Cee Vee Ess!

Hiiii!

I know, I know -- I have to blog about my Black Friday / Cyber Monday deals, but I HAVE to share a lil' sale that's going on:

Buy one get one 50% off mascaras at CVS (at least in Brooklyn)!

I had recently bought a mascara I'd never tried before -- I figured, "Why not? It's 7x volume! What's not to like?" Apparently, a lot. It did almost nothing for me. Well, nothing good, that is. No volumizing -- just little clumps and not a lot of length. I don't mean to brag, but this salesgirl right here has some mega lashes to show off, so I can't just use anything. They are pretty light-colored without any mascara, so I need something that will show them off.

I love Maybelline's Define-a-Lash. It is amazing. I started out with the green one (which lengthens your lashes) and then tried the pink one (which volumizes). Both are wonderful products! They key thing about this mascara is its brush. It totally won me over. That is a very important part of mascara -- the liquid itself can be great, but if you have a bum brush, all can be lost -- and fast. It's a bendable brush, which I think makes all the difference. It separates each and every lash and lengthens them to the sky : )

This is the one I'm using now:

This is the one I've tried and think is just as great:

Because the sale is buy one get one 50% off, I just HAD to get Maybelline's Lash Stiletto. I tried it once before and loved it. It really works! Not to brag or anything, but LS enabled my lashes to touch past my eyebrows -- this is quite amazing stuff!

This is what I just bought:

I would recommend each of these mascaras -- they are great, easy-to-use (and most importantly) inexpensive products that you can pick up at any drugstore. Works for me!

Have any of you tried these mascaras? Do they work for you, too?

Enjoy your weekends!
