Review: YSL Mascara Volume Effect Faux Cils

I feel like I try tons of mascaras a year, and after trying to many, I know that you can get a great mascara at the drugstore, but department store mascaras are almost always a sure bet.

YSL’s New Eye Look

Besides the Touche Eclat, I feel that YSL makeup gets overlooked much too often. In fact, it is some of the best quality and easily available makeup out there, and I am wowed time and time again by the eyeshadows, lip glosses, and the rest of the makeup. YSL has not redone their eye makeup. [...]
