What I love : This company first turned to black tea because of its high levels of antioxidants and tannins, known to have antiseptic properties.

The complex found in the Black Tea Collection is effective because it calls upon the best of what the black tea tradition has to offer, acting as an ‘immortal elixir’ for amazing age-delay results.

To preserve its rich heritage and supreme quality, the complex is hand-blended in a European monastery. There is no real fragrance, no chemical additives, no weird stuff you can't pronounce in this cream. It is incredibly long lasting, (I know, the price seems bananas for the size of the jar) it's the consistency of lip balm. You need just a teeny swipe for each eye area, then as you smooth it on, it melts and really refreshes the skin with long lasting moisture.

Drugstore Brand #1:
#1 Revlon Lash Fantasy Total Definition Mascara and Primer:

MAKE UP FOR EVERLash Fibers
: Often fibrous eyelash applications get mistaken as a soul mascara or lash treatment cosmetic, unfortunately that is not the purpose of these products. Fiberous lash cosmetics like Make Up Forever Everlash Fibers are to be used as a primer, and then mascara applied. When used as intended, as a primer/base, this product will double your lashes for a full, fluttering look that I loved. Make Up Forever EverLash Fibers are the perfect way to add length and volume to your lashes even before mascara application, and also lengthens the wear of your mascara while improving its performance. A great base to mascara. Apply to the lashes prior to your mascara.
Shade: White, stays white until you apply mascara
Scent: Didn't notice one
What I love : I apply several layers before I apply my regular mascara. The fibers stick excellently (no shedding) and last all day. Even with daily use, one tube lasts me several months. They look thick, full, longer and all over much better than when I use just mascara.
