mascara envy

Every woman wants those long luxurious lashes. The lashes you see on tv and ads in magazines. You know the lashes I'm talking about. Full,thick,healthy ,and almost fake looking.
Whether it is from the drug store or the most prestigious department store , mascara can be   found for any woman. Every company big or small boasts of their mascara being the best. So, which mascara is  the best?  There are so many amazing and great mascaras it's almost impossible to choose one with out being biased.
Clinique high definition mascara

This mascara is a great mascara for everyday use. Use the brush and then the comb through. It lengthens and defines, great product.

Clinique Lash power mascara

This mascara was originally released in the Asia market and was a number one seller. Clinique then brought it here to the states. This mascara lasts through the toughest humidity and removes with hot water. Gives a nice natural look. 

Lancome Hypnose

This mascara offers big voluminous lashes, with out clumps. It also does this with out feeling heavy. I love this mascara.

Christian Dior Dior show mascara 

This mascara also gives volume and fullness, it has been on top beauty lists for several years. It is no wonder why.

E.L.F 

Elf makes a great mascara, affordable and still wonderful.

maybelline great lash an oldie but goody.

Loreal makes a great mascara, yes I'm adding more Quick word for thought. Loreal Paris owns Lancome.....hint hint.

Cg lash blast volume, some like it, me? Worst mascara i have used. But flipside I know many women that like.

Tips 

Dont pump your mascara it will dry out. For thicker lashes use a primer.

 remember to take your makeup off before bed. I like nuetregena towlettes and cliniques gel 

Cleanser, i love lancome bifacil, or take the day off eyes lipsby Clinique. When your mascara  starts to feel clumpy, get a new tube. Mascara does have a shelf life, 6weeks.

Lipgloss,lipgloss, and more lipgloss

Lipgloss, lipgloss,and more lipgloss.This little tube of perfection can make you feel glamorous and in a second.. It is practical and convenient. A tiny tube of makeup speed. Most women have at least one lipgloss in their purse and some(me) even more. This bit of make up can be subtle or bam in your face and full of color. I love lipgloss so much I had to make another post boasting about it. I Love the stuff and honestly I prefer lipgloss over lipstick anyday of the week.

Elf makes such great products their mineral lipgloss is fabulous and comes in some great shades. Love this stuff And for $3 dollars you can't go wrong.

Elizabeth Arden high shine gloss, another great gloss with some wonderful shades to choose from and not to heavy either. Great stuff here.

Christian Dior Dior Addict gloss another fave of mine, rich colors but not over powering. 

Oh Lancome, I love their color fever gloss except for one thing. It can get tacky feeling. Other than that it is a great gloss. I had it in red!

Chanel this gloss is silky smooth not tacky and has great color. I love my chanel lipgloss! I use it daily. I can not live without it $37 a pop it is my splurge.

Of course I would post mac, duh. Their gloss is full of color and they tons of color choices. What else would you expect? Mac has some great products but their glosses can be a toss up on smooth vs tacky. I know for some people it helps it last longer, for me Iwalk out the door and my hair sticks to my lips. Ew.

Clinique long last glosswear, ahhh this gloss gives a nice tint. Not too strong, it is perfect  for the bit of color or over lipstick. Perfect little tube and it does last pretty well too. 

Well, that is it for now. These are some of the glosses that I like ,which ones do you?

Ruby reds

Oh my goodness, Valentines day is coming around the corner. What better way to get into the mood of things by putting on some ruby red puckers.

I love Lancome's red set. The best red lipstick I have ever owned. It is so rich and creamy but never to heavy. Line your lips with the pencil then apply the lipstick. Be sure to blot and then you can apply the gloss. This trick works for any red lipsticks.If you do not have lipliners use a concealer or foundation on the lips. If the color feels too bright or time is an issue, find a great gloss, I love Lancome color fever glosses for quick colors. 

This Calvin Klein gloss is kissable and flavored.

Clinique buttershine lipstick in Parisian red, love this. 

Lancome color fever gloss in Aaron red, love this gloss. I used this to death. 

Christian Dior Dior addict ultra gloss little red dress. Vibrant color but still so very wearable.loves.

Giorgio Armani rouge d'armani 402, not so bright red but good for richer complections. 

fashion mama, brunch.

 I have.  been thinking about what I am going to get after things settle down. When I can replace some of my clothes. I'm thinking a  cute shirt dresses for some great spring time fun. And they look comfortable, I am serious in saying I will NOT succumb to frumpty dumpty style. I could right now, but I wont. I still get dressed and do my hair(somewhat). I am trying to let my hair breath and not be tortured for a bit by my straightner.  I put together a great look that I can dream about wearing.

So cute and springy

I just wanted to also point out that yes there is girl stuff in the picture, but I wanted to put something there for girls too.

More chic tech.

 

Protecting my tablet and my phones, but I don't feel like I should sacrifice style for function or protection. I think women should be allowed to have a chic case and be ableto protect their prescious tablets and iPads. This can all be done, it would work.  And, I have some favorites.

Ce supply store has some great quality products for reasonable prices. They make really nice leather cases for the iPad and the cases are not bulky or too manly looking. You can get some great cases perfect for any lady. Http://cesupplystore.com

Ce supply store

The next case I want to mention is actually from Coach, yes I'm a fan. Whatever, don't judge me,ha.  It is a great case and very well made, what else would you expect from Coach. Their cell phone case makes a clutch as well as a protective covering.

A bit more pricey, but it is worth it, for extra savings go to your local Coach outlet store.

Accessory geeks, my favorite company for cases, ear buds, protective sheets. This company ships fast and has cases for any walk in life. From otter box to glittery bling cases. This company is great for anyone on a budget.

lipgloss and eyeliners.

Oh I love lipgloss, love it to death. It has been my go to  for any occasion. It is handy for a quick change up and if you are on the go. Perfect  little booster for the day or night.

I think lipgloss and eyeliner is essential for any cosmetic bag in the purse. If you are running late, just grab your eyeliner apply some and put lipgloss on. Bam! That is the perfect little pick up for day and if a night look is needed just add more liner. For some color , keep a colorful shade of liner in your purse cosmetic bag. Just a quick line on the bottom lid for some flair. Of course top with mascara and you are set. Easy right? 

There are many different glosses and liners to choose from, so which to go with Is kind of up to what you are comfortable with. If time is an issue then a pencil or liquid may be neccesary. A gel or cream liner make take time to get on and if you are not comfortable with a brush, it may be a disaster waiting to happen.

Mascara love!

I love mascara, I love the way some mascaras make my lashes look. Long and luxurious or full and dramatic, I love mascara. There are so many out there to get so many mascaras to choose from it's sometimes hard to pick which one and how much you can spend. But as I have learned from using drugstore mascaras and designer, sometimes you need to spend more for hat you want.

I used to do Mary Kay back in the day and used Avon cosmetics. I loved getting that tube of mascara in my stockings( thanks ma) at Christmas and in my Easter basket. The products were good but stopped being good for me as I developed eye allergies to certain mascaras. So, I switched to drug store brands for awhile they worked as well. Great lash was a staple for a long time and I just put up with my itchy eyes.

When I started working for Clinique cosmetics I discovered how awesome it was to have great mascara and no eye funk! I loved Clinique's high impact mascara! It's dramatic and full of that oomph that women love! Another great which they do not make anymore was the lash curling mascara oohhh how I loved it! But alas they no longer have it. I got spoiled working for Clinique and getting to try all that new great stuff! I also got to play with makeup from Lancome, Chanel, Este Lauder, Arden,and MAC. I love volume and length for my lashes but not everyone feels the same. I just feel my eyes pop when my lashes are full! I wish I had Elizabeth Taylor's lashes! Some great volume and full mascaras that I have tried are High Impact by Clinique, hypnose by lancome, and lash blast by covergirl. If you want length and slight volume there is high definition mascara by Clinique it's double sided brush is unique and fun! One side is the bristles the other side is a comb. What you do is use the bristle side first for depth and comb it through for length. Lancome has the oscillating mascara, this mascara is pretty savvy if you think about it. In the wand is a button you press to make the mascara wand vibrate gently. This makes the mascara get on to the lashes evenly but its brush is like lash blast. This mascara is 25 dollars but well worth it! Once you get past the tickling of you eye it leaves luxurious lashes. Use this mascara with a white primer and you have drama! For waterproof or rather water resistant mascara Clinique lash power takes the cake! This mascara was number one in Asia for a reason! It does not come off! In humid climates it stays put and is beautiful. It is 24 hr wear. To take off use hot water!

My friends always have me pick there mascaras either at a dept store or at a drug store. The best advice I can give is when picking a mascara think about what's important for your look. Length, volume, natural, waterproof, dramatic you can be sure to find the right mascara! I would also suggest talking to a beauty professional at a cosmetic counter or your Avon or Mary Kay consultant.
