CoverGirl LineExact Liquid Liner

Formula too thin

I'm a make up junkie and have liners from Wet 'n wild to Lancome / Dior and I found this too be too thin. Without proper prep, it will run and fill any small lines/wrinkles you may have.

N.V. Perricone Active Tinted Moisturizer

Love the glow.

I have a drawer full of foundations for different seasons, moods and trends. I'm always looking for that "flawless, yet natural look". As we age that healthy glow is a little harder to maintain without looking fake. I don't care for the thick sticky feeling of heavier foundations (which turn cakey with too much powder to offset) and turned to tinted moisturizers. I mix Tint 01 and 02 to get the perfect shade, which glides on evenly and blends in perfectly. I top with a very light dusting of powder and I don't feel I'm wearing that heavy make-up mask, but still have a great and naturally healthy looking complexion.

Lancome Cils Design Pro Dual End Mascara

No water/tear resistence!

One of the trademarks of Lancome Mascaras is that you don't have to buy the waterproof/scrub-it-off version to get a good quality long lasting mascara. I love the look of this mascara, a local artist showed me how to apply for perfect long lashes even in the corners... But an irritated eye that watered at the outer corner a little and I suddenly had racoon circles before I could say Lancome!

Lancome Bi-Facil Double-Action Eye Makeup Remover

Can't live without it.

As an avid Lancome fan for 20 years, I'm happy to say this is my favorite product. I've tried many make-up removers and with the current trends of lip and eye stains, there's nothing better than Bi-Facil. Even at 20 years old, I never found this product to be "oily" if you rinse well with warm water and pat dry with a clean soft cloth. In addition you'll thank yourself in years to come, and save yourself the dry skin and damage from excessive rubbing.
