Review: Lorac Publicity Stunt Mascara

My second review from Sephora's Lash Stash is Lorac's Publicity Stunt Mascara.  This is not one of my favorite mascaras from the kit.  It doesn't particularly lengthen or thicken my lashes, however it did divide them nicely and made them look nice enough for day time.  The smaller version does not have the comb in the picture, however I really don't think the comb is particularly necessary, anyways, thats besides the point, this mascara is simply a "standard" product, nothing too special but nice enough for daily wear.  Look forward to the next review in the Lash Stash series.

Review: Blinc Kiss Me Mascara



Due to my recent stitches, I haven't been allowed to wear any makeup besides mascara, thus I decided to review all of the mascaras in the Sephora lash stash.   My first review is Blinc's Kiss Me mascara in black.  This was the first mascara I pulled out of the Lash Stash box and I was hesitant because of it's tiny tube as well as it's claim to "tube" lashes.  However, I was extremely surprised to find that this mascara not only "tubes" lashes, it also amazingly lengthens and thickens lashes.  Another perk is that this mascara seriously will not flake or even rub off! The only way to remove it is to use warm water and gently brush lashes upwards, some lashes require a little bit of pulling but otherwise its a cinch! This mascara makes my eye look wide and even without any other makeup it makes my entire face light up! This gets 5 out out of 5 from the college beauty addict!  Look forward to the reviews of the other mascaras in Sephora's Lash Stash!

Stitches

Hello Lovely Ladies! Sorry I have been so behind in my posting- I recently had a scar revision done on my nose and have not been feeling 100% and also have been unable to put any type of product on my face (very difficult for a beauty addict like moi!)  I promise I will have eye of the day and other reviews up soon!

The Lash Stash

As I was perusing Sephora's website, I came across this amazing little kit which contains travel sizes of 7 of Sephora's best selling mascaras for only $28! I dont know about you, but I am a mascara addict and I hate when I purchase one only to find that it was not worth the trip to get it, much less what I paid for it! This kit solves that problem! I have, for a long time, been coveting, Blink's Kiss Me mascara, but have been hesitant to try it because of it's "tube formula," however, with this kit, I get a trial size, so I can test it before splurging!  The kit includes:

Blink Kiss Me Mascara
Smash Box Bionic Mascara
Benefit A Little Bit Bad Gal Lash
Lorac Publicity Stunt Mascara
Stila Multi Effect Mascara
Sephora Brand Lash Plumper
Two Faced Lash Injection

I would say that this is definitely worth the trek out to Sephora! Hurry though gals, as this is a limited time offer! Check out the Lash Stash here!

Garnier Fructis Melting Hair Mask

The other night as I was browsing through the new issue of Glamour magazine, I read a blip about this new wonder conditioner from Garnier.  Marketed as a "melting hair mask," this cream claims to repair damaged, over-processed hair from the inside out making hair shinier, healthier and stronger..oh and it smells delicious too! I picked it up today and have yet to try it but I have high hopes! Since I have gone lighter with my highlights, my hair has been dry and frizzy, especially when its so humid outside so I am constantly on the lookout for new deep conditioners.  Hopefully this new mask will do everything it claims and become my new hg of conditioners!

Visit Garnier and have a look for your selves!

Eye of the Day: Brown and Turquoise


Like I mentioned in the last post, it is often times difficult for me to use bright colors because my skin is so fair, however I absolutely adore this turquoise color from MAC so I decided to give it a try with a few browns. I actually really like the way the turquoise compliments the nude shades of brown, I think it just gives it that something special.  Also this looks is so wild that it can't be worn to work! What do you think? (BTW sorry about the crazy eyebrows, im overdue for a wax!)

What to achieve this look? Heres what I used!
Mac Paint Pot in Bare Study all over lid
Mac Eye Shadow in Shroom all over lid
Mac Shadow in Era in crease
Mac shadow in Honesty in crease
Mac shadow in Mulch on outer corners
Smashbox shadow in Champagne on inner corners
Mac shadow in Unreally Blue as a liner
Neutrogena Healthy Volume mascara!
