BGP: Maybelline's Lots of Lashes and Baby Lips Balm



 

I've been needing some new mascara, so I decided to try Maybelline's Lots of Lashes.  I've heard amazing things about it and I like their Great Lash line, with Lots of Lashes (LOL, heh) being the latest addition.  With it's unique heart-shaped wand, it's supposed to help you get all those little lashes that normally get missed, while the formula lengthenss and adds volume.  The brush takes a little bit of getting used to it as I stabbed myself in the eyes several times trying to use the tip to get those pesky inner eye lashes.  I also got some major clumping, although I'm not sure if it's the formula or my inability to use the wand correctly.  I think the only reason I would keep it around it to use just the little end on my outer lashes, I  just can't fathom using as my everyday mascara.

I bought both the Lots of Lashes mascara and the Baby Lips lip balm together in a set for $5 at Walmart.  Two birds, one stone.  There are a couple of different Baby Lips flavors you can choose from but I chose the blue tube, which is clear with 20 SPF.  It has a nice sheen, a weird floral/candy scent (it isn't too bad), and a strange taste which is probably the sunscreen.  This balm seemed to make lip drier than before I put it on.  It also hardly lasted 10 minutes before my lips felt dry again and I needed to put more on.  For the same amount the Baby Lips is, $2.99, you can get much better lip balms.  This stuff just really sucks.
