This just in from MAC Cosmetics–they have new lashes! Bianca from MAC mentioned this when I went to Fashion Week–so I am excited to finally tell you about it! See the press release below:
Lashes have reached a whole new level… No longer are lashes just for special nights out or glamorous events, they have become an everyday staple being worn by women of all ages.
This fall, MAC takes Lashes to the extreme – whether it’s a natural effect or a more dramatic look you want, it’s easily achieved with the re-launch of MAC Lashes. Acclaimed celebrity lash designer Christina …read more

I just received Prescriptives newest mascara “Here To Stay 24-Hour Longwear Mascara” (try saying that 10x fast) and I’m loving it.
What they promise:
* Lifts, defines lashes
* Long lasting color
* Smudge-resistant
* Ultra-comfortable
* Waterproof
Let me preface this by saying that I am not a fan of waterproof mascara’s. Really…I’m not. They always make my lashes feel brittle and can be a pain to wash off. I’ve actually never associated “ultra-comfortable” with waterproof mascara and kind of scoffed at the thought of it when I saw Prescriptives product promise.
So imagine my surprise when I applied this mascara, only to have my lashes feel …read more

MAC Cosmetics newest mascara, Zoom Lash, is part of their Fall collection: Blue Storm. It is a rich black and is only available until October 2007.
Zoom Lash has an interesting wand. The bristles part of the wand is longer in length (vertically) when compared to other mascara’s I have used and the bristles are also much shorter.
The mascara itself is thick and does at first apply clumpy. However, due to the way the wand is made, a shimmy here and there as you sweep upward easily resolves that issue. Zoom Lash curls your lashes and is also smudge-free. Not only …read more

I am always jealous of these lashes…

Exhibit A lashes

Exhibit B lashes
Seriously, how thick! And exhibit B lashes…are pretty long.
Now those who are blessed with such lashes:

Connor

Duncan
My oldest, Gavin, doesn’t have as long of lashes as his brothers.

And just for good measure…

Brody smiled today :)

Boots No7 Longer Lashes
What they say:
Dramatically lengthen and curl your lashes for an irresistably gorgeous look. The special formula, enriched with pro-vitamin B5 will make lashes look up to 30% longer and is smudge-proof.
What I thought:
I can’t say I noticed any dramatic lengthening, but my lashes did appear to be slightly longer. I also noticed that my lashes curled, especially those lashes on the outter most part of my eye. This mascara was smudge-proof as well. I want to say that this was a no frills mascara and I don’t mean that in a bad way. So many mascara’s want …read more

I’m not one to stick to a particular brand and just about everyday I mix and match my makeup to suit my mood. I would find it inherently blaaaaahh to just do my face with just Este Lauder or Nars each day. How boring.
Some of my favorite mix and match products are:
* Lumiere Mineral Makeup’s Lavender Pearl along my lower lid with Jane Iredale’s Think Pink eyeshadow trio on my upper lid and brow bone.
* NYX Comsetics Super Volume Lip Plumper and Lulu Beauty’s Velvet Lip Lustre.
* Max Factor Volume Couture for thickness and length and Imju Fiberwig Mascara for …read more

Last week I recieved Besame Cosmetics new mascara Sculpture Lash in both Black and Plum. It was unexpected and I was excited to give it a try since I have loved everything I have tried from Besame so far.
What they say it does:
With just one coat, its superb mousse-like consistency lifts, curls and separates while adding extraordinary length and intense volume to create thick luxurious lashes.
Added Benefits:
· A conditioning film for maximum curl, leaving lashes soft and supple, never stiff.
· Silicone polymers to lengthen and thicken lashes for a full and natural look.
· Pro-vitamin B5 and Keratin to moisturize …read more

I admit it, I watched an episode of Armed and Famous tonight. Beyond the weirdness of seeing Jack Osbourne in a police uniform, I had to wonder why someone as rich as La Toya Jackson simply couldn’t afford a nice pair of fake lashes. Has anyone else noticed this when they do a closeup? She has like 6 lashes for each eye, they stick up pointy straight (sort of like our friend Spongebob here) and they have so much distance between them, it’s like from me to New Hampshire. I hope no one told her they looked good because despite …read more

Max Factor’s Volume Couture isn’t out in stores until January 2007, but I was able to get my hands on it and give it a test drive.
This mascara was chosen to be the exclusive mascara used at Milan’s Fashion Week, so it definitely had some expectations to live up to.
This mascara uses the patent-pending iFX brush technology that the other Lash Perfection mascara’s use. Unlike the typical mascara brush, the iFX brush is like a modeled plastic comb with more space, called micro-channels, to give you more coverage without the clumps. I really have to say that I do prefer …read more
