This one was my mom's suggestion... okay so I'm um... THIRTY now, and in the last three years I've noticed that my pores are getting larger :( I know, right? Super sad, but it's just a fact of life and I've just had to deal with it. Along with larger pores came more blackheads, am I grossing you out? Hope not, they are just blackheads. What do you expect, the world is dirty... I mean, if my car can't stay clean for a week and it's kept in the garage, then certainly my big pores are going to be dirty as well. Anyways, my mom bought me Neutrogena's Blackhead eliminating daily scrub, and now I seriously LOVE this product, I noticed a difference the next day, I mean, I still have some, but they are far less than before and my pores look noticeably smaller too, so much better than the apricot scrub I've tried and toners and stuff, it's a keeper!
Next up: Lip gloss, I love lip gloss and I've tried quite a few, but I have long hair, and when the wind blows, or I lean forward or anything my hair gets stuck in the sticky lip glosses and that just grosses me out. So I went on a hunt for a good, long wearing, nice shine, NON-STICKY lip gloss, my favorite, another Neutrogena product, go figure! So their MoistureShine gloss is awesome, shimmery, not sticky at all, lasts a long time (for lip gloss) and it doesn't smell either (that's a big one for me, I have a sensitive nose!)
On to eyelashes: So a while ago I ranted about separating your lashes and why someone couldn't come up with a better solution than a thumb tack. (I don't think it was on THIS blog, I think it's on my other one, so don't feel bad if you don't remember that.) My aunt responded with a product that actually works! The Sepralash by Tweezerman. Unable to find it in my local Ulta, I settled for the "travel" version, the folding Ilashcomb, get it "I" lashcomb... it took me a minute, it's made by Tweezerman and it is fabulous! Most people I know don't need to separate their lashes, but I always needed to, and this did the trick... BUT I don't need to anymore, because I finally found my favorite mascara!!!
My favorite mascara: So I have a friend with the world's most gorgeous eyelashes, people are always asking her if they are fake. They are LONG and curly and just about as perfect as you could possibly get. I've tried and loved (for a few weeks) dozens of mascaras... frustrated, because of clumping, crossing, not getting enough coverage, flaking etc. I texted her while in the store to ask what kind of mascara she used. It was Covergirl Professional Super Thick Lash. Ulta didn't have it, so I sat there in the Covergirl section frustrated and wondering what kind to buy. My mom, yet again, came to the rescue... she said that she had read about what kind of brush to buy, it was skinny and straight, not at all like any of them I had used before, so I grabbed the Covergirl with the brush that looked the most like my mom's suggestion, actually she picked it up first, so she gets all the credit for this one too. Seriously it's my new favorite, and it's passed the "few weeks" test, where it's been a while and I still love it. It doesn't flake, even at the end of a VERY long day, the brush is perfect and covers really well, all in all I'm very pleased, and I've hated whatever mascara I've been using (all five of them) for the last 8 months! So try the Lash Blast Length mascara is the new one I recommend!
Along with lashes: The same aunt who told me about the sepralash also suggested her favorite eyelash curler. I have the straightest eyelashes on the planet, they are long and they point straight down over my eyes... I have always had to curl my lashes, I've tried Revlon's Maybelline's, and Tweezerman's, they've all been okay, but not great. Aunt and my mom both use Shu Uemura's eyelash curler. They were both right, this one is PERFECT, at $19 it better be, but it helped me learn that the $5 curlers, just aren't going to cut it!!! I get perfectly curled lashes in seconds, love love love the Shu Uemura curler (even if I can't remotely pronounce it ;))
Okay, so that's it for today, these are my can't live without products right now... I love being a girl, it's so much fun, makeup and products are just way too much fun to try and to love!!! :D
