Mascara -L'Oreal - Voluminous False Fiber Lashes
ivygreenpearl 12/28/2011 8:01:00 PM
This is my new favorite mascara. I absolutely love the packaging because it is gold, shiny, and expensive looking. This product is almost exactly an exact dupe of the Yves St. Laurent Faux Cils mascara. This mascara is both lengthening and voluminous just as the Voluminous original. The only difference is that is does an even better job if separating lashes and does not make them clumpy. My lashes are truly "fibrous" and look similar to fake lashes. My new HG mascara which is saying a lot as carbon black was my life before I found this.

I get this body splash from Bath and Body works I love that this scent is a mixture of both fruit and vanilla. It lasts for a good amount of time and I always get compliments when wearing it.

Scrubs -Bath and Body Works - True Blue Spa Island Getaway Need A Margarita Citrus Body Scrub

I purchased this scrub to get my skin ready for the summer. I wanted something to use now so I could save my There's the Rub body glow for the fall and winter months. When I smelled it from the package, it was amazing. The scrub has this awesome scent of sparkling lime and sugar. I used my Hawaii Coconut shower gel to cleanse and then exfoliated with this. it is gritty enough and does a really good job of exfoliating. It also gives you the option of not using a lotion afterwards which is nice for the summer. While I was in the shower, my mother knocked on the bathroom door to ask what I was using because nearly our entire house smelled like the scrub (which is saying a lot since our house is big and airy). The next day my sister went out and bought the scrub because it was too good to pass up. It's now my holy grail summer scrub!

Lipstick -E.L.F. - Studio Matte Lip Color

When I first bought this, I swatched it on my hand and was like "Oh great. Another lip color that is too light and will make me look like I'm auditioning for clown at the circus.". I put it on and just told myself that I would try to make it work by mixing it with other colors. I grabbed a mirror to look at the horror and was absolutely shocked by my lips! It was the absolute perfect nude pink. It was matte which I loved because I am not always a fan of shiny lip products. This has been the only lipstick I have been wearing for a month and with probably be the only one ever since I am more of a balm/gloss kind of person. It is actually kind of moisturizing too! This is the only lip product that if I do not put on my beloved Burt's Bees lip balm on before it, its not the end of the world. HG lipstick for sure. I am already buying my two backups!

Makeup Brushes -E.L.F. - Studio Powder Brush

I remember when people would talk about how soft their brushes were and I would roll my eyes and scoff at how brushes could not be so incredibly soft that people had to comment on it all the time. Nope, I was wrong. The E.L.F Studio powder brush is suuuuper soft and really dense. It buffs any product into the skin for a flawless finish. Even liquid foundation. This is by far my HG powder brush! It competes with brands like MAC and Sigma and may even be slightly better.

Mascara -L'Oreal - Voluminous in Carbon Black
ivygreenpearl 1/17/2011 11:13:00 AM
My Holy Grail Mascara! I have been using this mascara in Carbon Black for close to six months now. It is by far the best mascara I have ever used and a staple in my makeup bag. I love dark fake-looking lashes and this product most definitely serves that purpose. People always comment on how pretty my lashes are when I wear this. All the time! I have been asked if I am wearing fake lashes when I put this on. Although it is a voluminous mascara, it tends to lengthen my lashes some. The price is on the lower side which makes me always happy to buy this. I am on my fourth tube already with an unopened backup.
