Back to School Beauty - Are You Envied?

Be envied as you head back to school! Let them look at your full, thick, too good to be true lashes. Are they falsies? What is she wearing? How does she do it?  This is what you will hear when you use my latest mascara find.

What is it? What is it?

It is Prescriptives new Lash Envy Volumizing Mascara.  And I am being serious here, ladies. I have not been so excited by a new mascara in such a long time.

Lash Envy is the first mascara that uses a special polymer that helps boost lash volume by up to 200%. Somehow, through the miracle of science + makeup, the formula immediately grabs onto your lashes, making them so full of volume - with no clumping in sight.

And the volume lasts throughout the entire day. You see, normal water-based mascaras lose lash volume over time, as the water in the formula slowly evaporates as you wear it. Not with Lash Envy and its special polymer - it sustains the volume. And by keeping the water in, lashes are left soft and smooth - while extremely full of volume. Amazing!

Lash Envy is $19 - a little on the expensive side for a mascara, but so worth it - and it comes in black and brown.

I haven't used anything but black mascara (during the day) for what seems like years. But I tried Lash Envy in brown, and was truly surprised. Pairing it with a new dazzling brown eye liner (Bourjois new Metallic Eye liner, review coming soon) and my hazel eyes are beautiful. And my lashes really have never been so full and lush with this mascara.

At the end of the day (which you would never know it was the end of the day from the way my lashes still looked - really!) Lash Envy simply comes off with my regular facial cleanser. Simple. Easy.

I think I found my "HG" mascara.

Look for Lash Envy at prescriptives.com, at their counters nationwide, and over at gloss.com too (where they have been running Free Shipping with any purchase lately!).

The Cosmetic Company Store.

Have you been to The Cosmetic Company Store?

This store is mainly found in major outlet malls, and is owned by the Estee Lauder corporation. This is the place where some of Estee's brands (Aveda, Bobbi Brown, Clarins, Clinique, Estee Lauder, La Mer, MAC, Origins, Prescriptives) send their over-runs, discontinued, or slightly damaged products. The products are marked down 20% - 80%.

I just came back from a few days in Clinton, CT where they have a wonderful outlet mall, Clinton Crossing, and The Cosmetic Company Store. Ok - I need to let you know that I made more than a few visits to this store.

While the store is not for seeing what is new, it is a great place to stock up on your favorite products that may have been in a damaged box or something similar.

Over my several trips, I picked up the following (for just under $300!):
MAC Studio Fix Foundation in NC 35
MAC Lipglass in Oh Baby!, Pink Lemonade, and C-Thru 
MAC Eye Shadow in Sketch
MAC Tailormade Eyeshadow Palette
Bobbi Brown Best Selling Tube Tints
Bobbi Brown EyeShadow in Bone
Bobbi Brown LipGloss in Pink Beige
Estee Lauder Youth Dew & Pleasures Fragrance Sets - great for a gift giving
Estee Lauder Smoothing Feat
Clinique Sparkle Skin Body Exfoliator
Origins Ginger Pillar Candles
Origins Checks & Balances Foaming Cleanser
Prescriptives PhotoChrome in Warm Beige

If you are within a few hours from one of these stores, take the time to visit.  You will not only find some great beauties - you will save some serious dough!
