Hello! I don't know if any one remembers I'm supposed to be moving soon, but I am. There's quite a bit of paperwork I need to get done before hand so it's keeping me busy. Anyway, I thought I'd put up one more post before the end of the month. This is a mascara I've been using for a while and I'd like to share my thoughts on it with you ^^

Recently I haven't been getting enough sleep. Truth be told, I'm also getting older (＠O＠;). A result of this combination are the dreaded dark circles under my eyes. It wasn't so bad the last time I discussed it on this blog (link to NYX concealer), but it's become a prominent problem I deal with daily. Along with the dark circles, I have fine lines and the skin under my eyes is very dry. With these issues, I decided to try Neutrogena's 3-in-1 concealer to see if it would provide any help.

I don't know about you, but whenever I'm looking to purchase a new beauty product I tend to look for something to benefit me. Something to care for my skin or lips or in this case my eyelashes. I've been using mascara for almost six years (yes, I was slow to the make-up game...), but I avoided using it because I didn't want to deal with removing it from my lashes every night. I also have a slight fear the overusing eyelash curlers could traumatize my lashes and impede them from growing. Strange notions aside, I picked up this mascara because its "lash enhancing formula improves lashes' overall appearance and condition with every day use." Having used this for about three months, I'm ready to share my thoughts on it.

This actually came in a beauty box I purchased from Target a few months ago. I've been wanting to try NYX's Jumbo Eye Pencils for a long time ever since I saw them pop up on various blogs and youtube videos. I wanted to see if this pencil was as amazing as I've seen it be. So I've used this a few times and here's what I think.

I spotted this mascara a while ago and decided to pick it up because I can never have enough mascara...and I wasn't too happy with the current one I was using. I saw this, read the words on the packaging, "Dramatic Volume Effect, Separates & Builds Every Lash", and I immediately wanted to try it. I've been using it about a month now and here are my thoughts on it.

I bought this eyeliner a few months ago and recently started using it. Rite Aid was having a deal on all Wet n Wild products like 40% off or something to that effect so I was like, "Oooh, I want to try this! It's so cheap..." hoping that the product itself would work well. Having tried it for a while, I'm ready to tell you all about this eyeliner.

I picked this up months ago when it was on sale at Rite Aid, but I had wanted to try it ever since it launched. I was intrigued by the idea of a mascara that would make my eyes look bigger with different wands for top and bottom lashes. After using Maybelline's original Falsies mascara, and thinking it was decent, I decided to try this. Let's see if I get bigger-looking eyes.

I bought these lashes a while ago at Ulta. They were discounted to around $3.99 then (I think they still are, but if not they're $5.99 per set) and I could not resist because they looked so full and fluttery.

I know I've been gone a while...like two weeks. I was busy with school and packing for a week long trip that just ended a few days ago (my life is forever changed!). I'm back with a copious amount of time to blog about pretty things. I picked up this NYC mascara last month because Rite Aid was having a buy one get one free on NYC cosmetics and I wanted to try a mascara that would give me length and definition instead of volume.

I don't often purchase high-end mascaras. They are much too expensive for a product that requires being replaced after a few months to ensure my eyes don't infected with something. Once in a while, I get tempted by new promotions and images and promises amazing looking lashes that I just cave in. This was exactly the case. And it's Chanel.

I picked this up because I had a Revlon coupon and I was attracted to the pink in the palette. I've worked with it a few times and I have thoughts on the product.

I'm well aware this blog has been...neglected for some time. For that, I must apologize for my essential laziness. It's a hard habit to break. Also, I took a short excursion to Las Vegas.
Today, I'm here to talk about a new mascara I picked up two or so weeks ago. Let's get talking.

That is a long name for a product. Maybe not the longest in the history of make-up products, but certainly up there in terms of eyeliners on the market, I think. I have been using this product for months, having stored it away after Rite Aid was having a buy one get one FREE for Physician's Formula's eye make-up. (A word of caution: should you see the gigantic felt-tip version of this beware! It does nothing to enhance your eyes, unless smudged eyeliner is your kind of look...) What makes this eyeliner so special?

When I first tried mascara, many years ago, I really hated it. It did nothing miraculous to my lashes and I hated getting it off at night. It was a waste of time for me. Oh, naïve high school girl. Mascara makes a major difference.
These days I can't get enough mascara and I've tried so many from high-end to cheapie drugstore brands. It's a bit embarrassing to admit that I often have two to three mascaras in rotational use. Anyway, this is a low-key mascara from Covergirl. It's not features on the top of the display with all the Lash Blasts, Clump Crushers, and Nature Luxes. One must stoop down to the dredges of the product display to find this red tube.
As per the Covergirl website, "For big, bold, thick lashes, Super Thick Lash is the one. Its Lash Builder brush separates, defines, and reaches for those little lashes." Let's see if it does any of that.
Here are my lashes sans any mascara or curling.
In the picture above, my lashes seem to be non-existent. They exist. So, here's the result after applying mascara on my right lashes:
So here I've applied a few copious coats of mascara (though I didn't dip the brush in for more product nor curl my eyelashes). There's already quite a big difference between the two lashes as the right side shows them lifted and somewhat curled, but it doesn't seem to have much volume. This is what both lashes look like with mascara applied:
Look at that. Definitely some lash visibility and curl happening. As I've been using this mascara for about two months, it's something I reach for often to lift my lashes to make them appear lusher. I like that this formula doesn't clump up and it sort of lengthens, even though it doesn't really claim to do that. I just wish it really made my lashes super thick. This is a decent product for those who already have fairly thick lash line and would like to add a little length. This mascara holds a curl from an eyelash curler well, too. Super Thick Lash is a great as an everyday mascara for naturally visible lashes. It's a got a good price as it's about $5.
