My favorite mascara for the last year or so, has been Covergirl’s Lash Blast.  It’s going to take a pretty amazing mascara to make me switch. I really liked this new mascara from CARGO, but I don’t know if it’s going to win me over.  One thing I really like about this CARGO mascara, was how it made my eyelashes look.  Each eyelash stands out on it’s own, not clumped together with it’s neighbor.  I really liked this a lot – and look forward to seeing what my eyelashes look like after 30 days!

LashActivator by CARGO is a unique primer and/or mascara that is proven to boost the appearance of lashes in just 30 days!

CARGO LashActivator™ contains a nourishing blend of ingredients that has been proven to visibly increase the appearance of lashes’ length and fullness. The formula is made with a unique, multi-faceted complex, which contains Marine Algae extracts to increase the appearance of lash density, citrus-derived Flavonoids to promote microcirculation for optimal lash health, and a Peptide-biotin complex to slow the rate of lash loss. It’s gentle on sensitive eyes and the flexible rubber wand was specifically designed to build and separate each lash for a full, fan-like effect. Finally, a safe and effective way to achieve those gorgeous lashes you’ve always dreamed of!

This time of year I’ve had such an issue with my allergies one of my major problems has been itchy, watery eyes.  I am so glad to have found something that soothes my eyes and doesn’t further irritate my allergies. Votre Vu’s Tout Le Monde is an amazing blue gel as soon as I apply it there is a cooling sensation. 

My favorite way to use it is as an eye masque I just put a generous dab on the skin jump in the bath and after about 15-20 minutes remove the excess gel and my eyes feel renewed again!

Max Factor 2000 Calorie Extreme Lash Plumper!

I love this mascara. These days, I can’t afford to spend $30 on mascara, so to find a comparable mascara for $10 or less is huge!! I tried this, and I really, really loved it! New Max Factor 2000 Calorie Extreme Lash Plumper creates lashes that look thicker, longer and sexier – instantly versus bare lashes.

Couple things I love about this mascara. First, I love the brush. The brush is so great, you get literally NO CLUMPS when you’re applying it. Second, it goes on smoothly! With other mascaras, it takes several applications to get the look you’re after, but not with this product. You get the perfect look, after only a single application! Third, I love that you can buy this mascara for a fraction of what you would spend on other comparable “high end” mascaras. You’re saving at least half the money, and getting better mascara!

o MAX Factor is bringing the trend of prestige lash plumping to mass
o Increases thickness up to 2x versus bare lashes
o The patented Fat Wrap Brush is designed to grab every single lash, even the little ones
o The patented Fat Wrap formula works with the Fat Wrap Brush as it wraps around each and every lash for an extreme, voluptuous effect.
o 2000 Calorie Extreme Lash Plumper’s suggested retail price is $9.98 available at drugstore.com and Ulta.com.

Max Factor Vivid Impact Lipcolor!

Max Factor Vivid Impact Lipcolor!

New Max Factor Vivid Impact Lipcolor joins the bold Vivid Impact family as a standout lipcolor that tempts you to stray away from the predictable shade palette. The ultra rich, pure pigment lipcolor offers head turning looks from classic to bold, but always vivid!

This lipstick is so fun!! I love the colors, and I love how it looks when it’s on my lips! It goes on smooth, and feels amazing (like chapstick!) and the color looks gorgeous!

o Ultra rich, pure color lipcolor that is not grayed-out or watered-down
o Preferred 2-1 over the number one prestige lip color for the most premium quality look
o P&G Global Creative Design Director Pat McGrath custom designed the fashion-forward shade palette
o The rich shea butter formula acts like a lip balm to help seal moisture into the lips and the luscious conditioners increase wearability to help keep true color intact
o The suggested retail price of Vivid Impact Lipcolor is $7.98 available at drugstore.com and Ulta.com.
