Maybelline Mascara Review: #3 of 7: GreatLash Lots of Lashes

Hi, guys! It's Thursday and time for another mascara review. This time, I'll be reviewing Greatlash Lots of Lashes. I bought this at CVS for $5.29. It's not expensive at all and it's a great investment for those just starting to wear makeup.
The tube is pink and square with a black rectangle with GreatLash written in pink and green with Maybelline New York written below that. Then there's a white open heart with Lots of Lashes written in black in it. Then there's Blackest Black, which is the color, written below that. The cap is green and round.
The brush itself is tapered, bigger at the bottom and smaller at the top. The bristles get smaller as they go up to the top. It makes it easier to get those little baby lashes.
Before:
After:
As you can see, my lashes are separated and colored. Parts of my lashes are blonde, so they look shorter. That's why I love mascara. I would recommend this mascara for teenagers who are just starting out. There's no need to buy department store makeup until you get used to wearing makeup and you never know, you might find something that you love.

Ingredients:
Aqua/Water, Paraffin, Potassium Cetyl Phosphate, Cera Alba/Beeswax, Copernicia Cerifera Cera/Carnauba Wax, Acacia Senegal/Acacia Senegal Gum, Glycerin, Cetyl Alcohol, Hydroxyethylcellulose, PEG/PPG-17/18 Dimethicone, Steareth-20, Phenoxyethanol, Caprylyl Glycol, Sodium Polymethacrylate, Sodium Dehydroacetate, Hydrogenated Jojoba Oil, Hydrogenated Palm Oil, Simethicone, Disodium EDTA, Polyquaternium-10, Silica, Panthenol. May Contain: CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499/Iron Oxides, CI 77007/Ultramarines, CI 77891/Titanium Dioxide, Mica, CI 75470/Carmine, CI 77288/Chromium Oxide Greens, CI 77289/Chromium Hydroxide Green, CI 77742/Manganese Violet, CI 77510/Ferric Ferrocyanide.

Maybelline Color Whisper Series: #2 of 6: Coral Ambition

Hey, guys. It's Tuesday which means another review of a Maybelline Color Whisper. This week, I am reviewing Coral Ambition. This is one of my newest purchases and I absolutely love it. I bought this at CVS and it was buy one get one half off, so I bought two of course. Maybelline does test on animals, so be aware of this.
This is what the tube looks like. It's got an orange cap, which lets you know what color it is.
 This being fairly new, it's still got a lot of product. It is compact enough to carry around in your pocket, but it will melt easily in hot weather.
Here it is swatched on my hand. It is orange and very pretty. I've never liked coral colors, but I decided to try this one.
Here it is on my lips. I do like the color on my lips because it's so different than what I'm used to. It's just so good with a smokey eye or a neutral eye. It just goes with everything.

Ingredients:
Diisopropyl Dimer Dilinoleate, Hydrogenated Polyisobutene, Polyglyceryl-2 Diisostearate, Bis-Diglyceryl Polyacyladipate-2, Simmondsia Chinensis Oil / Jojoba Seed Oil, Octyldodecanol, Polyethylene, Ozokerite, Butyrospermum Parkii Butter / Shea Butter, Vp/Hexadecene Copolymer, Disteardimonium Hectorite, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Alumina, Pentaerythrityl Tetra-Di-T-Butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnamate, Calcium Aluminum Borosilicate, Propylene Carbonate, Punica Granatum Seed Oil, BHT, Calcium Sodium Borosilicate, Silica, Linalool, Polyethylene Terephthalate, Benzyl Benzoate, Aluminum Hydroxide, Acrylates Copolymer, Tin Oxide, Benzyl Alcohol, Dimethicone, Parfum / Fragrance.
