Max Factor MAXeye Liner
Wednesday, December 9th, 2009
Max Factor (Maximilian Faktorowicz) was one of the first movie set makeup artists in the 1920’s, and created a line of cosmetics that has flourished for over 100 years. However, MaxFactor will no longer be on U.S. store shelves starting January 2010.
To avoid the shipping costs of buying Max Factor from overseas, you should stock up now. One of our favorite must haves from Max Factor is the MAXeye Liner in shade 100 Night Club. No smoky eye is complete without a dark eyeliner, and with this one you get a true black with one stroke. This pigment rich eyeliner is also self sharpening; you don’t have to lug a sharpener around in your makeup bag. We will miss seeing Max Factor in stores in the U.S., but fortunately, it’s a top seller in countries such as the United Kingdom and Russia.

Revlon Beyond Natural Defining Eye Pencil
Monday, December 7th, 2009
Obvious makeup has no place poolside or at the beach. For women that HAVE to wear something, there is Revlon’s Beyond Natural Defining Eye Pencil. These soft pencils are very soft and easy to blend. If you’re into bronzer you’ll really like Shade 610 Brown. It’s a light bronze color that goes very well with neutral makeup

Revlon ColorStay Mineral Lipglaze
Sunday, December 6th, 2009
Everyone likes the way lipgloss looks, but it fades fast. Revlon’s first longwearing lipgloss, ColorStay Mineral Lipglaze, lasts for up to 8 hours. We tried it out and found that it didn’t wear off during the day, even after a lunch. More importantly, it didn’t strip our lips of moisture like typical long wearing formulas tend to.
The gloss stays on for so long because of its mineral complex, which seals the formula on your lips. Our favorite shade is Infinite Rose, which goes on sheer and has a nice grapefruit smell to it.

Maybelline Expert Wear Eyeshadow Trio
Thursday, December 3rd, 2009
Maybelline tends to always stay current on color trends. Their Ivy League trio of shadow is right on time with summer green shades. The light shade goes on the lid, the medium shade in the crease, and the light color for the brow bone or the inner corner of the eye. Instructions are printed on the shadows, making work to cocktail makeup application easy.
These are colors are high in pigment, so what you see is what you get. This particular trio is not for you if you like subtle color. They also have a somewhat metallic finish that’s very flattering. Not sure what palette to get? Try the Maybelline Color Advisor at http://www.maybelline.com/mca/index.aspx to see the best colors for you.

Wetnwild MegaVolume Thickening Mascara
Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009
Thick lashes without clumping? It IS possible! WetnWild’s MegaVolume Thickening Mascara thickens your eyelashes, but the formula itself is not thick and goopy at all. The brush design separates your lashes and reaches even the tiny ones at the corners so you don’t have to keep applying. This product does not give dramatic effect, but its natural finish and eyelash conditioners make it ideal for everyday wear. We also loved that the price is easy on the wallet as well.

WetnWild BeautyBenefits Mint Infusions Lip Tint
Saturday, November 21st, 2009
When you pack for your summer vacation, you should bring sunblock for your skin AND your lips. WetnWild BeautyBenefits Mint Infusions Lip Tint has an SPF of 15, and antioxidants to protect your lips. A welcome bonus was its peppermint oil ingredient, which freshens breath and gives a cooling sensation. The colors may seem dark in the packaging, but this gloss is really a tinted balm with extreme shine. If you like more color, try a dab on top of your lipstick.

Although we all like the benefits of mascara that can persevere through tears and rain, we are often left with dry and brittle lashes.

Now we feel confident wearing makeup to the beach and the gym.
