Maybelline’s “24-Hour Color Tattoo” eye shadow is undoubtedly the longest lasting eye shadow I have ever used. Granted, I have never worn it the full 24 hours. I presume that if I needed to be wearing eye shadow for 24-hours, Color Tattoo would definitely be my best friend.
Color …

On sunny summer day I applied this sunscreen lotion on both my kids and myself as …

This mascara is nothing special. I have it in “Kohl Black”, and I think that is my favorite part of the mascara. I think that’s pretty sad. Anyways, the color is exrtemely black! Very “pigmented”.
Well this claims to lengthen lashes by 80%, and I think that’s really just a …
