Review: L'Oreal Extra-Volume Collagen Mascara in Black...

Hi All!!

I hope everyone had a great Mother's Day weekend.I'm glad its over.:)


Review Time!


I picked up L'Oreal Extra Volume Collagen Mascara in Black up at the my hometown's new Super Wal-Mart. I think it was $6.48 and I normally have good luck with volume mascaras....


Pros:

-The black is black..not gray black, not ashy black, but black. I like how my lashes looked inky...

-I got volume but not "12x" as much. Where do these companies get those numbers? My lashes are fairly thick but I saw a bit more thickness, I'll admit.

-I also saw some " length". My lashes looked longer.

-The curves in the brush are great. Most volume mascaras don't have the curves in the brush, they are just 'fat' brushes.

-Reminds me of Maybelline Colossal Mascara...and I like Colossal.

-Perfect combo with my almost unused Maybelline Stiletto Mascara... two coats of Extra Volume and two coats of Stiletto...deadly combo of lushness and length...



Cons:

-Too much product on the brush every time I took it out of the tube.




Consensus:


-I like it...but I will probably be on to another mascara before I use this up.lol

Rural Glamour Artistry: Raven's Prom Look...

My little cousin Raven( age 16) went to her junior/senior prom two weeks ago and I volunteered to do her makeup. I normally don't "do" make-up anymore.I've did gigs in the past but have been soured by the experiences.... I'll just leave it at that. I had so much fun putting the little skills I have to use on the "baby"...:)

I showed up at her grandmother's house with my arsenal but she already had some stuff that she and her mom at gotten from MAC. Apparently, they went to the counter, got a look, then got pimped into 6 shadows( four of them were purple) and the wrong color concealer. I fixed that,promptly told her mom to take that concealer back and did the "baby's" face!!!

She had NEVER seen her lashes so long!!! I did a combo of MAC Plush Lash( that I had got from the CCO and she jacked from me!!!) and Maybelline Lash Stiletto...

She also wearing MAC Dazzleglass in Date Night.

Awww...the "mean baby" goes to the prom. My whole family was acting real emotional and ish.lol!!

RG Project: Cover Girl Eye Enhancers in Drama Eyes...

A couple of weeks ago, I got the chance to an awesome view a webinar with celebrity makeup artist Ashunta Sheriff and Cover Girl. And now I have some goodies to share with you via the folks @ Cover Girl!



First Up....Cover Girl Eye Enhancers in Drama Eyes. Ashunta used this on the webinar and I liked how the smokey eye she created with it...

The dark colors in the quad have great, strong pigment. I did very little layering or packing on, so that's always a plus. The raspberry color is my favorite. I always want to wear red shadow but can't pull it off but this color worked up great...

The next time I use it, I will use either the silver or the white pearl as a highlight and not both! lol!! My overly creative arse.:)

*Beauty Pimp Strikes Again* Got this Trucco Divinyls Lip Gloss in Berry Bazaar@ the local salvage store. $.50....going back to dig some more in that bin of makeup mess they have...keep ya'll posted.:)

RG Project: Beauty Treats Twist Lip Gloss in Oh Baby and Chambord...

I got two Beauty Treats Lip Gloss in Oh Baby and Chambord from This N' That for 1.25 a piece. I didn't expect them to have any quality...

With the flash...Oh Baby(left) and Chambord( right)...

Without the flash...same thing as above:)

Me,wearing Oh Baby...

I love them!!! They both have the qualities I like in lip glosses, which is a bit of pigment and not alot of shine( no greasy mouth!) and they were 1.25 a piece....Chambord reminds me of MAC Viva Glam 6.

Review:Caress Evenly Gorgeous Exfoliating Body Wash...

I got TWO free full size samples of Caress Evenly Gorgeous Exfoliating Body Wash in the mail to review for my cuzins!!


Pros:

-Its a body wash but has enough scrubbing texture to be a lightweight daily scrub. I normally like my scrubs to be heavy, chunky, and moisturizing. But as the summer approaches and I battle body acne, I need something lighter and daily. This is it ladies!!

-The bottle is shaped perfectly for the shower and holding it while under the water. No need to worry about you dropping it on your pinky toe( like me).:)


-The scent is very familiar to me...I smells like mark. Hollywood Pink fragrance. Avon and mark. normally do this scent in the winter and fall. So, the scent of Caress Evenly Gorgeous is warm and toasty, like toasted vanilla.



Cons

- none. I love it.:)
