Tarte Lights, Camera, Splashes! Waterproof Mascara: Mascara

Crusty and makes lashes appear sparse.

One of the worst mascaras I have ever used, I mainly look for volume but this clumped all of my lashes into about three crusty clumps resulting in them looking worse than without mascara. To be fair I did have the trail size so I suppose it's possible that it would be better with the full sized brush but I can't see that making a dramatic difference. As for the waterproof aspect it seems to do it's job but it's not worth it at all.

Revlon Just Bitten Lipstain + Balm

Beautiful shades and long lasting.

I just love the way this stain makes my lips look, it makes them stand out and sinks in so much that you might not know I'm wearing anything even with the brighter shades. Perfect for a natural "no-makeup look" which I prefer to gooey lips that get on your straw or glass. I originally bought "Midnight" and loved that color so much that I bought "Flame" and "Frenzy" as well. My favorite is Flame as it is pretty warm and orange as compared to many lip shades that appear to be orange and then show up more hot pink. As for the balm it isn't anything spectacular but it's nice and convenient although it broke on one of my lip stains because you can't wind it up or down. Overall I am very impressed and I have tried many lip stains.

Tarte emphasEYES Waterproof Amazonian Clay Brow Mousse

Natural, Bulletproof Brows. Unbelievable.

This is the best makeup product I have ever tried. I typically cannot stick with the same product for very long no matter how good it is because it's so fun to try out others but I will never buy another brow filler as long as this is around. I have been using it for over a year and if I only have time to apply one product of makeup it's this one. It will last ALL day without touch-ups and gives my brows such a natural look. It is very easy to work with and the brush it comes with is fantastic as well. I re-purchased before I even ran out so that I could have more of them laying around. It takes my brows from looking very wide and sparse to thin and thick. And the best part? It lasted me through scuba diving, no joke. I have used this on my mom as well and she loves it too. I am a makeup junky and I can honestly say this is the best product I have ever used.
