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!

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!

XoXo,
Whitney

Note: Rimmel London sent me this product to try and review on my blog. 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!
