Covergirl Wet Slicks Crystals
Haha, I just realized I haven’t reviewed a lip gloss in over a year! It’s even better that I very rarely wear lipstick – I almost always go for a gloss. So here’s a first – enjoy!
It’s hard for me to pass up lip gloss when I’m out shopping – they’re just so pretty – and really, can you ever have enough? I had never tried Covergirl’s Wet Slicks Crystals Lip Gloss before so I thought I’d give it a go.
I’m pretty happy with it. While the brush isn’t anything special it does apply the lip gloss well, leaving my lips looking great but not feeling sticky. I have to reapply a few times throughout the day, particularly after eating. I really like the color – I went with Crush, a pink – it adds color and a little sparkle but it’s overpowering.
Wet Slicks Crystals Lip Gloss is available in eleven different colors – from berry to clear, and available at your local drugstore.
Disclosure: I bought this lip gloss for myself.

Covergirl Professional Super Thick Lash Mascara
I recently picked up this mascara at the drug store. I just can’t resist mascaras!
I decided to go with very black. The brush is great – I really like it. It’s not huge but it feels like it has substance. I thought it was easy to get the little lashes in the corners too. The formula was good too – it wasn’t clumpy and it added volume to my lashes. It stayed put and disn’t smudge throughout the day.
There are four colors available, but unfortunately it’s not available in a waterproof formula. According to the Covergirl website it’s ophthalmologically tested as well as being a great pick for sensitive eyes and those who wear contacts.
Covergirl’s Professional Super Thick Lash Mascara is available at your local drugstore for $8.

CoverGirl Aqua Smoothers Liquid Foundation
I picked up CoverGirl’s Aqua Smoothers Liquid Foundation at Walmart awhile ago. I was there to pick up some other stuff but once again the cosmetics area drew me it like it does almost every time I go there.
The CoverGirl websites touts that this vitamin enriched formula will last for hours while still being lightweight. This foundation is fragrance free, oil free (great for those of us with oily skin),won’t clog pores, and is hypoallergenic. It’s available in 12 different shades.
But after wearing it for awhile, I have to say that I’m not too impressed with it. Although it was the right shade for my skin it still didn’t look quite right – kind of ashy. It just didn’t look very natural. Although I didn’t think it was too greasy, I found the formula to be a little too watery. I tried mixing it with a little moisturizer and it ended up not working at all. Usually mixing liquid foundation with moisturizer isn’t a problem – but this one was just too watery.
Although this foundation was pretty inexpensive I wouldn’t buy it again. I usually finish using up product, even if I haven’t totally loved it, but I haven’t used this one in a couple weeks. I just don’t like the color or the consistency.
Available at your local drugstore.

Cover Girl Lash Blast Mascara
Hi ladies. First off I have to apologize for the lack of posts over the last few weeks. What can I say other than the fact that summer got in the way of regular postings. Sorry about that. But now onto the product review……
So I just might be the last person on earth to try Cover Girl’s Lash Blast mascara. Better late than never right? In short, I love it and I can’t believe it took me so long to try it.
The brush seemed huge at first, but once I got the hang of it I really liked how it went on. I found that it gave my lashes some serious volume and left them looking really full. I know some people haven’t liked the bigger brush but I really liked it. I’m not very coordinated and I found it easier to apply because the brush was bigger, although I did find it a little tough to get those little lashes in the corner without getting mascara on my skin.
Lash Blast comes in four colors, from brown to very black, as well as in waterproof. According to the website it’s hypoallergenic, smudge and smear-proof, and safe for people who wear contacts.
I ended up having to go to a couple stores before I found the color I wanted in the washable formula because they were sold out, so be warned that you might have to do a little searching for it, but this mascara is worth it.
