Hey guys!
So as you may know, Maybelline NY is the official makeup sponsor for New York Fashion Week and they have released a limited edition mascara collection that will be available in stores only in August in the US. I don’t think these were released to all drugstores, I found mine at Walgreens and I saw them at Rite-Aid. Also I heard they are available at Target, but I have yet to see them in Duane Reade or CVS. Anyway, there are 4 new colours available in the classic Great Lash packaging. I love coloured mascara and the words ‘limited edition’ makes these irresistible to me! I picked up just one of the colours as you guys know that I am not a fan of the original as the brush does nothing to my lashes and the formula is kinda thin for my liking.
So here’s Totally Teal, a really nice colour.

The wand
I used one coat and it actually shows up on my bare lashes, so it has good pigmentation.

one coat. it shows up!
I have used more densely pigmented coloured mascaras, but for a drugstore brand it’s not bad at all! I will be using this to add a little bit of extra sumthin’ sumthin’ to my looks. I will definitely use as the last step after I have used my lengthening and volumizing mascaras, not alone. And just a note, I learned from a makeup artist that it is better to use black mascara as a base for coloured mascaras and white eyelash primers tend to wash out coloured mascaras. Black makes them stand out more!
So overall this is not a bad mascara, I like it, but don’t love it. I think it adds a nice touch but the formula is not robust enough for me. They are available at Walgreens for $5.99 (and I had a $1 off coupon), which is a great price to spend just in case you don’t love it. They’ll add a funky dimension to your look! It’s also available in 3 other colours, Blink of Blue, Pop of Purple and Go Go Green. If you want to try them, act now, they are being retired at the end of August.
Overall Grade: B

A ripped six pack that’s strong as well as alluring.
You dont need a gym for interval training and getting a six pack.
But in fact it is not, it is actually quite possible, and can be done with time
