Mascara Monday: Last minute holiday deal

Anyone who is anyone has been man handled by MOthEr NaTUre this weekend. From the Mid Atlantic to us New Englanders...the snow has been the only subject on the table. Well I got a little cabin fever during the snowfall and went out to get some essentials that I did not need and came across a nifty treat.

Maybeline created a holiday three pack of their fab Stiletto, Colossal, and Define lash Mascaras for $14.99. Please don't mind the impromptu photo that I took with my camera phone - while holding a hot coffee. It was exciting and a great gift for yourself or your like-minded beauty junkie friend!

Mascara Monday: Lancome HYPNÔSE WATERPROOF Custom Volume Mascara

This is what you need to be wearing tonight if you plan on watching It's a Wonderful Life (A Christmas MuSt SeE!).

It's Lancome's Hypnose Waterproof mascara that won't smudge as you cry each time an angel gets its wings.

Mascara Monday: Loreal Telescopic Explosion Mascara

No, Loreal is not leading a conspiracy in weapons of mass destruction. It's more like weapons of mass seduction that their after.

First of all they couldn't have picked a more beautiful woman to model for their ad. I heart Penelope Cruz.

Anyhoo, the Loreal's Telescopic Explosion Mascara is pretty fierce and def explodes your lashes into seductress ranks. What I like most is the small shape that gets those inner lashes with out poking your eye.

 
A great drug store find!!! Woot! The drug store are really carrying some great products these days!

Mascara Monday: Shu Uemura

It's only natural that the company with the most coveted eye lash curler also makes a simply elegant yet flirtatious mascara.

Shu Uemura's Mascara Basic is pretty basic. It does not add three inches to your eyes or claim to thicken them up. What it does, though, is take your natural beauty and curl it up, add just the right coat for a flirtatious day look.

I rarely wear it in the evening because that is when I want the length and thickness. The way it takes the curl to the next level after using their eye lash curler is something else!!!! It's a good idea to keep one in your office desk.

Most department stores carry Shu Uemura and you can always purchase it online here. If you are ever strolling by 130 Newbury Street in Boston, stop into the Shu Uemura and experience the beauty first hand.

Mascara Monday: Fiberwig

The claim was to falsify my lashes into something a bit more scandalous. False eye lashes in their organic state are most likely the only thing that can emulate false eye lashes. Fiberwig claims to create a look of falsies by painting it on. Little fibers adhere to the lashes creating length and volume.

Don't get me wrong. The mascara is amazing! It goes on thick, elongates and does not smudge, but I applied several coats expecting a miracle! And maybe it works well for others, but the claim made me think it had magical powers. It's been around for a long time and I just got around to trying it.

The thing is, there are a few other mascaras in my cosmetic case that are a little closer to reaching the falsies goal much quicker, and they don't make this claim.  I'll keep this one around of course, I really dig the brush and after all, it is wonderful black mascara.

Mascara Monday: Too Faced Lash Injection

Planning on those botox injections for the future is costly and time consuming. Save on the dough and the adDed sTreSs, by injecting some oomph and boosting your lashes instead (at least for now, to tide you over). This is perfect for those with blond or thinning lashes. Fully lashed girls are still welcome, though; Too Faced may talk about you behind your back, but doesn't discriminate!

Too Faced Lash Injection uses a 3D technology that individually plumps and stretches each lash to luscious perfection. It has never smudged on me and lasts the whole day. Pretty much sold everywhere, but I get mine at Sephora and sometimes online at toofaced.com

Mascara Monday: Benefit Badgal Lash

BADgal Lash Mascara is the only weapon you need on a first date. It lays on the mascara thick and with out clumps to form something sexy and similar to false lashes sans the glue. BADgal comes in a violet hue as well that really widens the eyes. One of my Flava Favs and I always have a couple in my cosmetic bag. Available at good ol' Sephora of course.

The pure fact that you can get all your lashes in one swoop is amazing in itself, watch as you eyes transform from office to cocktails in a split second. Not to say that you can't have cocktail eyes at the office....that's totally up to you, if you are a BADgal.

Mascara Monday: Tarte Lights Camera Lashes!

After this weekends fiasco with my impulsive purchase of the best worst mascara ever, I thought maybe I should dedicate one day a week to my second favorite cosmetic. On second thought, mascara ties with lipgloss at #1. Anyhoo lets talk about Tarte.

It's one of my favorites because i like the purple leathery case it comes in.
It lengthens, curls, and conditions as it pumps up the volume to prepare you for some vivacious fluttering. It's made sans petro-chemicals, parabens, or sulfates. 
Paired with an eye lash curler, no one will stray from your gaze 4 sure. It's one of my staples and the one that I usually stash in my purse for evenings out. Visit Tarte Cosmetics for the deets.
