Mascara (33) 
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 :downarrowtime:
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.

Thank You VS Gift Card (29)
So Victoria’s Secret gave out these gift cards a few weeks ago so this weekend I bought the Heidi Klum Glitter Eyeliner and the Limited Edition bottle of Love Spell
The gift card was 10$ so that paid for the glitter eyeliner. I was surprised to discover it’s actually a black eyeliner with glitter. I thought it was like other glitter liners. Glitter in clear gel. I’m actually liking it though. Just not as versatile as a typical glitter liner. It’s nice though. Some of the glitter flakes off, but not too bad and it goes on easy. It’s cheap @ $10.00 :*:
Went to buy magazines last Thursday and I did so well!!! I only bought Pinky, Non-no, & Soup!! They had the newest CUTiE, Zipper, JJ, CanCam, More, and random great mags like Soup’s hair & make collection!! But I managed to just read & not buy
I get Ageha this week so maybe I’ll pick up 1 more mag but THAT’S IT. I’ve been enjoying getting to buy all the clothes on sale lately and since a magazine like CanCam is like $20.00 if I don’t get it I feel better about buying a onepiece or perfumes and stuff! YAY WILL POWER!
I want to do a Japan picture post again soon. They always cheer me up!!! I just don’t have the time tonight. It’s nearly 10 & I’m actually trying to get to bed before midnight for once
