My Top 3 Lip Balms

#3: EOS Lip Balm
I love these lip balms! The first thing that really intrigued me was the packaging, it's so cute and unique. Secondly I loooove the smell! They each have their own distinct smell and flavour that's irresistable. In the past I've always had a problem with lip products giving me a sore throat after a few hours of wearing them but this is one of the only lip balms that hasn't made me throat sore! I also love how they contain natural ingredients such as shea butter and jojoba oil. They are rating my #3 because I wish they were a bit more moisturizing on my lips.

#2: Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment
I fell in love with this lip balm after I received it as my Sephora birthday gift. I love how they have an spf of 15 and I loveee the creamy soft consistency. This lip balm just melts into your lips and I find almost no other lip balms compare. However, I rated this my #2 because I hate the price.

#1: Vaseline Lip Therapy in Cocoa Butter
This is my holy grail lip balm. It has a lovely creamy consistency that glides on the lips perfectly. The thing that sold me on this lip balm is that it literally lasts for hours! I've never found a lip balm this hydrating. I put it on before bed and when I wake up after 8 hours I can still feel it on my lips. Even after I eat breakfast I can still feel my lips being moisturized. I highly suggest you try it and the best part is that you can buy it for about $2!

Mascara, which is best?

I've always been on the search for my holy grail mascara, the above mascara's are what I've tried in 2013 and I will rate them from worst to best.

5. Revlon Lash Potion Mascara

I was really not impressed with this mascara, I found that barely any product went on my lashes and it would leave small chunks of mascara on my lashes which was very unappealing. I also found that it didn't make my eyelashes look that much longer or voluminous. It also flakes off really easily and leaves black flakes under my eyes throughout the day.

4. Rimmel Scandaleyes Mascara

This is my most recent purchase because it was on sale. I actually don't mind this mascara, it makes my lashes look very long but not too voluminous. My eyelashes also feel very soft when I'm wearing this mascara. The only reason why this mascara comes in at #4 for me is because I find the brush awkwardly large thick so it's hard to get the lashes that are in the inner corner of my eye without getting it in my skin. I also find that this mascara flakes slightly but not as bad as the Revlon Lash Potion Mascara.

3. Clinique High Impact Mascara

I have repurchased this mascara about 3 times and I absolutely love it. This mascara gives great length to your lashes and won't flake. I wouldn't recommend this mascara if you want bold dramatic lashes but it's amazing for an everyday natural look. It's also very easy to remove with makeup remover but it also doesn't smudge if you rub your eyes. 

2. Benefit They're Real Mascara

I love this mascara. After I got a small sample size from Sephora I had to repurchase it in full size. It makes your lashes extremely long and voluminous. I always get compliments when I wear this mascara. It truly coats your lashes from root to tip and gives your eyes a very intense look. The only reason why this mascara isn't my #1 is because I find it nearly impossible to get off even with makeup remover! It's waterproof formula definitely will stand up to the rain or when you go swimming but I could never get all of it off at night and eventually I found that my lashes would start falling out because I would have to rub my eyes so hard to get the mascara off. I don't use this mascara everyday but I use it when I'm going out on the weekend and I want an intense look.

1. Maybelline The Rocket Mascara

I was skeptical to buy this mascara because I didn't think it would live up to its hype. I finally purchased it and I'm so glad I did. I actually would compare this mascara to Benefits They're Real Mascara. I find it makes your lashes very full and long and I would get compliments by beauty experts every time I went into Sephora or Mac. It doesn't clump and doesn't flake. I bought the non waterproof formula so that it can be removed easier, but it also will not smudge if you rub your eyes or go out in the rain. So far this is definitely my favourite mascara and you should try it if you haven't already.

If you have any mascara recommendations please leave a comment below, I'm always looking for new things to try.
