</ul>
<p><em><strong>My Thoughts:</strong></em></p>
<p>This is an okay mascara. It&#8217;s not one of Maybelline&#8217;s bests. I was able to get long lashes with a bit of volume but not falsies like lashes. For some reason, I was hoping for super thick, long lashes. I didn&#8217;t like how the formula was really wet. The wet formula caused my lashes to clump together, but nothing a lash comb can&#8217;t cure. It was more of a nuisance. I also didn&#8217;t like how difficult it was to remove. No matter how much you soak and rub, traces of the mascara still clings to your lashes. The flexible wand was a bit weird. I haven&#8217;t gotten used to it yet so I felt it made applying  a little bit more difficult. Volum&#8217; Express the Falsies mascara is not an everyday mascara. It&#8217;s more of a night-out-on-town kind of mascara. I would have to say Maybelline Volum&#8217; Express the Falsies Mascara is a high maintenance mascara. If you have time and patience to apply and remove the mascara, it could possibly be a holy grail.</p>

<p><strong><em>My Thoughts:</em></strong></p>
<p>I am quite the lip balm fanatic. I am almost never without one. So, when I spoted the eos lip balm sphere I had to have it.  The lip balm isn&#8217;t heavy or feel waxy. However, it wasn&#8217;t as moisturizing as I had hoped it would be.  The packaging is definitely a conversation starter.  The sphere shape makes it really easy to apply and it covers my entire lip. I  like all of the scents and flavors that it comes in. They&#8217; are not too strong and smell nice. I hate that I can&#8217;t slip this into my pocket because of it&#8217;s big size and odd shape. I also don&#8217;t like how when you get to the bottom of the lip balm it becomes flat. This makes it really difficult to apply. Would I repurchase? Chances are no. I feel it&#8217;s overpriced. There are better lip balms that are much cheaper.</p>

Eyebrow Kit</a> ($3) Create brows that are fuller, thicker, and more defined! The pigmented wax defines and shapes brows and the color complementing setting powder keeps them looking arched and perfected. The doubled sided taklon brush has one side to help arch your brows while the other side aids in filling them in. This duo provides lasting color definition for a naturally beautiful look.</p>
<p><em><strong>My Thoughts:</strong></em></p>
<p>I heart E.L.F Eyebrow Kit! Not only is it super cheap, but it performs just as well, possibly better, as high end eyebrow kits. I own all the shades, but I prefer the Ash shade for everyday use. It matches my dark brows very nicely. It also does a great job of filling in and keeping unruly brows in place. I don&#8217;t use the brush that comes in the kit because the shortness of the brush makes it difficult to control. I use my own angled brush. I was pleasantly surprised by how sturdy the packaging is. It reminds me of the packaging for Nars products. Sleek and sturdy. It also has a mirror which is great for travel and quick touch-ups.</p>

<p><em><strong>My Thoughts:</strong></em></p>
<p>I&#8217;ve never tried a mousse concealer before so I didn&#8217;t know what to expect. I was very surprised to how well the Maybelline Dream Mousse Concealer worked. The concealer went on very smooth and I had no trouble blending. You can layer the concealer. However, be aware of caking if you layer too much at once. I found it worked best if layered on thin layers. I didn&#8217;t experience any creasing or settling into fine lines. The concealer lasted all day and did a great job of covering up my  dark circles.  My one major complaint is that there aren&#8217;t that many shades to choose from. On the bright side, if you can&#8217;t find a shade to match you, you can use it as an eyeshadow primer. It worked great!</p>

I am sorry to say that L&#8217;Oreal&#8217;s De-Creae Eye Shadow Base failed. The primer only helped my eye shadow and eyeliner stay in place for a couple hours. After that I noticed creasing and fading. Besides the lack of staying power, I also noticed after I applied the primer, it dried to a powdery chalky finish. The drying finish accentuated any dry spots I had and made it difficult to apply eyeshadow and eyeliner. Truthfully, I did not notice a difference between using L&#8217;Oreal De-Crease Eye Shadow Base and not using a base at all.  I wish I saved my $8 and bought something else.</p>

<p><em><strong>My Thoughts:</strong></em></p>
<p>All I can say is &#8220;Wow!&#8221; This powder brush is so soft but dense and so easy to use. I just love it! I use it to apply foundation, powder, bronzer, and blush. It&#8217;s a multifunctional brush. It doesn&#8217;t irritate my sensitive skin and I did not notice any shedding. The flat top allows you to stipple on liquid foundation even though I&#8217;m sure it wasn&#8217;t made for that, but it works! I love that it is only $3, but you can always get it for much cheaper because of the constant E.L.F sales. It looks and performs exactly like a high end professional brush, but only for a fraction of the price. My only regret? Not buying more!</p>

<p><em><strong>My Thoughts:</strong></em></p>
<p>This is a dual ended lipstain and lipbalm. One end is a marker tip lipstain and the other end is a lip balm. Compared to <a href="http://www.audreydao.com/2009/04/30/cover-girl-outlast-lipstain/">CoverGirl&#8217;s Outlast Lipstain</a>, this is way better. Just Bitten went on smoother and easier. It didn&#8217;t go on streaky or blotchy. When the color faded a few hours after applying, it left back a natural stain color. It also faded very evenly. The lip balm provides a lot of moisture to your lips without being overly glossy. One thing to be careful is that the color that is on the tube is lighter than the color that will appear on your lips.</p>

<p>I love the packaging! It&#8217;s so cute! I love the quilted look. It&#8217;s a creamy lipstick that has great lasting power. The texture is creamy but not glossy. You can wear the lipstick from sheer to opaque. The coverage is also buildable. There is a wide range of colors to choose from and are pigmented. My favorite quality about Revelon Colorburst lipstick is that it feels very light weight. It doesn&#8217;t feel heavy at all.  These are definitely now part of my main makeup stash.These definitely give high end lipsticks a run for their money.</p>

The first step is primer that is black instead of white which I love because you don&#8217;t have to worry about the white showing or the black color turning grey. I&#8217;m not sure if the mascara can last 24 hours because I have never worn the mascara for that long. Although, it did last all day and night. The best feature of Maybelline XXL Pro 24 HR Bold mascara is that it will give your lashes a lot of volume boost. I found 1 coat is adequate enough for volume. With 2 coats, you will get enough volume to create the look of false eyelashes. However, I did notice a bit of flaking when applying the second coat of mascara. I also found it a bit more difficult to remove the mascara than other mascaras.</p>

I nabbed the eyeliner in all 4 colors: black, brown, grey, and plum. They all are pigmented and go on creamy smooth. The color lasts all day and doesn&#8217;t budge until you remove it. I think it is the perfect replacement for <a href="../2010/01/04/mac-fluidline-review/">MAC Fluidline</a>. It&#8217;s almost half the price (even cheaper during sales!) and comes with a brush! I think this the best drugstore eyeliner and probably one of the best eyeliners on the market. I just wish it came with a tiny bit more product. It&#8217;s about the same size as MAC&#8217;s Fluidline.</p>
