Covergirl Lashblast Extensions Mascara

Covergirl recently released a new mascara in the Clumpcrusher line called "Clumpcrusher extensions." It promises to give your lashes tons more volume and I have to say I think it delivered.

 As you can see the wand has a semi circle kind of shape. The bristles are that soft plastic and not fibre/hair type of bristles. I took the shape of the wand as a hint as to how to apply. The formula in my opinion is dry which is good if you hate mascara that takes forever to dry.

I really liked my results using this mascara. 

During application there was no clumping and the mascara was very light weight to wear.

Victoria's Secret and Bath & Body Works

For some reason the two biggest sales of the season were kind of disappointing for me. I love me some Semi Annual sales from Victoria's Secret and Bath and Body Works and use those sales to try new scents.

Now, with Victoria's Secret I felt more variety could have been available in store for sale. It was mostly gift sets and scents that I'm not familiar with. So I picked up a sports bra and a few body items.

Bath and Body Works had a lot of oldies but goodies in store which is great for those who want to stock up. There were a few candles that I love but I have to go back for them. I settled on a few items using a $10 off $30 survey coupon.

 

Did you snag anything from these sales too? Let me know in the comments so I can check them out.

CVS Beauty Clearance haul

CVS has been having a beauty clearance (50% and 70 % off) for the past few weeks so I thought I'd share what I got so far. What are you getting?

MAC All About Orange Collection Haul

MAC decided to get in touch with their citrus side and released a collection that focused on all things Orange! I loved the concept and decided to purchase a few lipsticks and at least try a blush. The complete collection has 7 lipsticks, 3 blushes and a quad of grey eyeshadows. The quad did not jump out at me and the blushes did nothing for my skintone. I purchased Sushi Kiss and Flamingo during the online release and went in store during the counter release (June 6, 2013) to pick up Tart & Trendy as well as Tangerine Dream.

(L-R: Flamingo & Sushi Kiss)

Sushi Kiss

Sushi Kiss is described as a midtonal coral but with a bit of a milky, satin finish. I had to blot this color on and if applied full strength, it's very white looking. So when I wear Sushi Kiss, I pair it with the MAC Auburn lip liner pencil just to tone it done.

Flamingo

Flamingo is described as a light, milky bright coral. It's very buildable and more on the pink side with a lustre finish. It's the perfect pink for summer.

Tart & Trendy

Tart & Trendy is described as a bright, neutral orange cream. I found this to be a buildable color as well with a lustre finish. I really enjoyed this lipstick. It glides on very smooth and delivers color beautifully.

Tangerine Dream

Tangerine Dream is described as a warm orange cream. It glides on more sheer since my lips are pigmented. However, I like that fact since it comes across as an orange sheer nude! Amazing huh? Therefore, I can wear Tangerine Dream as just a hint of orange of my lips. To add color though, I paired Tangerine Dream with Chicory lip liner by MAC. This made the color more solid and bold.

Maybelline The Falsies "Big Eyes" Mascara

Maybelline has added another mascara to The Falsies line called "Big Eyes" for the summer and let me tell you, it delivers. I picked up mine at Walmart but it should be in drugstores by now.

I got the color Blackest black. What I enjoy (and find rather innovative) about this new mascara is that it has 2 ends with 2 different wands: one for the top lashes (purple end) and another for the bottom lashes black end). I found this mascara to be light weight and long lasting. The formula is not dry or too wet either, providing nice application.

Top Lash brush

I did notice that the top mascara wand has a bit of a swivel to it, suggesting to me that you need to twist/turn the wand as you apply for better volume, separation and length. If you do not turn as you apply, I found that the mascara did clump on my lashes a bit.
