Lancôme introduced Définicils mascara in 1991, can you believe that? Where does the time go? At the time I was attending college in New York and didn’t have a dime to spare on fancy mascara. My experience comes from a summer in Paris, I think everyone in my family fully expected me to make [...]
Lash Out against cosmetics companies
Some people around me have told me in the past not to lash out, but I just couldn’t help myself in this case. NO, I didn’t snap, it’s just that I’ve been in my little rut of mascaras, I tried something last month, but what can I say, sometimes new information comes [...]
I ran to the drugstore late Friday night to see what I could see, a sort of beauty vision quest. I don’t get many of those these days so I went up and down every aisle.
During these little escapes it takes a lot for me to take notice. Most of the products seem like more of the [...]
One of the most constant things in my life is wearing eye make up. I started wearing mascara and eye liner when I was about 12 (retrospectively ridiculous). It was a rite of passage in Queen’s, the blacker and thicker the better, but we didn’t take good care of taking it all off.
Just another case of youth being [...]
I bought Cover Girl’s Lash Blast Mascara a few days ago and I’ve been wearing it everyday. It comes in this conspicuous orange tube, too bad they didn’t make it glow in the dark so I could find it in my purse!
The mascara itself works very well, the silicone brush feels a little funny [...]
I love this look from Revlon, those eyes, that light lip, just gorgeous.
I want my eyes to smolder, BEDROOM EYES to mesmerize my man. The last time I tried a “bedroom look” after the kids were subdued in their cots it was disaster. I emerged from the bathroom with a new nightgown (I later realized he [...]
Thank goodness! no more of the sparse eyebrow look! I was feeling so out of it, I’ve kept my brows what I call ‘natural’ but I’m sure others call thick because I think it suits my face.
Spa brows are not for me, it was done to me unwillingly and I felt so violated. When the tech handed me the mirror [...]
MAC Parrot, a gorgeous vibrant color causing a huge ruckus in the beauty blogosphere. I’ve worn it a few days VERY LIGHTLY which is great because I love a little touch of color on the crease or along the lash line. I would love to just go full blast MAC Parrot but I don’t think small town Maine is ready… just [...]
Glasses, contacts, squinting or not seeing clearly take on a life of their own when you have vision problems. Keeping up with glasses and cleaning contacts are one of those chores I could do without. I’m considering corrective eye surgery but feel overwhelmed with the information out there and a little scared too. The best [...]
I’ve been going through Eye Makeup remover like crazy since I bought the Laura Mercier eye portfolio. I’ve been experimenting a lot but haven’t really gotten the hang of the different shadows. One thing that is a constant is mascara and that can be such a pain to get off!! So I decided to try the [...]
