I have tried many many different mascaras and none of them do a little of everything like this one does. The little bristles on the rubbery brush really do define every single lash. The darkest color is VERY black. The formula is perfect. Not too wet. Not too dry. Just right. It flakes very minimally close to the end of it's life. Even the non-waterproof version never smears on me(and I live in GA). The brush is surprisingly easy to use on the bottom lashes as the short bristles grab the lashes and coat them very easily. This makes me eyes look wide awake and like I have twice as many lashes. Best defining mascara ever. And, it never clumps on me no matter how many coats I put on so long as I do not let it dry in between. The price is a little high in my opinion which is why I removed one star. Other than that this is a favorite. I have repurchased it many times and will always go back to it.

The price was a little high to me, for what it is. I like the lashblast volume a lot better. This formula gives a lot more length but the same amount of volume and separation. However, this one seems to flake a lot more than lashblast volume. And by the end of the day my lashes don't look as long as when I first applied it. I think if you have been curious about covergirl mascaras you are better off trying lashblast volume. It doesn't flake until it begins to dry out at the end of it's shelf life. It really darkens, defines, separates, holds a curl(especially the waterproof version), and adds a bit of length. Plus it's slightly cheaper. I wanted to love lashblast fusion but in the end I was disappointed a little.

This mascara is nothing special. It doesn't lengthen or add volume. It doesn't curl or never flake or smear. It basically just tints your lashes and has an easy to work with brush. Great if you want a natural look just to stain your blond lashes darker. Also great for beginners to get the hang of applying mascara. It's a very wet formula so if you have fine eyelashes try to avoid this because it will weigh them down and make them look sparse. This was the first mascara I ever tried. I saw Carmindy from What not to Wear use this on a client and wanted to try it. It really doesn't do much but it works well as a starting point to get you acquainted with makeup. And, it's nice and affordable. If your new to makeup you may want to start here! It's always nice when it comes off with just water easily.

This is such a great travel set. All of these brushes are so soft and perfectly designed. They NEVER shed. They wash and dry like a dream. The hairs don't splay out everywhere. The buffing brush is great for foundation, powder, blush, or bronzer. The detailing brush is perfect for an inner corner or brow highlight, shaping your brows, OR applying lip products because it is synthetic. The small pointed foundation brush I think is a bit too small for foundation but works great for concealer, highlighter(liquid,cream, or powder),or putting a wash of eyeshadow across the lid. The contour brush is excellent. Probably my favorite out of them all though it is hard to pick just one! You can use it for foundation, contouring(obviously), blush, highlighter, bronzer, or just blending or setting under eye concealer. These are my most reached for brushes by far. Love love love them and cannot recommend them enough!

I love using this on cuts and scrapes(since I'm a clumsy oaf)but also on my lips. I find that is so good at locking in moisture and forming a barrier to the elements that it actually has a slight plumping effect on my lips. I took off two stars because 1)It has no spf and 2)It is in a tine which is a bit unhygienic. Other than that it's great. You get a ton for your money and it's cheap to begin with. It took me a year to go through it with near constant use. This isn't sticky at all which I really look for in a lip balm. It's very light and comfortable to wear. It now comes in a squeeze tube too so I really have no reservations in point number 2 anymore. My husband surprised me with a tube and I carry it with me everywhere! Definitely give this one a go. It's one of the best!

Okay. Let's just get this out there. I am a lip balm junkie. I love the stuff. I keep one or two in the car, two in my purse, one on the kitchen table, one on my nightstand, and one in the living room. Do I have a problem? Yes. Am I ashamed? No. And, this lip balm is one of the best ones I have ever ever ever tried. I got the minty one and it tasted pretty bad if you accidentally got some in your mouth so I subtracted a star for that. There are plenty of other delicious flavors, though. This is so rich and nourishing for your lips. I love it for going to the beach or out in the sun to play sports because with spf 25 it really protects my lips from sunburn. The non-sticky almost creamy formula is clear and guards the thin skin of your lips from being chapped by wind and dryness while holding in moisture and hydrating. And, it's so cheap too! I got mine for $7.50 at Ulta. Maybe not as cheap as chapstick but this stuff actually works. It doesn't just have a bunch of petroleum jelly in it that won't sink it. This actually hydrates the skin on your lips. And, you need such a little bit that it lasted me for 6 months using nothing but this all day long and before bed. I found that because it's nice and thick it doesn't need to be reapplied that often either. This is a total score in my book. If you haven't tried this one already you need to go get it!

I tried this mascara a while back. I enjoyed using it for an evening out. It made my lashes look very plush and the formula was very black. The brush was very large and not ideal for lower lashes but the spacing of the bristles was perfect for separating and defining my upper lashes. I found it to be drier than many others I had tried but it still never clumped no matter how many coats I put on. It just kept making my lashes look better and better. However the reason this was possible is because the neck of the tube is very tight and scrapes off most of the product on your brush so very little is deposited on your lashes at a time. So applying this to your desired intensity can be a bit time consuming. I really do feel that it looks like I'm wearing a natural pair of falsies when it's done, though. The price is a bit high for a mascara but I think it's totally worth it if you are just a foundation and mascara kind of girl anyway and that's what you like to spend the most time on in your everyday routine. The packaging is sleek and cute but quite massive compared to many other tubes. I did experience a bit of flaking with this which is normal for a drier formula. Nothing crazy. Just 2 or 3 little specks throughout the day. All and all I'd say give it a shot!

I liked the idea of the fibers in this lengthening my lashes but when you apply it it really just sticks your lashes together making it look like you have less lashes than you started with. The curved brush is something that I always enjoy as it makes it easier to reach the inner and outermost lashes. However, I found that the formula was too wet and weighed down my lashes. This made my curl droop so that you couldn't even see my lashes as they were pointing straight forward instead of upwards. A big no no for me. I didn't like this one even when it started to dry up a bit. It just did nothing good for my lashes. It flaked onto my cheeks a bit(didn't smudge, though). I would avoid this one and stick to the original falsies mascara.

These are so nice and creamy but they don't bleed. They don't accentuate dryness if you have flakey lips. The color pay off is just like a lipstick. Maybe not like the amplified finish by MAC but pretty good for something labeled a lip butter. Korres lip butter's color pay off pales in comparison. However they don't really hydrate my lips. I feel they are more like a protective layer to keep moisture in. The shade range is awesome. I will say though that I own four of these and the texture and amount of color you get is not always consistent so watch out for that. The pale pinks are more sheer than The plums and reds. All and all I really like these. They are affordable, they wear well(no feathering), there are plenty of colors to choose from, the packaging is quilted and cute, and the pay off is lovely. Try them out for yourself if you haven't yet!

This is one of my all time favorite perfumes. I have gone through two bottles of this and am out right now but I absolutely love it. It is so sweet and sugary. I love the light fruity undertones. It's a perfect all-year-round go-to perfume for me. And the bottle is so cute too. I'm such a sucker for packaging. If you like sweet girly scents like Escada then you should give this a go. It's a lot cheaper per ounce.
