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.

Broadway Real Life French Nail Kit
Saturday, December 5th, 2009
Not all of us really like long nails. Sometimes short and sweet is what you’re looking for. Although long nails might LOOK nice, they are sometimes cumbersome for everyday living. For those of us who like a short length, Broadway Nails has a Real Life French Nail Kit in “Real Short”.
The nails are really short, but they still have the look of a salon manicure. An added benefit is that they tend to stay on longer because of the shorter length. Application is made even easier with their patented self tab. You can use the tab to hold the nail while you’re applying the glue (anyone who’s gotten super glue on their finger will appreciate this). The glue is a little thicker than normal, so you have more time to get the nail where it should be.
All in all, although this product won’t last as long as acrylic nails, it’s an easy quick fix for when you can’t make it to the salon, or if you have a special event to go to.

Neutrogena Wave Power Cleanser
Friday, December 4th, 2009
It sounded improbable that a vibrating machine would make a revolutionary change in facial cleansing, but after trying Neutrogena Wave Power Cleanser it was amazing to see that this really works! We have no idea why the vibrating motion makes such a big difference, but the Wave really CLEANED our skin better than anything we’ve ever used. There wasn’t a trace of makeup, oil, or dirt left, making us wonder if it was still necessary to use toner.
The Wave also removes layers of dead skin. So whatever moisturizer you use afterward will work more effectively since it will go straight to live skin cells. This is also a great alternative to Neutrogena’s Healthy Skin Rejuvenator Kit if your skin’s way too sensitive for microdermabrasion.
What’s convenient about the Wave is that you can also use it in the shower because it’s waterproof. This product is gentle enough for everyday use, but if you’re skin is sensitive to salicylic acid you may want to use the Wave every other day instead

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.
