Favorite Drugstore Mascara

Here they are!!!!! My favorite drugstore mascaras: :)


1. Wet 'n' Wild Mega Volume

2. Maybelline Full'n Soft

3. NYC Big Bold Curl

1. Wet 'n' Wild Mega Volume

I talked about Wet 'n' Wild's Mega Volume Mascara in my last blog post. It has recently become a favorite of mine. One coat is enough to make my lashes black and to some extent fuller than usual. The spoolie/brush is on the thin side with short bristles (see photo below) and I think that's one of the reasons why it doesn't make my lashes clumpy, which I love. You can find it here. You can't go wrong with this mascara if you're on a budget since it does the job AND it's cheap. 

2. Full'n Soft

I've been using this mascara for a while now. I can say with confidence that it's my favorite mascara ever. The name describes it perfectly. It makes my lashes supper full and soft at the same time. It's clump free and most importantly it's one of those mascaras that you can wear without needing to wear eyeliner. See here.

3. Big Bold Curl

Once again another product that is described well by it's name. I never have to curl my lashes when wearing this mascara. It opens up my eyes effortlessly and with only one coat. The boldness however is achieved with applying multiple coats. Love this mascara. :) See here.

Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick in Venezia

This is my first time trying a lip product by Stila, but I have used eyeliners by this brand. What I like about their eyeliners is that they're very creamy, and the first thing I noticed/loved about this lipstick was that it also has a very creamy consistency. Another thing I noticed right off the bet was that it has a very good color payoff - little bit goes a long way. I could confidently say that it's a full coverage lipstick. It also dries matt if that's what you're interested in, but if you have dry lips like me you should be careful with matt lipsticks because they do tend to accentuate the dryness of your lips. Unfortunately this fact also applied here, and it is the only downside about this product. It looked perfectly fine at first but as the day went by I noticed that my lips were looking more chapped than usual.  

Now that I got that out of the way, a couple more things that I liked were how weightless it is on the lips and, most importantly, that it photographs well.  Here is a photo that was taken during the day with natural lighting.

The shade I got is Venezia. On the Stila website it's described as "bright red;" however, I think it has a tint of orange. So I would describe it as "Orange-red" rather than just "bright red."

This lipstick comes in  four more shades: Rosa (Bubble Gum Pink), Como (Bright Violet), Bella (Bright Pink) and Amalfi (Coral Pink). Shop Here .
