Picking The Right Mascara

Choosing the right mascara can enhance your eyelashes and complete your desired makeup look. Here are some factors to consider when selecting a mascara:

  1. Definition vs. Volume: Determine whether you want to focus on defining your lashes or adding volume; some mascaras are specifically formulated to provide length and definition, while others focus on adding fullness and volume.
  2. Brush Shape: Different mascara wands have varying shapes and bristle arrangements, which affect the application and outcome. For example, curved wands are designed to lift and curl lashes, while straight wands can help separate and define them. Test different brush shapes to see which one suits your lashes best.
  3. Formula Type: Mascaras come in different formulas, such as waterproof, smudge-proof, or regular. Waterproof mascara is water-resistant, making it ideal for occasions like swimming or rainy days. Smudge-proof mascaras are designed to prevent smearing or flaking throughout the day. Regular formulas are easy to remove with regular makeup remover. Choose a formula based on your needs and preferences.
  4. Desired Look: Consider the look you want to achieve. Opt for a lengthening mascara with a lighter formula if you prefer a natural, subtle look. Choose a volumizing mascara or a thicker formula for more dramatic or bold lashes. Some mascaras also offer a combination of lengthening and volumizing properties.

Lancome has a collection of mascaras to help you achieve your desired look!

Here is a full comparison and review of their top-selling mascaras:

Remember to replace your mascara every three to six months to maintain its effectiveness and prevent the risk of eye infections.

Ultimately, the best mascara for you will depend on your personal preferences, desired results, and unique lash characteristics. Experimenting with different brands and types of mascaras will help you find the perfect one for your lashes.

I hope you enjoyed this review!

Amazon Beauty Finds

I recently became an official Amazon Beauty Influencer, so exciting!  As part of my commitment to you all and Amazon, I will be sharing the best-selling seasonal products for each month!  

Chapped Lips

As the temperatures cool, dry skin and hair are skincare priorities!  My daughters have severely chapped lips; they use and love Burts Bees 100% natural moisturizing lip balm.  With over 73K 5 star reviews, you know your lips are in the best hands.

Dry Skin

For dry skin, I use a full-body moisturizer that works well for the whole family, such as the  CeraVe Moisturizing Cream.  I LOVE hand creams; I keep them bedside and in my car; my current favorite is First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream.

Dull Hair

The cold weather can cause hair to become brittle and break more easily.  To prevent breakage and keep your hair looking healthy all year round, try the best-selling Olapex Bonding Oil.  This non-greasy oil is perfect for frizzy, dry hair.

Along the hair care lines, I wanted to drop a pitch for the Tea Tree Shaping Cream.  This unisex hair cream has a flexible hold that is perfect for managing flyaways.  Both my daughters and my husband use it!

With a few more months of winter ahead of us, add these skincare solutions to your cart, and rest assured that you are using the best of best products available to you!

DIY Eyebrow Grooming

If you are reading this post, there is a good chance that you are female, over 27 years old, maybe a mom, and need some serious grooming. If the last two years have taught me anything, it is how to take care of business (aka my eyebrows) myself. After not going to the salon for threading for over a year, I saved a lot of time, but I also saved a lot of money by problem-solving my brows. 

About three years ago, I got micro-blading done (see the photos and full post here), and until I can get them re-done by the same aesthetician, I have been using these four tools to keep up with my brows.

Check our all of my beauty posts here.

Eyebrow Pencil By Benefit

I have talked to many of my friends and we all agree that even our eyebrows thin out over time. I fill mine in daily with this pencil by Benefit (#5) to combat thinning eyebrows.  

Many other pencils on the market have similar colors and price points, but not all of them last as long as this one does. After testing them all for you, this one is the clear winner. It also doubles up as a quick eyeliner if need be; try it!

Nair Wax Strips

These gentle strips are perfect for even the most sensitive skin and get rid of the more thin and fine hairs that you can’t get with tweezers and scissors.

CALA Tweezers

Speaking of tweezers, this CALA set is by far the sharpest and most precise tweezer set I have ever used! I used to use Tweezerman until I discovered these; now, I keep a set in my car, too, for touch-ups on the go.

Flawless Hair Remover

I own about five of these! My tweens use the Flawless to groom their eyebrows and upper lip. Even my husband has used it! It is the easiest and most painless way to remove unwanted hair on the face quickly. Add this to your cart and keep it in your car; it will come in handy!

I hope this post delivers on something you need to put your best face forward every day. For more of my favorites on Amazon, check out my storefront!
