Look At Me Lashes!

Flash lashes are all the rage at the moment. Make Up For Ever has a range of fifty plus lashes for you to choose from. Whether you want a natural, dramatic or colorful and sparkly look, they have what you need. This line of flash lashes is only available at Sephora and every single time I have gone in to take a look at them they have been pretty low in stock because of their extreme popularity. The only advice that I have is to make sure that you have applied them properly so that you do not run the risk of having them fall out and also choose your lashes wisely.

If you are not the Make Up For Ever type of girl, try MAC’s line of flash lashes. They are just as fabulous.

Be Bold with Pink Lips!

On Monday as I was on my way home from a long day at work, I decided that I deserved a treat and encouraged myself to be bold. I walked into MAC and asked the guy at the counter, that I love by the way, he is fantastic and always such a huge help, to suggest a pink lipstick for me. I don’t usually wear lipstick, I am a total lip gloss girl, but I recently have been getting into it. Being the great help that my MAC man is he showed me a fabulous fuchsia lipstick called Girl About Town, which I love love love! He also pointed out some other shades that were great, which I have listed below. I have not rocked Girl About Town yet, but I think I will be adventurous and its great début will take place this weekend. So, if you are looking for a fuchsia or pink lipstick be sure to check out MAC’s site or go in and request to see some of the colours I have listed or ask them to suggest one for you, after all pink is in…


Here are my suggested shades……

Lipstick
Pink Nouveau – Bright Pink
Impassioned – Amplified Fuchsia
Girl About Town – Fabulous Fuchsia

Lip Glass
Pink Poodle – Bright Pink with frosted gold shimmer

Plush Glass
Plus Luxe – Fluorescent Pink

Smashbox Photo Op Under Eye Brightener

A few weeks ago, I was talking to two of my best girlies and I mentioned that I was looking for an under eye brightener. One of the lovely ladies suggested a product that I can not get enough of! She told me that she had been using Smashbox Photo Op Under Eye Brightening Cream and that it worked wonders. Ladies, let me tell you…it is FABULOUS! I love it! I use it when I have not gotten enough sleep and my under eye area needs a pick me up. It works so well. It gets rid of my dark circles and leaves me looking luminous and fresh. It is also great for nights out when you know that pictures will be taken and you need to look your best! This product is so fantastic and I know that it will be a staple in my make up bag for years to come…

Professional Platnium Natural Fan Brush

This brush is super handy and can be purchased at Sephora!! This is an item most people do not own, nor know the use of. For the longest time I was confused as to what this brush was good for. I have now learned its use and I am ready to share my knowledge with you ladies. This brush is considered to be a "mover" of make up rather than a brush used to blend or spread make up. It literally "fans" away excess make up without smudging. Use it for clean up or for removing eye make up fallout. Ladies, it is essential and needs to be added to your brush collection ASAP!

Too Faced - Mood Swing Emotionally Activated Lip Gloss

I have never heard of this before, but so far I like it! Too Faced has released a limited edition emotionally activated lip gloss. This lip gloss is infused with Jojoba Oil, Vitamin E and Shea Butter. It works with body heat levels and changes to different shades of "Smurf - Berry Pink". This reminds me of the mood rings that I used to wear in elementary school that changed colour. I loved those things!! So far, this is a great replacement!

Be sure to also try the other products that Too Faced has in their limited edition Smurf collection!

Hello Kitty and MAC Cosmetics

MAC Cosmetics is teaming up with Hello Kitty to bring all of us make - up lovers a limited edition line this February. I can't wait!!! I love Hello Kitty! It is so cute and playful and now that they are teaming up with MAC...the kid in me could not be happier!

I have such a love/hate relationship with MAC and their limited edition lines. Sometimes they have such amazing colours and I hate not being able to have them available to me all the time. If there is something that you love that was a part of one of their limited edition lines, always try their website, sometimes you can get really lucky!!

Just a heads up...their Brunette, Blonde and Redhead Collection is quickly selling out! Hurry if you want to get your hands on any of the great products within that collection!!

OBAMA!

I hope for a brighter future for America and the rest of the world!

Talika Eyelash Lipocils

Do you condition your hair everyday? If your answer is yes, than why not condition your lashes? Think about it, every single day we apply and remove mascara sometimes in a very harsh manner. Why not do something nice for your lashes? A few months ago I started searching for a product that would condition and enrich my lashes, and that is how I found Talika Eyelash Lipocils. This product is G R E A T! After a about three weeks of regular use I began to see a difference. My lashes were fuller and thicker. I was sold, and I think you will be as well when you try it.

For the first month or so, use it twice daily on clean lashes. Once in the morning and once in the evening. Make sure that the gel touches the skin at the roots of your lashes. Wait for about a minute and then you can apply mascara. This can double as a primer for your mascara. After the first month, you can begin to use it once a day. I love love love this product!!

Let me know how you like it ladies! I would love to hear from you!

ÔSCILLATION – Lancôme’s very first vibrating power mascara!

From the moment I read about this in the January issue of Elle Canada, I knew I had to try it. My first thought was where can I buy this and how quickly can I add it to my outrageously large collection of make – up. I totally have a problem, but its okay, you ladies reading this must be in the same boat….right?! Anyway, I made a quick phone call to Sephora and asked them to set one aside for me…yes, I am crazy, I put make – up on hold, don’t act like it’s such a bizarre thing to do. I have tried other Lancôme mascaras, which I will talk about in a little bit, and I have never been disappointed and in this case I certainly was not. Ôscillation claims that it provides 7000 oscillations per minute as well as superior length. Let me tell you ladies, Lancôme does not lie. I don’t think I have ever seen my lashes so long. They were so long that my mother asked me if I was wearing flash lashes. That to me means that Ôscillation has completed its job successfully. Not only did it lengthen my lashes, but it also separated them very well. So for you ladies that love length, I would highly recommend this mascara. It will set you back about $40, but it is well worth the price.

Now for you ladies that do not want to spend that much or if you could care less about whether or not your mascara wand vibrates you can try other Lancôme mascaras and I guarantee that you will not be disappointed.


DÉFINICILS - High Definition Mascara is Lancôme’s best selling mascara. It does what it claims which is that it will provide great definition as well great shape and separation.

For you volume loving ladies, I suggest you try HYPNÔSE - Custom Volume Mascara. This mascara provides immense amounts of volume and provides very dramatic lashes. As a bonus, the formula is also enriched with Vitamin B5. Now that is fabulous! Love it!

What do Coach and Rock and Republic have in common?

Alright Coach lovers, I know this will excite you. Here is another thing you can obsess over…Coach Lip Gloss and Lip Stick! Their colours include beautiful shades like Cranberry, Cinnamon, Pink Grapefruit, Sienna, Spice and Toffee for you lip stick loving ladies and Gardenia, Hibiscus, Heather, Freesia, Peony and Orchid for those of you who prefer lip gloss. Unfortunately, the website states that they will not ship their newly released beauty products to Canada, but I am sure that they will soon release it and you beauties can get extra gorgeous with these new Coach products.

On to Rock and Republic, this was a bit of a shock for me…I never would have expected the premium denim line to come out with a line of make-up. But, of course, I am not complaining!! Their line includes lip gloss, blush, eye shadow, mascara just to mention a few as well as multiple brushes for all of your beauty needs.
