Maybelline Pumped Up Colossal Express Mascara

If I could only choose one makeup item to use everyday, it would be mascara. Lashes are my weakness. I need me some volume and doll like lashes.

My recent obsession has been Dior Show Extase Mascara, but at almost $30 that's a bit steep, even for my lash obsessed self. You can see my love for this major splurge mascara in my recent High End Haul and Highly Requested Purple Eye Tutorial on my channel.

Last week I discovered a close drugstore dupe to this high-end mascara and it is the Maybelline Pumped Up Colossal Express Mascara. I did a whole first impression on this baby and got tons of complements throughout the day. A Sephora makeup artist even asked what I used.

You can check out the first impression video here and see it in action yourself or just press play below.

Maybelline Rocket Volume Express Mascara Review

MAYBELLINE’S NEW ROCKET MASCARA REVIEW

So I finally opened up my new Maybelline Rocket Mascara and used it this morning and I have to say I love it. I was a little skeptical, since the last new mascara I tried was disappointing. I have been using the L’oreal Millions mascara in the gold tube, and had high expectations, but sadly were not met.
As always I curl my lashes with an eyelash curler before applying my mascara. 
The new Rocket Mascara REALY Volumizes like it claims. I’m shocked at how much fuller my lashes look. I applied 1 coat on each eye, then went back and applied a second coat. It doesn’t lengthen as much as I’d like, but then again it never claims to be great at lengthening.
Being Asian, I do everything I can to create fuller, longer, and curlier lashes. Usually I spend more money on higher end mascaras to create the look I prefer, but with mascara it’s so difficult since it should be changed every 3 months for sanitary reasons. So I’m very happy with the new Maybelline Rocket Mascara especially since you can get it for about $6 from target :-)

First Impressions: Maybelline Vivid Lipsticks

First Impression of Maybelline’s new Vivid Lipsticks
I’m actually really digging these beauties!
So today I filmed a first impressions video on them and you can see what they all look like on me as soon as that’s up.
But basically the color payoff on these are amazing! They are very vibrant and go on smooth and creamy. I don’t feel like i’m wearing lipstick and the color really stays on. It actually stains your lip a little, so be prepared for that.
As you may know I hate wearing lips products that feel sticky, waxy, or heavy on me. I’m also not a fan of weird tastes and smells, but these do not taste like anything and they definitely don’t have a sent to them.
I am defiantly a fan of these new lipsticks!
my favorites are on fire red and hot plum
