QBall,
How wonderful that you bought the mascara! I'm certain that your eyes are beautiful! I'm happy you like it, I love it.
As for the new products, (BINGO!!) they have GREAT reputations so go ahead and use them as directed. I love them. I go between them and other lines for skin care. Lancome has one of the biggest labs for coming up with new products that are good for the skin. I recommend them. There are others that are good too but I would not sneezee at Lancome skin products!!
As to the colors you recieved for the eyes,what colors are they?
I can tell you the best way to wear your shadow if you can tell me your eye shape, (oval, round, deep, large, or small?) I have many tricks there that I have learned over the years! How is your upper lid? Sometimes the upper lid will start to sag in our thirties.

The tube mascara is so fun, lol! It is from a company called Blinc and is called Kiss Me. When you apply it, it forms itself into tubes of black that wrap around your eye lashes. When you remove it, you literaly see the tubes slide off your lashes whole! It is really something. I like it so I keep a tube of it.

I'll grab you the URL for it, ok?

Thanks for your feedback. I always wonder if my advise is worth anything to anyone!
