Review: Maybelline Lots of Lashes and Baby Lips

I'm a BzzAgent..

Never heard of it?? click here to learn more :)

I've actually been one for a while (since 2009) but never really took it seriously.  Then one day I get an email asking if I wanted to join the Maybelline campaign and thought "why not?"

So I was sent the Maybelline Lots of Lashes and Baby lips to tryout.

*I was really shocked to find that they sent me 5 of each product haha..*

Lots Of Lashes

*I wrote about my mascara dilemma before and how I wanted to find a new mascara before my Dior one dries out so I don't spend a lot of money to buy another one :)

So, first of all, whenever I see this pink and green mascara I think about mascaras from my mom's era haha... I don't know how to explain it but I just do.  I don't really have a nice memory about these mascaras and every time I would see it ranked as the number 1 mascara I would just laugh because today there are so many new mascaras around that there is no way that this could still be number one.

Anyways, the thing that got me when I first looked at it was the brush.  It was just like the CoverGirl lashblast one where it's that plastic material and not like and actual brush brush (I suck at explaining things).  They obviously changed it from the older brush and I actually prefer mascaras with this type of brush.  I also liked that it was tapered because that means that it can get to the tiny hairs in the inner corner of your lashes all the way to the longer ones at outer corner.  This brush also makes it amazing for layering on several coats without it getting clumpy. 

The final verdict: :)

I really like this mascara.  I'm shocked that I do.  I never expected to like it so much and I honestly believe that it's all because of the wand.  The formula is good too because it doesn't get clumpy.  I usually like to layer on a good three layers and for me it seems like them more coats the more separated my lashes become, which is weird.  I also really like that when I put it on my lashes are crisp but still nice and soft.  

The only down side is that it's not waterproof.  That's the thing that I absolutely love about my Dior mascara.  That one is waterproof, smudgeproof and foolproof :).  This one is still great but I'm hoping that they will come out with a waterproof version (or maybe they already have one out and I just got sent the non waterproof version... I'm gonna have to go check my local drugstores to see)

BABY Lips

I already have my favorite lip balm, it's the Neutrogena one that I'm sure I blogged about before.  But I got sent these ones and I was actually running a little low on my Neutrogena one so I was excited to try them out.  I have big lips and I get pretty picky about the lip balm cause my lips get pretty sensitive.  I opened the purple one first and tried it out.  This one has a little bit of a shimmer to it and I didn't really care for it.  It didn't moisturize my lips enough.  But then I tried the orange one and I really liked that one.  I don't know if I like the tint that it adds to your lips because sometimes I just want a lip balm for my lips without adding color to it, and sometimes I use it as a primer under my lipstick so a tinted one my alter the color of my lipstick.  No big deal tho because they have the clear ones available as well, I just didn't want to open every single one.  And lastly, I just think the packaging is cute, fun and colorful.  :)

So both of the products overall were really nice.  I carry my Lots of Lashes in my everyday makeup bag so I leave my Dior one at home.  The Lots of Lashes is around $7 depending on where you bug it which is almost 4x cheaper than my Dior one.  I'll probably end up buying this mascara again.. especially if I see a waterproof version.

The lip balm was really nice as well, I'm gonna use the tinted one up before I try the clear one so hopefully the clear one is as good as the tinted one.  I'm not too sure one the price range of the baby lips tho but my Neutrogena one I think is pricey for a lip balm so this one is probably cheaper.

Anyways, like I mentioned at the beginning of the post, they send me 5 of each product to try out.  I gave out a couple to a few of my friends but I have one Baby Lips and Lots of Lashes for one of my subscribers if you'd like to try it out.  As a BzzAgent, it's all about getting the word out there on the products they send you.  So if you'd like to try this out you'd have to promise me to write a review and either post it to your blog or email to me :)

So if you're interested, write in the comments "I promise to write a review for these products :)" and why you'd like to try it out.

Now, I'm going on a trip for two weeks though, so I won't be able to check this.  The day I get back (Nov. 27) I'll check to see if anyone wants to, and if there's more than one person then i'll pick someone randomly and ask for your address so I can mail it to you :)
