Review: Prestige My Longest Lashes Mascara

I love the Bare Escentuals Buxom mascara, and was looking for a drugstore equivalent. The brush of the Prestige My Longest Lashes mascara looks a bit similar, though not as big. It's perfect for creating natural long lashes...see below

Rediscover your stash: LORAC Croc Palette

I am trying to reuse as much as of stash as possible instead of buying new products - thus the "rediscover your stash" series. The goal is to decide if I should keep or toss the product.

Today, this post features the LORAC Croc palette.




Here is the look:










Keep or toss?

What's your fav. blow dryer?

I am in the market for a hair dryer. I need one for doing blowouts to straighten my hair. I have wavy to curly hair.

What is your favorite hair dryer? I have heard raves about the T3 Evolution dryer ($300). Is it worth it?

Love of the week: MAC Ladyblush and Bobbi Brown Powder Pink blushes

Hi All

I actually have two blushes that I am LOVING at the moment. Both of these are my "I-dont-have-time-to-coordinate"/"getting-late-for-work"/"work-appropriate" blushes. Plus I am suffering from dry skin this winter so I am leaning towards cream blushes.

[1] MAC Ladyblush Blushcreme (US $18.50) Color: Demure cool pink flush

From maccosmetics.com "Luxuriously soft and creamy, this cream blush tenderly flushes the cheeks or brings them into full-blown rosy bloom. Blends well; layers exquisitely. Gives a vibrant, dewy fresh, slightly shiny look to the cheeks. Apply with a brush or fingers."

I am totally attest for the vibrant, dewy look!


[2] Bobbi Brown Powder Pink Pot Rouge (US $22.00) Color: Light Pink

From bobbibrown.com "This cream-based formula is great on both lips and cheeks for a sheer, stained finish. Available in a wide array of color choices for a variety of skin tones. For All Skin Types. Creamy and easy to blend - pat on lips and cheeks for a beachy pop of color. Beauty Bonus: Makes an equally beautiful lip color."

Here is a link to the swatch, and also swatches of my other BB pot rouges
