Is Essence Mascara ($3.49) From Ulta Any Good?

So, I have this affliction:

I love makeup but I hate spending money on it.

Many a time have I shelled out pocket change hoping to find the holy grail:

inexpensive yet fabulous makeup.

Many a time have I been sorely disappointed.

But, sometimes, just when I'm ready to give up my treasure hunting days,

I'll find a wonderful product that works like a million bucks,

without the status price tag.

Few & far between, yes...

but it's just enough to keep me hooked!

So, one of my latest acquisitions is

Essence Multi Action False Lashes Mascara

which I bought at Ulta for only $3.49.

Rafflecopter Launch Party Giveaway: Win an iPad & a Kindle Fire

I've recently started using Rafflecopter for my blog's giveaways and I really like it. It simplifies things for me and hopefully it makes things easier for you, the one entering the giveaway. Rafflecopter let me know about a great giveaway they're having. Read on (from their website):

"Happy New Year from Rafflecopter HQ! To start 2012, you’ll have a chance at winning an iPad2 or one of two Kindle Fires in what we’re calling the ‘Rafflecopter Launch Party Giveaway’!

To celebrate the new year, we’re going to give away a 16GB Apple iPad2 and several Kindle Fires. The giveaway starts Monday 1/9 at 12:01 a.m. and lasts for a month. To enter, simply tell us who referred you to this giveaway! (Because If I refer the winner, hopefully that's YOU, I win a Kindle Fire for myself!) You can receive additional entries by tweeting about this giveaway, following us on twitter, and giving us feedback. In addition, we’re doing something a little special to make things more fun:

Suggest a Mascot Name – You’ve seen the Rafflecopter smiley-face dude hanging around the web. (from me: You can see him below at the very bottom of the Rafflecopter box...in the gray box, looks like a small smiley helicopter.) The poor guy needs a name, and we want to leave it up to you to decide what his (or her?) name should be. For an additional entry, suggest a name! After the giveaway is over, we’ll go through the list of names and pick out our favorite suggestions (be creative!) and bring it to a vote on Facebook. If your name is chosen, you’ll win a Kindle Fire and be immortalized in Rafflecopter history :)

This giveaway is open for the US and Canadian residents and will close February 9th at 12:01 a.m. EST."
 I'd love for you to follow me via GFC (right hand sidebar), but it isn't required.

So, in the Rafflecopter form below, where it asks who referred you, please put "Jean Lynd of The Real Mom Review". You can even copy & paste my name into it to keep things easy. Thanks & good luck to us all!

Longwearing Eyeliner? Essence Gel Eyeliner Review

I am currently trending toward heavy eyeliner.

I love the cat-eye look, reminiscent of the 60's and of one of my fave celebs: Audrey Hepburn.

After figuring out how to apply the eyeliner to achieve this look (thank you youtube! see below), I realized my eyeliner didn't stay put throughout the day. Somehow, it had enough energy to migrate to the crease and top of my eye. I tried a little powder on top, which helped some, but not enough; however, I didn't like the lighter color that method produced anyway.

So, I figured I better get me some long wearing/waterproof eyeliner. Here's a great video tutorial on cat eyeliner:
