I could totally have spent my time for today’s post talking about how disrespectful some presidential candidates are and about “that guy” and last night’s debate in general - but instead have chosen to post about something REALLY REALLY important - Mascara!

 

Now I have used Maybelline brand mascara for as long as I can remember - it really is the best mascara that you can get for the least amount of money.  For years I have used Maybelline’s Volume Express Turbo Boost (Exhibit No. 1), which boasts 7x the volume in your lashes and I have been totally satisfied with it.  But last night while I was in Target, I saw Maybelline’s new product “The Colossal Volume Express” (Exhibit No. 2) and this one was promising 9x the volume in your lashes.

Now before I go further - it is important to know that to really see a result in a mascara, you need to put on several coats on each eye and you need to apply the coats before they dry.  With Exhibit No. 1, I usually put on 4 to 5 coats on each eye.  I have blonde eyelashes and have to really coat them to make them stand out.  It works well and it really does not take that long to put on, since that is all I usually put on make-up wise.  With Exhibit No.2 - The Colossal - it worked as well if not better and I got the same results with only two coats!!!

 

Overall review?  Good!  Both products are great, but the new one uses less mascara and takes less time for the same result.  So if you are looking for a new mascara that you can buy from a store like Target and that won’t break your wallet, I would suggest Maybelline’s new “The Colossal Volume Express” - I believe that I paid around $6.00 for it.  So there you have it!
