BEST mascara i've ever tried and over 1,000 page views! wohoo!

ahh guys i've finally reached over a thousand page view, and i know it's not a lot in the blogging world by any means but it means a lot to me so for any one out there that follows this blog: thank you so much!

now on to some business ;)

so the best mascara i've ever tried to date has to be the L'Oreal Voluminous Carbon Black.

okay two quick things:

-the formula is a bit wet, it takes a minute to dry but it's a good thing for me because it gives me a little bit of time to get it just perfect

-i've heard that this mascara flakes or transfers for some people but i haven't had that problem at all

i love the formula, it's actually very comparable to the DIOR show mascara, which is about three times the price, so i think your getting great value for the money on this one, it leaves lashes looking full and super dark and lush, which i love.  If you need a going out mascara, i'd recommend this one for sure :)

sales&steals. MAX FACTOR review.

So i happend to wander into duane reade one day looking for that great John Frieda luxurious volume collections shampoo and conditioner, and as i was leaving i naturally wanted to leave through the makeup isle.  Lo and behold, clearance signs, 50 to 75% off.  I was floored.  Sales. LOVE.  Max Factor, an American staple in makeup, is being pushed off of US shelves.  Yes, ladies, end of a dynasty.  So STOCK UP.  The items that caught my eye were the concealer stick, 2000 calorie mascara, clear brow gel, eyeshadow trio, lipsticks, and volume couture waterproof mascara in rich black.   It's a lot of stuff i know, but it was so cheap! I purchased the eye shadow trio and the volume couture mascara, i still need to go back there and purchase a bigger haul.  But so far I'm loving the mascara, its really amazing for around $2.  And trust me, its waterproof, i had to find eye makeup remover to get it off.  Also in the voluminous department, its pretty good, nothing exceptional.  It really just excels in the separation department.  It separated every single lash, making them look like fake lashes.  Overall, recommend it.  For the price, it wont hurt to try it.  I also got an eyeshadow trio in Ravenous.  It contained a black, gilded brown, and sunflower colors.  I actually just needed a black base which was why i got that particular one.  The pigmentation is eh, but can be built up quite nicely.  I mean if you just need some random colors, this one would be a good one to pick up, they also had a trio of blues and violets which was quite lovely.  Alright so those were my opinions on the two products, please buy max factor while you still can, its really a great buy! :)

fun reads,

bella
