BATTLE OF: Mascara (video)

To say that I’m a mascara hoarder would be an understatement.  I’m too afraid to actually go into my beauty closet and COUNT all of the mascara that I’ve hoarded over the years because, yeah, it might be a little bit scary.  In this BATTLE OF video, I compare two similar mascaras from Benefit and Tarte to see which one works best for me.  Check it out.

Benefit They’re Real Mascara

Tarte Cosmetics Lights, Camera, Flashes Mascara

VIDEO: Under 5 Minute Makeup Routine

Here’s a weird fact: I really only started wearing makeup toward the end of college.  Ok, with the exception that I did, occasionally  wear the super classy white eyeliner on my eyelids during high school.  Oh yeah, I did that.  So sure…now that I actually DO have to wear makeup, my routine is usually under five minutes…mostly because I’m lazy and always running late.  In this video, I show you my not-so-secret under five minute routine (FOUR minutes, to be exact!) that will give you the bare minimum as far as coverage, and not looking like a beast.

In the video:

COVERGIRL and Olay Simply Ageless Serum

Clinique Even Better Foundation SPF 15

Urban Decay Naked Palette

Urban Decay 24-7 Glide-On Eyeliner Pencil

COVERGIRL Lash Blast Clump Crusher Mascara

Physician’s Formula Happy Boost Bronzer

Obsessed: Clarins Instant Smooth Crystal Lip Balm

clarins-Instant Smooth Crystal Lip Balm

When I first saw this lip balm, I knew that I HAD to try it out.  Aside from the gorgeous packaging, you know I’m a sucker, Clarins Instant Smooth Crystal Lip Balm has pretty much everything that I look for in a lip product: a mild tint and moisture. In one easy word, this product is magical, and reminds me of being a kid…here’s why:

  • The “crystalline glaze,” aka the clear outside, plumps and accentuates lip contours and, let’s be honest, we all want plumper, fuller lips
  • The “pigmented core,” aka the juicy center (a la a Tootsie pop), is the actual thing that provides the color and the fact that you can see the differentiation is just FUN.

You need this for summer, enough said.
