Maybelline Baby Lips and Lots of Lashes (BzzAgent Kit)


Yay my Bzz Agent package arrived :D I got 5 lots of lashes mascara and 5 baby lips lipbalms; both by Maybelline.

Soo, let's summarize the bzzguide they gave me.

So the baby lips are formulated with a "breakthrough combination of Shea butter, powerful antioxidants and vitamins, and smoothing Centella concentrate." it has SPF 20 and claims to provide 8 hours of hydration for your lips.
Then they describe the stuff they put in it. I'm gonna summarize these

•Shea butter-Repairs, moisturizes and softens
•Vitamin Complex- prevents oxidation of lip molecules and restores damaged cells
•Centella- plumpness and hydration, elasticity, creates line-free look
They also claim to visibly repair and renew lips in four weeks.

Now for the mascara.
Lots of Lashes... I suppose it's a spin-off of their original Great Lash mascara. They say that it has a new applicator brush called "The Great Little Grabber"
That's what the brush looks like. It has spiky things all over and it claims to be shaped for easy application for the inner and outer corners of the eye.
It also claims to build lashes without clumps.
This mascara comes in 3 washable (non-waterproof) shades and is available for $6.40 at mass retailers.

Now, lets get on with the reviews :D
~~~~~~~~~~~
I like the baby lips quite a lot. I only opened two out of the five. They sent me 5 out of the 6 flavors. Two are clear (quenched and peppermint) and three are tinted (cherry me, pink punch, and peach kiss) they don't really have a taste to them except kind of a sunscreeny taste o.o"
I opened the quenched and cherry me. Quenched seems to have no color or flavor according to the thing. But i think it's lemony. Cherry me has no flavor but it smells good. The tint isn't too noticeable. Its very sheer.
This lip balm makes your lips very soft and you dont have to reapply often ^^ hehe.
Would I buy these? sure.

As for the mascara... I don't like it very much. I don't like how it gives spidery lashes. My lashes are quite weak so that may be the reason why. Most of the reviews on BzzAgent say they liked it, but I don't agree.  The application was very easy though, which was good. The color was also very good. I wouldn't buy this mascara though. :/

Maybelline Volum'Express Falsies Flared

 Yeaa... I needed a new mascara so I picked this one up



 The brush is like a "spoon shape" so its supposed to "flare" your lashes and make them look like falsies. Well, I really like this mascara because it makes it look like I have actual eyelashes. Its not TOO clumpy and its a drier formula which is good for my weak lashes. It doesnt rub off and make the areas around my eyes look all black... Right now its my favorite.
I really dont know what else to say, so here... pictures :D


Before
after one coat
So yeah, theres that. Uhm, Its a real big pain to take off -.-
Maybe because I got the water proof formula... But still o.o

Maybelline Volum'Express Falsies Flared in Blackest Black
Rating: 9/10 (Because its so hard to remove...-1)
Price: $5-8 Depending on where you buy it...
Where?: Wherever they sell Maybelline stuff
Repurchase?: Maybe

---UPDATE---
4.15.2013
It's the only mascara that I have found that will work for me, since the formula is drier than other mascaras. I will be repurchasing this.

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.

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...

Next up is the eyeliner. Its a liquid eyeliner pen, apparently waterproof and lasts all day. It also comes in brown and midnight blue ._. I swatched this but I have no idea where the image went.

 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. Regular, Waterproof and Clear Mascara





ohkayyy helllo!:D hehe. this post will suck... im in a hurry sorry
Well i got this just to try it...

Waterproof mascara yaay... So, first thing I noticed was that it was really thick (the waterproof one) realllllllly thick! and clumpy looking. When you put it on, its not as clumpy as it looks. But you will get clumps close to the lashline -_-... So, yeah its good... waterproof... but when it does get exposed to eye rubbing, it comes off. Not streaming down your face (yay) but in dry clumps. Like hmmmm like super tiny clay. okay well, the brush.. looks terrible.

Now about the regular one... I didnt dare wear this to go swimming so i put it on and splashed water on my face a couple of times. It comes off just the same as the water proof kind.  Its less clumpy and less thick.  lookkkk! IT LOOKS WAAY BETTER. this one works really well.


after these dry, i put a layer of clear on it.... uh yeah.... i like the clear one. alot! this is the eyelash one on your left. and the eyebrow one is on the right yepp.haha ok

Rating:: Waterproof & reg. Duo-5.5 out of 10
             Clear: 10 out of 10
Price:: each are: $1.00

Elf Haul:: Coming Soon!

Elf Haul: C0ming s00n!

This morning, I ordered some stuff from elf (eyeslipsface.com). I bout about 15 dollars of stuff. I like their products because most of the stuff is only $1. The only thing that I didnt like was that the shipping was $6.95. I found a coupon code that took off 50% on your purchase so, it kind of covered the shipping. The coupon code only takes off up to $7.50, so you can spend $15 max and get the code's full value. The code is winnerelf. I dont know when this expires... But it works today!

I cant wait til my box of gooodies arrives! ;D ♥
