back at home

AND SWELTERING MY GUTS OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WE need OUR AC FIXED!!
This is SO dramatic.

*sigh*
seeing that I can't control the weather I shouldn't complain.

The entire flight I read 2 magazines, (Harper's Bazaar and InStyle). Combat Blue is in...mascaras? Hmm.
But I DID read in InStyle that if you just do black (Brown may look more fabulous) then blue on the tips.
All the blue mascaras they recommended were like, $20.00. But you can get the CoverGirl Exact Eyelights mascara in the one for blue eyes and its like blue. LOL. Plus its only about $7.00

Maybelline Colossal Volum' Express Mascara Review


What a mouthful!! Just for someone to say, "Yeah, I use the Maybelline Colossal Volum' Express Mascara."

My mom picked up the copycat yellow tube a while back, and is not impressed. I jumped at the chance to use this stuff, remembering that I've seen it in on TV.

"It's absolutely horrid. It may give you length, but defiantly not volume. It made my lashes look very stringy."

First off: it seems to me like it's an imitation of the Covergirl Last Blast Mascara. Not cool.

The packaging is similar to the orange tube. Its a wide, bright yellow tube is accented with purple, the cap quite large as well.

When you unscrew the cap, a large, messy wand appears, drowned in the mascara. "Plus, it smells nasty."


BEFORE USING

AFTER USING

As you can see, my lashes may have length, but there is clearly no volume. Length may be good, but volume is great. And for me personally, I prefer bolder lashes instead of the natural-looking ones.
The mascara flakes off really easily and smudges throughout the day. I can honestly say this is the worst mascara I have ever used besides the organic stuff (Who really needs organic mascara, anyway??)

I am not really a big fan of Maybelline's mascaras, but I do love there foundations! :)
