Two Mascara Reviews!

I don't know if I have mentioned this before, but I have a bit of a mascara obsession, and I know I'm not the only one! So I am going to review two mascaras-- the one I have been using (Revlon Grow Luscious Plumping) and the one I bought today (Maybelline Colossal Volume).


Revlon Grow Luscious Plumping Mascara:

I like this one because it goes on very smoothly, but it can clump really easily. Also, I have to work really hard to get my corner lashes. 

Maybelline Colossal Volume:

Although this one gets my corner lashes more easily, it isn't as dramatic as the Revlon. However, it does look more natural.

Both seem like good mascaras, so it just depends on what type of formula you prefer!

Fancy Shmancy

Well hello there! I got to get all dolled up this weekend, and I thought that I would share the process with you guys!

The makeup I used:
- Revlon Colorstay Creme Eyeliner in 001 Black
- Buxom Stay-There Eye Shadow in Cocker Spaniel
- Too Faced Full Bloom Blush in Cocoa Rose
- Too Faced Beauty Balm in Vanilla Glow
- Rimmel London Match Perfection Concealer in 230 Fair/Light
- The Body Shop Eyeshadow in 04 Quartz
- Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliner in Zero
- Maybelline ColorSensational Lipstick in 015 Born With It
- Lancome Juicy Tubes Lipgloss in Pink Horizon

I started by applying the Beauty Balm and Concealer to begin with even skin tone. Next, I used the Buxom eyeshadow as a base, putting it on with my ring finger. Then, I brushed on the pink shade of the Body Shop eyeshadow on the in 2/3 of my eye and the black in the crease in on the outer third, blending afterwards. After that, I used the Revlon eyeliner and an angled eyeliner brush to paint a clean, dark line along my upper lash line, going all the way to the inner corner. On the bottom lash line, I used the Urban Decay black liner and smudged carefully. I finished up my eyes by curling my lashes and putting on a thick coat of mascara (I used Revlon Million Lashes). To finish my face, I put the Too Faced blush on the apples of my cheeks, blending up my cheekbone. Lastly, I put on a coat of the Maybelline lipstick with a layer of the Lancome lipgloss on top. Et voila!

Wish List

Hey guys! I don't think I've mentioned this before, but one of my New Years resolutions was to not buy any makeup for as long as possible. I got through a month, and then the Ulta catalog came. This is when it gets real, people.

So, rather than giving in and buying the things I've seen, I'm gonna make a wish list of the things I want so that I can buy them later, when I've decided it's been long enough. :)

1. Korres Raspberry Antioxidant Liquid Lipstick in Fuchsia 54
    I've swatched this in stores before, and I love it. It is super pigmented, and I love the mission behind Korres. All of their products are natural and good for your skin. This sells for $22 bucks, so I'm waiting for a special occasion to buy!

2. Nails Inc. Wyndham Collection
    I've seen tons of holographic nail polishes before, but this one just blows the others out of the water. The Overglaze topcoat has green, metallic flecks in it that pop out when layered on top of other polishes--like the Teal Black Kensington shade that comes in the package at Sephora.

3. Maybelline Super Stay 14 Lipstick in Continuous Cranberry
    I have an extreme lipstick addiction. Seriously, extreme. I wear it every day, but never get a chance to re-apply when it wears off. And nothing is worse than lipstick that stays around the outside of your lips but not the inside. The effect is something like red lip liner with no lipstick. Not cute. So this stuff seems awesome to me--14 hours of continuous color? I'll take it! I can't wait to try it out.

4. Physicians Formula pH Matchmaker Powdered Blush
    I'm not much of a blush-wearer, but this one looks so cute to me! And the fact that it changes to match your skin tone is perfect.

5. Butter London nail polish in Knackered
    I this color is awesome! It looks blue-grey with fine sparkles. Everybody knows I love my sparkles!
