CoverGirl Exact Eyelights Eye-Brightening Mascara

Great mascara, but doesn't bring out eye color.

I thought this mascara would be great because I love the gold in my hazel eyes and I would love to bring it out more., because most of the time my eyes look dark green. I got the Black Gold kind, it has flecks of gold glitter in it. It actually kind of worked, although you could only see the difference in my actual eyes when I was in sunlight. The gold flecks show up in most light, though, and the first day I wore it I got complements on my "gold glitter mascara." I was a little bit disappointed it didn't make my eyes look more gold, but it is still a great mascara, no clumps at all! And since my lashes are already very long, it didn't really make them any longer, just thicker, which I enjoyed. But if you have short lashes it might not help very much. I really like this mascara, but as I said I wish it did more to change eye color.

L'Oreal Paris Telescopic Explosion Carbon Black Mascara

It's okay, but better mascaras exist.

When I first saw a commercial for this mascara, I thought it would work really well because of the specially shaped brush. Wrong. If anything, the brush makes it more difficult to apply mascara. I've found that the best way to apply any mascara is to use the "zig-zag" motion, but you can't do this because the brush is to difficult to maneuver. I ended up poking my eye. It took more time to use this than regular mascara. the advertisments and packaging said that it gets every lash from every direction, including the corners of the eyes. This is not true at all. I had to swipe the brush over my lashes about 6 times before they were close to being fully covered. As for the actual mascara, it is extremely clumpy unless you wipe most of it off the brush. It made my lashes stick together, and it was very thick.

L'Oreal Paris True Match Super Blendable Makeup

Absolutely the best!

This is the best foundation I have ever bought. It is soft and light, but it covers your entire face perfectly. I first discovered this last summer when I got badly sunburnt on my nose and cheeks. I just put this foundation on over it and you couldn't even see the redness. Plus, it didn't hurt the sunburn at all! Another thing I love about this foundation is the range of colors it comes in, I think there is one for every skin tone. I am very pale, and with most other foundations I tried, the lightest shade was too dark for me. But not this one. It matches perfectly, which I love. It really is "super-blendable"! One of the things I love most is how much is in the bottle. I have had one bottle for almost a year now, but I use it every day. I keep thinking it is going to run out but there is always more in the bottle. It's amazing! I would recommend this to anyone, because I figure that for whow long it lasts, it is well worth the cost.
