Favorite Drugstore Mascara

Hi Beauties!,

Sorry for the lack of posts lately. The summer is officially here and I'm really trying to spend more time outside and away from computers. :-)

Today, I was applying my mascara and I realized that it's time to buy my 3rd tube of this mascara. It is none other than the Maybelline Colossal Mascara (waterproof black)!

I really love this mascara because it is very buildable and the wand does not cause my lashes to clump. I do have to say that in order to get the COLOSSAL lashes they clai, you do need to apply 2 to 3 coats (quickly before the formula sets).

Which are some of your drugstore mascaras?

Hope you are all enjoying your summer so far!

XOXO,

Awilda

FOTD: Rihanna's Red Lips

Hi Beauties!

I hope you all had a wonderful Labor Day weekend and best of luck to those returning to school.

Today's FOTD is inspired by Rihanna, who I absolutely adore!
I admire how on any given day she could be wearing knee high boots with a leather jacket and the following day she is super-duper glam on the red carpet. And she looks great either way!

Anyway, here it is! It's very simple but I love what RED lips do to my mood.

Lips:
Givenchy Rouge Cancan Lipstick

Eyes:
MUFE #128 Neutral Eyeshadow
L'Oreal Lineur Intense Liquid Liner in Black
L'Oreal Carbon Black Mascara

Cheeks:
Illamasqua Blusher in Create

Face:
Smashbox Photofinish Primer
Make Up Forever Mat Velvet foundation
Ben Nye Neutral Set
Cinema Secrets Concealer

Hope you like!

XOXO,
Awilda
