<3 Happy Valentine's Day!!! <3
Hey Ya'll! I was really excited about testing out some of my new products, that I did two at the same time, sooo, figured I would do their review together as well. Hope this helps if you are looking for a good quality blush and/or mascara!
Yesterday was full of errands. I just wanted a natural(ish) look but enough cover up so I don't look like night of the living dead and start scaring small children! =D I applied all of my makeup around 8:30AM and the picture was taken probably around 9:45 PM, going through the day without touch ups. I ran errands (bank,gas,grocery, etc.) came home, walked the dog, went out for a Valentine's Eve dinner, walked around a store then chilled before bed.
This is how the blush and mascara held up through a 13 hr day(crrrap, I forgot to take a before picture, but I was just so excited when I got home that night, I really wasn't planning to do a 'first impressions' type review, oh well, you can still see the color,lol)

Excuse the dark circles and imperfections...like I said, I just put on some tinted moisturizer, didn't conceal.
Wet N Wild Color Icon Blusher in Pearlescent Pink
$2.99
I was amazed at how well the color stayed!!! Seriously, I never have luck with drugstore blushes staying on (my medicines cause me to sweat so I find most blushes slide off or fade after a few hours). I wore Merle Norman's lasting cheekcolor for years, and it really is lasting! BUT it is also, I believe, around $26! Hmmm, let's see...$26 VS. $2.99!? Yep, no brain-er!
- It is extremely pigmented, so a little goes a long way.
- It stayed where I applied it
- Dermatologist tested, won't clog pores(also, doesn't enhance the look of pores)
- Very build-able and blend-able
- Goes on smooth, not chalky or too drying
**You can usually find amazing Wet N Wild deals in the drugstores (buy1 get 1 50% off, buy 1 get 1 free, plus earn reward dollars or points) I will check Sunday's paper to see if there are any deals, then edit them into this post!
Revlon Bold Lacquer Mascara
Lately I have been on a mission to find a great mascara...for YEARS I was wearing Merle Norman's Lash Lift waterproof Mascara, but not only did they change their formula, it was also $14!!! It did last me a long time, so I got my moneys worth, but still, that's pricey. Anyways, I have extremely sensitive eyes and that was the only thing that didn't irritate them...until they changed the formula. So I went on the hunt for the best mascara for my eyes...let me tell you, there are some doosies(I'll be doing FAIL reviews for them later)!

As you can see, it didn't flake or smudge throughout the day(I didn't wipe under my eyes at any point) and it didn't give you that black 'goo' in the corner of your eye like some do.
I initially wanted the waterproof kind, because I thought it wouldn't irritate my eyes as bad, but they were out and I was desperate,lol. So I chose the regular, and I must say, I am impressed!
- It went on incredibly well! I love full lashes and I didn't have to stand there forever trying to get it to build to get that consistency
- It didn't smudge (when applying or throughout the day)
- It didn't flake!
- Separated and lengthened the lashes
- Didn't clump
- LOVED the brush on it
- Came off extremely easy (and didn't get in eye while removing, yep one fail mascara left me crying black)
- Stayed curled all day! What!? That never happens with my lashes!
- I did not have ANY eye irritation from this formula!!!! Never once were they itchy or watery, and did not bother my contacts at all
**I post new reviews everyday!**
Hope you have a wonderful Sunday Funday!
