Product Review!

OMG, so if you don't follow my twitter, I'll repeat myself here. LOL! So I was working on my Japan post.. what with it's over 350 pictures and all.. and I was on that thing like butter on bread for 2 hours!! Since blogger only allows you to upload 5 pictures at a time.. and lists then in alphabetical and numerical order.... I had to pull up 3 diff folders I had set up on my desktop right next to the uploading screen to match up which pictures go in what order since it was a mix of pictures from my cam, my lil sis's cam, and my mom's cam! But.. when I finally finished it all blogger screwed it up some how!! there's random pics I didn't upload in random sequences and and.. ahhhh.. I was too tired to fix it.. and then the next day I had to pack up everything and move! I need to turn in the keys on Tues.. basically be all done on Monday.. and since I'm never at my apt on the weekends, I had to move everything.. well mostly everything.. on Friday! My lil sis and her bf came to help of course! Anyway.. I'll have the Japan post up soon but probably not until after I finish moving! HMM.. the cable guy is coming Tues morning.. and my new bed is being delivered anywhere from 5-9 PM on Tues.. but I'm in class until 6 PM.. so I dunno.. guess I have to leave class early or something.

ANYWAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Onto the product review!!


Quick Blurb:
This was a blind purchase! I went to CVS to pick up some Cortizone cream because I got bit or stung by... SOMETHING.. not sure what.. but it itched like crazy and puffed up into a red spot the size of the white scrolling disc circle on an Ipod Classic!! HUGE! I took a picture but it's not uploaded yet so trust me, I'll gross you all out in time! hehehehe! Anyway.. I was down and sad about the big swollen yucky thing on my thigh.. so I went to the makeup section to cheer myself up! I got an Loreal Voluminous waterproof mascara refill, my FAV drugstore mascara of all time, the only one I use but hey I'm always open to trying new ones to replace it! The tube looked really cool so I bought it! LOL.. sucker for packaging I tell you.



COST:
$7-8, not bad for a mascara

ITEM:
L'Oreal Extra Volume Collagen waterproof Mascara

COLOR/Texture/Whatnots:
I got this in Black, and it's a nice creamy mascara, dries pretty fast as well. It's not too watery and it doesn't clump my lashes! This provides pretty good volume and lengthens pretty well!! This actually does hold a decent curl! I LOVVVVVVVVVE the brush!! This is the type of brush I like, brushes that are slighly curved in the middle, sort of an hour glass shape ish. The middle is slightly curved which allows helps me when I'm curling my lashes.

THOUGHTS/HOW?:
I have your stereotypical short asian straight lashes that point downwards and take a lot of effort to curl, which is why I USUALLY avoid or don't put on mascara. My lashes are so short that usually without a mascara primer, you can't tell I'm wearing mascara. I just recently started wearing mascara more often and WITHOUT a primer, Loreal Extra Volume collagen mascara makes my lashes a little longer but gives it quite a bit of volume! Which is perfect! My only other favs are Lancome Hypnose, Loreal Voluminous, and Kiss Me Heroine Mascara, just to give you a taste of the types of mascara that actually work with me.

PROS:
- packaging is niiiice
- LOVE the brush, my fav type of brush, not too big, not too small
- creamy consistancy.. not too watery, not too drying
- no weird smell
- doesn't irritate my eyes
- waterproof!
- cheap for mascara!

CONS:
- could provide MORE length ya know?

:) ok that is all, I just didn't want to seem like I was never gonna blog again. LOL! I updated my lemming list too!!!! YAY! I've been eyeballing the panasonic heated eyelash curler, some other mascaras, and ya know... just more stuff. HEHEHEHE!

hey girl~ nice review~ I have the panasonic heated lash curler and used it on my stubborn asian lashes..with not much luck =( if I don't use it with mascara, it doesn't do much at all and when I do use it with mascara it melts it.
