Essence Lash Mania Reloaded Mascara Review

I bought this and no affiliate links either...

I love trying mascaras. Mascara is second on my list of products I love, right after lipstick. I have tried all sorts and currently have 4 waiting for me to try. Good thing I just finished up my 2 open tubes!

This round of trials I am going with this bargain from Essence. How will it compare to other lash-enhancing black formulas I have tried? Will it be good for my sensitive eyes?

My April 2014 Ipsy Bag--Beauty Rocks!

I bought this bag myself...no affiliate links either.

This month's theme to the subscription-based Ipsy bag  is "Beauty Rocks!" and boy, does it rock this month! The cute, little nylon pouch is stuffed full of goodies this month, including something I was interested in :D Score for actually saving me money Ipsy! 

Let's take a look inside now...

Covergirl Smoochies Sizzle Gloss Review

I got this in my Target Box that I bought in March. No affiliate links either. 

Does anyone else remember Covergirl Smoochies lipbalm and gloss from middle and high school? I do. I disticntly remember their candy smell and I just loved feeling so grown-up wearing them. I have three or four of the balms, and at least two of the glosses. Even though they didn't provide much color, it was a way to have my makeup approved by my mom before I started working and buying my own (hello Estee Lauder counter!).

I was very, very excited to see in my awesome Target box a cute, peachy pink Sizzle Gloss staring up at me. Would it be everything I remembered?
