Mascara Monday: Estée Lauder Sumptuous Extreme Lash Multiplying Volume Mascara.

Wimpy lashes, stand up and take notice. Do you crave volume but just can't seem to find the right formula? Look no further: Sumptuous Extreme Lash Multiplying Volume Mascara from Estée Lauder is for you.

What makes Sumptuous Extreme Lash Multiplying Volume Mascara extremely volumizing? It’s the combination of the lightweight Extreme Bold Volume Formula™, a special blend of three customized lash building fibers and the exclusive Extreme BrushComber™.

The Extreme BrushComber™ is a big brush in a new shape that gives you all the thickening of a brush with the definition of a comb. The brush holds more mascara, which means it will magnify and multiply lashes by delivering additional product and performance. The triangle cut is easy to use and reaches every corner of your lashes despite its big size.

The Extreme Bold Volume™ Formula is a new mousse-like formula contains a calculated blend of light-weight gels, polymers, waxes and pigments that create lightweight volume without clumping. A new blend of hybrid powders made of different sizes, spherical Silica and plates of Mica, maximizes volume to the extreme.

The Tri-blend Multiplying Fibers act like lash extensions as they fill in even the sparsest of lashes – to instantly magnify and multiply the look of lashes.

The results are amazing. My lashes are longer, thicker and more defined with volume, all while continuing to be flexible -- never brittle.

Which shade are you? This mascara comes in four expressive shades of Extreme Black, Extreme Brown, Extreme Indigo and Extreme Violet. I stick with Black, so Extreme Black is for me.

Sumptuous Extreme Lash Multiplying Volume Mascara retails for $23.50 and is available at Estée Lauder counters nationwide and esteelauder.com.

Fall 2013: NARS Fall Color Collection.

It's time to start talking fall. I know we are just half way through July, but the fall collections are hitting counters now and it's time to start shopping for your new fall faves. The NARS Fall Color collection was the first fall collection across my desk. It is nothing short of stunning.

The collection really plays up the eyes in wearable matte shades. I ususally don't go for matte, but the NARS matte formula is perfect. It is silky and soft, but adheres to the lid with ease as it fills them with beautiful color. The overall look is sultry.

The collection includes:

Eyeshadow Single - $24.00 each

• Kamchatka - Navy Smoke
• Namibia - Grey Moon
• Yamal - Maple Sugar
• Bavaria - Seep Sea Blue

Larger Than Life Long-Wear Eyeliner - $24.00 each

• Via de' Martelli - Chocolate
• Las Ramblas - Yellow Gold

Pure Matte Lipstick - $26.00 each

• La Paz - Orchid
• Peloponnese - Ginger Pink

Velvet Matte Lip Pencil - $25.00

• Mysterious - Crimson Red
• Paimpol - Pink Chiffon

Nail Polish - $19.00

• Galathee - Dove Grey
• Fury - Regal Purple

I am loving the combination of Yamal all over the eye, with Bavaria on my outer lid and crease. I am lining with Via de' Martelli, a beautiful chocolate brown, that looks like a creamy copper on my eye. Forget waiting until fall, this look is gorgeous right now.

Getting Healthy with Nutrisystem.

I have some really exciting news to share with you. I am making a change in my life, for the better. I am taking control of the one thing that is out of control: my weight. I am now part of the Nutrisystem Nation Blogger Program and will be starting the program within the next few weeks. I am so excited!

After a health crisis two years ago, I lost some weight (40 pounds!) in a really short period of time. I was not well and it was not a healthy way to lose weight. What that did do though, was motivate me to be healthier. I now exercise on a pretty regular basis, but my diet is not good. Some of that weight I lost has started to creep back up on me. I was afraid to step on the scale, but I knew things were bad when my shorts from last summer are now too tight. I finally did step on the scale and was horrified to see that I gained 15 pounds over the past nine months. I now need to lose 30 pounds.

Most importantly, I am at an age where my weight can and will start affecting my health. Both high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes are in my family, and I do not want them to affect me. I need to take control of what I can control, and that is my weight. I am starting now, with the help of Nutrisystem.

I am excited and scared. I am making the commitment in front of all of you and want to be successful. I need to be successful this time.

Stick with me and look for my weekly updates. My food will be arriving soon, and I will update once I have completed my first week. Wish me luck. I need it.

I will also be looking for your support and I want to support you too. If you struggle with your weight, please share. Let's get it under control together!
