CoverGirl Professional Super Thick Lash Mascara

Indeed provides for a super-thick lash.

This mascara is quite thick, yet remains relatively un-clumpy when layered properly. For these reasons, it is great in providing the illusion of long, dark, and thick lashes. I actually have relatively thick and moderate-length eyelashes, but they are brown and then blondish on the tips. This mascara is thick enough that I only have to dip it once for each eye, unlike some lighter formulas. The only downside is that its thickness also translates a little into heaviness and I lose a fair amount of the curl I obtain with my eyelash curler after application.

Smashbox Camera Ready Full Coverage Concealer

an A for acne & scar coverage.

This is definitely the best concealer I have tried thus far. I use it for blemishes & scars rather than for under-eye circles, and I found that the thick, creamy formula hides redness yet doesn't look spackled on like some other concealers. The color also matches my skin almost seamlessly, which can sometimes prove hard to do with my particular skin tone. When used with a powder over top, the coverage stayed in place pretty well. It is definitely worth the $18 I shelled out to have my skin look clear for once!
