Stop Faking It with L’Oréal Paris Voluminous False Fiber Lashes Mascara.

November 08, 2011/

I am a huge fan of the L’Oréal Paris Voluminous line of mascaras. When I heard about this new one called False Fiber Lashes Mascara ($8.95), I was plenty excited. Especially as I am awful at applying false lashes, but crave the look of them, just about all the time.

The power of False Fiber Lashes comes from two things - the formula and the brush.

The formula is made up of dual-fibers, that utilizes a combination of super-fine nylon and rayon fibers. The ingenious mixture perfectly adheres to natural lashes, all the way from the root to tip, thanks to the special polymers in the formula. Lashes are lengthened and volumized, like you have probably never seen from just a mascara before.

The brush is slender, but full and thick with its slighly curved, cone shape. One coat and lashes are bold. Two coats and they are perfectly bold and bigger than you would expect. Three coats, and you can start to get clumpy lashes, so be careful if you must, but stopping at just two coats is plenty of lash for me. My lashes look big and bold, almost fake, all day, with no smearing, flaking or clumping.

Choose from the regular formula in Black, Blackest Black or Black Brown; or the Waterproof formula in Blackest Black or Black.

Bring on the big, bold lashes ladies - False Fiber Lashes does it and then some. Find this mascara at your favorite drugstore or mass merchandiser and see it for yourself.

LashControl Mascara.

October 07, 2011/

It's been over three years since I heard about this new innovative mascara LashControl, and now that I had a chance to try it, I wanted to make sure I mentioned it again.

Think about your mascara. When you take the wand out of the tube. What is the first thing you have to do? Wipe away clumps, right. It is such a time waster. It is a habit, but annoying. Really, who has the time over and over and over again? I don't, and I love that this LashControl mascara eliminates that pesky task as it is designed to wipe away any clumps as the wand comes out of the tube.

Look at the the LashControl tube and you will see the rubber center of the tube. This is where you can squeeze as you remove the wand. Excess mascara and un-necessary clumps are removed as you pull the wand out of the tube. Forget the tissues, no clumps are here.

LashControl is available in three varieties for all of your eyelash needs.

Pink Squeeze ($20) - Lengthening and Conditioning formula in Natural black
Purple Squeeze ($20) - 2x Black Volumizing Brush with Length and Conditioning formula
Clear Squeeze ($16) - Use as a top coat with all the formulas to create depth without adding color-weight, or use on the brows for the ultimate in grooming

As an added bonus, for every LashControl mascara purchased this month (October 2011), the brand will donate $1 to the Susan G. Komen Cancer Foundation. Purchase online at LashControl.com.

COVERGIRL Lash Perfection Mascara.

September 05, 2011/

COVERGIRL has been hitting it out of the park with their mascara over the last few years. Let's see. There has been Eye Lights, LashBlast, LashBlast Length and NatureLuxe Mousse. Dare I say they have a grand slam with their latest Lash Perfection? Seriously, I was amazed upon first application and I swear I love it more and more each time I use it.

You see, I had just opened one of my favorite high-end brands of mascara. I purchased it, for $30 I might add, and used it just once. What a waste. I thought I loved it, but really, it doesn't compare to how easily my lashes are "larger than life" with Lash Perfection ($5.99).

Let's take a look at why Lash Perfection is my latest go-to mascara.

You see, Lash Perfection was "specially designed to lengthen and lift your lashes for a lightweight, voluminous look - the lash wrap brush perfectly wraps each lash with volume."

The Formula

This conditioning formula, with vitamins, coats the lashes, covering them from root to tip
This lightweight formula provides luxurious volume that helps keep lashes feeling soft and lifted
With a special blend of conditioning agents, the formula provides smooth application

The Brush

The magic is in the bristles of this innovative brush structure! Each bristle contains tiny micro-chambers, or grooves, that instantly surround each lash, hugging and coating them each individually
Bristles are precisely molded to contain micro-chambers that instantly wrap your lashes 360 degrees, allowing more formula to coat every lash

The formula is so flexible, looks almost glossy, but never smears, flakes or clumps. Ever. The bristles lift my lashes for precise, controlled application that had never left me with a smudge or smear, even when in a hurry. One coat and my lashes are nearly perfect and that is all I use on a daily basis. If I am heading out at night or want a more bold look, I might add a second coat on later in the day, but one coat is totally wearable. I need to add that if I do opt for a second coat later on in the day, this coat glides on like a breeze, even with the first coat being set for hours and hours. Miraculous!

I have been using Black Brown for everyday, but can't wait to break out the Black as we move more into fall and Very Black for special occassions. At the low price of just $5.99 a tube, there is no reason to not have a few different shades on hand. Choose from Very Black, Black, Brown Black or Brown.
