Too Faced 'Better Than Sex" Mascara Review!

I can sum up this mascara in 2 words: Holy Grail. Of course, you're all here for a full review of it, so I'll give you more than just two words. I first tried this mascara a little over a year ago when I got a mini sized one with the Too Faced "Everything Nice' limited edition holiday palette and I fell in love. It is the best mascara if you want dramatic, fuller and longer lashes. I've tried many mascaras and they all promise to both add length and volume, but usually only manage one. This mascara actually does both. I notice my lashes are noticeably thicker and longer. My makeup looks are so so much more dramatic and pretty when I use this mascara, I swear by it. It is not a waterproof formula (I'm not sure if it comes in a waterproof formulation at all) but that was not a problem. I never had any issues with smudging or even black raccoon eyes in the rare occasion I shed a tear or sweat. (of course, you will get some nice black raccoon eyes if you sh

TV Talk: Scream Queens: Season 1

Note: The first half of this post is a general review, mainly intended for people who have not yet watched the show and contains NO spoilers. The second half is a review of the final episodes and does contain spoilers.  I just spend the past couple days binge watching Scream Queens. In my defense, I recently got my wisdom teeth removed and thus needed some laid back recovery time. It is also very, very addictive. I am a huge fan of American Horror Story, so when I saw that Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk were working on another show, I was definitely intrigued. I decided to give it a shot. Overall, I'm pretty happy I did. The show has not yet been renewed for a second season, but I'm really hoping it will be, partially because I did get pretty invested in the story, but mostly because it ended on quite the cliffhanger, as season finales tend to. When I first began watching the show, I was sure I liked it. I didn't find the characters to be particularly likeable (and ye

Maybelline 'Lash Sensational' Mascara Review

If you're looking for a mascara that can lengthen your lashes significantly, but also keep them looking natural, then this is the mascara you've been looking for. There was a lot of hype surrounding this mascara, and I've often been disappointed when giving into the hype so I avoided it for a while. However, I recently ran out of my trusty 'Better Than Sex' mascara and it was on sale, so I decided to buy it and give it a try. I can honestly say that this product is SO worth the hype. I like using this mascara on a daily basis when I want my lashes to look longer and like they have a little something there, but not over-the-top. It doesn't flake or smudge at all, which I love. I use the regular, non-waterproof formula, but I haven't had any issues with that. I find that the formula is pretty wet, but once it dries, it looks great and doesn't smudge. I do find that it's not the most buildable mascara and it tends to clump a bit on me if I add
