Mascara Monday: MAKE UP FOR EVER Smoky Extravagant Mascara.

Smoky Extravagant is the new mascara by MAKE UP FOR EVER, for eyes that speak drama on their own.

Whether you are looking for a natural look or a more sophisticated one, one thing is for sure; we all want the same thing in the end. That is the perfect mascara that gives the ultimate finishing touch to your look in just a few coats, of course.

Smoky Extravagant is just that, a new mascara for both bold impact and on point precision. The tapered cone-shaped brush features a precision tip that separates lashes. The rounded base helps to creates extra volume, while adding length and curl, direct from root to tip. My Smoky Extravagant lash look lasts all day with no clumping or flaking. I use two coats to get the look I want.

Smoky Extravagent Mascara comes in the perfect black shade and sells for $24.00. Look for it at Sephora now.

Mascara Monday: MAC In Extreme Dimension 3D Black Lash.

I am addicted to thick, black lush lashes. This new mascara from MAC just does that to mine. Meet MAC In Extreme Dimension 3D Black Lash.

In Extreme Dimension 3D Black Lash features a whipped and very lightweight formula that delivers intense, blacker-than-black pigment. The over sized rubber tipped brush is designed to apply the rich pigments on lashes from root to tip. It adds volume, extends length and even creates and holds a curl. It does all this while it conditions for softness and flexibility.

I like the contoured handle of the wand and it helps to control the brush easier. The brush is the longest I have ever seen on a mascara. It really makes lashes super dark and thick. When wearing all day, I never experienced smudging, clumping or flaking.

MAC In Extreme Dimension 3D Black Lash is available right now at all MAC locations including Nordstrom and online at maccosmetics.com. It retails for $21.00.

Mascara Monday: Maybelline Great Lash Mascara Limited Edition Collection.

Maybelline New York is putting a stylish twist on its classic Great Lash Mascara. For the month of August, they have added six limited edition shades. As we saw at New York Fashion Week, the fall season is going to include a lot of jewel tones and a lot of beautiful makeup. These limited edition mascara shades will complement that, as they are the hottest jewel toned shades themselves.

The six shades:

• Green with Envy
• I See Blue
• So Very Berry
• Teal Appeal
• Vision in Violet (not pictured)
• Wink in Pink

Great Lash Mascara conditions, as it thickens for thick, lush lashes. Use the new shades on their own, on top of your favorite black mascara, or be subtle and just paint the tips a fun colorful shade.

Maybelline New York Great Lash Limited Edition Collection is available now for a suggested retail price of $6.40. It is being carried at select retailers, through the end of August only. If you find them in a store, let me know. I hit up about a dozen drugstores and all of the mass retailers in my area, but did not see the collection once.
