Fallen In Mascara Love

I have discovered the greatest mascara combination to ever grace eyelashes!

I've always had pretty long, eye lashed. The strange thing about them, is that they are two-toned: blonde at the root & dark on the tips.

Though it may sound like it’s pretty cool. It’s actually not. At all.

It’s usually really hard to get a clean coat of mascara from root to tip without smearing the mascara all over my eyelid. Not cute.

I was always taught to play up your biggest asset in the beauty world. Mine just so happens to by my big ol’ eyes; lashed included.

The one thing I have tons of is mascara. Every time I see a new one advertised, I scoop it up.

For some reason beyond me, I never thought to combine two mascara… until now.

After watching a YouTube video or two on a mascara by Prestige called My Blackest Lashes, I went out to my local Rite Aid in search of it.

What I found was a combo pack of two mascaras by Prestige: By Blackest Lashed & My Biggest Lashes.

Seeing that L’Oreal was on sale, I picked up another popular mascara I had heard of on YouTube called L’Oreal Voluminous False Fiber Lashes: Black Lacquer.

I was not disappointed in the least on either of my purchases! In fact, I may have fallen in mascara love.

The combination of Prestige My Biggest Lashes & the L’Oreal mouthful of a mascara made my lashes the thickest and longest they have ever been.

The false fibers in the L’Oreal mascara build your lashes up, coating them, and extending them with black fibers.

My Biggest Lashes over the L’Oreal mascara plumps your lashes up, filling them out.

The combination has left my lashed the most “fake” they have ever looked.

Give them a try & tell me what you think!

Plum Crazy

I have definitely, definitely gone plum crazy! Up until this past year, I was always the girl with the nude lip or the neutral eye. I never really wanted to go outside of my comfort zone because I felt like bright, or dark or any other color but nude wouldn't look good on me. I think this is how a lot of girls feel sometimes.

My advice? Bite the bullet & try it anyway. Bright lipsticks not only make your teeth appear whiter, but they create a perfect frame for your smile. 

If that's not reason enough, I read in the woman's bible (Cosmo Mag, obviously), that when you wear a red lip, men stare at your mouth for 10 full seconds longer than they would without a colored lip. 

If the men still aren't enough of a reason, do it for yourself! Nothing makes a woman feel more glamorous than a colored lip. 

Fall is here, so now's your chance!

One of the most popular fall lip & eye color trend is PLUM. Though I've never given plum a fair chance, I hit up my local Target today and thought it's about time I did.

The first thing I picked up was this lip stick by Sonia Kashuk in Plum Wine #94. While the packaging and sealing took me nearly forever to get into, the lipstick is a beautiful deep plum & even has SPF 15.

Second, I stumbled on this L'Oreal Paris lipstick in 737 Persistant Plum. I originally heard about this color from a beauty guru on YouTube. The entire time they were talking about whatever beauty-related they were talking out, I couldn't stop staring at their mouth! It's safe to say, that this lipstick started it all for me. 

Along with this, I also got a L'Oreal Color Richie lip liner in Truly Burgundy. I decided not to take separate pictures of it because how exciting can a lip liner be?

p.s. Don't mind the smudgy packaging. This was the only one my Target had it stock & I just couldn't pass it up, even it was a little messy. The messy ones need love too ;).

Also thanks to a beauty guru (those girls get me every time), I picked up the L'Oreal Infallible eyeshadow in Smoldering Plum. I only own one other color by this line in a nude (surprise) highlight color. It's gorgeous & lasts for quite awhile, so I'm looking forward to seeing how the color pay off is for this one. 

If you're not sure how to use plum eye shadow, YouTube would love to help.. But you can also use a small bit in your crease to really make your eyes pop in fall!

I even mucked up my hand for you ladies with some color swatches ;)

Top to Bottom: L'Oreal eyeshadow in Smoldering Plum, L'Oreal lip liner in Truly Burgundy, L'Oreal lipstick in Persistant Plum & Sonia Kashuk lipstick in Plum Wine. 

I repeat, give colorful lipsticks a try: especially plums for the fall. 

A colorful lip makes a lady feel beautiful & you all deserve to be beautiful!
