What’s in Our Kit?!

Have you ever wondered what products make it into a professional makeup artist’s kit?? We are ready to give you a peek inside! We are excited to launch our weekly feature; where we will give you a quick look at some of our favorite products. Some you may have heard of, own, or are saving up to add to your collection…but then some may surprise you! They will range from cult favorites to drugstore steals!

First up…Mascara…it is like the icing on the eyes. Personally, there are PLENTY of days (on our “off” days…is there such a thing?! ha!) where we forego shadow or over the top liner, thanks to using an awesome mascara. We let the lashes carry the look (or we just embrace our laziness ha!).

A cult fave is the Two Faced Better Than Sex mascara. What is so special about this formula is the collagen that creates fullness, length and even aids in curling. (Important to note, this formula does NOT create those “spider eyes” that some other brands do, the ones that boast about being a “fiber lash”… we love this one because it still looks natural!)

So what’s our swap…

We have learned, over the years, that a price tag does not dictate performance, so we are excited to give you a drugstore swap… (as often as you are supposed to dispose of mascara {3 months…if it is dry and starting to be difficult to apply, toss it!}, sometimes it is nice to not spend a ton, especially when it is not necessary!)

drumroll…

  

L’Oreal’s Voluminous Lash Paradise Waterproof Mascara…this stuff is AMAZING! Coming in around 10 bucks (and actually I just saw it for $7 and toss in an Ulta coupon or drugstore rewards and you can save even more!) it is a true steal! And the wand (which the wand makes a difference for sure!) has over 200 bristles, so it catches every lash. But we love the long lasting effects, while adding length, fullness and it is a super lightweight formula. Also, let us add that the same tube color and brush shape when compared to the Two Faced fave, is eerily similar! Haha, probably coincidence, but we notice these things!

So… let us know if you try out either of these 2 favorites! Want to hear about more swaps, let us know!! Email us or comment here!
