I was given a chance to try out this mascara as well as to give it out to my friends before it is released. Well, my friends and I agree that the look is subtle and natural. It's like having perfect natural lashes, but the secret is in the mascara. The mascara is ideal for everyday use to create a beautiful natural look, as well as for a night out by adding a second coat. At first the pulse is a bit difficult to get used to, but once you do the results are pretty amazing. Give it a try!!!

Hello Darlings,
Although playing dress-up can be fun... sometimes you're just not in the mood. Saturday evening, Andrew and I were going to a farewell party in Yorkville and I was dying to wear my Armani Exchange Dress. But at the last minute, I just couldn't bear the thought of wearing a dress.
I was craving to wear something simple, detailed and sensual - an understated look that would make me feel relaxed all night, rather than worry if my dress is flying up ( it was a windy night). So this is what I settled for...
I wore two of my latest purchases... my new Susana Monaco top and a new pair of J Brand jeans. When ordering, I thought the top would only be for everyday life. Boy was I wrong... it is everything but simple. The fit is amazingly flattering, and the cut is simple but risque. The color is crisp and the material is super soft. I am definitely looking to buy more things from Susana Monaco collection.
As for the J Brand Jeans, well they are perfect as always. I am huge fan of their jeans. The fit is very flattering and the quality is amazing. I strongly recommend them, they are worth every penny.
I am wearing:
J Brand Jeans;
Mackage Leather Jacket;
I also splurged on these two items by Dior and OPI.
♥ The color of the lip gloss is perfect for summer; bright but not overwhelming.
♥ This polish looks amazing and gives that perfect pop of color. Try it !!!
I wish you all a lovely Monday!!!
Hello Darlings,
By a request of a lovely reader, this is my updated Skin Care and Make Up routine. When it comes to my skin care and make up, my rule is simple - LESS IS MORE. I hate using too much make up or too many skin products. I have Combination to Oil skin type.
Skin Care
Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser
use it every morning and night
use it every morning and night and whenever my skin needs refreshing
use it every morning and night
use it every morning and night. very moisturizing and light
use whenever I don't get my beauty rest
use it every week before scrubbing
use it every week after the mask.
removed black heads perfectly and skin always looks fresh and radiant
Make Up
Use on days when I need more coverage. I've been using it forever and love it
Use it everyday, gives perfect matte look without the cake-y look
gives a perfect gentle sun-kissed look without the orange tint
Best mascara out there, AMAZING
adds that perfectly rosy effect to the cheeks
base shadow, or just for inner eye and under the brow
For days when I feel like wearing eye-make up,lol. Light and fresh
For days that I feel girly,lol.
Simple, can't live without it!
Need to get: ( Are they any good?)
What are your must-haves?
Comes on ladies and gents spill your secrets to staying fabulous?
With Love...

Hello Darlings,
When it comes to skin care and beauty products, it feels like I've tried them all. I am constantly trying something new out of personal interest, and since my skin has "whack attacks". Today I am going to give my 2 cents with a mascara product review and also skin care.
I am allergic to many skin care products. My skin is sensitive, and classified as normal/combination. My skin breaks out from slightly oily product, but also flakes if they are not oily enough. My skin also reacts differently to the same products after consistent use. Dilemma? YES.
L'Oreal Double Extend Tubes Mascara
I am nervous trying new mascaras because of allergies, but had no troubles with this one. It is soft and moisturizing, with no clumping or smudging. It made my lashes appear long (when used with an ultra nourishing base coat). It delivers such a dramatic result there is no need for " fake lashes". $15 dollars well spent, and I would recommend it to those who want extra length.
Yves Saint Laurent Everlong Mascara
My first choice since it delivers a natural look, which is a ideal for every day (opposite of L'Oreal). I like the brush since it bombs the lashes. This mascara is ideal if you prefer, like I do, a bare look with just a hint of color. You can layer the coats for a slightly more defined look, but not as dramatic and drastic as the L'Oreal Double Extend. For me, I use L'Oreal Double Extend for a night out since it gives me the " come hither" look.
Ultra Facial Moisturizer delivers the perfect amount of moisture. I am still deciding about Kiehl's Gentle Foaming Cleanser, since my skin became overly dry. Cucumber Alchohol-Free Toner is very refreshing. Kiehl's Supremely Gentle Eye Makeup Remover is NOT good. The next morning I had dry flaky eyes and felt swollen. Use instead Marcelle Eye Make Up Remover Lotion (oil free), it is gentle and soothing.
Rusk Sensories Pure Shampoo and Conditioner
I've been using this shampoo and conditioner, and it's not the best. It smells yummy, which is why I bought it. For me it is not nourishing enough, but it could be okay if you have oily hair.
OPI Nail Lacquer in You Don't Know Jacques!
ON MY TO BUY LIST...
Kerastase Masque Creme Richesse - Treatment for Dry to Very Dry Sun-Exposed Hair
Kiehl's Light Nourishing Eye Cream
With Love...
