Review+Demo: Revlon Lash Potion Waterproof Mascara

Hey guys Ruby here with a review on Revlon's new mascara Lash Potion. The full name of the product is Revlon Lash Potion Volume + Length Waterproof Mascara by Grow Luscious, phew that's a mouth full.   The first time I tried the mascara I really liked it and decided that I would share my opinions on it. Please keep in mind that these are my personal opinions and experience with this new product. It might not work for everyone but hopefully it does because it's always great to find a good drugstore mascara. This mascara costs 7.99 at CVS. So I hope you enjoyed my review if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask. If I missed some information please let me know! See you in the next video! :))

This picture was taken at 11am. I applied a thick coat on my top lashes. Remember if you want your lashes to look more natural just scrape off some of the product and then apply the mascara gently. I felt like the mascara did a good job lengthening and separating my lashes. My lashes did not uncurl right away like most mascaras do for me.

This picture was taken at 2pm. The curl is still holding and looks pretty good. My eyes did water a bit between the first and second picture and I didn't notice any smudging.

This picture was taken at 6pm. I had done dishes between 2-6pm with hot water and steam was rising to my face. Curl is still holding and it looks the same as when I first applied it.

This last picture was taken at 11pm. I came home and much to my surprise it looked great. The curl held up and was not smudging, despite rubbing my eyes a lot between 6-11pm. It flaked a tiny bit during that time too but not excessively. When I took off my makeup I removed everything but my mascara so that I could splash water and really test out the waterproof formula. It still didn't budge. So this bionic waterproof mascara was amazing and I would definitely recommend this to a friend. You might have to remove it with a oil based makeup remover so that you can gently remove it without being too rough with a makeup remover wipe.

I hope that you guys found this review helpful. If you decide to give this mascara a try I would love to know how it worked out for you. Thank you so much for reading all this and if you watched my review on YouTube. :))

Yvette is planning on doing this video as well so stay tuned for that :) I wanted to do a colorful look just to make it more challenging. You could kind of see a little bit of the covered mirrored behind the camera when I show the CS Palette and I promise you it was covered enough to not see myself I was just too lazy to cover the entire mirror lol.

Hope you guys enjoyed and I hope that you guys didn't mind the length of the video but I cut it down as much as I could without editing out my TV talk so you guys can get to know me a little more since I still don't talk too much on camera but I promise I'm trying to do better.  :))

Quick Tips: For Moms on the Go

Hi guys! Yvette here with a makeup tutorial requested by Xiomara. She's a busy mom who asked for some makeup tips that are quick and affordable. Everything I used is from the drugstore. Also, I used a lot of two-in-one products which saves time. I hope you like it girl. Enjoy!

Full list of products:
Revlon PhotoReady BB Cream
Sigma F84 Angled Kabuki brush
Revlon ColorStay concealer
Revlon Nearly Naked powder
   applied with Sonia Kashuk brush
Revlon ColorStay Torch Shadow Stick
   applied with Real Techniques blending brush
MAC Engraved (Revlon Grow Luscious liner is an exact dupe)
Wet N Wild Mega Plump waterproof mascara
Revlon ColoStay Ultimate Suede in Trendsetter
Wet N Wild Mellow Wine blush

Tip #1: Use two-in-one products
  - products like BB creams and shadow sticks save on a lot of time
  - a BB cream will be your foundation and moisturizer
  - a shadow sticks act as your primer and shadow

Tip #2: Use big brushes
  - apply your foundation not with a paddle but with a big brush, it spreads your makeup faster
  - apply your eyeshadow with a big blending brush it will do all of the work for you instead of going in with a small detailed brush

Tip #3: Eyeliner
  - liquid and gel are super time consuming a soft pencil is quick and easy

Tip #4: Long Wearing Color
  - a bold lip and cheek are the way to go, they add color and make it seem as if you spent a lot of time on your makeup. BEWARE some lipsticks that don't stain will bleed so make sure to get one that is long lasting

STEPS YOU CAN SKIP
- EYELINER on the bottom lash line, it's not really necessary and for day time it can be a bit much. On your top lash line is somewhat of a must if you have small or tired eyes.
- HIGHLIGHT on your cheeks, it looks nice but for the most part its just an extra step that you can do without on those late days.
- BRONZER/CONTOUR, I know many women who can't live without this product but on those days that your running late a blush is always the way to go.
- LIP LINER, although I am a big fan of this product it takes precision to get your lips exact so skip this step if you can.
- GLOSS, this product does not last, and you need to keep checking on it and reapplying throughout the day, just skip it all together.
