CoverGirl LashBlast Fusion Mascara

part of my favorite combo

LOVE this mascara, especially when used with loreal voluminous carbon black. I didn't think I was much of a fan of the plastic thick brushes, but it turns out with this formula its great. I like to let mine get a little dry, so after about a week or so the consistency is perfect.

Rimmel London Glam Eyes Day 2 Night Mascara

all rimmel mascaras..

leave my lashes too crunchy and hard, especially this one. I do keep wearing it though because the effect it gives is nice, plus I think the packaging is really cute. I got it on sale for 4 dollars... if I had bought it for 8 I think I would have been a little more critical (but not much) overall its a nice mascara, and a great dupe for the mac mascara

Rimmel London Lash Accelerator Mascara

no growth

with this i did not notice any growth.. maybe I didn't use it long enough? Anyway its just average, but made my lashes crunchy.

Rimmel London Lycra Lash Extender Mascara

too natural

this really only darkens and defines my lashes. I like a dramatic mascara, but it leaves the lashes really soft so I tend to use it underneath mascaras for a first coat.

Maybelline New York Lash Stiletto Ultimate Length Washable Mascara

cool brush but..

The idea of the brush is really cool and I really enjoyed the shiny black finish that the mascara gave my lashes but it made them too crunch and brittle. It also had a tendency to clump my lashes and it was kind of a pain to apply, you had to be very careful as to not mess up your eye and have to start completely over

L'Oreal Paris Voluminous Original Mascara

great for layering

I love this mascara for one thing... layering. It's a great variable to add to any new mascara that I'm not totally in love with. This mascara totally transforms my lashes when used with any so/so mascara. It really gives me extra length/volume

Maybelline New York One by One by Volum' Express Washable Mascara

in love

I've always been a drugstore mascara junkie, buying tons and eventually letting them dry out never using them bc they aren't what they claim to be. This mascara however is AWESOME! Gives me great length awesome volume without clumps. The trick to applying is you have to do 2 coats quickly, or thats where the clumping can begin. I also love that it's fairly easy to remove. It has a nice rose scent to it too that I really enjoy

N.Y.C. New York Color Smooth Skin Bronzing Face Powder

Pretty good for $

This bronzer is a great value, smooth and matte which is great for contouring. I wish it came in a darker shade though, bc in the summer it doesn't show up on my skin at all. Also, don't bother using the sponge, your MUCH better off with a brush. I like that it comes with a mirror though.

Essie Nail Polish

All time favorite brand

Essie makes my favorite nail colors! I love love love these polishes. The quality is amazing, the color selection is fabulous (I especially love their selection of neutral shades, which I am a sucker for) I only wish the brushes were a tad bit bigger. But overall, my all time favorite nail polish! <3

Sally Hansen Insta-Dry Fast Dry Nail Color

great brushes

I have to say that I absolutely love the brushes that come with these nailpolishes, it makes painting your nails so much faster. But, I find the consistency of the polish to be a bit goopy. The color selection is beautiful though. I'll have to play around with them a little bit more. But I do really love the colors.
