Wandering though Rite aid yesterday again trying to locate the Prestige High Intensity liners that Tish cant stop raving about. Still they were sold out but I did stumble into a great deal on the clearance rack.
I found a Physicians Formula  kit that included the 3-in-1 Sculpting trio and 3 brushes from the brand. All of this for the low Markdown price of $3.74 out the door! ( reg. $12.99)

I like the Trio. The face powder blends perfectly into my skin. The highlight is not to shimmery. The bronzer is a nice soft shade too. I really want to use this. But it seems like there will be a trick to using one at a time in one pan. Since the colors are so close together. My brushes are definitely to large to pick up one color.

See swatches above of the trio. Highlighter on top, Face Powder Middle and Bronzer on the bottom.
The brushes that came with the kit are nice but a bit rough so I probably wont be using these. But for the $3.74 price tag I think the trio was well worth it!

Have you tried anything by this brand?

Oh where oh where is my perfect mascara? I can almost promise you I have used almost every mascara by every brand. From Department store to Drugstore.. I am constantly trying what’s new, following the hype and hoping for the best…

I have problem lashes. Short, thin and straight. For most people it is easy to find a mascara that you love and that works for you. But for those who have problem lashes like me… here is some of my opinions on the ones I have at home currently…

1. L’Oreal Telescopic Explosion- Besides loving the red and black packaging and the fun new Givenchy ‘ish new wand. This works great to grab the short little inner lashes. I love it for my bottom lashes. It really did lengthen my lashes. On the top I don’t like this so much because my lashes are so straight (they wont curl) it looks funny. I prefer volume instead. But for someone else this maybe just what you are looking for! Check out Liz’s review and swatches of the two mascara’s compared! 
2. Maybelline Pulse Perfection- ok sorry… Not a fan! I hate having to hold the button while applying to get the benefits of the vibration. Wouldn’t have an on/off switch worked better?  Secondly Maybe I got to excited trying to suck out the benefits of the vibrating brush and applied to much… or maybe it just made my lashes clumpy and gross. Seriously I applied. Combed through and if I wasn’t on my way to work I would have removed it all and started again. I hated the way my lashes looked and felt. 
3. Maybelline Colossal Mascara- I love this Mascara. Love. This could be partially due to my short straight wont curl lashes. It doesn’t lengthen (which is perfect for me) but gives great volume! It feels great on my lashes. Not heavy or flaky. 
4. Stila Multi Effect Mascara- For the ladies with problem lashes like mine.. Dont waste your money. No length. No Volume. It did coat my lashes but it did not help accentuate them in any way! Now I am not saying I dont like Stila Mascara because Stila Lash Visor was fabulous! But Multi Effect is not my friend… 
5. Bobbi Brown Lash Glamour Mascara- This feel nice on my lashes. adds length but not to much volume. It compares to some of the drugstore I have already mentioned here… So for the price, Ill stick to the supermarket.
6. It Cosmetics Try to Look Away Mascara- Check here for full details… So So Stuff for me…
7. Revlon Double Twist Mascara- I have mixed feelings about this. I think I like the brush. My lashes are BLACK with this stuff. Definitely added the volume… But it is a little flaky.Want more info? Check out Crystal S review here.
8. Mark Make it Big Plumping Mascara- This barely felt as if it was coating my lashes. The brush was really similar to the Stila one above and my opinion is about the same as well.  
9. Physicians Formula Plump Potion Mascara- I like the way it feels on my lashes. Not dry or flaky. But it. But Plump Potion? Comeon.,.. In my opinion there was no plumping.
10. Bare Escentuals Classic Mascara- Very Black. I really am not trying to be repetitive. But again. I dont have much to say about this mascara. Very Black, true. But thats the only benefit it offered me.

All in all. I think Colossal  gets my vote for Favorite out of the 10 above. Have you tried any of the mentioned products? What are your thoughts??

Psst…  with all my mascara drama I have really been considering lash extensions… Any one done it? Share your experience!
