A Little Black Primer Goes A Long Way

A Little Black Primer Goes A Long Way

I saw it, and I had to try it!  Estee Lauder premiered a new lash product called Little Black Primer ($24) and while I was skeptical, I also was intrituged.  It’s billed as a prep-step for your lashes.  A base to create fuller lashes that stay flexible and feel healthy.  Or, a lightweight mascara for a no makeup, “groomed” look, a “weekend” mascara.

An Eyeliner That Just Won’t Budge

An Eyeliner That Just Won’t Budge

I recently received a box, and when I opened it I was surprised to find an abundance of eyeliners in my fav formula.  I have long said that Estee Lauder is not just your mother’s cosmetic line anymore.  They have the best long-lasting makeup products out there.  Their double wear line is unbeatable for long wear.  Revlon has a the color stay line, and it’s good, but the double wear line is simply the best in my book.  It stays true to color, and more importantly for a long-lasting product, it is easy to apply.

Lift And Tighten The Kiehl’s Way

Lift And Tighten The Kiehl’s Way

Enlarged pores. If you haven’t thought about them yet, put them on your radar. It is bound to happen to most of us- over 300 million women globally have this skin issue. In the past, dirt and oil have been considered the culprits to this problem, but recently it’s been discovered that aging is another cause. Skin loses its elasticity as we get older, causing our skin to sag, pores to get larger and our face to generally appear older. But Kiehl’s has come to the rescue with their latest product, Dermatologist Solutions Precision Lifting & Pore-Tightening Concentrate ($64).
