My Favorite Mascaras

If there is one item of makeup that I can not live without it is mascara. I have two favorites, one for when I want to splurge at Sephora and one that you can buy at the drugstore for around 7-8 dollars.

My first Splurge mascara is Dior Diorshow mascara.




This mascara is amazing! It really makes your lashes show. I personally love a very volumizing mascara and this does exactly that. Your lashes do not feel hard and I have no problems with it flaking off throughout the day. It runs about $23 at Sephora and I think it is definitely worth the price.


Now for the drugstore mascara, it is Covergirl's Lashblast Mascara.
This mascara is also very volumizing and gives very similar results to Diorshow. The brush is huge and helps each lash to show. I am not the only one who loves this mascara because Walgreens is constantly out of it. They now have colored versions that come in a red tube instead of the orange. I have not tried them but if they are like this it would definitely be worth the money.
Just a note: Please do not use waterproof mascara on a daily basis. This should only be used at times when it is necessary. Waterproof mascara is very drying and can actually cause your lashes to fall out if it is used too frequently. Also if you are one of the many ladies out there that curl their lashes. Please do this before you apply your mascara, curling after can cause lashes to fall out as well.
I hope everyone goes out and tries at least one of these mascaras. I know you will be glad that you did.

Here Comes the Bride







I am so excited that Wedding time is here! I am currently running a $45 special for bridal makeup. I really feel that every woman should feel that they look absolutely stunning on their big day and I figured this would make it easier for anyone to accomplish. I did my first Trial Wedding Consultation yesterday and she looked amazing!!! I am so excited to see what else comes my way. Also wanted to say a quick thank you to Sarah of Yellow Chair Photography. You have helped me out so much in following my dreams. You are just the push I needed to make this happen!
