Fysiko' EyeLash Growth Serum - 2 weeks

First of all, THANK YOU INFLUENSTER!!!!

Several weeks ago, I completed a survey sent to me by influenster.com Based on my answers, I qualified to participate in a "testing" program of Fysiko' EyeLash Serum. Influenster sent me a tube of the serum for free with the agreement that I would commit to using it daily for 16 weeks (no problemo!) and post at least four reviews on my blog and / or various social media outlets that I belong to (no problemo #2!).

I was excited to receive / qualify for this for a few reasons... one, it's free, man! And who doesn't like free stuff!!! Two, I did a little reviewing myself before my tube arrived and ohmygoodness! the price of this stuff is waaay beyond my measley teacher's salary!! Lastly, I have missed blogging and I thought if nothing else (even if all of my eyelashes fall out from using this stuff) I will be "forced" to get back to bloggin'!!!

So, here I am... in all my glory (not! as you will see), posting my first review of the Fysiko' EyeLash Serum. I began using it on May 13th (that'll be two weeks tomorrow - really, don't strain yourself trying to do the math - I got ya... just another service I offer here on uselessramblings.com). It is a clear serum that comes in a tube much like liquid eyeliner. For those of you who don't use liquid eyeliner (me!), it's really no big deal and I try(!) to demo the application in the video below. You are supposed to apply it at least once each day, they recommend applying it at night. If you chose to apply it two times daily, you are supposed to wait at least 15 minutes before applying any eye makeup. Right now, I'm going for the once daily at night.

Link to my video review here (don't laugh!)... you promised not to laugh, remember!!??!!

So... two weeks in and I honestly do not have an opinion one way or the other. My eyelashes are still there, so I guess that's a positive, right? (I see in the video that there is one straggler that is on my right eyelid - pay it no attention, it does that occasionally... always trying to be the scene stealer, the little buggar!). Fortunately, I was blessed with pretty decent eyelashes of my own, so if nothing happens, I don't suppose I'll be too disappointed.

That's all I've got for now. Fourteen more weeks to go, I have no idea how 'regular' these posts will be, but I promise to fulfill my commitment and you'll get at least three more :)

Thanks for stopping by...

 

I know I keep saying this...

... but I really am going to make it a point to do better with my blog. I have a ton of posts in my head, I just need to get better about getting them on my blog.

I've never thought myself a very good writer. Trouble is, when I sit down and start a post, I find myself spending way too much time using the backspace and / or delete keys instead of just letting it flow, if you know what I mean. I don't practice what I preach. I'm a huge fan of journaling and free-writing and whenever I suggest it, I always encourage the writer to write as if nobody else in the world will every read it. That's what I need to do on here - yeah right!

Actually, truth is not really far from that. All two of you would love me no matter what I said (write / type), so I really could write as if nobody else would see it...

Hmmm... food for thought.

Update

I keep saying I'm going to get better at keeping this blog up. Life just gets in the way sometimes... Anyway - here's how they've grown...

Jeez?!?! Update much?

So, it hasn't quite been a full year. Almost.

I know I keep sayin' this, but I've really gotta get better about blogging. Not that anyone really gives two hoots about what's going on in Jodie-World, but it's just nice to have a place to put it all.

And, yeah, I guess there's a lot to 'put'. Just finding the time lately seems to be an impossible task.

Since I last posted (December 2008!), a lot has happened. Stuff that I used to put here, but for whatever reason, didn't this time. New Years came and went. Spring. Summer, including our 4 week European vacay (*lots* to post about that :) )! Back to school. Baby's in 1st grade!!

So, I'll try to do better... if nothing else, to have a place to look back on it all :)

Merry Christmas

I hope your Christmas was as special and memorable as mine. Best wishes in the New Year!!

Yes We Did!

I honestly can not remember a time in my life when I have been so proud to be an American. Congratulations, President Obama!!!
