NeuLash

So I just wanted to do a quick NeuLash update. I have been using it every night since the beginning of February and I am having great results! My lashes are so much stronger, longer and thicker. As I stated before I thankfully already have pretty long thick lashes. I really do see a difference in my lashes there are a lot of little lashes starting to grow in and the older lashes are looking longer (especially with mascara). I think this product is GREAT for girls who want to add extra nutrition to their lashes to help them become stronger and grow longer.

NeuLash comes in a tube with a small brush applicator which you use to apply the serum to your lashline. You get a lot of product in the bottle and I only have to dip 1 time to do both of my eyes so I think it will last quite a while. I have sensitive eyes and I wear contacts but I have not experienced any irritation with NeuLash. 

I'll take pictures and post them soon! Buy NeuLash at www.NeuLash.com.

Loving Lush- Body Powder

LUSH's Silky Underwear Dusting Powder should be in everyone's after-bath arsenal. It smells like sweet jasmine and it has a silky texture that glides on your skin. It's great to use after a shower to feel dry and refreshed or to sprinkle on your sheets because the smell is so soothing. I like that it has small finely milled shea butter granules in it to keep you dry and moisturized at the same time. When you purchase it make sure to only open it a crack, a little goes a long way.

 

Buy it at your local LUSH store or online at www.lushusa.com for $11.25.

A little bit of NARS and YSL

So here are some new purchases from NARS and from YSL. First, I love NARS, they have such interesting and unique colors, the colors  are highly pigmented and NARS has an awesome array of colors for all skin tones. I ended up getting powder foundation that can be used to enhance my lightly contour cheekbones if applied heavily but it can still be used as a powder foundation as well. The color does not have a gray cast and it has SPF!

While there I saw this awesome blush called Taj Mahal that I had to have! It's like a golden orange with gold shimmer it's so pretty and gives a great natural glow. This blush was made by Francois Nars especially for Naomi Campbell. The color is amazing on all olive and deeper skin tones.

I then decided  I needed a new brush to apply the face powder with soo... I bought the cutest NARS flat brush that can apply powder all over my face or right under my cheek bones.

After finding the perfect cheekbone enhancing powder I needed something to put on top of my cheek bones to highlight them, I bought the YSL Touche Eclat.  I really like it and I do think it lives up to it's hype, it's non drying, not flaky and it does highlight your cheek bones or any other area (a ton of celebrities use it to give them that "glow" in pictures). So... overall I am happy with all my purchases I will be reviewing them in depth soon!

Light Eyeshadow featuring Milani Runway Eyes Eyeshadow

Light eyeshadow and liner can be really pretty and sultry. This look shows you don't need to always wear a dark liner to make your eyes pop. I did this with Milani Runway Eyes Eyeshadow in Beach Sand and a few other products to contour my eye and enhance the pretty golden sparkles of Milani's Runway Eyes. Buy Milani's Runway Eyes Eyeshadow at any drugstore or at www.Milanicosmetics.com. You really need it to complete the look. Thanks Milani!

Here are the products used (it seems like a lot but I used like 1 shadow from each pallet)

 

Above shadows left to right: Eyes By Design Hazel Eye Pallet, Milani Beach Sand, Chanel Eye Pallet. 

Eyeliners Top to Bottom: MAC Mother Pearl Lip Liner, MAC Stubborn Brown Eyeliner

Mascaras Top to Bottom: Cargo TexasLash, Loreal Voluminous, Chanel Exceptionnel de Chanel (it got cut off a bit).

Tops of Shadow Compacts

I used Dawn and Dusk Chanel Compact (First shadow from left and last shawdow)

I used shade 1from Eyes By Design

Milani Runway Eyes Beach Sand- Sparkly light gold

 

Tools (top to bottom) Model In A Bottle Eyelash Curler, Mac 239, Mac 217, Sephora Angled Eyeliner Brush, random fluffy brush. 

 

Ok this look is really simple! It just looks complicted, here are the steps:

1. Apply Milani's Beach Sand heavily all over eye with fluffy brush, keep the shadow under and in the crease (not on browbown! eek)

2. Apply EBD Shade 1 and Chanel's Dawn all over eye under and in the lightly in crease with 217 brush

3. Apply Chanel's Dusk on upper lashline to outer corner and drag lightly on lower lashline with 239 brush

4. Line lower lashline heavily with Mother Pearl lipliner

5. Wet Sephora Angled Brush and tap in Beach Sand and line lower lashline and waterline

6. Line inside the upper lashes with Stubborn Brown Eyeliner and lightly on outer corner

7. Curl Lashes with Model In A Bottle Eyelash Curler

8. Apply  L'Oreal Voluminous let dry slightly

9. 1 or 2 coats of Carbon's Texas Lash (makes lashes ginormous)

10. Apply 1 coat of Chanel Exceptionnel Mascara

This look is really pretty and light. I know MAC Mother Pearl Lipliner is discontinued but any light shimmery gold or peachy eyeliner or lipliner will do. Make sure to set the liner with Milani's Beach Sand to really make it golden and shimmery, this eyeshadow can be used wet or dry which makes it so versatile.
This look is great for girls who have smaller eyes because the light shadows and liners will really make your eyes look huge! 

Milani 3D Glitzy Glamour Gloss

 
Milani Cosmetics introduced their 3D Glitzy Glamour Glosses this season and they are gorgous! They are so fun and sparkly, perfect for a night out.

This gloss is great on it's own (as shown on me) or on top of a lipstick.  It's not sticky at all, which is great and they last quite a while on my lips. Zoom in by clicking on the photo to see the pretty purple/pink sparkles!
 

The color shown is Starshine. Buy them at your local drugstore for $6.99 or at www.Milanicosmetics.com.

Thanks so much Milani!

Everyone can be a model, Model In A Bottle at least!

Model In A Bottle is a really adorable brand that makes some great innovative products. The products I have are Model In A Bottle Make Up Setting Spray Matte Finish, Long Lasting Eyebrow Sealer, Super Gentle Eye Makeup Remover and their eyelash curler.

Setting Spray- ($18) This spray is great. I wore it on really rainy day while running around and my face was matte by the end. My blush stayed on perfectly as well, which is amazing. You can spray it on your face but I like to spray it on a brush and wipe it over my face because I can't see without my contacts in the morning to aim it hahah.

Long Lasting Eyebrow Sealer- ($12) This product sets you eyebrows all day. If you have eyebrows that don't exactly stay put then this is great for you. It's clear and it dries really quick! I like to wipe a bit off and apply it to my eyebrows to keep the arch up.

Super Gentle Eye Makeup Remover- ($14) My eyes are so sensitive so this eye makeup remover is great. It doesn't sting mye yes it has cucumber extract, aleo leaf juice, mugwort extract and algae extract in it. It is so cooling and refreshing on my eyelids!

Eyelash Curler- ($9) This eyelash curler is so cute and small! I like that it can't get twisted in your makeup bag. The gel pad on it is so big and soft so it doesn't smash your lashes. It comes with a replacement pad as well.

All of these products are available at www.Modelinabottle.com!

Thanks Model In A Bottle!

Shiseido Haul

Ok... so I love Shiseido? Yes. I needed new face care products and I've been wanting to try Shiseido for a while. I love everything about the cosmetic side of their brand so I bet their face care products will be great. The brightening products are supposed to reduce the appearance of fine lines, surface roughness, visible spots and dullness. The Deep Cleansing Foam is supposed to "lift away pore clogging impurities, makeup and oil that can lead to imperfections". Late nights can lead to tired looking skin so I hope that these products will help me look wide eyed and bushy tailed!
