Growing my lashes

Recently my lashes have gotten shorter and broken off a little bit. I think its because Ive been wearing waterproof mascara a lot more because its summer and I always have to pull and rub on my lashes to remove it. But recently ive been trying to regrow them and I find vaseline works the best for this. After I remove all my makeup I take some vaseline and rub it on my lashes. I go to bed with this on my lashes. Ive been doing this for about a month and Ive found that this has helped my lashes so much! They are much longer and thicker! Have you ever tried this? Has it worked for you? *photo from drugstore.com*

Current Favorite: Sonia Kashuk Lipstick: Pink Punch

Sonia Kashuk's Satin Luxe lip color in the shade Pink Punch is one of my current favorite products. I purchased this, and a couple other shades, at target about a month ago for $9.99. The color is a bright Strawberry pink. Its perfect for the summer! I love the packaging as well, its pretty heavy (slightly heavier than mac lipsticks) and its matte black with a swatch of the color on top. These are SPF 16 which is perfect for summer & plus they are so moisturizing, to me they just feel like a lipbalm! I would definitely recommend this product! Have you tried any of these? What are your favorite colors? *photo from target.com*

Current Favorite: Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain-Smitten

So, your probably all sick of hearing about this new Revlon product, but i think theyre worth all the hype! Revlon's Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in the shade smitten is one of my current favorite lip products for the summer! Its a gorgeous blue based magenta berry shade (It looks a lot darker in the tube) and its pretty bold, which i love! Also, for being a stain these are so moisturizing and they last such a long time on the lips. After about an hour the gloss wears off, but a pretty pigmented color is still left on the lips. I also love that these have a minty smell to them. They remind me a lot of the chubby sticks from clinique, but theyre so much cheaper! I also love the shade Lovesick! Have you tried these? Whats your favorite shade? *picture from revlon.com*

Favorite Summer Nail Polish

The shade Pacific Blue by Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear is my favorite summer nail polish. The color is a bright royal blue. Im usually not a huge fan of blue nail polishes but I think this color works really well and it looks perfect for the summer time! The polish is really opaque so you can get away with only 2 coats. Plus the wear is good, itll last me about 4-5 days without chipping. Have you tried this polish? Whats your favorite shade of the Sally Hansen xtreme Wear Polishes? *photo from sallyhansen.com*

Product I Regret Buying: Garnier Anti-Dark-Circle Roller

I purchased this product a couple weeks ago at target, It was on sale for about ten dollars. Ive been using it everyday since and I dont notice a difference :/ Its supposed to cover the dark circles, which it doesnt. I roll it on my undereye circles and blend it in with my finger and it does nothing for me. I think the product is just too runny and watery. Also over time is supposed to diminish the puffiness, which i havent noticed a difference with either. The only thing I did enjoy about this product was the cooling sensation of the rollerball, haha. I was just so disappointed with this product since ive heard such great things about it. Have you tried this? Did it work for you? *photo from target.com*

Free sephora gift cards!

I was watching some beauty videos on youtube and came across a girl doing a haul from sephora, but all her products she got for free! Of course I freaked & needed to know how I could get free sephora gift cards. Its all from a website called swagbucks. The first thing I did was google if this was a scam or not, I havent found one source that says it is, awesome right?! I also talked to a friend who uses the website and shes already gotten a sephora gift card and an american eagle one! The website works like this, you get invited by a friend, watch videos, play games and answer surveys & each time you do this you get rewarded swagbucks. You can trade these swagbucks in for giftcards, coupons, or other items. Its just like Luuux except its much easier to earn swagbucks! Im addicted(: I have not ordered anything yet, but if I do ill be sure to let you know how it goes! If you want an invite message me your email! Good luck(: or you can just sign up my clicking on this link... Swagbucks.com/refer/jennyk12932 *picture from swagbucks.com*

Makeup Wishlist #1

I've seen a couple people here on luuux doing makeup wishlists and I think its such a great idea! You can get people opinions on the products and see if its worth the buy. So, my first wishlist item is Benefits box powders. I have my eye on dandelion and hervana. I have very fair skin and very oily skin, so im looking for the nonshimmery shades that are pretty natural. What do you ladies think of these box powders? Are they worth the almost $30 pricetag? What shades would you recommend? *picture from benefitcosmetics.com*

Amazonian Clay Blush by Tarte

About 4 months ago I purchased the Amazonian Clay blush in the shade Exposed. For the first couple of months I didnt think the product was anything special, but now that Ive tested it out in the summer heat, Im in love! It stays on all day, even in 90 degree weather! With my very oily skin I was pleasantly surprised at the lasting power of this product. Im definitely going to go out and buy some more shades for the summer! Have you tried the Amazonian Clay Blushes by Tarte? Any shades that you would recommend? *pictures not mine*

Is Vaseline Bad For You?

http://blog.birchbox.com/post/14685314611/petroleum-jelly-ingredient-decoder I just saw this post on birchbox.com about vaseline (or petroleum Jelly). I think its definitely worth a read. Im not sure if all the information presented is backed up with studies & such, but its still a little bit frightening. What do you ladies think? *picture from Drugstore.com, Blogpost from birchbox.com*
