Maybelline Lots of Lashes Mascara!

Heyyyy lovelies.

Man, I can't say it enough how happy I am that my blog feed is fixed and now people actually know I'm updating again. Horray!

Anywho, for those of you who don't know, I'm a BzzAgent, meaning I get some products to try for free and in return I'm supposed to share my experiences with my friends!

This time I got to try the Maybelline Lots of Lashes Mascara in very black:

The Great Lash Mascara that Maybelline makes has been around forever!  This, however, is a new and improved version called Lots of Lashes featuring a new applicator brush they call the little grabber.  This brush is supposed to help you reach the inner and outer corners of your eye lashes much easier.   Here are some pics of the applicator:

Up close and personal

I really really liked the applicator brush.  What they advertise is true: it was super easy to reach all of my lashes.  And it was also quite simple to build up your coats.  It says for a fuller look to apply another coat without letting the first one dry.  I'm all about that because I'm impatient...and I like giant eyelashes.

Here are some pics of me wearing this mascara:

Yes the eyeliner I'm wearing is different on each eye...I'll update about that later

Overall I reallllly liked this mascara.  I'm very very picky about my mascaras...and I usually wear waterproof because it curls better...but I've found myself wearing this a lot lately!
It applies relatively thin for mascara, which I like since it leads to clump free lashes!  It also removes easily with normal soap and water or make-up remover (or tears lol).

So overall, this mascara gets a thumbs up for me!  I got sent FIVE of these and have been passing them out to my friends! And good news for you ladiessss...you can win one in my giveaway!

If you can't wait for that, though, and you want to try it ASAP, it retails for $6.40 at most mass retailers ;)  If you want more info, check out their facebook page!

L'Oreal Double Extend Eye Illuminator Mascara Review

Hey guys, this is my second post and just FYI I did both of these L'Oreal reviews for BzzAgent, where I get to try new products for free! You should seriously check it out if you haven't heard of it, I love it!

Like I said previously, a few weeks ago I signed up for a BzzAgent Campaign to receive a free sample of L'Oreal's Double Extend Illuminator Mascara and their new One Sweep Eye Shadow.

The Double Extend Illuminator Mascara I received was Black Crystal for all eye colors.  I usually wear dark brown or black mascara despite my lighter colored hair, so this fit my style perfectly.  The image shown is not the color I received, but I wanted to show how the brush looks. 

Black Copper for Blue Eyes (From L'Oreal website)

The skinny side is the mascara side.  I love how long the applicator is--it allowed the mascara to go on easy and clump-free.  It also was a lot less thick than the mascara I usually wear but highlighted my lashes all the same.  They say it is supposed to add volume and length to your lashes, but I really only noticed the length aspect of that.  I was always confused by "volumizing" mascara.

Anyway, the spherical side is the illuminator side.  This side is supposed to have light-reflecting pearly highlights that accentuate your eye color although I found this hard to see.  I feel like since the illuminator was such a dark grey sparkle that I didn't notice it too much except for on my bottom lashes.  I would love to be able to try the Black Copper for blue eyes version, I feel like the illumination would be more noticeable.

Mascara with "Illuminator" added--you can barely see it

This product retails for about $8-$11 depending on where you shop and is available at most retail stores carrying L'Oreal products.

Overall I give this product a 4.5 out of 5 for the varying color selections, clump-free application and some illuminating sparkle!

If you're looking for a new mascara I'd definitely spend the money and try it, I love that they have it specifically for different eye colors--so cool!  If you've tried it and have something to say about it, comment please!
