You all know that I have a thing for mascara, and especially love mascara that leaves lashes fat and plumped up. Volume is the way I like it, and my lashes need to be major!
I’ve tried Armani’s Eyes to Kill Mascara, and love it so much that it’s the one I’m reaching for on a daily basis. Yes, it gives you great voluminous lashes, but the brush ensures that you can reach even those teeny tiny members of your fringe at the tips of your eyes. The result is a nicer, fuller, almost curled fringe that gives a pretty and doe-eyed look.
Also great is the fact that this is truly a light-weight mascara. Your lashes won’t feel heavy because of the volume that this provides, and it’s pretty revolutionary in that sense. No mascara ends up under the eyes at the end of the day, yet cleanup is a total snap, so gotta love that!
The cost of this mascara is prohibitive – $43 – but if you want fool-proof application and good wear, then you just gotta have it.
I’ve been wearing this scent all week, and I keep getting compliment upon compliment on it. On the By Kilian website, they describe this as inspired by the scent of rum and the Caribbean.
There is also a lipstick and pure matte lipstick in the mix ($30 each). The lipstick itself is awesome. Called Tzigane, this is a nude pinky brown that will look good on almost anyone. It is an easy to wear, sheer colour. The pure matte lipstick is called Madere and I know that most people will not be able to wear this. The colour is a light beige peach, that will only suit the fairest complexions. It may serve well as a base to lipgloss because it will make your lips look devoid of any colour.
Nina Ricci introduces a new version of their 2006 scent Nina. The new perfume is called Nina L’Elixer, and comes in a pretty red glass bottle with chrome-gold details. The original Nina Ricci bottles were designed by Marc Lalique in the ’50’s and that explains the timeless appeal of the bottle. The original bottle was named “Fille de Eve” and paradoxically hinted at Eden – the bottle has since been modified for different Ricci creations but remains beautiful.
