25 Days of Mascara: Day 25

Day 25: Tarte Lights, Camera, Flashes

Merry Christmas, everyone!  I've made it (just barely)!  As I've said before, I don't usually buy higher end beauty products, but it's Christmas, so why not!  I received this in my Glossybox a few months ago and I fell in love with it!  It's Lights, Camera, Flashes by Tarte, of course (retail: $23)!

25 Days of Mascara: Day 24

Day 24: Jordana Best Volume Extreme



Oh, Jordana, I really had high hopes for this one.  With the success of Best Lash Extreme which I reviewed on Day 4, I figured SURELY this would be better.  Nope.  Best Volume Extreme (retail: $3.99) doesn't even come close.

25 Days of Mascara: Day 23

Day 23: CoverGirl Clump Crusher Water Resistant



Ok, folks - let's see if I can stick to the one-a-day posts for the last two days... Today's mascara is CoverGirl's Clump Crusher Water Resistant (retail: $8.99).  This claims to add 200% more volume with no clumps ("vs. bare lashes").

25 Days of Mascara: Day 22

Day 22: Wet n Wild MegaVolume Mascara


I know, I know, I'm slacking.  My laptop has suddenly decided that it doesn't like WiFi, so I'm stuck plugging in to the router the "old fashioned" way (I can't believe using network cables is now considered old fashioned).  Anyway, today, er, yesterday, we're looking at Wet n Wild's MegaVolume mascara (retail $2.99).


I really had high hopes for this product since most products that Wet n Wild come out with are awesome.  However, mascara must not be their strong suit as this one fell flat.

25 Days of Mascara: Day 21

Day 21: Physician's Formula Organic Wear Fake Out Mascara




No, you're not going crazy.  I did skip days 19 and 20 because I value my sanity.  It's been a pretty crazy past few days with me moving across town and working the life-sucking graveyard shift (I feel like I could sleep for at least two days).  Sorry, y'all, there just aren't enough hours in the day!

Let's get into why you're really here, shall we?

As I said when I reviewed the original Organic Wear, Physicans Formula mascaras tend to be pretty waxy and this one is no different.  Although Fake Out (retail: $9.99) definitely gives some volume, it's just no match for my oily face.

25 Days of Mascara: Day 18

Day 18: Rimmel ScandalEyes Retro Glam Mascara



On this 18th day of mascara (who knew I'd make it this far?!), we're looking at the newest addition to Rimmel's mascara line: ScandalEyes Retro Glam Mascara (retail: $5.99).  As I've said in my review of Rimmel's Glam'Eyes, I've tried so hard to like Rimmel's mascara, but they always fall flat.

25 Days of Mascara: Day 17

Day 17: NYC Show Time Waterproof Mascara



On today's menu: NYC Show Time Waterproof mascara (retail: $3.99).  First, let me apologize - unbeknownst (that's right, unbeknownst) to me, it seems like this product has been discontinued.  I don't like making a habit of highlighting products that are not readily available, but I really had no idea.  Don't worry, though, you aren't missing much.
