Kiss Premium Eyelashes with Application Strings.

Before you head out for the weekend think about glamming it up a bit extra this weekend. How? With some eyelashes! Put on some falsies and bat those eyes around for a whole new look.

If you have been afraid of false eyelashes or are just not good at applying them, fear no more as Kiss has a new line of Premium Eyelashes with Application Strings. These strings make what is nearly impossible for many (including me!) much easier.

To apply these new lashes, all you do is apply their fantastic easy to apply glue to the strip of lashes, let it dry to the point it is tacky (30 seconds or so) and apply as close as you can' t your natural lash line. The strings not only give a more sturdy feel to the lashes, they help you get the lashes into the proper position. The red strings make it easy as you sort of tug them down and let the glue grip onto the lash line.  Once in place, leave the lash in place for about a minute, to adhere properly, and then pull each end of the string out. Lashes stay neatly and perfectly in place. Every time. Words cannot express how simple it is. You really just need to try it yourself.

Look for the Kiss Premium Eyelashes with Application Strings at Walmart stores for just $3.99 per pair.

Clinique Bottom Lash Mascara.

Did you know that 82% of women wear mascara on a regular basis? And 80% of women surveyed said their brush was either too fat, too long or curved the wrong way to apply to bottom lashes.

Although a makeup-must, even the most highly acclaimed mascara aficionados find it challenging to apply mascara to teeny, tiny bottom lashes and keep the formula from smudging or flaking.  Thankfully, Clinique is here to help.  Always at the forefront of mascara innovation, Clinique’s new Bottom Lash Mascara is specially designed to reach those hard-to-find bottom lashes and lasts for 24-hours with a special long-wearing formula.

Exclusive to Clinique, the Bottom Lash Mascara micro-mini brush is one of the smallest on the market with the biggest job of enhancing smaller, more delicate lower lashes.  The unique precision applicator perfectly defines bottom lashes to create a naturally wide-eyed, lash look.  Housed in a beautifully designed silver floral patterned barrel, its miniature size makes it the perfect portable partner to any Clinique mascara. 

Here’s a tip: For those who have short bottom lashes, hold brush tip vertically and wiggle through lashes then hold normally (or horizontally) to even out for a perfect application.

Bottom Lash Mascara is available for $10, which is said to be a 90 day supply. It is available in either Black or Black/Brown. It will be for sale this month at Clinique counters and online at clinique.com.

COVERGIRL NatureLuxe Silk Foundation.

The COVERGIRL NatureLuxe line of products touted by the brands newest celebrity spokesperson Taylor Swift is here. It has launched in a big way last month and the reviews on this foundation are pretty much spot on all around. I have read about the love on both Facebook and Twitter so I thought it time to chime in with my two cents on this more luxury drugstore foundation.

COVERGIRL NatureLuxe Silk Foundation is a liquid cream version that comes in a tube. It is silky, as it applies as such, and blends with ease. It feels heavier than your average liquid foundation, though not as heavy as your average cream one either. It is sort of like the best of both worlds. The fact that this foundation is formulated with cucumber water along with a hint of jojoba and rose hip extracts solidifies this fact. I think those of you who need a bit of coverage, not too full, and have skin more on the dry side like me, will enjoy the look, feel and most importantly the finish of this foundation. The only thing I wish this had was no scent. I am overly sensitive to scents and especially do not like it in my foundation. Luckily this scent is soft and quickly fades away, making it not that much of a bother - though I still wish it were not there at all.

NatureLuxe Silk Foundation comes in a nice range of 14 neutral shades, and based upon the color swatches over on the COVERGIRL website, they are pretty accurate. It retails for $11.99 and is available at drugstores and mass retailers now.
