Lauren's lip liner, concealers, and her blush colors that are usable as lip colors along with the lip balm in the kit are among the best products that I've used. The colors really match my coloring beautifully and last perfectly all day. I don't care for the mascara so much as the consistency is rather thin for my needs but if natural is the look that you go for in mascaras then hers just may be one that you'll love.
Eyelash extensions are something you really need to think about - regarding both cost and time. There is a maintenance factor involved if you want to keep them looking nice. Maintenance involves regular visits to have missing lashes replaced and this not only involves extra time but also extra money. It basically comes down to the simple fact of affordability.
What is it about eyelash extensions that has them become one of the latest craze?
Unlike traditional false lashes that are applied in strips and last a day before needing to be removed, eyelash extensions are glued to your natural eyelashes and last as long as that eyelash does, 6 to 8 weeks depending on care. Eyelash extensions are applied with an adhesive to each individual lash. They fall out when your natural lash does.To maintain the look, you need a touch up every two to three weeks to replace any eyelashes that have fallen out.
Are there other products out there that could possible give you the same look for less cost? Yes there are two products that you can try.
Fiberwig is the top-selling mascara in Japan - beating the competition with remarkable, "false eyelash-like" results.
What it is formulated to do:
Engineered to create the perfect lashes with twice the amount of micro-fine interconnecting fibers, the instant drying formula creates a long lasting film coat around your natural lashes. Fiberwig imparts a perfect, smudge-proof maximum lash extension effect with a water-resistant formula that's easy to remove with warm water, without risking damaging or losing your natural lashes.
What else you need to know:
A jet-black fiber film coats the surface of each lash with long-lasting, clump-free, lash lengthening color that's resistant to tears, sweat, and oil.
$22
Ready To Wear Lash Extension Features:
- Dry cellulose fibers give you the longest lashes possible without actually applying fake eyelashes
- Adds volume and helps strengthen lashes
- Simply apply in between coats of mascara

Papaya isn’t just for eating-it’s also beneficial for natural skin care and repair. One of the most nutritious fruits in the world, it’s full of enzymes, minerals and vitamins-with more vitamin A than carrots and more C than oranges! You can use papaya to treat or eliminate old dead skin cells, dandruff and other skin disorders, and even to reduce the signs of premature aging.
Acne - Apply a mask using the fleshy side of a green papaya skin. Eating papaya supports the treatment internally by improving digestive health.
Dandruff - Shampoo hair with diluted papaya vinegar mixed with lemon juice and leave on for 20 minutes, then rinse. Papaya hair shampoos are also available at health food stores.
Rough skin - Native Americans rub rough skin with the fleshy side of the skin from a ripe papaya.
Sun spots - Apply the fleshy side of the skin from a green papaya to the spots. Papaya vinegar can also be applied.
Wrinkles - Old skin cells make wrinkles deeper. Use a papaya powder face mask to reduce old dead skin cells and make the skin smoother. Apply the fleshy side of the skin from a green papaya.
Caution: In rare cases and with long-term application, highly concentrated papaya could cause sensitivity and skin irritation.

I can't tell you what possesed me to actually try these especially after personally
finding Avon's press-on
nail polish colors a major let down but I did. Perhaps it was simply my obsession
with all things cosmetic combined
with my desire to try everything new at least once on the market. Sephora
seems to have that affect on me. Whatever I find new there I somehow wind up
walking out with.
Whatever the reason I actually purchased 2 of
these, the Tropical and the Exotic.As stated above these are pre- loaded
press on strips of mineral eye shadows
intended to make perfect eye shadow
application as easy as possible.
My results were less than favorable. Admittedly the exotic strips do have appeal
for the proper setting.
I recently was in Las Vegas and decided to try a daring look, hence the Exotic kit.
After at least 1 hour of
applying, removing, and re applying I finally got the technique down.
Unfortunately even after having applied
the strips reasonably decently I found the end resulting look a bit too show
girlish for me.
Outside of purchasing these for the air-brushed exotic designs I honestly can't
imagine their usefulness
especially considering the involved process and the few uses of each box.
Glowing Eyes
Some makeup artists feel that sometimes smoky eyes are a bit much for fair-skinned women. In this case it is suggested that one opt for a pale gold shadow and gray eye liner instead. This gives a subtle but sexy but sexy effect.
Use Two Brow Colors
Another makeup artist tip is to use less brow color where brows are thickest. Using a taupe shade to fill in the brows from the inner corners to the arches and a soft brown from the arches to the ends. If you blend these two shades together your brows will have a more natural look.
Black Soap
An excellent and very affordable skin cleanser that has proven itself to be quite effective in combating acne with me personally is African Black Soap. I came across this unusual looking natural soap at a market in town. A friend that I was shopping with immediately purchased all of the vendors small balls of soap raving about the excellent skin tightening and skin clarification properties of this soap. The bars were inexpensive and I convinced her to pass 2 on to me. Since using these for roughly 3 weeks I can say that this soap is great for doing exactly what my friend stated and my skin has never looked more clear.
African Black Soap or Black Soap
Black Soap or African Black Soap originates from West Africa. It has been used for centuries in Ghana. Each region and tribe have their own recipe that has been handed down through generations. The color of African Black Soap varies depending on the region it's made in since the availability of the ingredients varies. African Black Soap from coastal regions of Africa contains a higher percentage of coconut oil whereas soap from the interior regions contains more shea butter
For centuries, Ghanaians have used Black Soap to help relieve acne, oily skin, clear blemishes and various other skin issues. African Black soap has also been used to achieve beautiful skin. Africans have also used this natural soap for bathing and washing their hair. Great for removing make-up. Black Soap will leave your skin soft, clear and smelling delicious. This soap is not scented.
Black Soap or African Black Soap comes from plantain skin a natural source of vitamins A & E and iron. (Plantain is a popular food in Africa, South America & other parts of the world. In some recipes, Cocoa Pod is used instead of plantain skins. Cocoa Pod is the shell of the Cocoa fruit. The cocoa beans are used for making chocolate or cocoa butter among other things.
Then the roasted plantain skin is mixed with palm oil, palm kernel oil to form the soap. The roasting of the plantains determines the color of the soap. The longer the plantains are roasted, the darker the soap. African Black Soap is centuries old, has numerous benefits & is not scented. It can be used by anyone who wishes to improve the quality of their skin.
What conditions is this soap proven to be useful for?
· Helps deep clean skin.
· Used on most skin types including rough and dry.
· Helps with bumps & spots.
· Helps reveal radiant, fresh & healthy skin
· Firms and tones the skin
FAKE BLACK SOAP is hard. It is dyed black. It does not contain any traditional ingredients, is loaded with vegetable oil, stains your wash cloth, and is chemically processed
Jane Iredale's undereye concealer
Active Light is an illuminating under-eye concealer that instantly brightens the complexion while providing skin care benefits. The revolutionary formula won't crease or crepe, because it contains no talc, leaving a smooth airbrushed finish to the skin.
The mineral particles in Active Light create a soft focus effect and manipulate how light is reflected from the skin, instantly camouflaging any signs of fatigue, covering darkness and concealing dark circles.
The pen and brush dispenser allow for easy and accurate application of the vitamin and anti-oxidant infused formula, which is designed to hydrate and smooth fine lines of the skin. Nourishing oils provide a base for vitamin K to lighten dark circles, cucumber extract for its anti-inflammatory and skin tightening properties and white tea extract to boost the skin's immune function.
Buckwheat wax is also found in the formula and is added to reduce puffiness. An independent in vivo test on 15 subjects showed that 80% of them had a reduction of 10% in puffiness around the eyes after applying a formulation with 1% Buckwheat twice daily for 28 days
