Hardy Candy Ginormous Lash in Mudslide

Beth — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 02:45:28 +0000

I am a pretty consistent user of the blackest black of black mascara’s out there. But seeing as I am blonde with blue eyes, I can easily tone down my eye look by going the brown/neutral route. I was skeptical at first to try Hard Candy’s Ginormous Lash in Mudslide because a least 75% of the mascara’s I try disappoint. I look in the mirror at work at about 3pm and they are…

Maybelline The Colossal Volume Express Mascara with Diamonds

Even I am a sucker for a drugstore promo display. Evidenced by my Walgreens purchase of Maybelline’s The Colossal Volume Express Mascara with Diamonds when all I was going in to do was get some cash. It looks like a fun idea, mascara with sparkles! But in execution, it was not fun. I found the formula to be very clumpy and dry. I’m not sure if this was due to the addition of sparkles, since…

Rimmel Glam Eyes Lash Flirt Mascara

This way you have 4 separate brushes applying the mascara on your lashes smoothly and without any clumps. The…

When packing for a weekend at the beach, a few beauty items most not be forgotten. My friend Megan kindly reminded me that having a waterproof mascara is essential. I was skeptical of purchasing one just for my mexico trip since I’ve never had much luck with waterproof formulas. They seem to always disappoint, never giving a ton of volume. Typically, washing them off involves a lot of elbow grease and lost lashes. Against my…

Disappointed: MAC Zoom Fast Black Lash

Beth — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 16:00:22 +0000

I was super excited to try this new mascara that MAC came out with for one of their latest collections (they have so many, I can’t keep track or stay up), but I was really, very disappointed. I love MAC’s original Zoomlash, an inky black mascara that gives great volume and darkness, so I thought this latest version would be just as good. Zoom Fast Black Lash is supposed to just…
