I was trying out some new mascara I picked up and decided to do a quick sort of review on the drugstore mascaras I bought in ‘08!

some look old but it’s just wear & tear from my make-up bag~!

I originally wanted to pick up some of the new Colossal Volum’ Express mascara because I used my sister’s and liked it a lot! But sadly they don’t have a waterproof version of it . I prefer waterproof because I wear contacts which makes my eyes water a bit and non-waterproof ends up clumping in the corner of my eye and looking GROSS. I know some people LOATHE waterproof but really just a quick dab of eye-make remover takes it off easily! I’ve come to like Neutrogena’s Oil-Free Eye makeup remover

waterproof or not you should be using a product to cleanse your eye-make and not drying soap~

I actually like my eyelashes~ they’re fairly long and black and aren’t too thin. I say this just to give you an idea of my base point. And like I said, these are DRUGSTORE BRANDS so all are under $10.00

1: Define-A-Lash Volume Mascara
So far I’m liking it! It’s great at separating out the lashes & coating each one. And after 12 hours of wear no flaking. The thing I’m really liking about it though is that once curled it keeps the lashes curled all day!! I haven’t had to bust out my eyelash curler at all again
On the downside though I don’t see the “Volume” part. Really it makes my lashes look a bit thinner because it separates them so well.

2: Full ‘N Soft Mascara
This one is nice for a work look. It’s not over dramatic and adds a ton of feathery volume. That said the formula isn’t so great and it begins to flake off after a few hours of wear. If it didn’t flake so much it could have easily been a non-stop favorite.

3: Volum’ Express Mascara
Hands down a must in my bag. Fell in love with this in High School after going through many other brands. It’s a good stable mascara. Gives nice volume never clumps or flakes (I’ve NEVER seen this stuff flake!) Decent separating of lashes and lasts from day to night. It’s only shortcoming is that it doesn’t add dramatic length or volume and it doesn’t hold curled lashes for more than a few hours. Nevertheless I recommend this one to any newcomers to the world of mascara~

4: Sky High Curves Mascara
Since I have long lashes already I like mascaras that promote curls!! This is a pretty good one. It does help curl the lashes more than other mascaras and holds it pretty well. However after a few hours it begins to flake some, but not much.

5: Voluminous Mascara
Amazing volume horrible formula. The volume IS great and thick and fantastic but this stuff flakes the minute it’s done drying! Not to mention terrible clumping on the lashes. I wouldn’t recommend this at all

That’s it! I’m off to bed. Mike’s already fallen asleep (yet I just accidentally woke up) and I guess I should try to get SOME sleep.

Finally new layout! SO PINK ね～！？ I threw it together last night with Valentine’s Day in mind and wanting something not as dark as my previous layout. I dunno~ I get lost in the open space of polka dots & I like it~ I need something that cheers me up I think

It’s Friday and I haven’t much planned this weekend except going grocery/goods shopping. I feel so talkative but what should I talk about!? You know I’ve felt restless all day. Full of happiness one minute then restless wanting to do something new or interesting. Sometimes the net is great and makes me feel connected, but then sometimes I feel so out of the loop when I come upon someone’s FAR more interesting talent or life or perspective, you know?

But it can’t be helped, I am who I am so this is what I have to offer

I forget to answer SO many people’s questions, ごめん~ I know people asked to see the Victoria’s Secret Eyeliner on. Here’s a photo I did that same night but forgot to post. Pardon my tired red eyes. It’s JUST the liner, NO OTHER MAKE UP ON.

I haven’t been posting my purchases here as much since I got Poupee. I need to try to remember to post here! But new things are at my Poupee if you have an account!
