Makeup War!: Mascara: Stila v.s. CoverGirl

New thing here... Im going to be comparing two products based on Quality, Price, Effectiveness, and more.:) Hope you like it :DD
(Got this idea in the shower o_o)

CoverGirl Lashblast Volume
Price: around $8
My rating: 8 out of 10




Stila Major MAJOR Lash Mascara
Price:$22
My Rating: 8 ot of 10

They both have the same rating... but lets see who wins!


Pictures of the brushes will be in previous posts.... (I dont wanna put too many pics.)
 Well:
CoverGirl:
 Stila:

Now, The stila one looks more bold(in the color) and makes them appear thicker. Covergirl makes it appear as if you have more lashes. stila also does not hold your lashes upwards... So it adds more length? than volume.  theyre pretty much the same!

COVERGIRL wins!
why its better: The price is more than 1/2 less and in my opinon looks better (more natural) :)

CoverGirl LashBlast Volume Mascara

I actually got this awhile ago in a three pack for around $15 at Costco... Split it with my mom & sister. Pretty worth it.
Havent gotten around to reviewing this. Its one of my favorite mascaras. I wish they didnt package it like that... That way I wouldnt have to watch the brush turn all ugly. This mascara will sometimes clump if theres too much on the brush. the brush is all like... hmm.... Spongy?

This mascara has a smell to it. Its not bad.. But I didnt know that mascaras had smells... >_< It doesnt stay on all day. It smduges if you rub your eye(DUH) but its very quick in drying and separates lashes pretty well. It doesnt give you length, But it does hold your lashes well for volume.

Freeman Superfruits Revealing Peel-Off Mask

:o WHAT?!?! MochiDinosaur is back?!? and Blogging at midnight? >:o lol yes.
Went shopping today(or would that now be yesterday), post on that maybe... didnt buy much. but my new obsession >:3 . . . will be revealed pretty soon. 
~I wasnt going to buy this at first... But I did anyway.
ANYWAYS... =_= (sorry for ugly pic.) this mask seems like a pretty good product from the description on thw back :0 "...Most powerful superfruits; Goji, Acai, Pomegranate, Mango, Mangosteen, Cranberry, Noni, and Blueberry to help purify, detoxify, and soothe stressed skikn." Lots of fruits...  Also says "Fortifies and guards again free radicals and environmental stress." (UGH THERES A NAT IN MY ROOM)

This mask works well to remove blackheads. The only thing i dislike abou this product is that its messy T^T Its really thick and gets all over the cap which will dry up and get stuck -.- Peeling it off doesnt come off in one piece... Thatd be amazing if it did. I find that I get my best results using this after a shower, when your pores are open.



Directions: Apply mask to face and neck (wth?!?!), avoiding contact with eyes. Leave on 5-10 minutes or until dry and gently peel off. Rinse with warm water.

e.o.s. (Evolution of smooth) Honeysuckle Honeydew Lip Balm

Hey!! School has been kicking my butt so I havent posted anything lately
Ahhh.... This Lip balm. Waaay baack when from like december... Well, Ive got quite a bit to rant. . . Any ways... Cute huh? Even has a little thumb space. :) The thing I DO like about this lip balm is that it can be applied to both lips at once. pretty cool huh? Theres other flavors... I really wanted the red one but i was toooo impatient. NOTICE how clean the outside is? Anyways, this one smells yummehh... looks like an egg.

HEHEHE EGGGG :DD Its twisty cap... I sort of regret buying this. After taking this like everywhere with me, the outer cover thingy got all dirty and ugly D: and I couldnt clean it off. Anyways.... (MAN! I keep getting off topic. his is what i get for blogging for YOU GUYS<3 at 10:35pm) Lol, it makes your lips smooth after awhile. Like, It cures dry skinness. For me, once I apply it, I cant rub my lips together... so I guess its sticky. Not lipgloss sticky though. And it leaves a residue DDDDx (IF you guys were wondering... My fav lip balm is Softlips Cherry..But thats another story :))

Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque

HAI THERE lovelies!
Again, a must-have product :) On the package it says it will tighten your pores and clear up acne. Its bright green & super thick (Its a clay mask). Been using this for awhile.. Gotta keep it on for 20 minutes which is pretty long for me but its worth it. I honestly dont like the smell of this. Because I cant handle the smell of clay very well. (I have my issues)
Will I buy this again? Fosho ;D

stila HAUL

I got like 5 stila things for around $20 dollars at costco because they were a summer glow set so... yeah. Im not gonna review the lipgloss(color:bliss) because I dont really use it. Its really sticky and thick and shimmery. Ill tell you that. Well... Lets start!

Lets start with the stila major MAJOR lash mascara. Apparently, its an upgraded version of their Major Lash Mascara... (Oh what creative names) The tube is pretty big (bulky -.-) But thats okayyy. Heres a picture of the tube:

Heres a pic of the brush:

Its bristly. Its pretty big. This mascara is nothing special... Its just as good as any drugstore mascara... Theres nothing absolutely magical about the formula. BUt it does make your lashes appear long. The color is very bold, but as I said before, its just as good as a drugstore mascara. It lasts a pretty long time but not all day. It flakes off a bit during the day...

 The tip:
P r e s c i s i o n. . . i love this eyeliner even though its a pain to fix up if you made a mistake and hafta remove it. But it does last all day and rarely smudges WHEN DRY. One of my favorites :) I probaly wont ever buy it again because of the pice though T^T

e.l.f. Eyeshadows

First one is an e.l.f. Mineral eyeshadow. I got it in golden. Its really pigmented and shimmery. This eyeshaadow is really messy if you dont handle it right. *ahem*(like how i spilled it all over)*ahem* I had a swatch picture but it wouldnt load onto blogger -.-  well, heres what it looks like.
See the Shimmer? 
I recommend applying this with your fingers because the brush can pick up too much and it can get ALL over your face and nobody likey ;] This one was more expensive because its part of their professional line -_- But its ok :)

Next up is this eyeshadow palette. I believe its in "Silver Lining" This one has a purple theme to it. Comes with four colors, a sponge applicator and a teeny tiny mirror that probaly isnt useable. Also swatched this one but it wouldnt load D: grrr...

Well, Sorry for  the pooish pictures :( SOme of my lightbulbs went out. Well, Theres a WHITE, PURPLE(reminds me of the color of the jelly belly "Island Punch"), a darker somethat GREY, and a white with a pink/lilac undertone. These colors are all shimmery. I think the color lasts pretty well, but it doesnt brighten really o_o
