Bad Gal

Dear Beautiful,
     My experiences with high end mascaras hasn't been overwhelmingly amazing. Now they weren't horrible but I didn't find that they were worth the money. Except for the Benefit Bad Gal Lash. It's just amazing. I was able to get my hands on a sample size and used it til there was absolutely nothing left. I even went out and bought the mascara the day I finished it. It lengths, separates, curls and adds volume to my eye lashes. That is one product that does everything. I don't even have to curl my eyelashes before I use it. The mascara isn't clumpy and doesn't take long to put it on. It's super easy to work with, there is no need to constantly run the brush through to make the lashes separate. I love this mascara even more than I love my colossal lash. And you guys know that I swear by that mascara, so for me to say I love this more takes a lot. This is a really great product that is great for anyone. It takes to seconds to put on and does wonders for your lashes. I fully recommend this product to anyone that is looking for an amazing high end mascara.

Lash Attack

Dear Beautiful,
     I have been using my new Lancome Hypnose Drama, everyday with another mascara. Not to say that this mascara isn't amazing on its own, I just prefer to use it in combination with another. Hypnose Drama lengthens your lashes to a beautiful length. And I do wear it alone when I'm going very simple. I do really love very dramatic eyelashes all the time. Big bold beautiful lashes, lol I think I stole that from somewhere. Alone I don't get that, so on top I use Maybelline The Colossal Volum'express, or the yellow tube. This makes you lashes look thick without clumping. Another if used by itself, makes lashes look thick but short and stubby. Together they make amazingness. Thick long lashes.
     So how do I do it. Well first I curl my eyelashes. Then I put on Hypnose Drama on my first eye and while that mascara is still wet I put on Colossal Volume. For me it works best if you do the second while the first is wet, so I do each eye at a time. That's how I do it. Some people prefer to wait for the second to dry but I feel like my lashes get clumpy.

Stay Beautiful, Rose

Behind These Glasses

Hey Beautiful,
     I have been wearing my glasses a lot lately, because i got these really cute new grey ones and the first day I did my make up as usual i realized something. The rules are different when it comes to make up and glasses. If you define your eyes with eyeliner on the top lid or waterline, it looks very heavy and over done. So that was the first thing I got rid of. No eyeliner anywhere. The next was the smokey eye which lost it's sexiness behind the glasses and also looked to heavy and over done. After realizing these two things I was like a hiker without my map or compass. After trying a few different things (just eyeliner, just eyeshadow, just mascara, just concealer) I came to my new everyday look which I don't leave the house without.
     So even though I'm wearing glasses, I still conceal under my eyes because I have dark under eye circles and i feel the glasses make them look darker and heavier. To conceal I use my Garnier eye renew and then set it with my Mac MSF.
     Next is the minimal eyeshadow. First I put on the Mac paint pot in 'Bare Study' and place Stila eyeshadow in 'Karat' over top, to set it. These are both skin tone, shimmery eyeshadow's that will make your eyes pop from underneath the glasses.
     I found that mascara seems to define my eyes, all by itself, pretty well without making my eyes look heavy. So my last step is my mascara, which changes from day to day depending on which one I grab. Before putting on my mascara I always curl my eye lashes.

Looking into Her Smokey Eyes

Hey Beautiful,
     Boys may look into your eyes all the time, that's just something they tend to do when they like you. But you want other girls to be looking too. A guy friend once told me "Girls don't get dressed up and do their make up for guys, cause were not really looking, but for other girls," I take it to truth. For me the eye catching look isn't the lime green eyeshadow or glitter, but a dynamite smokey eye. I never give myself enough time to get ready so this is a very simple quick look, that's almost fool proof.
     I like to use my Mac paint pot in 'Bare Study", Stila eyeshadow in 'Coco' and Covergirl eyeshadow in 'Brown Smolder.' If you don't have these exact colors you can use a soft beige with some shimmer, a medium brown and dark brown. Oh and don't forget your primer. We want the colors to stay vibrant and crease-less all day. I like my Urban Decay Primer Potion in 'original.'
-First apply your base. Then apply the soft beige all over your lid and up to your brow bone. This will act as your base color, lid color and brow bone high light.
-Next apply the medium brown in your crease and bring it up just a bit.
-Lastly dab the dark brown in the corner. Don't blend it very far up or onto the lid. Blend just enough so there isn't a harsh line.
     Once you finish this, apply black line to waterline and tight line (upper waterline) and a black mascara. (My favorite eyeliner is Urban Decay 24/7 liner and my favorite mascara is Maybelline Colossal lash.) If you want you can smudge the dark brown thinly along the bottom lash line or the black eyeliner, neither is necessary. And that's it. At first it may take 15 minutes but after your used to it, you'll be done in 5 minutes. since you did such an intense eye, keep it light on the lipstick and blush.
