2011 Blog Sale

Hey Glamouristas! It's been too long, I know... so much going on with me lately. 2011 has just NOT been my year. Hope you're all doing great. We have so much catching up to do! :)

So here it is... the 2011 Blog sale. I decided to clear out a gang of Bare Escentuals mineral eye shadow and blush products because I never use them and I figure that someone should be getting some use out of these fabulous colors. My best friend and I used to be really into BE. I spent hundreds, if not thousands of dollars on BE products throughout the years. I used to like their mineral foundation years ago while living in Hawai'i... but now that I live in Vegas and the air is so dry, I've switched to liquid foundations.

Now, I know there's been a BE "hate" vid circulating YT with some lady ranting on how stupid BE users are... to that I say "to each, his/her own". Whatever works for you is what works. I know that living in Hawai'i with the humidity and heat, a lot of liquid, creme, powder, and creme-to-powder foundations wouldn't hold up well without you having to retouch your powder every 30 minutes and after a few hours, your skin was packed with layers upon layers of product and it ended up looking rather cakey. With BE, I NEVER had that problem. Granted, I don't have bad skin, but my cousin, who has acne-prone skin and is very oily, also loved BE. It provided the right amount of coverage and remained matte throughout the day. Anyhooooo, I know quite a few people who don't use the foundation but love BE shadows...

Whew! I kinda got off topic here... bring me back, here we go! LOL The reason you're here is to check out the products I'm going to be selling. I'll be going through more make-up products over the coming months, so make sure that you follow the blog, if you're not already.

These products have been barely used, maybe swatched a few times, if that. As always, the prices are very fair, so please don't low-ball... not cool. ;)

If you're interested in purchasing, please comment the post or email me at: harajukuhunnies@gmail.com w/ subject line "Blog Sale"... Shipping will be $3 flat-rate Domestic, $5 International, so it doesn't matter how much you buy... even if shipping exceeds $3 for Domestic or $5 International, I'll pay the difference. Payments will be accepted through PayPal only, I will provide you with instructions once we agree on the sale. First to pay gets the item. Please let me know if you have any questions... Thanks! :)

xoxo Trinity

All Women Want Long, Thick, Strong, and SexXxy... LASHES! ;)

Hey Glamouristas and Fexies!!


So for months I've been teasing you all, saying I've been experimenting with a lash-growth treatment and for months you all have been asking what it was... but I refused to say anything until I was certain it was going to work and that I had enough time with the product to give it a thorough review. This included the positive and possible negative effects... don't you love that I'd put my eye-health on the line for my lovely blog readers? LOL j/p ;-P


The time has come for me to unveil this miracle growth treatment I've been using religiously since September... it is... (drumroll please!) StimuLash by Fusion Beauty!


This product retails at Sephora for $89, but is well worth the investment if you calcuate the cost of mascaras and falsies, especially if you've been purchasing mascaras like Fiber Wig that can run upward of $20 or more per tube. StimuLash is an even better deal if you catch it with one of Sephora's VIB sales! However, even if you have to pay full price, it's worth every dollar. I am still using my original tube, and with the amount of product I can hear sloshing around in there, I estimate I've got a good 1 1/2 months left... that breaks down to roughly $15/mo. When you average the cost out, it's really not bad. Think about it, say you purchase a tube of fiber mascara at $20 a tube, over the course of 6 months, you've spent $120, plus you're probably still wearing falsies... so now factor in the cost of lashes and glue, not to mention that at the end of the night you'll be suffering from Cinerella sydrome. You know what I'm talking about, when the clock strikes 12 and you go to take off your eye make-up, your strong, thick, lashes are going to turn into itty-bitty mousey lashes!


A little history on these types of products... Once upon a time, there were these little old ladies with cataracts. No, not Cadillacs, cataracts! Opthamologists began noticing these little old ladies' lashes were growing like crazy. One thing leads to another and before you know it, they've discovered the ingredient responsible for the lash growth... aaaaand here we are!


I was very skeptical to try the perscription lash treatments because they came with some pretty scary warnings. One of these warnings were "permanent darkening of the skin" where the treatment is applied. Well, as you'll hear in my video, this is something I'm willing to live with because I'm usually wearing eyeliner anyway!


If you would like to see my before and after pictures, be sure you watch the video... and as always, if you would be so kind enough to follow my blog and subscribe to my YouTube channel, I will be forever grateful! :) Please also be sure to let me know if you've tried the product, I especially would like to hear from you if this review has prompted you to purchase StimuLash!
