But there's something about her long shady eyes...

I know this is long, looong over due as I promised this quite some time ago. To be honest I took several pictures and what not, then friggin' forgot which was which!lol. I'm reviewing my three current favorite mascaras Lorac Multiplex 3D Lashes, Revlon Grow Luscious, and Benefit They're Real.

First up is Lorac. As you can see mine is a mini tube. The brush is made of rubber bristles similar to the Cover Girl's Lash Blasts and Benefit's They're Real. It is slightly curved and fits perfectly on my lash line and up. It's great for length but volume wise I haven't noticed anything special. However, I've definitely been picking this up more than the other 2 as of lately. A normal sized tube of Lorac 3D Multiplex Lashes retails for $22 at Sephora and Ulta.

Next up is Benefit's They're Real Mascara. Yes, another mini tube. This mascara recently launched earlier this month I believe. It's claim to fame is that it gives your lashes the appearance of false lashes, hence the name. The brush is rubber bristle's similar to Lorac's Multiplex 3D Lashes with a twist of Loreal's Telescopic Explosion Mascara. You brush on the mascara like normal then use the tapered end to get all those pesky inner and outer lashes that usually get missed. I thought this sounded pretty amazing till I used it on my hard to reach lashes and ugh those ends just get stuck to each other. I think it's pretty good at lengthening and ok with volume. I liked it but like I said those pesky hairs just get all funky. Benefit They're Real! retails for $22 at Sephora and Ulta.

Finally, Revlon Grow Luscious Mascara. I've been using and loving this mascara for about two years now. It is the perfect balance of length, volume, and separation. The brush is big very similar to Benefit's Bad Gal lash, which use to be my favorite! Unforunetly my tube is getting a little dry so these pictures don't show how impressive this mascara really is! But if you look through my first few make up posts you'll see. Revlon Grow Lucious retails at Walgreens locations for $7.99, $5.99 with free shipping on the website. Walgreens typically has BOGO or BOG1/2 off.

I hope all of you found this informative!!

It's Friday!

Time Balm

My under eye circles were getting to me. Not to mention the red in my cheeks from my slight case of rosacea, thanks dad! So I finally decided a concealer was needed. I typically just wear Loreal True Match Naturale in Nude Beige as I live in Florida and don't like heavy makeup. I had been considering Benefit's Erase Paste but for a little jar I wasn't fond of spending $26. I had only heard a few reviews on The Balm's Time Balm concealer, which looks similar to Erase Paste in my opinion. For a cheap(er) $18 and Ebates at my side I was sold.

The left is with Eco Tools concealer brush, right with the included sponge.

I love this this concealer! I definitely made a great choice. It's light but covers perfectly. Red spots, under eye circles, freckles, etc are taken care of. The next few makeup posts will have me using this concealer and it's really made a difference. I no longer look tired!lol. On another note when I purchased Time Balm on Sephora I went through Ebates. Time Balm is the only item I paid for. I chose Benefits new They're Real mascara with my 100 point perks, 3 perfume samples, and a discount code on Ebates allowed me to get a free Benefit makeup case! Plus I got money back, not a lot, but all money is good money these days.
