Laura Geller Bronze-n-Brighten

I love Baked Italian Cakes.....

I'd read mixed opinions on this bronzer so hesitated to buy it. A dear friend gifted me with it and I LOVE it!!! It looks SO NATURAL and healthy on my light/medium olive skin. NO ORANGE TONES whatsoever. I apply this to my cheeks, chin, bridge of nose and eye creases...add a pop of bright color on the apples of my cheeks and WOW, it looks so nice!!! Worn alone, it's YFBB - Your Face But Better. There is microscopic sparkle baked into the cake that gives a very subtle and natural-looking glow that lasts all day. Perfect for light to medium complexions, Bronze N Brighten makes a fabulous gift!

Max Factor Volume Couture Mascara

Now I'm spoiled!

I haven't used a MF product in decades. I was a huge fan "back in the day" ('70-'80s) when Max Factor and Revlon were THE makeup trendsetters; how I looked forward to their new promotions and shades! But MF has been so low-key and lackluster, I've had no interest. A dear makeup buddy sent me a tube of this mascara, and I must tell you I was rather afraid to put this spiked wand near my eyes! Now that I have mastered it, I am spoiled and can't use traditional bristle-brushed mascaras anymore! I am SO surprised and delighted by this mascara. I get gorgeous results with 2 coats, letting dry before reapplying; amazing lashes with more! It colors and separates, adding fullness and length like no other. What's more, it's FUN to apply! Silly, I know, but it is fun to watch your lashes build effortlessly and so dramatically. Wiggling this wand at the base of your lashes has never been easier or more effective. LOVE THIS!!! Welcome back, Max!
