Cat-inspired brand Queen Musia makes a lot of claims about their makeup, but are they true? Does their mascara ACTUALLY lengthen and thicken lashes? Is their lipstick REALLY a comfortable matte formula? Can clean beauty TRULY work? This review attempts to answer those questions, includes a singalong, and offers TOTAL DRAMA!!!
FTC Disclosure: Queen Musia was kind enough to gift me the lipstick and mascara in this review. But there was no obligation to post, I was not paid to create this video, and this review was not screened or approved by the brand.
