Favorite Mascaras

I am ALWAYS on the hunt for the next best mascara. My lashes on their own are nothing impressive. But, with a great mascara, my eyelashes look full, long, curled and make my eyes look amazing. So which ones do I recommend?

1. Maybelline: Great Lash (pink and green tube) This mascara is an oldie but a goody! This mascara is super affordable (about $7 at all major retailers). It has great color payoff, a nifty brush that really coats each and every lash, and clump fee.

2. Tarte: Lights, Camera, Lashes: I mentioned this product in last my haul post and I am in love with this! It lengthens my lashes, curls them, provides a deep black color, and lasts ALL DAY! ($19 @ Sephora)

3. Maybelline: Lash Stiletto: This mascara comes with a great brush that truly grabs and holds  on to your lashes and adds pretty good length. Can be flaky, but a good product for the most part. (About $7 at all major retailers)

4. Covergirl Lash Blast: Love, love, love this mascara! Comes with a huge brush that adds VOLUME AND LENGTH, and intense color. HOWEVER, unfortunately I have found that my contacts do not respond well to this mascara. They get a strange film on them. Weird, I know. But totally worth trying. Seriously. Love this product! ($8-$9 at all major retailers)

Have you tried any of these? What are your favorite mascaras?

Sephora and MAC Haul

Hey guys! So, I’ve had a couple of Sephora gift cards that I’ve been dying to use! So, I headed to Sephora yesterday and picked up some goodies!

Product: OCC Lip Tars (http://www.occmakeup.com/)

Price: $18 each

Purchased Shades: Pretty Boy (pictured on right), Strumpet (pictured on left)

I picked up 2 lip tars. These are basically non-sticky, long wearing, INCREDIBLY pigmented lip products. These things are amazing!! I already own two of these and had to pick up more! A DOT of product goes a LONG way! This is a bit pricey, but it will last you FOREVER! Worth the money!

Product: Sephora Compact Standing Travel Set

Price: $3 (clearance)

This is a foldable mirror that unfolds into a standing mirror equipped with a travel size nail clipper and tweezers. This was so cute, I had to pick it up!

Product: Tarte Lights, Cameras, Lashes!

Price: $19 each

This mascara is amazing! It really lengthens your lashes, coats each and every one of them, and curls! I LOVE this mascara. I tried it about 2 years ago and didn’t repurchase until now because it’s so pricey. But since I had a gift card, I had to pick up another one! AWESOME product!

Product: Sephora Eye Liner Pencil

Price: $3 (clearance)

Shade: #24 chlorophyll

This green eye liner is beautiful for spring and summer! Pop on this liner and a few coats of mascara and you’ve got a simple, yet noticeable and pretty eye look! It’s really soft too and glides on effortlessly.

Product: MAC Lustre Drops

Price: $21

Shade: Pink Rebel

This product is a luminizer that can be used mixed in your foundation or directly on the top of your cheeks for an extra glow and soft halo effect. One or two drops is all you need. Apply to the top of your cheeks, cupid’s bow (the dip on your upper lip), the bridge of your nose and the arch of your eyebrows for a beautiful glow! A little goes a LONG WAY!
