I’m sure I’m not the only one who continues to search for that “perfect” mascara. Will I find it? Does it even exist? In my seemingly neverending search for the “perfect” mascara for my eye lashes, I happened upon Revlon’s ColorStay Overtime Lengthening Mascara. When it comes to drugstore brand mascaras, I tend to prefer CoverGirl and L’Oreal, although L’Oreal ticked me off by discontinuing my beloved Clean Definition Telescopic Mascara and replacing it with something poopy.

Is Revlon’s ColorStay Overtime Lengthening Mascara the next best thing for my lashes? Let us find out.

I don’t remember the last time I lusted after anything from Bare Escentuals. And speaking of which, does anyone else get easily confused on Bare Escentuals versus Bare Minerals? I know that Bare Escentuals is the brand (I think) and Bare Minerals is a product line of that brand but for some reason I find it infinitely confusing.

Anyhoo, I happened upon two super nifty new sets of loose eye shadows from the brand, and although I like them both, I really want only one. There are two new sets, both with seven loose eye shadows, one full of soft warm colors or “neutrals” called 7 Ways To Bare Vol 1, and the other with deeper and more rich smokey colors, called 7 Ways To Bare Vol 2. As much as I love the softer and more “wearable” colors, my eyes were immediately drawn to the darker, cooler set, Vol 2. I genuinely like the Bare Minerals loose eye shadows; they’re always very smooth and soft and easy to blend. There are also tons of different colors, from the most wearable to the bright and intense.

It’s true I don’t need any more eye shadows, let alone ones in this color range, but like most makeup fanatics, I lust after things I don’t need. Huzzah!

I’m finally getting the chance to review the items from IT Cosmetics New Year Your Most Beautiful You Collection. Back in December this was featured as an exclusive set as the TSV (Today’s Special Value) on QVC. Sadly, I didn’t receive the set until late January because of the rather massive and unfortunate issues that plagued UPS around Christmas. The items are still available for purchase but this specific set is only available in limited amounts.

There’s lots of goodies here! WEE!

I don’t think I’m alone in finding myself saying, “this is the most beautiful color of this product ever!” many, many, many times. I don’t think we can help. I think we are always finding lovely things and discovering that next one that’s more pretty than the one before. When it comes to cream eye shadows, I have little restraint so I’m almost always looking out for something new and pretty that catches my attention. My “next one that’s more pretty than the one before” is one of the Stay-On Shadow Paints from Estee Lauder in Cosmic.
