New Mascara of the Month!

So, I have decided to start writing about a mascara of the month because mascara is definitely my favorite beauty product so I really love trying new mascaras out! I have written so many blogs and reviews on mascaras I don't even want to go back and look through my blogs and see how many times I've reviewed them. I have a few that I have loved, L'Oreal Voluminous but it's one of those that when you first open it the mascara is really thick and gooey and it's kinda hard to apply but once you get a little air in the tube it thickens up the mixture and helps it not go on as clumpy. That's kinda the same with the Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes and the Too Faced Lash Injection so that's just a little warning. Once there is a little air that gets in the tube it applies much better!! This mascara that I just tried was amazing from the get-go! Right when you open it the application is so amazing from the first try! I was really amazed at the length that the mascara adds as well! It doesn't smudge, doesn't flake all over the place, doens't make your eyes itch, it looks good all day long as well! I am so obsessed with this mascara and for $6 you can't beat it! Everything that I want in a mascara (length, definition, no clumps, volume, curl) is in this tube of mascara. Love it, love it, love it!

Brows!

Ok. It has been a long time since I have written but I'm back and ready to blog! I went on my honeymoon finally, 9 months delayed but so worth the wait!! I packed all my makeup from my last blog that I wrote about, the 5 minute makeup, I used all that makeup because all those light, cream-based pieces are the best to use in the hot, beachy weather. The Nars Multiples I used for my cheeks, lips and eyes stayed on amazingly and didn't weigh me down in that hot, humid weather. If you ever have to fly or you're going somewhere where you don't want to have to bring a ton of makeup then that 5 minute makeup blog is a guide for you. You will still have a full makeup look but it's just a few pieces. The one makeup piece I forgot was my brow pencil!!! How could I do that??? Brows are huge for me and I forgot a brow pencil! I ran out to the nearest Walgreens and grabbed a brow pencil from Maybeline. This is Maybeline Expert Eyes Brow pencil. You get 2 in each pack the only problem is the color is awful!!! The pencil is so hard you can barely even draw this on and it just looks really fake. I purchased the brunette one and it looked red almost. So, let's no
t waste our money on that one ok?

Now I'm back to my beloved Vanity Mark Dark Chocolate Brow Powder. I really like powders more. They are so much easier to apply and they last a very long time. These are about $18 but I have had mine for at least a year, if not longer.

Here is a good cheap find for you! Everyone loves the Maybeline Great Lash Mascara, that hot pink and green tube. I had to try it because it really is a huge favorite among a lot of different magazines and I just don't get it. I might need to try it again but I just really didn't like it. But-I did notice that the Maybeline Great Lash has a clear mascara that they just came out with and I LOVE it!! I don't use it for my lashes though. I use it as a brow gel to keep my little caterpillars in place. I wax and shape brows for a living so I know those suckers don't grow exactly how you need them to. Some people's brows grow down in certain sections, sideways, straight up, they grow all over the place and you usually do not need to wax off that area because it will completely mess up the great, full brow arch that you have so I always suggest buying a brow gel. I hate having to sell a gel that they are only going to use on their brows because it usually runs about $14-$16 dollars but this one doesn't! It was about $5 and I can deal with that! I will pencil in my brows with my Vanity Mark brow powder then I will use the Maybeline Great Lash Clear Mascara and just brush it right over my brows in the shape and arch that I want. This will keep all the brows tame and almost act like a little brow hairspray for you. It's amazing!
