Mascara Monday - LORAC Publicity Stunt Lashes

Another Monday, another mascara. Today I want to share with you my thoughts on a fairly new mascara. This is LORAC's Publicity Stunt Lashes.

Publicity Stunt Lashes is a gentle, lightweight, long-wearing mascara made to be waterproof, flake-proof, smudge-proof - and really budge-proof. This mascara lasts and lasts all through the day.

I find this mascara to be very similar to Prescriptives Here to Stay that I wrote about a few weeks back. The real difference is in the brush. The brush is taped in the middle with the shortest bristles there, so application is designed to help curl the lashes, especially in the inner and outer corners, while just coloring in the center of the lashes. The handle is actually a similar shaped comb that you can use to separate lashes after application, if need be. I have not used the comb, as I found the mascara to glide on and coat my lashes in just a few strokes.

 

Usually the longer the lasting the mascara, the more brittle my lashes feel, but this is not the case with Publicity Stunt. I think I have found another winner in the long-lasting mascara category.

Publicity Stunt Lashes comes in your basic black and brown, and sells for $18.50 at Sephora.
 

Benefit's Powder Pop! Combination Set.

My sister called me last night and told me that I need to get this for her.

She was more than in awe of this set from Benefit and said she was putting it on the top of her Christmas list. She also mentioned more than a few times that I would be responsible for gifting it to her. lol

Powder Pop! from Benefit is a box filled with three of it's most popular face powders: Hoola, a bronzing powder; Dallas, a rosy-bronze all-over color; and Dandelion, a soft pink.

As I use both Dallas and Dandelion on a pretty regular basis, I totally understand why she would want this. You see, I like to blend Dallas on my cheeks, over my nose, with a gentle sweep on my chin and forehead, then blend Dandelion over that, just concentrating on the apples of my cheeks. I love the look, and wear it at least a few times a week.  

I guess I should spoil her and teach her my little application routine. I bet she will put Hoola to good use in the Summer months as well!

Powder Pop! is an exclusive to Sephora where it is selling for $30.
