Liquid -Maybelline - Super Stay Makeup

To my surprise, this foundation performed pretty well. The consistency reminds me of Revlon Colorstay. The product claims it lasts 24 hours- I did notice a slight expansion of time before I needed to blot the oil (I'm an oil slick, so this was fairly impressive) and powder down. The finish is semi-matte, which was nice, though I prefer matte. Honestly, my main complaint here is that the shades are too limited for women of color. The closest shade to my skin was Caramel. It's not too off per say, but the yellow undertone is a little overbearing. Luckily the shade matches my neck and chest and I also have a darker powder to better match my skin, so it's not a big problem.

Mascara -NYX - NYX Doll Eye Mascara- Long Lash

NYX definitely hit a winner with this one. I just received my haul of NYX products from Cherry Culture and I've got to say this mascara is the pretty darn decent. Being blessed with fine, long lashes, this product almost has my lashes looking like falsies, no exaggeration. The brush is your average lengthening brush. The formula glides on smoothly with no clumps in sight (And I mean NONE.) I haven't tested how long the products last until it flakes and/or feathers, but so far, I'm loving the results. I recommend this for ladies who have lashes that need a little bit of "oomf," if you know what I mean. Hope this helps.
