My Favorite Mascara: 3 Types of Mascara for 3 different Types of Lashes

I love trying new mascara and different types of mascara give off different looks. Here are 3 of my favorite mascaras…

From left to right: Clinique Lash Power Feathering mascara, Lancôme Définicils mascara, and Clinique High Impact Mascara.

Natural look: Clinique Lash Power mascara gives off natural looking lashes that are perfect for a no makeup makeup look. Leaves lashes soft and looking lifted.

Length: Lancôme Définicils mascara is perfect to extend the length of your lashes leaving your eyes to appear much wider and opened. Might come off clumpy at first, but if you use a cleaned mascara brush to separate your lashes then there won’t be clumps just beautiful long lashes. The perfect type of mascara for glasses wearers.

Volume: Clinique High Impact mascara is my favorite type of mascara. Achieving a curled effect to my lashes and also adding a perfect amount of volume. I don’t get clumps making it easy to apply. 

Tarte Showstopper Clay Palette Review: The Perfect Traveling Palette

I’ve bought the Tarte Showstopper Clay Palette a couple weeks ago for $40 at Sephora and bottom line I would recommend it to a friend. It is not a must have product for regular use at home (since it comes with everyday products you probably have) but since it is summer and vacations are common, 

The Compact Face and Eye palette in one makes this The Perfect Traveling Palette. 

The palette comes with a blush (warm peach), matte bronzer, highlighter (champagne pink), and 6 eye shadows. 

Blush: The blush color is a warm peach which I love using during summer and it last all day. Score: 5/5

Bronzer: The bronzer is Park Ave Princess which is a matte bronzer which doesn’t look orange, blends easily, and last all day. Amazing simple bronzer. Score: 5/5

Highlighter: The highlighter, my least favorite part of the palette, isn’t the best highlighter for me. The color is very pink and white and looks like you used a white shinny eyeshadow. It does last all day though and if blended can be manageable to wear and look good. But not my favorite highlighter. Score: 2/5

Eyeshadow: The 6 eyeshadow colors are amazing! They are very pigmented and blend easily. The brown to rose colors are great choices with many different types of combinations to create. Score: 5/5

Bottom line: Love this pallete! Comes with an everyday blush and bronzer, and great types of eyeshadows that make this palette a

Basic makeup need for any traveling.
