Covergirl LashBlast Volume Mascara

With the Summer Olympics coming up, Covergirl has come up with a new display with athletes featuring the LashBlast Volume Mascara. Is this the same formula as the Lashblast Volume blasting Mascara or is it a brand new mascara? Covergirl has so many mascara that honestly I cannot keep up with them.

Sale Alert: Wet n Wild & Neutrogena 40% Off!!

Hey my Beautiful Friends!  I stopped by my local Rite Aid and they have Wet n Wild & Neutrogena 40% Off!!!  That's pretty darn good! 

I am good with my Wet n Wild Collection for awhile, but I feel like I should get something from Neurogena.  Any suggestions?

NEW Ardell Double Up Falsies

I saw these at Rite Aid and was immediately intrigued. These falsies are "doubled up", which means that they seemly have two layers of lashes that are already glued together. Now that's an interesting concept! That means no more two falsies together for those of us who have short lashes. It ain't cheap. It's $4.99. But if you think about buying two falsies and putting them together then I guess you are saving yourself a couple bucks. It comes in several styles. I spotted at least 4. See pictures!

Check them out! Let me know what you think!

Mac In Extra Dimension Swatches

I couldn't help myself. I spotted these at a mall and just had to swatch. And I must say that the colors are absolutely stunning and the pigmentation is off the chains. I would totally save up to purchase the whole collection but I just have way much makeup already!

Has anyone picked this up yet and what do you think?!
