Sorry for the looooong silence. I am having some serious uploading issues. I have approximately 6 videos I have recorded. I have tried to upload different ones several times to no avail. They start uploading, say they will take approximately FIVE HUNDRED minutes to upload and when they get to about 140 minutes left...they fail. Then my power was out for three days, oh the joy. Once that was back on I began the uphill uploading jaunt again...with the same results. Last night I FINALLY had a successful upload so here are the details about the products featured in said video:

Lacura Beauty Duo Eyeshadow in 101 Latte Macchiato. A beautiful swiss chocolate and vanilla eyeshadow duo. Goes on smoothly, very pigmented and blends easily. Wears beautifully, no creasing, fading or color changing and stayed on until I removed it. I didn't have any reactions as far as eye or skin irritations and the product over all was very impressive. $3.49. You can't beat that! As for how the rest of the eye shadows work in the line, I do not know. Yet...
Lacura Beauty Waterproof Mascara in black. The first time I used it the formulation felt dry and thin. After using it again my first impression changed. The formula was thicker, adhered to the brush and my lashes much better and wore well. No flaking or clumping. My only complaint is that it isn't black enough for my taste. $3.49
These cosmetics and skin care products are actually produced specially for Aldi Grocery Stores-

My Thoughts:
I am very impressed by the range of products they offer, the quality of the eye shadows and somewhat the quality of the mascara and definitely by the value for the prices they charge. I will definitely be trying more of their products in the VERY near future. (maybe even today..) I'll give you a little update if they have any of the products in the store, which ones and if I purchase any I will let you know how they perform. Go ye to Aldi today! ;0)
