New Wet N Wild MAX Volume Mascara

I found this mascara at Walgreens for $4.99. It is Not water Proof, so keep that in mind if it's something you like.

I picked it up in late Dec. and have been using it since to get a good feel for it.

My lashes are medium length. They hold curl if curled with an eyelash curler. They are blonde, and have medium fullness.

Pros:

1.) It gives some length

2.) It gives volume

3.) Good price

4.) Doesn't clump with 2 coats

5.) Separates the lashes

Cons:

1.) Wet Formula

2.) It flakes off REALLY bad

3.) The tip holds onto a lot of product

4.) It's hard to get the inner corner lashes with the tip

5.) Burns my eyes

I wanted to like this mascara so badly. I just can't get over how bad it flakes off on me.

Just remember it might not do it to you so give it a try. For the price if it works you really can't beat it! If it doesn't then you're only out $5.

Thanks for reading and have a blessed day!

New Packaging WnW 2015 Lipsticks

Hello Everyone!

I picked up the New WnW lip sticks (New black tubes) quite a few weeks ago.

I went hunting at every dollar general around (5 stores) me to find them. I finally found them at the 5th store! (go figure LOL)

(L-R)

What's up, Doc? ....15 Minutes Aflame ....Will You Be With Me? .... Dark Wine

This is a great creamy almost neon Orange. It comes off a bit streaky on me, but is full coverage.

This is a bright neon Barbie pink with coral under tones. Not streaky at all, and the color on this is amazing!

503C is a pinky-purple nude. Comes off beautiful on the skin. Creamy, smooth and none streaky.

Dark Wine is the perfect dark lip. Not streaky and it doesn't take but one swipe to get good color pay off.

I just wanna start off saying these are still only $1, so you really can't beat the price with the color pay off above.

I've compared these New lip sticks to the old silver packaging, and I have to say I think they changed the formula a little!

The old lippies (I have 514A & 511B) are more waxy and you have to build up the color. The pictures above were taken after one swipe, and the color doesn't get much better. They are not as waxy, but still creamy, have a nice texture, and easy to apply. They still smell like the old lip sticks (reminds me of kid makeup), but that smell never lasted long after you put them on anyway.

I'm still not a huge fan of the packaging! It still feels cheap, and the lip sticks shake and move (you can hear them). I had them in a makeup drawer, and they actually got smooshed onto the lid from the opening and closing of the drawer (old ones did the same). So just keep that in mind. I do like the look better. They don't look cheap, and the cap is unique. These are all around good inexpensive lip sticks. They have a wide rang of color, so everyone can find something they like. So go pick them up!! They are now in CVS, Walgreens, and Rite Aid.

Thanks for reading! Hope you all have a great New Year!

Limited Edition Dollar Tree Finds! Haul 11-20-14

Hey everyone! I went to the Dollar Tree with my friend today, and I can't believe what I've found! TWO Limited Edition color tattoo's! Ahh!! Finally! I've been searching my DT's for all the things I've been seeing get hauled on YT. Here are the colors I've found!

So pretty right! I also found two others, but I don't think they are limited edition.

Love these so much! I picked up doubles of the two mattes up top for a Christmas gift. These make great stocking stuffers!

Catch you in the next post! Thank's so much for reading!

CVS Semi Annual Sale Haul #3 Fall 2014

Here is my last and Final CVS Sale Haul. This sale has been one of the best and worst. This year something's will be on sale at one store, and not at another. It's never been like that every other year I've shopped it. You have to spend extra time scanning items, not to mention you have to make sure they are sealed, or if the seal is broken; you have to make sure its not used. I'm hoping the next sale will have more products, and will show sale price at all location's! CVS get it together! My stores are 15 min away from one another, so this has just blown my mind. Maybe it's always been like this, and I've never noticed.
