LUST-HAVE LIST: August 2014

LHL_aug2014

It’s that time of the year when the days are getting shorter and I’m holed up in my house stalking my weather app for the arrival of cool and crisp temperatures. Yes, fall is approaching and I’m feening for it! I can’t wait to break out my cardigans, heavy knit dresses and tights (NOT leggings).

So, I’ve accumulated a fall intense list of items I’m lusting for this month.

  • Christian Louboutin ‘Rouge Louboutin’ nail polish, $50, Nordstrom – I can’t fathom paying $50 for a manicure, let alone a polish, but Christian Louboutin is releasing his first nail color this month in a bright red, which is the same hue as the sole of his iconic shoes. I’m definitely curious to get a bottle. (PLUS, that bottle looks INSANE!)
  • Sabine Double Link Necklace, $64, Piperlime – I’m not really a fan of silver jewelry, but I love the look of the black and silver link necklaces together. This necklace is a great piece to tie a plain outfit together or add a little edge to a soft look.
  • Rebecca Minkoff Leo Pouch in Leopard, $95, ShopBop – Leopard print is a neutral print to me, because it practically goes with any color and adds a subtle pop when added in the form of an accessory, such as this sleek pouch from Rebecca Minkoff. This piece might become your BFF for a night on the town.
  • Striped Scoop-Neck Jersey Dress, $29.94, Old Navy – I saw the navy/orange version of this dress this weekend while shopping during tax-free weekend and I was so mad that I didn’t buy it, but I’m glad I didn’t, because I would much rather get this black and tan version. Perfect for fall and winter.
  • Kara Chain Loafers, $120, Topshop – I’m really trying to fall back from wearing too many flats, but these oxford loafers are too amazing. I love the detail of the thin gold chain between the upper and sole of the shoe.
  • Tarte Maracuja C-Brighter Eye Cream, $38, Sephora – I’m in the market for a new eye cream and I’ve heard this one is great to help brighten, hydrate, and firm the underye area. Just what I need!
  • Clinique Sonic System Purifying Cleansing Brush, $89.50, Clinique – My skin has always gotten along with Clinique products, especially their 3-Step Skin system. So, I’m definitely curious to try out their new skin cleansing brush. I hear the brush is super soft and gentle, but very effective in removing dirt and makeup from your skin.

tarte Waterproof Mascara

1784

This past 4th of July weekend was great! I had plenty of food, fun, and fireworks with friends and family. However, I also had plenty of allergies and the combination of sweat made it difficult to get through any given day without the inevitable “raccoon eye” from my mascara. It’s too hot for me to indulge in my love of heavy liquid liner, so I have been relying heavily on my mascara to make me and my eyes look a little more awake.

In the past, it was so hard for me to find a good waterproof mascara that could give me fab and full lashes in a waterproof formula, either they did not live up to their waterproof claims or took every ounce of energy, eye makeup remover, and a little olive oil to remove from my lashes. Eventually, I got fed up and just continued with whatever mascara worked for me and my mood and look, despite them not being waterproof.

However, I got fed up again this weekend, but this time with the running mascara look. So, I’m on another mission to find a waterproof mascara that will live up to everything I need and want in a waterproof makeup.

What do I look for in a mascara, you ask? Well, I want a mascara that gives me, or at least the illusion of, thick, long, and lush looking lashes and preferably in waterproof formula. Pretty much the bombshell look without the need of fake lashes, because my sensitive eyes have never been a fan of fake eyelashes and plus they are just not that realistic for my everyday life.

The first mascara on my list to try is tarte cosmetics Lights, Camera, Splashes 4 – 1 (lengthening, curling, volumizing, and conditioning) waterproof mascara, which gives the appearance of lash volume after applying and giving dramatic, thick and sexy lashes and guaranteed to stay put through rain, sweat or tears.

I must admit that I have the original, non-waterproof version of this mascara and it is everything! So, finding out that tarte has a new waterproof version just made my Monday that much better. This mascara mission might have ended before it even started.

Stay Stylish!
