Feels Like Spring

Despite the weather-tease, I highly doubt spring is going to happen anytime soon.
But don't let that stop you from getting ready!! Spring fashions are hitting the shops, and the Fashionista Social Club.

If you're not quite ready to shelve the sweaters (I wouldn't) but you're feeling like a little spring, I have two words for you. Lip. Gloss.

Not any lip gloss. MAC, Plushglass lip gloss in "Fulfilled". It's the perfect, light pink/coral color and looks lovely on everyone. Buy a few and stash them in your winter coat pockets for a little hit of spring in February.

We're So Vain: Perfect Lashes

Mascara is one of those beauty items you shouldn't splurge on. I've tried many and don't see much difference between the high and low end products. Also, you really should get rid of mascara after 1-2 months. This is not just a marketing gimmick from the cosmetic companies (like "Shampoo. Repeat"). Mascara gets dry and gross quickly. Buy a cheapy and you don't feel guilty getting rid of it.

To follow my recipe for perfect lashes you will need two implements of construction: the MAC Mascara Fan Brush and Maybelline's Unstoppable Mascara.

Unstoppable Mascara will seem clumpy when you open the tube. Apply only one coat, then quickly follow with the Mascara Fan Brush (upward strokes towards your eyebrow). This mascara really doesn't smudge and the fan brush will remove any extra mascara and comb out your lashes. Your lashes will look longer - I promise.
