It Cosmetics Hello Lashes 5-in-1 Volumizing Mascara

Hey everyone!

I'll be honest, I don't have a good track record when it comes to mascaras. My previous mascaras have loved to flake off, smear, and give me raccoon eyes throughout the day. However, all that has changed thanks to It Cosmetics' new Hello Lashes 5-in-1 Volumizing Mascara! The unique shape of the wand gives me full access to all of my lashes, and I am able to give them a generous coat of mascara without making a huge mess on my eyelids! The voluminizing formula last all day, without smearing or flaking off. Plus, the packaging just feels luxurious in your hand!


Here is what It Cosmetics has to say:

Developed with leading plastic surgeons, Hello Lashes 5-in-1 Treatment Mascara revolutionizes and takes the place of five products--volumizing mascara, conditioning lash primer, lash-enhancing serum, lash tint, and a lash comb/curler! Hello Lashes offers the blackest of black color that lasts and doesn't flake or fade. The triple-brush lengthens, curls, and separates lashes while the innovative Magic Wand lash ball detailer tip is designed to reach every last inner and outer corner lash. Utilizes technology to infuse a blend of lash-enhancing and conditioning ingredients, including peptides, collagen, proteins, acai, jojoba, green tea, and vitamins A, C, E, and B5. Paraben, fragrance, phthalate, and sulfate free. Made in the USA.


How to Use: 

Starting at the base of your lashes, hold the brush horizontally, then wiggle and sweep the brush up and through to the tips. Next, use the lash ball detailer to add length, volume, and separation to your lower lashes, as well as your inner and outer corner lashes. For a more dramatic look, add additional coats. It's easy to remove using soap and warm water or eye makeup remover.

This product retails for $24.00, and can be purchased at www.itcosmetics.com and www.qvc.com!

New Spring Scents

Hey everyone!

I'll admit it, I love perfumes! My collection is vast, and keeps growing every time I'm out and about shopping! So with the spring season right around the corner, I have been on the hunt for new fresh and girly scents. However, the second I sniffed the Guess Girl and Hedi Klum's Surprise fragrances, I knew my search was over. These new fragrances are perfect to wear this spring, because they are soft and feminine. Both lasts for hours on the skin, and I receive compliments one after the other when I wear either one!

It's time to pack away those heavy winter fragrances, and embrace the freshness of spring!


GUESS Girl: GUESS Girl is proudly feminine, and its design is playfully pink. The fragrance is presented in a soft pink folding box bedecked with a printed fuchsia ribbon that lyrically wraps around the package and forms the letter “G.” Open this gift to discover a shapely glass flacon that embodies its curvy muse. The fragrance makes an entrance with a burst of sweet promise:  innocent Raspberry Nectar, coy Melon, and intriguing Bergamot Mist. The flirtation continues with a tease of rare Brazilian Paradise Orchid, intoxicating Acacia Flower, and alluring Lily. Finally, it ensnares you with voluptuous Vanilla and indulgent Sandalwood, leaving an impression as lasting as lipstick on a pillowcase. 3.4 fl oz./$52. Available at GUESS.com.



Surprise! By Heidi Klum: Surprise her with the ultimate romantic gift: an unexpected, exuberant fragrance. Reflecting Heidi’s multi-faceted personality, Surprise! is built around explosive, elegant notes, creating a sexy floral fragrance.  It opens with a joyful burst of juicy Mandarin extracts and spicy Pink Pepper for a luminous and dynamic top note.  At the heart, an ultra-feminine bouquet of Rose Petals and Magnolia creates a refined radiance.  Finally, the magnetic drydown of Benzoin and Milk of Sandalwood delivers a warm, sensual and unforgettable effect. 1.0 fl. oz./$28.00.  Available at drugstores nationwide.

Katy Perry Rocks the Rimmel London Look at the Grammys

Hey everyone!

At the 55th annual Grammy Awards, Katy Perry stunned in an old Hollywood-inspired makeup look created for her by makeup artist Jake Bailey using products from Rimmel London. Perry was a nominee and a presenter at the Awards, which were held on Sunday evening, February 10th at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.


To get the look, Bailey:

1. Defined Perry’s lash line with Rimmel London ScandalEyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal Eyeliner in black. Bailey then used Rimmel London’s Glam’Eyes Eyeshadow Trio in “Orion” to contour Perry’s eyes. Bailey highlighted Katy’s eyelid and brow bone with Rimmel London’s ScandalEyes Shadow Stick in “Bulletproof Beige,” and finished the eyes with a rich coat of Rimmel London’s ScandalEyes Mascara in Black.

2. Bailey perfected Perry’s skin by mixing 1/3 Rimmel London BB Cream in Light with 2/3 Match Perfection Foundation in Nude to create a base. “The BB Cream sheers the foundation out and gives it a little glow,” said Bailey. Bailey then warmed Perry’s complexion with a dusting of Rimmel London’s Lasting Finish Soft Colour Mono Blush in “Pink Rose” on the apples of Perry’s cheeks.

3. Bailey completed the look by lining Perry’s lips with Rimmel London Lasting Finish 1000 Kisses Lipliner in Natural, and applying a coat of Rimmel London Lasting Finish Lipstick in “Crush.”    

Rimmel London products are available at chain drug stores and mass retailers nationwide. Visit www.RimmelLondon.com for store locations and to try the newest products with Rimmel London’s exclusive Virtual Makeup Tool.
