It's beauty with an edge!</span> <span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Years ago my mom gave me one of their eye shadow boxes and I fell in love- even the black and silver glitter ones (I'm too old to wear the glitter colors now). </span><br />
<br />
<br />
This brand makes such great staying products. When I would go swimming I would apply a thick layer of eyeshadow primer potion in color Sin and then cover with a gold shadow. Then I would coat my lashes in Tarte brand 4 day stain mascara. After swimming laps and splashing with the kids, my make up was still on and I'm not exaggerating. I would get dressed and go out for the day without adding any more makeup.<br />
<br />
<div style="background-color: #ea9999; color: purple; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The 24/7 line of eyeliners is um. . . amazing! I want the whole collection! <iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=fineartmakeup-20&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=B00417NXO8&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"></iframe>These liners glide on effortlessly, are smugeable and then they stay put. If you want to get someone who loves makeup a great Christmas present, this would be it, hint hint!</div><br />
<br />
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I also like Ulta or Sephora gift cards. Another great Christmas present is the <a href="http://sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P267200&categoryId=B70">Naked eye shadow palette</a> that comes with a small eye primer(best one!) and a 24/7 half black, half brown eyeliner. This product is in such high demand that Sephora online is out. </div><br />

I turn 30 and I suddenly am old! I don't think so! I refuse to accept it! I have been on a quest to banish puffy eyes once and for all! Since I can't rid my life of allergies, crying and salty foods, I must find other remedies. <br />
<br />
1.For starters, get enough sleep. Oh wait, my baby wouldn't fall asleep last night and my 3 year old kept waking up with scary dreams. So that won't work.<br />
2. Sleep on your back with an extra pillow to prevent fluid from settling under your eyes. Shoot, that doesn't work for me either. I'm too finicky when it comes to my sleep, I'm a side sleeper with my favorite $50 pillow. It's not too full, not to flat. No way will I try an extra pillow. <br />
3. Grab a cold cucumber from the fridge and place slices of it over your eyes. The coolness constricts blood vessels. Ya, I could do that, maybe sometimes. <br />
4. Use an eye cream with caffine or vitamin k. Why? Because it strengthens blood vessels. <a href="http://sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P239606&categoryId=B70"> </a><i>Dr Brandt brand flaws no more r3p eye triple peptide cream<iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=fineartmakeup-20&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=B0029XL244&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"></iframe></i> is a great caffeinated one, however it's pricey. <br />
5. You can also use a serum that comes in a roller-ball tube. They are cooling and soothing and the massage motion helps reduce puffiness. <i>Garnier Nutritioniste Skin Renew Anti-Puff Eye Roller</i><iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=fineartmakeup-20&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=B0023V8N1M&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"></iframe>. For $25, I prefer <a href="http://sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P257537&categoryId=B70">Clinique All About Eyes Serum De-Puffing Eye Massage. </a><br />
6. Do Jumping jacks for about 5 mins followed by deep breaths. It helps vamp up your circulation and keeps liquids from pooling under the eyes. Plus a little exercise never hurts anyone, well maybe your calves will hurt or my case my feet (stupid plantar fasciitis).<br />
7. Curl your upper lashes and apply mascara, that helps disguise the puffiness. Also you could line your lower lash line with a little tawny colored eye shadow.Chareeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01379669797594038092noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-952301310724726322.post-51667626126559268952010-09-04T11:48:00.001-06:002010-09-04T11:50:56.101-06:00Smashbox fun lip gloss<iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=fineartmakeup-20&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=B00161CCC6&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"></iframe><br />

<h2>Get a shiny pink pout all your own! This intuitive silky gloss reacts with your personal skin chemistry to transform from clear into your own custom shade of pink.</h2> I tried this lip gloss on at Ulta a while back and my husband said "that is really pretty, you should buy that." How nice of him, I still didn't buy it. I felt $22 was too much to spend. However, <a href="http://sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P202004&shouldPaginate=true&categoryId=3990">Sephora</a> has it on sale for $10 a tube (limit 2). So I picked one up and I love it. It is very shiny and it transforms into a berry pink on me, it's subtle and not too pink (and I love pink). It is very moisturizing, not at all sticky and the pink stays on the lips for a long time. I just love it and wish I had grabbed two tubes. I think it would make a great little gift too.<br />
<br />
I love the <a href="http://sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P174211&shouldPaginate=true&categoryId=3990">Smashbox Intuitive O-Glow cheek color</a> as well! It gives you a nice pink flush. I want it (add that to my mile long list of wants)! It would be perfect to keep in your purse for touch-ups since you just use your fingers. It gives you a really natural pink flush. I try it on almost every trip to Ulta or Sephora and it's gorgeous! <iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=fineartmakeup-20&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=B00161JJ90&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"></iframe>Chareeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01379669797594038092noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-952301310724726322.post-21855395795693332432010-09-02T16:53:00.001-06:002010-09-02T16:53:41.669-06:00Best powder ever!!! Make Up For Ever<iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=fineartmakeup-20&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=B0016M52EU&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"></iframe>I ran out of this powder today and took a trip to SEPHORA!!! My 3 year old loved it and came home with her nails done and blush and lipstick on. She insisted on wearing her butterfly wings to the store and her tutu. Needless to day, I love having a girly girl!<br />
<br />
This powder is the best powder on earth! I wouldn't want to live without it. It helps set the makeup and keeps concealer in place. The best part about it is that it makes your face look so smooth. It fills in pores and doesn't settle into fine lines ( yes I have them, wish I could get back my 19 year old skin). It gets rid of the oily shine so it's nice and matte. It is white, but doesn't leave a white film. I usually don't put it on my cheeks because I like them to look more dewy. I apply it with the kabuki brush and it is so soft, it's like silk. <br />
<br />
Next time you need powder- get this- you won't be sorry!<br />
<br />
For all you cheapies out there you can try ELF's microfinish powder, it is $6 and I have not tried it because I stand by Make Up For Ever's.Chareeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01379669797594038092noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-952301310724726322.post-1074725342878628542010-08-13T09:39:00.001-06:002010-08-13T09:42:04.482-06:00The arts!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4q_FeOppyicatdFzYwV-RQ4aEeiZo-Cr4PJRJGNSm4-J2UU0jNTgxU3VyNc541Cw5ePwKJjRoTr-0YSNSaZ8fcK4XphhuFeFy8VpgTNYx8avcenozt0pew_x316OewU0DMkvld-EemJI/s1600/the-lion-king-broadway.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4q_FeOppyicatdFzYwV-RQ4aEeiZo-Cr4PJRJGNSm4-J2UU0jNTgxU3VyNc541Cw5ePwKJjRoTr-0YSNSaZ8fcK4XphhuFeFy8VpgTNYx8avcenozt0pew_x316OewU0DMkvld-EemJI/s320/the-lion-king-broadway.jpg" /> </a></div>10 years ago I was living a dream! I was so full of passion for life. I wrote in my journal each day about the exquisite happiness I felt while living in Paris and being surrounded by the art world that impassioned me. I was so young and free from responsibility. Seeing Leonardo Da Vinci's Virgin on the Rocks in person made me teary eyed. Each week I would sit and stare at the Nike of Samothrace in all her grandeur. On a weekend trip to London we went to Broadway and saw The Lion King and The Phantom of the Opera. I lived for those moments. They seemed to awaken something deep inside me. Those things made me happy and full of life.<br />
<br />
The years went by, now my sister who is 10 years younger than me is experiencing the life I once lived. I hear her excitement as she talks about the art she has seen, the places she's been. I wondered how I ever felt that way. I have even heard myself say that my kids have sucked that sort of life out of me. Nothing has seemed to stir up passion inside me until last night . . . The Lion King! I felt young and alive again as the theatrical arts and the live music enveloped me. I found myself being sucked into the songs where the singer sang with such power, I was captivated once again. What thrills me is that I don't feel like a sleep walking mommy anymore. I felt that sparkle enough to know it's not completely gone. I just need to make our next adventure happen. Maybe me and my girls can leave the house today and do something fun! Our goodnight story will be about art tonight. Now I must go put on my makeup. I'm feeling like gold and purple inspired by the makeup from The Lion King.Chareeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01379669797594038092noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-952301310724726322.post-14894979369034512010-08-06T14:41:00.001-06:002010-08-06T14:44:24.801-06:00Thoughts. . .<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWMz46zPDil-_hQEBcsFxgGu4Hjg1SsFCX5rqMvAS2gMfTciFN1TCFHXgC99IsbXFEw0fUjfpoVTMzf5t0xy4_BOFgRse26MTcxZzvdssisMbUImhhoBFyyDnNwPZizY9-IivHbhAILqQ/s1600/IMG_0483.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWMz46zPDil-_hQEBcsFxgGu4Hjg1SsFCX5rqMvAS2gMfTciFN1TCFHXgC99IsbXFEw0fUjfpoVTMzf5t0xy4_BOFgRse26MTcxZzvdssisMbUImhhoBFyyDnNwPZizY9-IivHbhAILqQ/s320/IMG_0483.JPG" /></a></div><div style="color: #e06666;">I've been so lazy lately! But don't worry, even on lazy days I do my makeup! Today as I was doing winged liquid eye liner my 1 year old kept grabbing my legs to get my attention. That's not the thing you want when you are trying to be precise. But I distracted her with some dried blueberries. Food is always an easy distraction. I liked winged eyeliner. it's so pretty! I like pretty things. </div><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">My 3 year old yesterday asked me if she can have her own makeup when she grows up- of course she can! She has been bringing me nail polish and remover each morning to repaint her nails. She's very specific too : put pink on these ones and blue on these ones and a little heart on my toes. Even with all her drama, I'm so glad she's a girly girl!</span> <br />
<br />
<div style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #a64d79;"><span style="color: magenta;">My hubby's work is trying to make it possible for us to move to Japan for 5 months. I hope it works out- we'll see, I never count on his work to come through for us. Nevertheless, I was thinking about how hard it would be to pack my makeup. 5 months without each item would be retched- of course it's do-able, but still. I started thinking about the Tokyo girls fun bright makeup. How inspiring that could be! I could be a little geisha</span>.</span> </div><div style="background-color: white;"><br />
</div><span style="background-color: white; color: #a64d79;"><span style="background-color: white;">Anyway- I'm pathetic these days. Maybe one day I'll get my act together and make a how to makeup video.

Because she is! She ran the Boston marathon back in April (yes she's an amazing runner too! Jealous!) and she went to a Lush store there. I had heard good things about them and I really like natural products so she bought me some fun products to appease my skin care fetish.<br />
My favorite of the products is <b><i>Ocean Salt Cleanser</i></b><iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=fineartmakeup-20&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=B0016O5RQQ&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"></iframe>. I am an exfoliater maniac. But that's a different post. This one leaves my skin feeling so soft and smooth. It's great for all over the body including the face, although it is a bit abrasive. <b><i>Angels on Bare skin cleanser</i></b> is lovely. It is very gentle and exfoliates ever so slightly. My skin feels so soft after I use it. It has bits of lavender throughout, so it's a nice relaxing product. It is really thick and has to be mixed with a little water while you are rubbing it on. I like it a lot. <iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=fineartmakeup-20&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=B0016PKA6W&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"></iframe><br />
<br />
The other two products she bought me I liked, but they have a few negative aspects to them. The first is a face mask called <i><b>love lettuce</b></i>. It is a green mask made out of food. I liked how it exfoliated when I washed it off, it also tightened my skin. What I didn't like was that it had to be kept refrigerated so I sometimes I was too lazy to walk into the kitchen to put it on. Also it expired quite quickly. A few weeks shelf life. Because of the expiration I felt the need to use it everyday. <br />
She also got me a moisturizer called <a href="http://www.lushusa.com/shop/products/visage/hydratants/imperialis"><b><i>Imperialis</i></b></a>. It is very moisturizing and is supposed to be great for skin that is oily in spots and dry in others. It is very heavy so I feel like it can only be used before bed. I don't like the strong medicinal smell, but it does seems to go away, or I got used it it. It does make my skin feel like butter. <br />
<br />
These products are great for those who are earth conscientious, or vegan. They are all natural which is always nice- but the packaging just isn't as cute as Sephora's products, and lets face it, we all know I'm a sucker for pretty packaging.Chareeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01379669797594038092noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-952301310724726322.post-90356010444465380682010-07-07T13:50:00.000-06:002010-07-07T13:50:06.280-06:00My fabulous spa facial!My fabulous mother gave me a facial gift certificate to The Sanctuary Spa where I enjoyed an hour long pampering! I began by soaking my feet in warm water while I inhaled the spicy fragrance of cinnamon and cloves place in a heated wrap around my neck. My feet were scrubbed with sugar- yes I did say I came for a facial. I was then taken to a private room where I enjoyed the subtle sounds of relaxation. I did some deep yoga breathing while warm steam enveloped my face. I enjoyed treatment after treatment slathered on my face. She even massaged my hands and feet with 24 carat gold flecked lotion. My hands and feet glistened in the sunlight all day. I enjoyed the warm towels she placed over my face as she pressed on pressure points and washed the treatments off. When all was said and done I was in a state of utter relaxation. My face was fresh and clean and I vowed I would come back once a month for star treatment- too bad I can't afford this luxury. <br />
If anyone is ever wanting to give me the best gift ever, I highly recommend a gift certificate to The Sanctuary.

It leaves skin soft and never flaky and not at all oily. Great stuff! I'd love to try the night cream.

I have a gorgeous Mac eye palette that I will never throw away. Most of my makeup is high end, but I have ventured out and tried a few cheap ones.<br />
<br />
My favorite foundation isn't cheap, but I have found that <b><i>Revlon Colorstay</i></b> is a cheaper alternative that I like almost as much. If the color matches you this is my top drugstore foundation pick. <iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=fineartmakeup-20&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=B000YDL340&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"></iframe><br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.eyeslipsface.com/"><b><i>e.l.f cosmetics</i></b></a> is the cheapest makeup you can find and some of the products are surprisingly good. The makeup brushes are pretty good starting at $1. My favorite product of theirs is the <a href="http://www.eyeslipsface.com/elf/eyes/eyeliner"><i>waterproof eyeliner pen</i></a> $1. I like each color! It is like a felt tip marker and it stays on my eyes all day without flaking. Pretty remarkable for $1. They also have a good $3 eye primer, it is <a href="http://www.eyeslipsface.com/minerals/eyes/concealers_&_primers"><i>mineral eyeshadow primer</i></a>. I have used it and recommend it if you don't want to spend $18 on a better one. Their $1 <i>tweezers</i> are remarkable. They work almost as well as my tweezerman. They are great for eyebrows, but also for your first aid kit. For $6 you can get their <a href="http://www.eyeslipsface.com/studio/face/powder"><i>studio high definition powder</i></a> which is almost as good as my $30 favorite can't live without <a href="http://sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P210400&categoryId=C13402">Make up For ever HD powder </a>from Sephora. I also like their <a href="http://www.eyeslipsface.com/studio/face/cleansers"><i>studio makeup remover wipes </i>$3</a>. I have tried their eyeshadows and don't like them much. They are really small and go on light. <iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=fineartmakeup-20&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=B001LBFC6E&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"></iframe><br />

Usually their shipping is $7</b></span>. <a href="http://eyeslipsface.com/"><i><span style="font-size: large;">eyeslipsface.com</span></i></a></div><br />
The other cheap makeup I think is totally fine to buy is cheap mascara, especially clear mascara for your brows. e.l.f has one that is gloopy, but works. I like <i>Maybelline Great lash- clear. <iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=fineartmakeup-20&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=B001KYQA1S&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"></iframe></i><br />

I bought a few tubes of it back when my eyes all of a sudden were sensitive to everything. I also bought this brand of eye shadows. My eyes would water and would get a rash- It was almost the end of my life! I thought I wouldn't be able to wear makeup any more and might as well die. Then I tried Korres and Tarte products because they are made with all natural ingredients. Slowly my problem got better and now I can wear whatever. Lucky me. It could have also been the new Meds I started the same time it occurred. <br />
<br />
This mascara it great! It moisturizes your lashes and coats them easily and beautifully. The brush is tiny, so it's easy to maneuver. It stays put and doesn't fake. <br />
<br />
<i> <b>Verdict: </b></i><i>Great volumizing mascara made with natural ingredients that do not irritate sensitive eyes</i>.

I decided to put on just a little mascara and this is the one I tried. Wow, it does NOT come off! The formula is very wet and easily coated my top and bottom lashes of both eyes without having to dip the wand again. It did not leave flakes around my eyes- good. I washed my face before bed and it didn't budge. Shower in the morning- still on. Wow, by the end of the second day it is still on. A few of my lashes aren't fully coated, but it's definitely on. It's bugging me, I need to see if I can get it off. I use my <a href="http://sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P7109&categoryId=B70"><i>Purity</i></a> face wash and it doesn't budge. I heavily scrub it with two different eye makeup removers and manage to get some of it off, but not all. Now I wish I would have just left it on and let it wear off by itself. I just always wash my makeup off, so I couldn't stand to leave it there. But I think this stuff is cool. I would totally wear this before camping or swimming or somewhere I wouldn't normally wear makeup. Pretty awesome stuff. Also it's made of all natural ingredients so it should not bother most eyes. I had a month I could only wear natural organic makeup or my eyes would water and get rashes. This is a great brand for that as well as <a href="http://sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P244106&shouldPaginate=true&categoryId=5715"><i>Korres</i></a>. <br />
<br />
<i><b>Verdict: </b> Has amazing staying power. Truly lasts for days without flaking or smudging. All natural ingredients- plus!</i> <i>Great pick for the no fuss girl who will put it on once and leave it for days. </i>Chareeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01379669797594038092noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-952301310724726322.post-80416913643845245002010-06-09T21:28:00.000-06:002010-06-09T21:28:07.001-06:00Cargo LashActivator<iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=fineartmakeup-20&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=B002AH449E&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"></iframe>I bought this one a while ago when Sephora had it on sale for $5. I really don't like it at all. I would have been mad if I paid $20 original price. It's the plastic brush that I don't like. The bristles are spaced too far apart and the brush is really long. I just don't like the look it gives my particular lashes and they look worse if I keep coating them. If I'm going to wear this mascara, like I did today. I like it best with one or two small swipes. It does last all day and doesn't flake, so that is good. <br />
<br />
<i><b>Verdict:</b> Not on my top 10 list. The plastic brush doesn't grab each lash and gives lashes a really stiff sharp look. </i>Chareeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01379669797594038092noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-952301310724726322.post-51373769114280919692010-06-08T22:36:00.002-06:002010-06-09T21:22:00.693-06:00Rimmel Eye Magnifier mascara review<iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=fineartmakeup-20&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=B002SSWVBS&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"></iframe>This mascara is for sure better than the Max Volume Flash Mascara. I liked the way my lashes looked. They were longer and thicker. This has a wet formula and a plastic brush which really helped separate the lashes and made applying it simple. It's lasts as well as my high end mascaras. I do feel like my lashes feel more brittle and less supple with these cheaper mascaras. When compared side by side to Urban Decay's skyscraper and Cargo lashactivator, all with plastic brushes, I liked Decay's the best, it went on the smoothest with the cleanest look. With that said, it was a minimal difference. For cheap version I would buy this one.<br />
<br />
<i><b>Verdict:</b> Cheap mascara worthy of wearing! It adds volume and length and looks beautiful. Lasts all day with minimal flaking.</i> <br />
<br />
My suggestion would be to buy this mascara and also a product that works as well as RapidLash worked for me. RapidLash will give you long lashes and this is cheap enough for you to save for RapidLash.Chareeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01379669797594038092noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-952301310724726322.post-80206017310461858782010-06-08T16:11:00.004-06:002010-06-08T22:30:53.496-06:00Rimmel Max volume flash Mascara Review<iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=fineartmakeup-20&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=B003B8MGG4&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"></iframe>I chose this because I needed to review a drugstore mascara and this brand was on sale. <br />
Is it worth it to spend money on mascara, or buy cheaper drugstore versions? The more mascaras I try the more I wonder.<br />
<br />
This mascara seems good enough. It gets the job done and it lasts all day, with only minimal flaking. Not enough to leave smudges. The formula is quite wet and it has a traditional brush. Which makes it easy to apply and takes less coats. I think I prefer drier formulas so I can coat them more naturally. What I didn't love was it made my lashes clump together at the tips. I like a more separated lash look- just my preference.<br />
<br />
<i><b>Verdict:</b> For $7 a tube this is absolutely worth the price. I have liked Hourglass and Laura Mercier mascaras the best so far, but they are 3 times the cost. </i><br />
<br />

I only wore mascara and after a few hours I had black smudges under my eyes. I know it wasn't my eyeliner or eyeshadow because I wasn't wearing any. I wiped it off and still had raccoon eyes later. I did put it on my lower lashes because I have been doing that with all the mascara's I have been reviewing. By the end of the day my lower lashes did not have much mascara on them. <br />

It looks better than Smashbox DNA for sure. It builds and thickens. It is a deep shiny black. The brush is easy to use, not to big and awkward. When compared to BADgal it is shinier and thicker. It goes on with fewer swipes. It depends on the look you like, BADgal is more separated and Matte. Both lengthen equally. It is so similar to Hourglass. The formula is about the same, the brush is a little bigger, but the look is the same. I put one on each eye and could not tell a difference. I also put it on without curling my lashes and it brought them up. It builds easily and doesn't get spidery. Great staying power without flaking. <br />

I didn't think I liked the brush as I was using it because it is so awkward. The tip is really square and big, it doesn't taper like every other brand I have used. I did fine applying it, but I can see how people with less skill could get it all over. The formula is wetter than the Hourglass, Urban decay, and Benefit brands I tried so far. I was able to use one dip to coat both lashes. I dipped it once and then moved the brush several times over my lashes. I thought it gave my lashes a more winged look. So maybe the brushes strange shape helped. What I didn't like about the look it gave was it clumped the base of the lashes together. I like more separation. I had a few flecks under my eyes before bed, but barely. <br />
<br />
<i><b>V</b></i><i><b>erdict:</b> Good mascara for thickening and giving your lashes a winged look.

I liked the size of the brush, but I can see how it could be too big for some people. You have to be careful not to get it on your eyelid. The formula is a bit dry which makes it go on naturally and matte. It takes several swipes to make your lashes thicker, but it doesn't clump and get spidery. It separates the lashes beautifully and thickens a bit. It stayed on all day, but it did leave a few flakes under my eyes at the end of the day, but very minimal. I've used this one in the past and I didn't like how quickly the product was used up. I wanted to see the comparison side by side, so before my shower this morning I put it on again on one eye and the other eye I used Hourglass superficial lash and it took triple the amount of swipes to distribute the product and it didn't thicken as well or look as shiny dark as Hourglass, the length looked about the same. But BADgal lash looked more natural, which I really like that look. I still think the biggest con is how quickly the product runs out and how large the brush is. <br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i><b>Verdict</b>: Once again another great mascara. It is long lasting and build-able. The brush is very large and can be difficult to use if you have smaller eyes. The tube also gets used up quickly. Great if you want a matte natural look. </i>Chareeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01379669797594038092noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-952301310724726322.post-91706002528224883842010-05-30T16:07:00.009-06:002010-06-08T16:17:52.513-06:00Urban Decay Skycraper Mulit-Benefit Mascara reviewUrban Decay's Skyscraper Multi-Benefit Mascara was good. The wand is made of plastic which separates lashes nicely. It is a very natural looking mascara and goes on quite thin, but is build-able. I felt like it didn't thicken my lashes as much as other brands, but it did lengthen. It stayed put most of the day with only a few flakes under my eyes, very minimal and that was after planting my garden. I read that if you wear this for 2 weeks straight it will darken light lashes, like a dye. Interesting. This has a very natural look to it. <br />

We will see! So far this is the best mascara I have ever used! The brush grabs every lash. It separated lashes beautifully so they don't all clump together. The formula seems dry, but it makes it very build-able without looking spidery. You can put on as little or as much as you would like. A little looks very natural. A lot seriously makes your lashes look fake. My husband refused to believe I wasn't wearing false lashes. Each time he looked at me he said "that mascara stuff is amazing." It didn't flake off or get under my eyes at all and I used it on my lower lashes. It stayed put. <br />
<br />
Verdict: False lash appeal! This mascara leaves lashes looking long and thick, not spidery. It does not flake off. I will certainly buy this one! I love it!Chareeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01379669797594038092noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-952301310724726322.post-20546242735924249762010-05-28T14:13:00.006-06:002010-05-31T08:27:01.517-06:00Stila Lash Visor Mascara Review<iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=fineartmakeup-20&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=B002LDXFCY&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"></iframe><br />
Yesterday I woke up and prepared for my colonoscopy. Before I left the house I coated my lashes in Stila Lash Visor waterproof Mascara. I really liked the way the mascara went on. It separated my lashes and coated them well with only a few swipes. It is a very thick runny product. It left them looking long and thick. I really liked it. The real test was when I looked in the mirror long after the colonoscopy and recovery. What I saw were flecks of mascara under my eyes. I wiped them away and took a long nap. Again, flecks were under my eyes. I wiped them away and went on with life. Before bed there were still flecks under my eyes, but I noticed how well my lashes stayed curled, usually at the end of the day they are straight again and hanging in my eyes. I scrubbed it off- which was a tough task and went to sleep.<br />
<br />
<i><b>My verdict</b><b>: </b>This waterproof mascara goes on beautifully and holds the lashes curl, however is does flake off and leaves specks around your eyes. It thickens and lengthens. I don't like the flaking, but will wear it swimming. This is not a top pick of mine.</i>Chareeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01379669797594038092noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-952301310724726322.post-72877757473439440352010-05-15T11:45:00.000-06:002010-05-15T14:18:05.544-06:00Van Gough in the Sun!Eyes closed, sunbeams engulf my pale skin. I breathe in the fresh morning air. I reminisce on my trip to Arles, France where Van Gough once lived! Oh to be 19 again. 10 years ago, I was there, I walked the streets Van Gough walked. The sun, the glorious sun! I feel Van Gough's yellow paint as I feel the sun kiss my flesh. <a imageanchor="1" target="_blank" href="http://www.amazon.com/Vincent-Sunflowers-Print-POSTER-gough/dp/B000G64LQ2?ie=UTF8&tag=fineartmakeup-20&link_code=bil&camp=213689&creative=392969"><img alt="Vincent Van Gogh Sunflowers Art Print POSTER gough - 13 x 19" src="http://ws.amazon.com/widgets/q?MarketPlace=US&ServiceVersion=20070822&ID=AsinImage&WS=1&Format=_SL160_&ASIN=B000G64LQ2&tag=fineartmakeup-20" /></a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=fineartmakeup-20&l=bil&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=B000G64LQ2" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important; padding: 0px !important" /> Thank goodness I remembered my sunscreen.

The botanical infused spf 30 wipes feel and smell as fresh as the morning sun. One easy swipe and I am protected from the Sun's magnificent rays. Why can't every brand of sunscreen make a wipe form!

I thought I would post a rant by none other than me. . . <br />
<br />
I believe God has given me a gift. I can see beauty in everyone! I am sad when people don't see the beauty in themselves. I know that we are all special because we are children of God. He is aware of each of us and he loves us. Also he has given us all special gifts unique to us. The hardest part for so many people is believing in themselves and seeing their own potential. <br />
<br />
Last night when the Biggest Loser contestants had their makeovers and looked in the mirrors at themselves and finally saw how far they had come, they had their own breakthroughs. I loved how they looked, but more than that I loved that they could finally see their inner beauty. They finally had confidence in themselves and knew they could achieve anything. <br />
<br />
Anyone can put on makeup and do their hair and look gorgeous; but it's when they look in the mirror and believe that they are great just the way they are, then their true inner beauty shines. Each and everyone truly is a work of art, a fine masterpiece!Chareeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01379669797594038092noreply@blogger.com0
