Maybelline New York Lash Discovery Mini-Brush Washable Mascara

One of the better mascaras

I am generally not too impressed with mascaras, but this was actually pretty good. It defined all my lashes without ending up on my eyelids or under my eyes. I really like the small brush, which is easy to control. It creates a very natural look, which could be good or bad depending on what kind of look you want. It doesn't smudge yet washes off easily. Although it's good, I'm still searching for the best.

CoverGirl NatureLuxe Gloss Balm

Great lipstick replacement

I love this balm. It moisturizes while delivering a nice shine in several good colors. They are sheer enough for everyday wear and have an SPF of 15, which is a plus. The only problem is that the cap keeps falling off.

Wet n Wild MegaProtein Mascara

Too Watery

This, like every mascara, has its pros and cons. Except with waaay more cons than pros. PROS: -extremely washable, came off with plain water CONS: -not black enough -smudged all over -got INTO my eyes!!! -smelled bad -never dried -did nothing whatsoever to actually improve the appearance of my lashes. In conclusion... will I be buying this again? Definitely NOT should you buy this? again, Definitely NOT

L'Oreal Paris Colour Juice Sheer Juicy Lip Gloss

Not that great

I was expecting better from this gloss since some of my friends really like it and I like L'Oreal in general, but it was too sticky, had an overly cloying scent, the applicator was really weird, and the colors were too bright pink. I will not be buying this in the future.

Burt's Bees Lip Shimmer

Shimmer...

I got a set of three from my vegan eco-friendly friend-- champagne, watermelon, and rhubarb. They had a nice texture, and were very moisturizing. The watermelon was okay, but the rhubarb was a tad too pink and the champagne was five billion times too shimmery. I would definitely not have bought them for myself and will not in the future.

Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm

Minty

I love Burt's Bees because it's minty, softens lips, keeps them moisturized, and has a slight shine. Yes, it is a bit waxy, but it's made of beeswax, what else would you expect? I love that it's all-natural.

CoverGirl Outlast Double LipShine

Can't Stand

The Lipstick part is feathery, grainy, fake-looking, too bright, pretty much everything you DON't want in a lipstick. However, the clear gloss was nice, when I tried it over another of my lipsticks.

Almay Intense i-Color Bring Out Powder Shadow

Nice colors

I bought the shadows for brown eyes and they're good colors, really, but the little sponge applicator was flimsy. It worked well with my makeup brushes, though.

Almay One Coat Triple Effect Mascara

Pretty Good

I got this mascara in dark brown and I'm satisfied since it makes my lashes noticeably longer and thicker, but the formula's kind of heavy and it couldn't hold a curl.

N.Y.C. New York Color Lengthening Mascara

What you'd expect from a Drugstore

This mascara is nice; it doesn't clump or flake for the first half hour, but it doesn't hold a curl, and after a while it ends up under my eyes. I have to check on it a lot. I guess this is expected from a drugstore mascara... and also it kind of smells.
