On one of my Sunday CVS trips I took advantage of coupons and sale prices to try out 2 beauty items. Maybelline the Rocket Volume' Express and one of the L'Oreal Brazen Bolds Color Riche eye shadows. Since I have been getting more comfortable with colors I picked up an eye shadow quad called 'Neon Skirt'. It has a yellow gold, off white, seafoam green and a pink/purple shade. I don't think I have ever tried a Maybelline mascara I didn't love. The Rocket Volum' Express is no exception. It is not too watery and a little on the dry side which I like in a mascara. It goes on easy with no clumping. I put on 3-4 costs. My lashes were full and wonderful. I have nothing but positive things to say about this mascara. It retails for around $7.99. I was not thrilled with the L'Oreal eye shadow. I was drawn to the color combination because it is so different. The shadows are a little too powdery. They make a mess. The gold and off white is very sheer when you use a brush. I had to use my finger to actually get some color to build up on my eye. The seafoam green and pink are matte shades. They take a few times of applying to build up. I had to reapply when I used my blending brush because a lot of the color brushed right off. I like the idea of these colors in a palette but the quality of these shadows makes it hard to work with. I actually have quite a few of these eyeshadow quads and the colors combinations are really pre try and unique but the shadows are very powdery and hard to build up. ($7.99)
