Yesterday I decided to venture out of my comfort zone (which is department store make up) and went to a drug store. I have a new found love for lipstick and lip glosses and they can get really pricey at department stores!! Anyway, I found some coupons and headed off to Walgreens.
The first Item I got was:
This is the lash exact that frmheadtotoe swears by! She said it was build-able and holds the curl so I was ecstatic to get this in my shopping basket.
Verdict: I tried it today and I have to say it really does hold the curl. My eyelashes are still curled!! However, its not as build-able as I would like. I absolutely love the Lancome Hypnose Drama Mascara, but it doesn't hold a curl at all! I wish I could have the best of both worlds... can someone please make a suggestion!?
Item number two:
This is the Revlon Color Stay Mineral Lip Gloss. Its suppose to be a lip gloss that last for 8 hours! I got this in Endless Lilac and Perennial Pink. (They don't look like the online color swatches at all.)
Verdict: The first thing I noticed was the smell. Its this really really sweet fake strawberry smell. It is very true to the color that shows through the bottle. So, I've been wearing this lipgloss all day and it definitely doesn't stay for 8 hours. I can't say that it will last through a meal. Unless you don't eat... which is impossible for me, this lipgloss will never stay for 8 hours. On top of the lack of staying power... it drys up my lips pretty badly. My lips are intensely sensitive and peels on an extreme level...and I don't know if its just me but it feels like my lips are shriveling up! I would NOT recommend this lip gloss to anyone.
So I guess its not exactly two strikes, but I wasn't exactly thrilled with the experience. This wont be the last time I try drug store brands...but I have to say I am a bit discouraged! >.<
