A New Favorite Mascara: Lancome High Definicils.

When it comes to mascara, I will be the first to admit that I am picky. I love trying new mascaras, but seem to always go back to my all-time favorite and must-have mascaras: Tarte's Lights, Camera, Lashes!; MAC's Plush Lash; L'Oreal's Voluminous; and Prescriptives Here to Stay. I am adding another one to my favorite and must-have list. This is Lancome's new High Definicils.

 

With a soft, rubberized brush that feels almost flimsy, the application of Lancome High Definicils Mascara could not be any smoother. The brush bends slightly as it moves up through my lashes making them ultra long and defined. Beautiful!

“The best way to apply this mascara is to lift the lashes right at the base of the lash line using the brush, and comb through,” advises National Artistic Director Ross Burton. “This allows for the brush to better grip the lashes for a more fanned look.”

High Definicils comes in two shades, black and brown. It is available now for $23 (just launched) at your favorite Lancome counter, one of the Lancome Boutiques and at lancome-usa.com of course, as well.
 

The Sephora Supermodel Kit.

Has Sephora gone and lost their mind? When I saw this beauty I thought wait. I see Smashbox. I see Stila. Why does the page say Sephora? Could it be a misprint?

Then I understood. Sephora put together the ultimate Supermodel Kit with some of the products needed to help make you look like a Supermodel. Well, not quite, but that is what I thought. These products were the actual products that the Sephora makeup artists used for Fashion Week Live. They put them all in a great glittery cosmetic bag too.
 
Wondering what is inside? Only the best, with a value of $145, for just $79, this Supermodel Kit is a must! The kit includes a Stila Lip Glaze in Brown Sugar, Make Up For Ever Diamond Shadow in Diamond Black 307, Smashbox Mini Travel Photo Finish Foundation Primer in Original, Smashbox O-GLOW, Dior Diorshow Mascara in Black 090, and a Sephora Blush Me! Mono in Abricot Plaisir 6.

Perfection!

Mascara Monday - Lancome Courbe Virtuose.

Sorry about last week. Mascara Monday completely slipped my mind. I think it was more the case of Monday slipping my mind. Where do the weeks go?

Today I want to talk about the ultimate curling mascara, Lancome Courbe Virtuose. Courbe Virtuose is their Divine Lasting Curves Mascara.

The ultimate curling mascara because simply put, there is no need to pre-curl your lashes with an eyelash curler when using Courbe Virtuose. At least for me anyway.

Courbe Virtuose is formulated with CurlGuard™. This is a unique formula that no only lengthens and helps to curl lashes, but it holds your lash curve for an unprecented 12 hours.

The brush has a slight curve to it, which they call it's KeepCurl™ brush. The bristles are close together and tight around the curve, helping to curl lashes as you apply. This is why I don't have the need to use my eyelash curler prior to using.
 

 

And as with all of Lancome's mascaras, there is no clumping, flaking, or smudging. Just beautiful rich color, with the ultimate curl hold.

My only gripe I have with this mascara, and it is a small one, is with the handle design. The tube is glossy and the handle has a strange curve to it. When I first tried the mascara, my hand slipped down the handle a few times. I have learned to use it, and the handle is no longer a bother to me. But it did take a few tries to get used to it. I just hold it tighter and I am used to the curve.

Courbe Virtuose comes in your basic brown and black , and sells for $23 at your local Lancome counter or lancome.com.
