Covergirl Lashblast Volume Mascara

Why Covergirl Lashblast Volume Mascara is the best-selling mascara in the United States certainly got my attention, and it being sold at drugstore price, well, no doubt I scribbled it onto my shopping list. 
It comes in a bright orange tube. The brush is made of synthetic bristles and is orange when still un-dipped into the tube.
Its accolades aren't misplaced. I think it gives the lashes an extra black hue and lengthens them unabashedly. Of course do not forget the curler pre-application. The smell is not very pleasant though -- it wafts of a chemical scent, which can be overlooked because it dissipates in a few seconds. The best part is I can build the intensity of the mascara by swiping/layering it across the lashes multiple times without it clumping. It still smudges on me after about eight hours, but I've not found a mascara that doesn't. Thumbs up for this orange blast of goodness.

VMV Hypoallergenics Oil-Free Quick & Complete Makeup Remover

After a not-so-pleasant experience with VMV's Gentle & Softening Makeup Removing Oil, it was time to try its alternative, the Oil-Free Quick & Complete Makeup Remover. 
It comes in only one size, 140ml. 
The plastic bottle is simple and looks recyclable. VMV's revamped typeface saves its rather sparsely-designed packaging. 
The opening is quite huge, so be careful when pouring out the contents. 
It's true that it removes face and eye makeup quickly and painlessly. I usually use a cotton pad/ball to apply the product. It leaves the face slightly damp and moisturized; no stinging, burning, or other irritations. 
It's good that VMV prints out its manufacturing and expiration dates.
