Finally! "Tubing" formula at Drugstore prices!

I have long loved "Kiss Me" mascara, which was the only one I'd known about that actually forms little tubes around your lashes. It makes it virtually impossible for it to smudge or flake, so you NEVER end up with raccoon eyes. However, the "Kiss Me" kind really lacked in length and volume, so I stopped spending the cash for lack of raccoon eyes alone. However, L'Oreal has now got the same tubing formula to actually pump up my lashes, and YES, it lengthens them too! I wasn't sure if it'd stand up to Department Store versions, but it does. I've found that if I put the base coat on smoothly, and follow right away with the regular black mascara, I get great results. And a warm soaked cottonball really does take it off. And it WON'T come off until then! Go ahead and rub your eyes all you want during the day, no raccoon eyes!

I'm tossing this one!

What is the use of a "new and improved" brush if it comes out of the tube completely caked in mascara? There is no "scraping off" device in the tube opening, so it really defeats the purpose. Sure, you can use a kleenex to wipe off the excess, but then you're wasting 80% of the product. Not to mention, there are so many good mascaras out there that don't require this extra step, so why bother with this? I guess it'd be excusable if the mascara itself was magnificent after the wipe-off, but it isn't. It's nothing special, and it makes your lashes stick together. Pass on this one!

Great color & coverage, so-so staying power.

I really love how smooth the powder goes on. With an eyeliner brush, it's so simple to get very precise flawless professional-looking eyeliner. I used it both dry, and with a drop of water or visine to make it a liquid liner. I had a soft look with the dry, and a hard edge with the wet. Perfect. My only complaint is it's staying power. After only a couple of hours, I'd get a little duplicated line on my eyelid, where my lid touches the lined part of my lashline when my eyes are open. Like a little copy of the liner, but in the wrong spot. It looks very silly! I didn't try it with the "Weather everything" liner sealer, maybe that would make a difference. But dry? Nope. Also, by the end of the day it had mostly worn off, leaving just a dark thin line in my lashes. If this had better staying power, it'd get a 10+ from me!

My New Favorite!

I had doubts that any mascara could take me away from CoverGirl LashBlast, but this did it! I get uber-huge lashes with volume & length, and it doesn't flake one bit. It does get a little clumpy after a few weeks, and it has a bit of a strong smell when wet, but other than that it's really great.

Alright, but not as good as the non-waterproof kind

I really love the regular version of this mascara, so I decided to give the waterproof version a shot, since I spend a lot of time in the pool. Well, it works okay, but it really clumps a lot on the brush, and on my lashes. I most likely will just stick to the regular version from now on.

One of the best!

Despite my wanderlust when it comes to trying different mascaras, this is one I can always count on. It goes on great, for a very dramatic effect. It never flakes on me, and never clumps. One gripe? It dries out a little faster than other mascaras, so I end up buying it a bit more often. But it's worth it.

My Go-to Mascara.

Honestly, nothing I've ever found beats this. It really lengthens and fattens up my lashes, it doesn't clump (until the bottle drys up), and it goes on smooth. There is nothing that works better, and adds more drama to your eyes! It does dry out a bit faster than other tubes, so I end up having to buy it more often, but it's totally worth it.

Good color, but too waxy looking

I'm always looking for a natural looking lipstick, that gives me the natural "nude" of my lips, without the waxy sparkles going on. I bought the "Made for me Naturals" in Nude based off a magazine ad that looked awesome, and was disappointed. Sure, the color was a great match for my coloring, but it still has that waxy shimmery finish. So I don't think I'll use it again. But if you don't mind that waxy look, then these colors really are flattering.

Best Bobbypins I've ever Used!

I have pretty thick hair, and getting it to stay in place is a major battle. These bobby slides can hold an amazing amount of hair, tightly and evenly! They're not flimsy at all like "regular" bobby pins, and they look chic in your hair. I use them to hold back bangs, or even hold my hair in a bun. My thick hair stays in a bun with only ONE of these babies!

My Favorite Bronzer

This bronzer stands out from the rest, especially from the drugstore brands. I didn't use the little puff pad it comes with, I prefer to use a nice blush brush. It does go on a bit dark, so if you have light skin, use it sparingly. A lot goes a long way!
