Curl and Length and Volume. oh my!

What is the difference between high end and drug store mascara? I don't actually think there is an answer. I've had my fair share of mascaras on both ends and the best solution for me to get the best lashes, is to combine one from both markets together. 

These 2 mascaras are completely new to me and I am 100% impressed. I feel like Benefit just gets how to do mascara's with plastic wands really well, I loved "They're Real", and I love this new "Roller Lash" mascara too. I'm already a huge fan of L'oreal's "Telescopic", and "Voluminous" original, this "24hr Black Smoke" does not disappoint. The two layered together make a perfect pair. 

Eyebrow Game #strong

Urban Decay Naked Basics : Faint
Urban Decay Naked : Buck
Watts up by Benefit
Angled Brush by elf
Lip brush & eyebrow comb (walmart?)

I usually begin with taking a wet brush (the "lipliner" one with the orange tip) and take the color Faint from the UD Basics to draw an outline of my brow where its needed. Usually this is just the arch. Then I use the elf small angled brush with a mixture of Faint and Buck from the UD Naked 1 and fill in my brows. I comb it all through and Voilà!

I used to use a Maybelline eyebrow pencil to do my brows but for the past 2 or so years I've been using shadows because it looks more soft and natural. I do however want to try the Hourglass waxy/pencil thing. It looks incredible. 

How do you like to do your brows?

The Magic Trio

Left to Right
Benefit - the POREfessional
Hard Candy - Glamoflauge
Benefit - High Beam

I have never been into primers. I think their mostly of use to people with oily skin and I don't really have that. Yet, I am now in-love with one. I had a sample of the POREfessional by Benefit and to use it up I kept applying it to my T-zone. One day I mistakenly too a bit too much so I used the excess under my eyes and HOLY. My concealer has never gone onto my skin that perfectly ever, up until now

And just last week it was hot. It was really hot out and I didn't want to wear makeup but I was bored so I was trying to amplify my under eye area and I took a bit of High Beam with my Hard Candy concealer and again HOLY. It completely diminished my circles and make me look more awake. 

Trust me on this one, try it out!
