Makeup Review: Maybelline Ultra Liner Liquid Waterproof Eyeliner

I’m a liquid eyeliner addict, so I’ve pretty much tried everything. This is one that can always be found in my makeup drawer, but I won’t say it’s the best. Maybelline Ultra-Liner is a liquid eyeliner that has one amazing feature - it is pretty insanely waterproof. I mean really. Jump in the pool, [...]

Product Review: Maybelline Shiny-licious Lip Gloss

Let’s face it: all drugstore cosmetics girls love Maybelline. So today I’m reviewing Maybelline shiny-licious lip gloss. I own two shades of this, #40, “lolly pink” and #90, “melon ball“. I enjoy the pink the most - it looks natural but still shiny. While it doesn’t feel sticky on your lips, it will if [...]

Makeup Review: Diorshow Mascara

So you’ll probably learn that as far as cosmetics go, I love Dior. (J’adore Dior! Heh.) And Diorshow mascara is no exception. I use Black #090, and it is fantastic. It has a classic thick, lush brush, but is surprisingly soft to the touch. This mascara will give your lashes fullness like never before, and [...]

Makeup Review: L’Oreal Telescopic Mascara

I love trying new mascaras, and it’s even better if I can get them at drugstore prices. The big trend these days seems to be changing the wand, and L’Oreal’s Telescopic has done it with its innovative flexible brush with plastic bristles. I tried it in Blackest Black, and the wand seemed to grab any [...]

Product Review: Victoria’s Secret Very Sexy Face Illuminator

I have to admit, I love Victoria’s Secret. However, I rarely make it to the beauty side of the store. But when the Very Sexy line debuted, I was intrigued. It seemed more professional and high-end than Vicky’s previous sort of “impulse buy with your panties” makeup. I tried the Very Sexy Face Illuminator in [...]

Product Review: Jessica Simpson Dessert Treats Shampoo

I, like many girls, am a bargain shopper. If it’s on clearance, there is at least a 50% higher chance that I will buy it. So when I strolled into Walgreens and saw this shampoo sitting on the shelf covered in red stickers, I said, “I have to have it! It’s 75% off!”
Sure, there were [...]

Makeup Review: Dior Addict Ultra-Gloss

I am a huge Dior fan. It’s not only the high-end designer appeal, but also the lush girlishness of it; while Chanel’s packaging is simple and elegant in black and white, Dior opts for colorful, embossed cases with shine. And the Addict line is no exception. Ultra-Gloss is my favorite lip gloss of all time. [...]
