Revlon Grow Luscious by Fabulash (Mascara)

Hey Everyone!

  Ok. This post is definately one about makeup products. I'm the kind of girl who doesn't like having the same mascara over and over. So I try different brands/types of mascara every time I need more. I've tried tons. My previous mascara was "Falsies" by Maybelline. I liked it, but I personally didn't get the "false lash-like" look to my lashes. A little dissapointing, believe me, I know.
Sorry~ Florida sunshine makes for a crummy pic :/
   I had been wanting to try Revlon Grow Luscious by Fabulash mascara for sometime. I always kept forgetting, but the last trip I made to Target, I definately remembered. I don't know about you all, but I curl my lashes before mascara application for optimum volumization of my lashes ( <-- lol)  and even though I do that before mascara, my lashes are never as volumized and alluring as I want them to be. When I got home from Target, I went to do my makeup. Yes, I ventured out in public, yes, in public, without makeup. (Yikes!) That rarely ever happens. But I did my makeup as normal and curled my lashes, and then the big moment: Mascara application time! I applied the Grow Luscious to my lashes and looked in the mirror. I was blown away at the remarkable difference one application made to my lashes.
  It's now been several weeks since my initial use of the Grow Lusicious and I am still really satisfied, more than satisfied, with this mascara. I will be purchasing it again. :)
   This mascara connoisseur's hunt for the perfect mascara is stalled for now~ but nowhere from over.

Discontinued Magnolia Blossom :'(

Hey Everyone!
   
Magnolia Blossom
(best ever <3)
         I Just had to tell you all about this~
While doing my once yearly room clean, I came across a Bath and Body Works body spray that was once my favorite. I sprayed it on myself and was quickly reminded why it was my favorite. Magnolia Blossom is the best body spray besides Warm Vanilla Sugar or Butterfly Flower. It has notes of magnolia and other yummy stuff that just smells like AMAZINGNESS!! The sad thing about this awesome body spray is that it was discontinued a while back.

Dear Bath and Body Works corporation: I WANT IT BACK!!

Tweezing Galore!

Hey Everyone!

  This post is for all of you who tweeze your eyebrows. Personally, I am too afraid to get my brows waxed or threaded. Im a tweezing kind of gal. Even though tweezing is to me less painful than other method of taming unruly brow hair, it can still be slightly uncomfortable.
  I've tried many a thing to ease the pain of tweezing. The best method I have found so far is numbing the brows with an icecube wrapped in ONE papertowel. If you wrap the icecube too thick, the icecube will be ineffective.

Ok, Before you begin here's what you will need:

Tweezers (1)
Papertowel (1)
Icecubes (2 or 3)
Rubbing alcohol
Cotton Balls (2)

Step 1 : Wet Cotton ball with Rubbing Alcohol. Apply to Brow. This step is important because when you tweze you are opening pores up. If there is leftover makeup and grime it can get into the pore and clog it causing unslightly blemishes.
Step 2:  Place Icecubes into the one papertowel and hold to brow until numb.
Step 3: Tweeze as normal
Step 4: Repeat steps 1-3 to other brow.

Happy Tweezing!!!!!

Exuviance Blemish Treatment Gel

    Hey Everyone!


Exuviance Blemish Treatment Gel
$20.00 USD
ULTA

   Having a not so good complexion, im always on the hunt for a good spot treatment for my face and other trouble spots. I've tried lots and lots of different spot treatments, Neutrogena Micro Clear, Clean and Clear Persa Gel, Oxy Blemish Gel, Other Cleansers,going to the Dermatologist, etc.  But currently, im trying Exuviance Blemish Treatment Gel. As some of you may or may not know, Exuviance is the company that makes a heavy duty waterproof body foundation called Cover Blend and other various skincare products. So far, im really liking this product. It doesn't make blemishes burn or irritate the skin, which is a plus. One of the bad things is that it is sticky. It takes a few minutes to dry, but it dries sticky.  Ill get back in a few days to tell you all how it works! Suscribe if you have not already! :)

Studio Gear Matte Foundation

$23.00 USD
ULTA
Hey Everyone!!

    Today, I was out and about, not looking for anything special when I remembered that I was tragically out of foundation. I have one of the worst complexions ever, and have a horrible time trying to find a foundation that works miracles and won't break the bank. A CHALLENGE! I went to the mecca of beauty products: ULTA. I had one of the employees help me select a product that I now believe can move mountains. Studio Gear's Matte Foundation. I love this stuff like crazy and i've only worn it once. My shade is Cream. Unfortunately, it's $23.00 USD. The product is slightly expensive. But I will say to it's defense, that it was the cheapest not drugstore brand I could find. I would rate this stuff a 9.5 and will be buying it again.
