The Mascara and Lashes Guide

Mascara Guide: Reviews, Tips and Other Lash Products

The Mascara and Lashes Guide

I love having long and full eyelashes. I want to look like I’m wearing false eye lashes all the time, but since I can’t actually put them on myself (despite many hours of practice), that means I use lash serums and lots of mascara. I’m very picky about what I use on my lashes, if a product doesn’t do the job it quickly gets cut from the rotation!

Currently my lashes are long enough that I have to be careful which of my sunglasses I wear because they actually hit the inside of the lenses and smudge the lens! Currently I’m using this lash serum every night.

When applying mascara, the key really is a good curl under my mascara. My go-to eyelash curler is a huge splurge, but it is sooooo worth it. It works much better than any other curler, especially since the lash serum makes my lashes hard to curl.

My current favorite mascara is this new from NARS, which is much better about a week or so into using it. Trust me on this, it needs to be slightly dried out. My other favorites are this one from Bobbi Brown (slightly less volume than the NARS), and here’s my favorite waterproof mascara.

The first of my @sephora hauls has arrived! This i The first of my @sephora hauls has arrived! This isn't the whole thing, but I wanted to show that this is the best sale for stocking up on essentials. No exciting new shadow palette here (I'm current obsessed with @Tarte's Tartlette in Bloom) or an expensive hair appliance (I highly recommend the L'Oreal Steam Pod). Here are some of the basics that I stocked up on. Including my current favorite moisturizing lip balm, a lash primer I wanted to try, my go-to makeup remover and the hand cream I apply hourly.

#ad Have you noticed the big sale over on the @Col #ad Have you noticed the big sale over on the @ColleenRothschild website? It's currently BOGO 50% off (with the code LUCKY50), and I'm going to be using this opportunity to stock up! Here are my product picks: Sensitive Skin: I have mild rosacea, and my skin is happiest with gentle, hydrating products. Radiant Cleansing Balm removes everything without over drying my skin, Dual Enzyme Polish is a gentle scrub and AHA exfoliator that I can use a couple of times a week, Micro-Mineral Soothing Toner helps soothe my skin when it is irritated, and Extreme Recovery Cream is a MUST HAVE to help restore your skin's barrier function. Anti-Aging: This is everything you need to fight aging! Some of these products are repeats, but they really are that good. But you'll also notice 2 Retinoids: The Retinol Supreme Night Oil and Retinol Supreme Eye Serum also have Vitamin C, and they're both gentle enough for me to tolerate despite my sensitive skin! Age Renewal Super Serum is also very gentle but can help fight the signs of aging with ingredients like peptides. Body: One of my biggest indulgences during the pandemic has been body products, especially amazing body scrubs! I'm a sucker for a good scrub, and this is one of my favorites. I recommend grabbing the whole collection so they all work together, Tahitian Monoi is my favorite scent. I'm also a big fan of the Restorative Hand Cream (as soon as I took these pictures I stuck it into my work bag, it's going to the hospital with me tonight!). It is so good for combating the dryness from so many rounds of alcohol based hand foam. Travel: The Exploration Collection is perfect for anything you're planning. It has travel sized cleanser, toner, scrub and a hydrating mask. It comes inside of a great plastic travel bag (perfect for containing any spills) and I love the adjustable headband that comes with it. You can shop all of these items here: Shop your screenshot of this pic with the LIKEtoKNOW.it shopping app http://liketk.it/3aNbV #skincare #beautyblogger #colleenrothschild #antiagingskincare #CRBeauty @liketoknow.it #liketkit #LTKbeauty #LTKsalealert
So recently @redken sent me lab samples of a new c So recently @redken sent me lab samples of a new collection, Acidic Bonding Concentrate. They don't have a release date, it's sometime early 2021. I will be stalking their site until that happens. So, this 3 part system (shampoo, conditioner and leave-in treatment) prevents breakage, protects color, intensely conditioners, smooths... the list goes on. And the benefits start from your first use, and then they get better. I am not even joking. This is my hair looking like I've spent a ton of time smoothing as I dry and then maybe even touching up with a flat iron... except that's a rough blow dry with just my fingers. The time savings (and pretty hair) are just unreal, especially if you've neglected your hair like me in the pandemic. I am missing @hairby_tiffanyrose !! Also, I've tried it out, and it appears this is a collection you are best off using all 3 products together. The leave-in alone is good, but the results are best with all 3 used in combination. #hairgoals #redken #beautyblogger

#ad I recently bought a few things to update my be #ad I recently bought a few things to update my beauty look for fall, and these purchases have had a BIG impact! I found a new favorite daily face wash, the perfect berry lippie for fall (it even feels hydrating) and a mascara that really delivers the best of both worlds, both volume and length! All of my new purchases are from @Nordstrom, which means I fully admit to buying a few new tops when I placed my order… Shop your screenshot of this pic with the LIKEtoKNOW.it shopping app http://liketk.it/2ZjcR #nordstrom #ltkbeauty #ltkunder50 #beauty #skincare #fallbeauty #liketkit @liketoknow.it
#ad Today on the blog I'm sharing a much requeste #ad Today on the blog I'm sharing a much requested post, and update on my typical DIY at home manicure routine. I've tried so many different products over the years, but I keep coming back to the same salon quality brands over and over. And the good news is that you don't need to spend a ton to get them, they're available on @Walmart! My at home routine takes me under 10 minutes (plus some added drying time) and can last for a full week, despite all of the alcohol based hand sanitizer that I use in the hospital. I'm really in love with a dark manicure this fall. I want all the deep purples, reds and berry tones. What are your favorite shades this fall?
