Beauty Tip Tuesday

I haven't written a blog in a few days, I've been busy..Usually I'm not. Today I'm going to talk about the importance of Mascara. If there's just one thing you apply in the morning, let it be Mascara...And lip gloss so make it 2 things. Mascara will open your eyes up making them look bigger and make you look more awake and alive. I hate seeing females without any mascara on. It's kinda gross. No offence, that's just my opinion. Now there's tons of different Mascaras out there so which one's the best? Well I don't know, but I know which ones I think are the best. Like most people I have tried a million trillion different types of mascaras in my life. Every time one comes out that claims to make my lashes 10 times fuller and 30% longer I rush to buy it. And usually I'm disappointed. Well I have a few favourites that didn't disappoint me.

For a Drugstore brand: I don't usually like Drug store makeup because it doesn't last as long and the quality isn't usually very good. But out of the drugstore brands that's my favourite is Revlon 3D extreme. I think that's the one with Jessica Alba in the commercial. XXL by maybelline is a good one too. And makup artist swear by Great Lash by Maybelline. You know that one in the pink and green container that's been around forever. I don't like it that much but it's a favourite to a lot of top makeup artist. Also, the mascara that Drew Barrymore is the spokes person for, Lash Blast, I think it's called. That seems like a good one, because I noticed when I was at Shoppers yesterday they were sold out of it. So I might give it a try. Most decent drugstore brands cost between $10-15. If you're going to buy drug store mascara, any of those brands are pretty good.

Bad Gal Lash by Benefit is one of my very favourites. I use to only be able to get it at Sephora but most Shoppers Drugmarts just started carrying it. The brush is pretty intimidating at first because it's as thick as my thumb. You want me to put that near my eye, I thought the first time I used it. But I got use to it. And it really makes your lashes super thick and long and really stand out. It cost about $30. It seems to last longer then most mascaras. I had mine for 4 months before it stopped working wonders.














Dior Show by Christian Dior. This one I bought recently and it's really amazing. It is probably my very favourite mascara I've ever had. It's the same mascara they use for all the Dior fashion shows and ad campaigns . It strengthens your lash and makes them separate, long and lushous. It's about $40 but it's definitely worth it!
