Priced around $9, this mascara is a steal considering it offers the same, if not more volume than the fancy pants brands I pay upwards of $20 for. I’ve been using it for about a week now, and have to say I’m really impressed. The collagen infused formula is super rich, and makes my lashes look so lush my family actually thought I had a pair of falsies on the other night at dinner. It also gives lashes a hint of sheen, much like Maybelline’s Stiletto Lash mascara, which doesn’t offer nearly as much oomph.



Because this stuff is so rich however, you have to be very, very careful with clumps. The extra large brush makes for a thick application, but if there’s too much mascara on it your lashes will start sticking together and you’ll end up looking like the dearly departed Tammy Faye Baker.


Given this fact I won’t say I LOVED IT, but I definitely like it, and will probably buy it again.


Price: $9
Verdict: LIKE IT
Get it: at drug stores

There is only one person on this earth I love more than Britney Spears, and that is the ever fabulous Miss Mariah Carey. I’ve been just dying for her new song to drop, and today I got an earful of what is sure to be one of her biggest hits to date.

The beat is sick, the lyrics are clever, and let’s just say I don’t think Eminem will be too excited when he hears what my girl has to say about him. Check the song out here, and behold the perfection that is this photo.



PS- Thanks to Sabrina for reminding me this came out today on her lovely site, TheCandyReport. Check it out and support one of my old SF State homegirls!

This week, I give you the sugary sweet tune that paved the way for Bobby Brown, Johnny Gil and the rest of the gang to become 90s mega stars. Just listen to this song and TRY not to smile, I dare ya!

A few of you asked about the make-up I wear in my non-tutorial vids, and since that’s my everyday make-up I figured I’d do a quick tutorial as I was getting ready for work this morning. Enjoy!
