Maybelline Colossal vs Cover Girl Lash Blast

This was my experiences with both mascaras:

The Maybelline Colossal claims to volumnize your lashes.  It carries large bristles and semi runny formula.  I gotta say, I was not fond of the scent.  I was bothersome by it.  The mascara did add volume, but weighed down my lashes when I curled them prior to application.  I don't have a good opinion on this one.

The Cover Girl Lash Blast claims to volumnize also.  I has a wide wand with short rubber bristles.  It doesn't look appealing at first, but after application, it does MAGIC.  LOL.  It doesn't smell, it volumnize and seperates the lashes.  The formula is thick, but it does not make your lashes look like spider legs.  And it does not weigh down my lashes.  I am very pleased with this product and it is my current favorite mascara. 

Overall Rating:

Maybelleine Colossal: 2.5 out of 5

Cover Girl Lash Blast: 4.5 out of 5

These are my personal experience and opinion with each mascaras and they were purchased with my own money.

Maybelline Dream Mousse foundations - a review

Maybelline Dream Smooth Mousse:
Price tag: ranges from $7-$10 depending on retailer

Description: Creamy & smooth texture.
Shade- 180 Nude Beige (a light-medium warm/ pink toned beige) 
(This shade was a perfect match for my skin. For reference, I wear MAC's NC 25.)

Pros: easy to apply (with a sponge or foundation brush), hydrating (good for normal to dry skin), decent price tag, easy to travel with, medium coverage & dewy finish.

Cons: limited shade selection, no mirror, small amount of product, not suitable for oily skin

Overall I do really like this foundation. I have combo-oily skin (dry around my nose and chin, and oily on my t-zone) and I can make this work. I have to pat off excess shine one to two times throughout the day. I LOVE the finish. The coverage works well for me (on my days where I'm in a rush, I don't even need concealer). I prefer using a wedge or beauty blender-type sponge for application. It is great for when I only have 5-10 mins to spare for foundation.
Do I recommend this product? -Yes

Product Rating: 4/5

Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse:
Price tag: ranges from $7-$10 depending on retailer

Description: Thick whipped/mousse texture.
Shade- Sandy Beige Medium 1 (a medium cool/ yellow toned beige)
(This shade was a tad too tan for me, it would probably suit me in the summer.)

Pros: Pump w/ bottle, pump can twist to close, good amount of product, slightly better shade selection, light-medium coverage

Cons: can be cakey, glass bottle, not suitable for oily skin

I didn't like this foundation as much as the dream smooth mousse. I found it was cakey and didn't leave the same nice finish as the dream smooth. It also made my face shinier at the end of the day. This is a very average foundation.
Do I recommend this product? -No

Rating: 2.5/5
