With masks being the new accessories we all find ourselves sporting, the eyes have become the focal point of our face now more than ever.  Playful personalities and loving hearts aside, when we are out and about at the moment, our eyes are the connecting point between us and everyone we meet.  With that, a lot of us may be wanting to turn up the volume on our lash game.  I find that whenever I want my eyes to do the talking it begins with a mascara that really works for me.  After many trials and a few errors, I have finally come up with the top five performers and the reasons why I love them.  So, if you are in the market for a mini miracle in a tube, you might want to give one of these a try.

BAD GIRL BANG:  If you're looking for a feathery fringe builder, this one will not disappoint.  The formula is silky yet buildable and the rubber brush knows no clumps.  My lashes grow long and lush with perfect separation for the classic doe eyed look.

L'OREAL VOLUMINOUS:  I bought this one in a pinch one time when I had run out of my usual brand and was soooo happy I did!  Given that I can be pretty picky (okay extremely particular, haha!)  about which mascaras work for me, I was not expecting to find something this good for less than $10.  But, I definitely did!  It is rich in color, easy to apply and the formula really is clump free.  All told this is a great beauty on a budget buy.

IT COSMETICS TIGHTLINE:  Again, when I first saw this little diddy I was skeptical to say the least.  I was, after all, a big brush believer and thought that brush size matters.  Needless to say, my mind was blown by the length and depth I could create with this little powerhouse.  Much like all of the products in this line, it is packed with lash loving ingredients that will nourish and protect your lashes while allowing them to grow long and strong.  And even though it is sold as a lash primer, on days when you just want to keep it low-key, I find it is all I need.

THRIVE CAUSEMETICS LIQUID LASH EXTENSIONS:  I fell in love with this one about a year ago.  After seeing so many fellow bloggers tell about it in their stories, I finally decided to give it a try.  For under $25 I came away with long, lovely, smudge free lashes and a new clean beauty favorite.  

LANCOME OSCILLATION:  I've saved the BEST for last and this is my hands down favorite.  That's saying a lot considering the competition you see here.  But, it is still the number one mascara I reach for when I want a flawless flutter.  Unlike any other that I have ever tried, this one gives a nod to the many amazing beauty tools out there today in the way it oscillates.  The gentle vibration takes away the need to wiggle and pull and allows me to quickly create the perfect lash.  The color and consistency are both completely luxurious and within sixty seconds I have built the perfect lash.  Amazing!


What are your favorite fringe builders?  I'd love to hear your recos too!  Have a beautiful Wednesday ladies!

Happy Monday!  The start of the new week calls for a reason to treat yourself right.  So often for me that means a little luxe beauty indulgence that leaves me feeling fabulous.  Sometimes though those pampering moments can leave our wallets less than happy and far from full.  But all beauty buys don't have to be expensive.  These     get the job done perfectly and none of them are over twenty-five dollars.  That's a gorgeous win-win!  Lately I can't get enough of face masks.  I'm honestly so inspired and intrigued by Japanese beauty and this ritual is one I've fully gotten behind.  Masks can be costly but this line by Tony Moly is effective and affordable.  This one is my current favorite.  When it comes to makeup time, I find that a few key items strategically applied can get you out the door fast with plenty of pow! and time to spare.  A great eyeliner is a must for me.  I love a sightline and was always so disappointed by all those expensive liners that would run and smudge before mid-morning snack.  Then I found this gem by NYX.  I don't know about you but I've found that this line delivers.  I especially love this waterproof liner.  It's richly pigmented, glides on smooth and never ever leaves you raccooning.  You have to stock up though because it's always nearly sold out.  This mini sized bronzer is what late winter skin is begging for.  It gives me just the right amount of warmth as it wakes up my complexion and overtime I wear it I get tons of compliments.  What could be better on a Monday? Haha... I've linked all these drugstore wonders down below.  What are some your budget beauty favorites?  Let me know!

It's a funny thing when a girl wants to achieve natural looking makeup, she can easily spend way more time perfecting it than she would if she was going for a fully made up face.  Ironic.  If you've ever tried for the #iwokeuplikethis look then you know what I mean, haha.  These products I've picked out today are chosen with all that in mind and are some of the best for getting you fresh and flush.  This makeup sponge is the perfect little tool for seamlessly applying and flawlessly blending your concealer, foundation or both depending upon what your skin wants and needs that day.  A bit of a rosy glow is not only pretty on the cheeks.  Light colored eyes really sparkle when you pop a little bit of mauve or rosy brown shadow on them.  This lip pencil gives you the absolute prettiest natural rose lip.  A subtle touch of highlighter will give you that beautiful lit from within glow.  This one is my absolute favorite.  A great mascara wakes up any sleepy eyes.  I've heard really great things about this one and am excited to try it.  Finally, set that look with a nourishing hydrating mist.  I just bought this one and am loving it!.  I've linked these pretties along with all the ones shown above for you below.  Have fun and always show off that natural beauty!

The first weekend of summer was wonderful!  Hope yours was too.  Now that beach season is here, I wanted to put together a list of my favorite melt proof products that effortlessly resist sun and surf and keeping you looking sweat proof.  Makeup needn't be fussy in order to look finished and that's especially true in summer.  Keep with the basics {a smooth canvas, a bit of color and some flirty fringe} and you'll find they're all you need.  Here are my summer makeup must-haves…

What's in My Make-up Bag....AUGUST



 August is well-known for its hot and sultry days as well as for the makeup meltdown they can bring.  Not to worry!  These miracle workers are just what you might need to help you look like a gorgeous glowing goddess. 


Kevin Aucoin:
 The make-up artist icon will always be missed but his beauty magic can still be found in this little pot of perfection.  The Sensual Skin Enhancer is brilliantly designed to work flawlessly as both a concealer and foundation.  Light and whipped, this formula glides effortlessly onto the skin, erasing dark circles and blurring imperfections, taking your skin into soft-focus in less than sixty seconds.

Jouer:  
The cult favorite, founded and designed by Christina Zilber in 2004, has continued to develop products that provide solutions to the modern woman's lifestyle needs. The mineral powder and highlighter featured here work brilliantly together to produce an ethereal finish that withstands the heat and humidity of the day. Don't forget a swipe of this lipstick. It will give you those juicy, moist lips we all covet.


Josie Maran:
Ahh, what can I say about this beauty rockstar who is as philanthropic as she is gorgeous. Her Josie Maran Cosmetics line is built upon the liquid gold ingredient known as argan oil. One hundred percent natural and toxin free, all the products in this incredible line provide beauty without cruelty. My current favorites include the color stick and eyeshadow quad, both of which provide beautiful, natural color along with anti-aging skin benefits. Love!  If you've never tried any of the incredible items featured in this line, run don't walk to the nearest Sephora. You'll be so glad you did!


Benefit:
With its retro look and feel, the products in this line seek to solve many of the beauty problems we all face. For me, that would be filling in and defining the brows. This soft yet bold pencil does just that, leaving behind a perfect arch.
