Hi everyone! Over a week ago I was desperate for some
products and I didn’t have time to order anything online, so I went to the
drugstore. I figured I would review each product in case you came across these
yourself :)
What its supposed
to do: time release formula that provides a mousse and silky application
that lasts all day without feeling flaky, caky, or heavy
Pros: full
coverage, applies silky smooth, does not flake, long-lasting
Cons: packaging
as the potentional to become unsanitary after several uses, long lasting but 24
hours? More like 12 maximum. Also, I definitely think it starts to look cakey
around 12 hours.

What its supposed to
do: fragrance free formula that gently removes makeup (even waterproof and
long wearing) while also conditioning the lashes
My thoughts: I honestly wanted to love this product but I didn’t. I found that I was tugging
my eyes to get the makeup off even without waterproof mascara. Not only did it
take tugging and pulling to get my eye makeup off, the formula slightly burned.
The product does condition the lashes but leaves a greasy residue.
Pros: Conditions
lashes, removes makeup
Cons: removes
makeup w/ tugging and pulling, slightly burns, greasy residue

What its supposed to
do: detoxify and exfoliate with ingredients like black sugar and charcoal
My thoughts: I
actually was surprised with this mask. For $4 I wasn’t sure how I was going to
like it. I definitely think it exfoliated nicely. My skin felt soft and squeaky-clean
shiny. I was hoping to for the charcoal to pull some of my black heads b/c the
Glam Glow Clearing Mud Mask has that effect but the polishing mask had no
effect on my blackheads. For the low price it wasn’t bad, but I most likely
would not re purchase because I think you could use sugar you have in your
kitchen and have the same effect.
Pros: exfoliating,
low price
Cons: did not
clear up any black heads or blemishes

What its supposed to do: Creates soft definition and volume of the
lashes without irritation or clumping
My thoughts: I really like this mascara a lot. I have short thin
lashes and I think this product gives me volume without giving spider leg
looking lashes if you know what I mean. I original discovered this mascara from
the beauty blogger Jaclyn Hill. I can put coat after coat of this mascara and
it wont clump.
Pros: Smooth application, soft brush, does not clump
Cons: Have to replace frequently because the formula will start to
clump on the brush, creating too much product to be applied (but what mascara
do you not have to replace frequently?!)

Where to buy: CVS, Walgreens, Ulta
What its supposed to
do: Removes dirt, sweat, and makeup (eye makeup too); infused with
cucumbers, aloe vera, and green tea
My thoughts: I originally
picked out this product in particular because it had the beautiful red
certificate of “Allures Best of Beauty Awards 2011”. 90% of the time when I
choose a product that was part of Allure’s Best of Beauty I have good luck
with. Overall, I like this product. I thought it was very soothing and
refreshing. This is a great product to use after the gym. I think its best to
actually wash your face, but if your in a pinch this is a good product to go
to. My only complaint is that it says it removes eye makeup, which it does, but
it creates a burning sensation and makes my eyes red.
Pros: Soothing,
refreshing, cleansing
Cons: Doesn’t
deep clean, irritates the eyes
