Have You Tried NARS New Laguna Liquid Bronzer

NARS

Just in time for spring, NARS presents their Laguna Liquid Bronzer. Your going to enjoy this sheer and ultra versatile and weightless bronzer. When Melissa Swider, NARS Account Manager For Sephora trained me on this product I was so please with the sheer texture. Melissa shared with me that the bronzer is inspired by Motu Tane, the private getaway of Francois Nars. So now you can escape to paradise with Tahiti Bronze creating the effect of being under the sun by wearing it alone or mixing it with makeup for an all over, healthy looking glow. It’s enriched with Monoi and Tamanu Oils from French Polynesia know for their moisturizing properties.

*For an all over healthy glow mix into NARS Monoi Body Glow, Tinted Moisturizer, Foundation. Also try it with NARS Hot Sand Illuminator. Smooth and blend onto skin.

To apply any type of powder bronzer on the body to really enhance that bronzed look try using NARS Yachiyo Kabuki Brush or the Hanamachi Kabuki Brush.

Get Audacious With NARS New Mascara

NARS New Audacious Mascara

If your looking for instant length and volume for your eye lashes then you will love NARS Audacious Mascara.  The exclusive Lash-catching Brush and uniquely fluid formula intensifies lashes with every layer. It gives lots of extreme…extreme length, extreme volume, and extreme control.

This first to market formula and the NARS exclusive brush let you customize your lash look. With over 200 hooks and bristles, the NARS exclusive Lash-catching Brush evenly cloaks lashes from roots to tips to lengthen, separate and amplify lashes. Tapered tip ensures you reach inner and outer lashes. This uniquely fluid and flexible formula lets you layer and build without smudging, clumping, or flaking. Even though I’m not a fan of plastic brushes I do like using the NARS brush. It’s a little smaller then the average brush that’s what I like about it. Because it seem to work on short lashes, curly lashes, thin lashes, and thick lashes. Try it out and let me know what you think of the brush because I already know you will love the mascara.

If you love a liquid liner but is afraid to use it because you can’t get that perfect liner then you must try Lancome Drama Liqui Pencil. It’s the 1st liquid liner in a pencil. I promise you that you will luv their Liqui Pencil that you will own them all.

How It Works:

*High Flex Polymers allow for maximum pigment load and create adhesion to skin for a no fade, totally waterproof formula.

*Enriched with volatile gliding oils and waxes to set in place faster with no skipping, dragging or flaking.

*Draw and blend with four different finishes in 16 shades: Matte, Sheen, Glossy, and Metallic.

*Color melts and glides onto the eye with no tugging!

INSIDER TIPS & TRICKS

*Can be used in the waterline.

*Smudge immediately after application when creating a soft or smoky liner look since this formula is waterproof.

*You can absolutely stack the liners one next to the other, but cannot layer one on top of the other. Remember to treat this like a liquid to avoid peeling.

*Instant full pigment load in the 1st application with moderate pressure.

*Blend immediately and in the “Sweet Spot” as to not remove more liner than you intended. (Sweet Spot=the point that you are happiest with it)

*For the best winged liner use I like to use Sephora Pro Bent Liner Brush #23 or Pro Gel Liner Brush #26 to help create a sharp line.

*Use gentle pressure when sharpening to protect your liner’s creamy formula.

*Use gentle pressure and soft sketchy strokes when applying to deposit pigment and make it nice and bright.

Oh…I forgot to tell you it’s a Sephora Exclusive

Trying on a lil pop of color…BLUE

With one of the new Pantone Color Of The Year being Serenity, I thought I would try adding a pop of blue on my eyes using a blue eye liner. Serenity is more of a baby blue, I didn’t like the way it looked on my eye lid so I decided to try it on my lower eyes. Here are a four blue eye shadow/liner that I will be trying out.
