I Bought This/Affiliate Links My favorite L’Oreal mascara was Voluminous Butterfly Intenza (reviewed here). It had a flared wand, and it gave me that winged look. I loved it.

I Bought This Maybelline‘s newest mascara campaign is all about The Colossal Curl Bounce Mascara. There are several variations of it and I bought the original. The ads are pretty amazing.
