Hey everyone!
I received this information, and wanted to share it with you!
LAVANILA Laboratories proudly announces the birth of its newest addition, The Healthy Baby Collection. Launching exclusively in Sephora stores nationwide, this luxurious line will be the only in-store baby collection carried by the prestige beauty leader.
To celebrate this exciting launch, the two have teamed up and will be launching "The Happy, Healthy Baby Search" to find the first face of the Healthy Baby Collection.
To kick off the search, LAVANILA is holding an open casting call at Sephora 5th Avenue on May 14th from 2PM to 6PM. Parents are encouraged to bring their babies into the store to meet the founders/judges, have their entry photo taken and receive samples of the new collection. Plus, the first 50 parents to enter their babies will receive a Sephora gift card with a mystery value up to $100!
Parents who can't make it to the casting call or live outside the NYC area can also enter online at Sephora.com/win/healthybaby until June 1st.
XoXo,
Whitney

Too Faced Retractable Kabuki Brush with Teddy Bear Hair - Review!
Hey everyone!
This is a review on the Too Faced Retractable Kabuki Brush with Teddy Bear Hair!
This brush is extremely soft and dense. The teddy bear hairs easily pick up powder, and apply it evenly across your skin. You’re never left looking cakey!
The bristles are made from synthetic hairs (teddy bear), which means that if you’re sensitive to animal hair brushes, you will not have a problem using this one! The fact that these teddy bear hairs do not shed, makes it even better!
I always keep my brush in its box because the shiny pink case can be very susceptible to scratches.
This brush retails for $30.00
Pros:
~Extremely soft
~No bristle fallout
~Dense bristles
~Applies powder evenly
Cons:
~Pink case scratches easily
~A bit pricey
Overall, I rate this kabuki brush at 4 out of 5 sugarcubes! It is a great brush to have if you are one to make a fashion statement when you apply your makeup!
XoXo,
Whitney
Note: I purchased this kabuki brush with my own money. I am not associated with the company, nor are they paying me to review their products. As always, my reviews and opinions are 100% my own!

~Rimmel London - Max Volume Flash Mascara Review!~
Hey everyone!
This is a review on the Rimmel London Max Volume Flash Mascara!
Here is a bit of information from the press release. The Max Volume Flash Mascara delivers 14X more volume. No other leading mascara available today claims this much volume. The Lash Expand formula is enriched with Collagen to fatten lashes and Keratin for stronger, sleeker, shinier lashes. This exclusive quick-setting formula dries in a flash, leaving no more mess or unsightly clumps.
This mascara is fantastic! It is a great product to reach for everyday.
The wand applicator quickly and easily separates my lashes while coating them in one step. It even reaches the corners of my eyes, and captures the tiny lashes that are normally forgotten about!
The formula of the mascara is fast drying, which is a great product to use for on the go people.
I love the mascara, because it’s a dynamite way to instantly appear awake and alert in the morning. The mascara lasts all day without flaking or smearing off.
The packaging of this mascara is eye-catching, and makes you feel like a trend setter when you use it!
This mascara retails for $7.19.
Pros:
~Quick-drying formula
~Great wand applicator
~Rich, intense color
~Lasts all day
~Eye-catching packaging
Cons:
~None
Overall, I rate this product at 5 out of 5 sugarcubes! I believe it is a get product to use for that on-the-go diva who wants to look her best with ease!

Whitney

~Rimmel London - Lasting Finish Pro Nail Enamel Review!~
Hey everyone!
This is a review on the Rimmel London Lasting Finish Pro Nail Enamel in the shade Steel Grey.
Here is a bit of information from the Press Release: Enriched with micro-sized minerals that fill in imperfections on the nail surface, Lasting Finish Pro Nail Enamel creates a smooth and super glossy finish for up to 10 days of maximum color impact and shine. Advanced micro formula technology with an active time-release system enhances shine over time while UV fade protection keeps color true.
The Mistake-Free Pro Brush features a wide angled brush for a fast and mistake-free professional application. With more than 800 fine bristles, the brush is designed to adapt to any nail shape and requires less strokes to apply, while delivering a super smooth finish and truly streak-free results.
The nail enamel formula is fast drying, and has an amazing glossy finish. From normal wear and tear, this nail enamel can stand up pretty well on its own without chips.
The glossy finish lasts pretty much as long as you wear the nail enamel. I have noticed that after 7-8 days it can begin to dull slightly.
The wide angled brush is great; it makes applying the nail polish quick and easy. With the Steel Grey shade, 2-3 coats gets you a nice dark color, one coat alone is too sheer.
The Rimmel London Pro Nail Enamel retails for $3.99 (which is a great price!).
Pros:
~Glossy finish
~Beautiful, rich colors
~Chip resistant
~Fast drying
~New wide-angle brush
Cons:
~Needs more than one coat
~Peels off easily
Overall, I rate this product at 4.25 out of 5 sugarcubes! The nail enamel is great to wear for everyday occasions, and due to the inexpensive price, it would be great to travel with!

~Arissa Studio's Baked Eye Shadow Review~
Hey everyone!
From Top to Bottom:~Starry Nights
~Outer Space
The eye shadows last all day, but I have noticed occasionally after 6 to 7 hours, they will begin to slightly crease.
The shine lasts all day and does not wear off. The formula is extremely smooth and easy to work with.
The applicators are fantastic! They help you to apply the eye shadow, and blend them out perfectly.
These eye shadows retail for: $5.50! A great deal if you ask me!
Pros:
~Last all day
~Great shine
~Fantastic applicators
~Beautiful/vibrant colors
Cons:
~Can occasionally crease after 6 to 7 hours
Overall, I rate these eye shadows at 4.75 out of 5 sugarcubes! I believe they would be great to travel with, and keep in your purse for a night on the town!

~Arissa Studio's Line Art Eye Liner Review~
Hey everyone!
This is a review on the Arissa Studio’s Line Art Eye Liner in the shade Dark Brown.
Here is a bit of information from the website: Long-Lasting, silky formula glides on smoothly with effortless application. Twist up eyeliner never needs sharpening, with built-in smudger to create that perfect pair of sultry eyes, Available in 6 shades.
This is a duel ended brush with an eyeliner crayon at one end, and a smudger brush at the other end.
I use this product as a brow pencil and eyeliner.
The smudger brush is extremely high quality! It helps you easily smudge the eyeliner to give you that sexy, smoky effect. Also, I use the brush to smudge out eye shadow!
The eye liner crayon is easy to work with and smudge. The color will last all day, but if your eyes happen to water, then the product may disappear. You can shade in your brows easily, but remember to use a light hand when doing so! I love the fact that you never have to sharpen the eyeliner!
Plus, when I use the eyeliner up, I plan to keep the product and use the brush!
This retails for $5.00!
Pros:
~Duel ended
~Multi-purpose
~Amazing smudger brush
~Last all day
Cons:
~Can disappear if eyes water
Overall, I rate this product at 4.5 out of 5 sugarcubes! It is a great product to always have in your purse for on the go touchups, and whenever you need an eye brush!
