I think I’ve already established that I love makeup. I love trying new products, buying new products, oohing and aahing over the pretty little packages… just about anything to do with makeup. And when I find a product I love, I stay loyal to it. I just hate when it gets discontinued! My absolute favorite powder has been discontinued. I used to be able to find it online but now I can’t. My favorite lipstick is no longer easy to find. It’s so frustrating!!!

Right now, I have two mascaras that I absolutely adore. One is a great every day mascara and the other is so amazing but expensive that I save it for special occasions or those days when I just need a boost and pretty eyelashes are just the ticket.

CoverGirl Lash Blast

What an awesome mascara! I love it. I love the fat orange container and the big brush. The brush lets you get every little lash and it doesn’t smudge. It washes off easily and makes your lashes look amazing. And amazing lashes means you look beautiful, awake and ravishing. What more can a girl ask for? Oh and did I mention it’s not expensive? Love me some LashBlast!

Yves St. Laurent Faux Cils

This mascara rocks! It gives you unbelievably long, gorgeous lashes that really do look like false eyelashes. And it comes in a really cool gold tube. I feel fancy just putting it on! I don’t know how it makes lashes look so great but here is what their website says:

Its secret: the triple-film complex. A coating film for intensity, a conditioning film for curve, a fixing film for long-lasting effectiveness. Even the brush applicator combines nylon fibers of varying diameters for volume enhancement as never before.

All I know is that it works. It is kind of expensive and not always easy to find locally but I promise, it’s worth it!

Have a favorite mascara? I’d love to hear about it!

My friend Bitsy sent me this and I thought it was very funny and very true.  So proud to be a member of the female population!

Behold the Woman

Whatever you give a woman, she will make greater.  If you give her sperm, she’ll give you a baby.  If you give her a house, she’ll give you a home.  If you give her groceries, she’ll give you a meal.  If you give her a smile, she’ll give you her heart.  She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her. So, if you give her any crap, be ready to receive a ton of poop.

I took the liberty of changing the last word since the word that was there would get me a lot of trouble with Magnolia. But the visual is the same!
