Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Xtreme Wear Nail Polish

Like many, I'm sick of nail polish that starts to chip off after less than 24 hours, or nail polish that takes what seems like forever to dry. I don't know about other folks, but it drives me nuts when I spend time painting my nails perfectly and I brush them against something when they're still wet and ruin the paint job.
Then I discovered Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear nail polish and to say I'm pleased with this product would be an understatement.
I have two shades of this particular product: Blue Me Away and Gunmetal. The former was me seeking out this particular shade of fluorescent blue and the latter was an impulse buy (a gorgeous metallic blue-grey). One thing I loved right off quality-wise is this stuff dries FAST.I will paint the nails on one hand, and by the time I've painted the other nails, those first ones are totally dry and ready for a second coat.
A second coat will take a little longer to dry, but not nearly as long as your average nail polish. And second, this stuff really sticks to your nails. While most other brands (like Wet 'N Wild) will start to chip off after less than a day, Sally Hansen's Xtreme Wear colors usually won't start to fall off for at least a week.
Quick-drying and long-lasting - what more can you ask for in a nail polish? I absolutely recommend this brand - it's perfect and it's very affordable (I got Gunmetal from CVS for about $3), and the color selection is very lovely.

Maybelline Volum' Express Turbo Boost

I was on the lookout for a volumizing mascara that would not cost an arm and a leg, and I happened upon Maybelline's Volum' Express Turbo Boost mascara. While it cost a bit more than what I'd like to pay for a single container of make-up (drugstore cosmetics shopper, personally), I must say I was (and still am) very impressed with the quality. I saw a considerable difference in lash length, and of course a gorgeous and dramatic jet-black color.
In addition, this product doesn't clump like cheaper mascaras - there might be a little lump here and there, but due to how much this mascara bulks out your lashes, they really aren't noticeable unless you actually run your fingers over your lashes. The mascara goes on smooth and stays bold all day long.
Conclusion? I'd absolutely recommend this for anyone wanting fuller, darker eyelashes without the hassle of spending a ton of money.
