Mascara Review #8...

So I think this may be my Holy Grail Mascara! This product is just about perfect except for the price. It is pretty expensive at $24.50, but is by far the best of the mascaras I've reviewed, by a lot. It goes on super rich and creamy, a very dark, dark black. No clumps or big chucky globs at the end of the wand. The wand has a really wonderful brush that coats each lash and applies the perfect amount. No big spider lashes. No having to go back in with a lash comb to separate. I had no flaking with this product either, which seems to be a problem I've been having lately. I felt almost like I had on falsies my lashes looked so perfect. A big thumbs up on this one!

Mascara Review #7...

Benefit BAD GAL LASH

This is a much more expensive mascara than past reviews. This one goes for $18 and can be found at benefit stores (just 2 located downtown Chicago), Macy's and Sephora. The brush on this sucker is HUGE! I got it in black but also comes in brown, blue and I believe a purple. Very deep black color that really makes eyes pop. Goes on extremly smooth and coats every lash. Not clumpy or gloppy at all. For such a big brush I expected it to be messy and hard to reach inner lashes. Not the case at all. I found my eyes to look very dramatic without having to put very much on. Yes, expensive for mascara! But a fun splurge for very dramatic eyes.

Mascara Review #2...

L'Oreal voluminous curved brush


Wore the L'oreal voluminous mascara on new years eye. I was going to wear false eyelashes, which I usually do when I go out, but didn't need to. I love the curved brush! Gets all the lashes. Very nice dark black color, not tarry or sticky. No funny smell. Made my lashes look 10 times bigger at least. Stayed on all night with no problems, no smears or flakes. Also, big plus for me, came off really easy with remover. No scrubbing at all. Loved this mascasara!!! Great price for such a lush mascara. Reg price is 6.99 but on sale for about 4.99 at Ulta right now. Available at drugstores. Will rebuy for sure.

Mascara Review #1...

Maybelline LASH STILETTO
   This has an average size brush, and went on very smooth. It has a kind of funky smell, but nothing bad or horrible. The color is a nice dark black. I got the regular and not the waterproof, as I'm not a fan of scrubbing at my lashes at night to get mascara off. The lashes looked fine, nothing extraordinary. Looked like regular made up lashes. It wore ok for most of the day but then toward the end of my night it started flaking really bad. Like, really bad. It was in black flakey bits all over my face and got in my eyes. Thought maybe It was just a long day or something and tryed again the next day...same problem. So, I'd have to say, this is not my holy grail mascara. The package is so cute and looks like the heal to a stiletto and is black and shiney red. The price is great at like 6 bucks or something. With coupons less. So, I won't buy this again. The search continues...

Coming soon...

I just bought about 10 different mascaras from Ulta. There was a huge buy 2 get 2 free deal and had a coupon and gift card and blah, blah, blah. Like I need an excuse to buy makeup, right? Anyway, I will be doing a bunch of mascara reviews. I will be reviewing drugstore as well as highend products. I really hate spending money on mascara, so lets see if those drugstore brands are just as good as the expensive ones...I may finally even do a video! I have a new little pink laptop and I need to try the webcam out.

The next round of reviews will be foundations.
