This month’s favorite mascaras!


Yes, they’re real! That’s what you'll say about your eyelashes when you use these mascaras! ANY one of these babies.

  • MAC In Extreme Dimension Lash
  • Benefit’s Bad Gal Lash (black mascara), They're Real (black), and Bad Gal Brown
  • Makeup forever’s aqua smoky lash
What I love about the benefit & makeup forever mascaras is their small size that fits perfectly in my purse.
I also like changing up my makeup looks every now and then, so what I do is move away from the traditional black mascara, and use the brown one for a more “natural” finish.
If you tend to get bored easily from the same makeup routines, like I do, and if you are a professional makeup artist that loves to buy everything (like I do :) ), then these are your must have mascaras!

Eyeliner Brushes: The must-have eyeliner brushes

MAC's small angled 263 brush:






This is one of my favorite brushes for smudging the eyeliner to give it the smokey effect. Also, this brush can be used to go over liquid/gel eyeliners with a black powder eyeshadow like MAC's carbon.

Makeup Forever's Eyeliner Brush 1N: 

This brush is my favorite for applying aqua eyeliner. Makeup forever's gray line of brushes work best with aqua makeup, and this brush in particular has a long and fine structure that makes it easy for you to draw those straight lines.


Makeup Forever's Eyeliner Brush 2S:



I use this brush when I apply gel eyeliner, because it gives me control over the thickness of the line and i really like it's stiff tip since it gives you that pointed cat-eyeliner edge.

Color of the Year 2013: Emerald Green


From the fashion runways to your makeup bag, Emerald Green should be the color that you spot at a first glance. Why? Because it is our favorite color of the year, and all fashion clothes, accessories, and makeup products will be flashing with it!



Emerald green eyeshadow from Elizabeth Arden:

Urban Decay 24/7 glide-on liner in emerald green:




These are my 2 favorite emerald green makeup products so far.

This color is very complementary for brown eyes because it makes them pop.

Beauty tip: Line your waterline with the Urban Decay eyeliner and that will make your hazel eyes look more green!
