base mascara c/o Givenchy / Givenchy Base Mascara Perfecto

Have you ever tried using a base mascara? This is the first time I have tried using a base mascara. My problem is, I am allergic to most of the mascara’s on the market. This has caused me to only use two mascara’s on the market which don’t burn my eyes to oblivion. Givenchy happens to be one of the two.

Since the mascaras I choose to use don’t flake, it had not occurred to me that I needed a base mascara; until now. Givenchy was kind enough to send me a sample of their fabulous Base Mascara Perfecto to test out, and review for you. It took me awhile to test it because I assumed I didn’t really need a base for my mascara; boy was I wrong!

The Givenchy Base Mascara Perfecto is so amazing! It eliminated clumping, and thickness; leaving finished eyelashes looking natural and perfect. My eye lashes look long, natural, and well, perfecto! The brush separates lashes so that they get an even amount of base, followed by mascara. This helps to give them volume without clumping, or making the lashes look artificially thick. They look amazing!

Givenchy’s Base Mascara Perfecto not only preps lashes for mascara, it coats them. The coating is natural wax which helps revitalize, and safeguard lashes with natural polymers that form a protective film on their surface. This is a game changer!

I’m so glad this is now a part of my daily beauty routine. Have you tried using a base mascara before? What did you think?

L’Oreal Paris has introduced a new collection of Infallible Paints. You can see my first post about them here. Although the collection was first introduced in January, there is more to the collection then just the lipsticks I spoke of earlier in the year. L’Oreal also has introduced amazing blushes, eye shadows and eye liners too. Love!

This new collection centers on professional level, high-impact colors which are long-lasting and  stay put; making them extremely comfortable to wear. Since spring 2017, and 2017 in general, is all about the statement lip and playing with color, the new L’Oreal Paris Infallible Paints collection is a must-have!

The Infallible Paints lip color collection comes in fourteen, high-impact colors. Aren’t they fabulous! There is a shade for every occasion in the collection from nudes to playful, bright colors. Which color is your favorite? “Taupeless” is my favorite hue from the collection. Keep scrolling to see it on me!

Aren’t these eye shadows amazing! They are liquid cream eye shadow duos which are long-lasting and bold. There are so many options for some serious eye art here! Which colors are your favorite? I’m in love with all of the duos that have a metallic shadow in them. I love sparkles!

How fabulous are these eye liners! I have not tried the white one yet, but all of the others I have, and they are so amazing. These eye liners stay put and don’t smear at all. I need that with my busy schedule! The liner offers a .1 mm width; love that! Which color is your favorite? Mine is the “Electric Blue.”

I am wearing “Taupeless” in this photo. It is a classic color with a bit of a modern edge. Love that!

My little eight-year-old son took this photo for me, isn’t he amazing! He told me “the lipstick makes you look pretty.” Ah, a gentleman in the making.

Isn’t the new L’Oreal Infallible Paints collection fabulous! You can find the collection online here.

All cosmetics c/o L’Oreal. From top: L’Oreal Infallable Mate Lip Gloss / eye brow makeup / mascara / eye shadow /

Sometimes the best beauty products can be found at your local drugstore. I always love finding on trend cosmetics at amazing prices; which also happen to apply nicely, stay on all day, and are nice to my skin!

One of the biggest trends in beauty right now is the  matte lip. We are seeing matte lipsticks, and lip glosses in vivid hues, with pink tones, for the spring 2016 season. The matte lip also happened to be on the fall runways in New York!

I loved how it looked on the runways, which made this beauty trend high on my list of trends to share with you, and to wear right now!

So in February, when I returned home from New York Fashion Week and found an amazing train case full of L’Oreal goodies for spring waiting for me at home, I was thrilled! After all, the perfect matte lip gloss was inside!

L’Oreal Infallable lip gloss goes on smooth, and it is not sticky like so many other lip glosses on the market. I also love all the colors. There are fabulous hues for spring, summer, and next fall! Love!

The brow kit pictured above is also a great way to structure brows. I love the tools inside the compact, they are really to use. I also love how each compact offers two hues, which help design a natural looking brow.

Did you see all the beautiful eye shadow colors? Love! The neutral colors are perfect for everyday wear, and the blue is ideal for a night out on the town; or the next time one of my friends throws an 80’s party. Totally tubular 😉

You can find all these pretty products by L’Oreal at your local drugstore, or online here, and here.
