Tetley Decaf, Tetley caffeinated, Red Rose, P.C. Organic Peppermint Tea, Candy Cane Lane (my current fav- a decaf green tea inflused with candy cane), Ginger, Vanilla Maple Decaf, Gingerbread Spice, Bigelows Peppermint, etc!
The one tea I can’t find in my area is the Egg’noggin tea! I love eggnog flavour and have been dying to try it out! :( So sad….

I want to leave tonight with a message of the futileness of worry:

Amen!
Don’t worry be Happy!

Goodnight everyone…hope you had a great start to your week :)
Hey Angela,
My fave mascara is Diorshow. It’s pricey but I’ve been using it for years and haven’t been disappointed.
Enjoy the rest of your night!
Sarah
Great review!!
**My favorite mascara = Chanel
I’ve been using Maybelline Great Lash forever.
I think you might have me beat with the teas!! I have soooo many. I need to stop buying them and use up what I have in my cupboard.
I’d love for you to try Neutragena Weightless Volume. It’s the ONLY mascara I have found to give my short little lashes a feathered look without any two lashes touching.
LOL, i realized the same thing about my tea when I moved to boston in october :)
I’ve been using Diorshow by Dior for 5 years. It may be 24 dollars, but I swear it has lasted me a year and beyond, and looks great and never clumps. Since I don’t wear a lot of make-up this mascara highlights my feature I love, my eyes. Try it out, you will never go back to anything else!
I just realized Sarah requested it too, yay!
Just recently came across your site and am excited to read a blog that encompasses so much (life, food, fashion, etc).
To answer your question: I love CoverGirl Lash Exact. The rubber bristles are fantastic and it doesn’t clump (and I wipe the wand before using).
Also, I love your hair! Did you just do the curling iron trick from your previous post? I have such a hard time keeping my hair curled… do you have any tips, or is it just a lot of hairspray?
I have a slight tea obsession, too! I have tons of decaf for night time drinking. What is your favorite kind?
