Review: Cover Girl Jumbo Gloss balm

Hi Everyone!
I was at the drugstore the other night and came across these new jumbo gloss balms from Cover Girl. As soon as I saw them I new I had to give one a try because they reminded me of the popular Clinique Chubby Sticks.

On the display Cover Girl claims  claims “sheer color, soft shine, soft feel” that create “petal soft lips". I have to say I really agree with them! 

The one I got was " Blush Twist", it's a very natural blush colour and I really love it! These remind me a lot of the revlon lip butters but not as thick. They leave your lips looking moisturized and give a great pop of colour. They're also very lightweight.  I purchased this for $8.90 but I'm sure at Walmart you can get them for around $7.00 
They have a good variety of colours and I will definitely be back to pick up some more!
What do you think? Have you tried these out yet?

My Mascara Routine!

Hi Everyone! First I want to say a Happy Thanksgiving to all of my American friends! (I'm jealous of all of the yummy foods you will be eating!) I've been experimenting with a bunch of mascaras over the past month and I wanted to share with you guys my current favourite mascara routine. I'm a huge fan of thick and full lashes so if you're a fan as well then I would definitely recommend these products!

The products I use are Cover Girl Lash Blast, L'Oreal Voluminous Carbon Black, and a Tarte eyelash curler

My lashes aren't very short but they also are not very long and full so when applying mascara those are the two main things I try and achieve. 

First Step:
I take my favourite eyelash curler from Tarte and Curl my lashes

Second Step:
Next up I take the Cover Girl Lash Blast mascara and coat my lashes, winging out the outer corner. I use this mascara to separate, define and add some length to my lashes

Third Step:
Immediately after I take my L'Oreal Voluminous mascara and coat and wing out my lashes. I find this mascara is great for adding volume right at the root, as well as adding length.

Last Step:
Right after I'll grab my Cover Girl mascara and quickly go back over and make sure that there are no clumps and that the lashes are separated.

So that's it! That is my current mascara routine! I've been really loving this combo lately and I love how thick the roots look and how it almost makes it look like you have eyeliner on.
