Ardell Brown & Lash Accelerator
What it is: a clear mascara type product that promises to help thicken/lengthen lashes and brows.
Where to get it: Anywhere Ardell products are sold, I got mine from RiteAid.
How much: About $7
What I like about it: There's a LOT of product in the tube and there's no real time frame. So that way when you've noticed your brows or lashes are at the thickness or length you want, you can stop using it. Personally, I used this only on my lashes. I used it for roughly 2 weeks, religiously, and saw pretty awesome results. My lashes were much thicker. I'm not sure I saw a dramatic different in length, but they were definitely thicker. At some point, I'm planning on using this product again, just to see what more I could get out of it.
What I could do without: the smell. It smells kinda funky... not horrible though. Also, I could definitely do without waking up in the morning to a gooey feeling around my eyes. Its not the same feeling as having crusty eyes, but it bothers me the same way. It just feels like I got sleep all around my eyes, but I actually don't.
Overall: I've still got plenty of product left. And as I said, I'm gonna keep using it to get as much out of it as I can. But that might take a while so I don't think it would be necessary to repurchase.

What it is: Waterproof mascara that promises va-va-voom, volume lashes!
Where to get it: Anywhere CoverGirl products are sold.
How much: Anywhere from $6-$8, but since this is a relatively new product, there's usually some kind of promo that comes with it. At Target, for example, they sell this in a combo pack with CG eyeliner for $10. They also sell these in packs of 2 for $10.
What I like about it: This product truly performs! I've been using it every day for about 2 weeks straight now and I absolutely love it. It holds the curl of my lashes, pumps up the volume, and never looks overdone.
What I could do without: I'm sure the brush is big for a reason, but I think the tip of it could be smaller. That way, it would be easier to apply the product to the outer corners of my lashes.
Overall: I would most definitely buy this product again!

What it is: Lip balm with a burst of but sheer color.
Where to get it: Anywhere L'Oreal H.I.P. products are sold.
How much: About $7 for 4.5 Grams
What I like about it: This goes on very smooth and left my lips really soft. A little product goes a long way, despite its "jelly" name. Actually, it's not very jelly-like at all, feels a bit like any other balm but a touch softer. The color payoff is just right, too. The one I got is a grape color, and it really shows. But since it's sheer it kinda mixes with my natural lip color so it doesn't look outrageous.
What could be improved: I've always had lip balms in a stick form or tube so I thought I was ready for a change by going with this little pot. I was wrong, I think it's kinda disgusting always sticking your finger into the pot then applying product on your lips. So being as finicky as I am, I use a lip brush with this. If somehow they figured out how to repackage this product into a stick or a tube and still kept the consistency, then it would be like, the most perfect thing ever LoL.
Overall: Regardless of how much I don't like the packaging, I'd still buy it again when I run out. The product itself is just THAT good, in my opinion.
