(Even a Lancome rep told me that once!) Packaged in the garish and distinctive pink and green tube, it's applied differently than most mascaras in that you should NOT let it dry between coats... just keep piling it on until you get the look you want.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Not waterproof, so no good for weddings or sad movies. But it washes off easily with soap and water.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Great Lash mascara... ugly tube, beautiful lashes!</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4202091454886137582-6997920943951368755?l=carriesmakeupbag.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Carriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04419783371306819643noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202091454886137582.post-34189766998358418672007-06-03T21:25:00.000-07:002007-06-03T21:37:22.463-07:00<span style="font-family:Verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;">This stuff is a miracle for fingernails. I have paper-thin nails that were in terrible shape after years of wearing fake nails, but after 2-3 months of faithfully using Nailtiques Formula #2, I was able to grow them out to a nice length. Read all the gory details on my </span><a href="http://www.epinions.com/content_176321171076"><span style="font-size:85%;">epinions review</span></a><span style="font-size:85%;">.</span></span><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;">You have to brush the stuff on every day, and it ain't cheap. ($18 for the large bottle.) But, boy, does it work! </span><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;">PS. Tried the Sally Hansen cheaper version--not so great.</span></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4202091454886137582-3418976699835841867?l=carriesmakeupbag.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Carriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04419783371306819643noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202091454886137582.post-64897723172545674892007-05-30T18:55:00.000-07:002007-05-30T19:01:36.103-07:00<span style="font-family:verdana;">I've tried expensive lipstick and drugstore lipstick, but I keep going back to Wet n' Wild #712 lip pencil ($1.99 in drugstores).. it's kind of a natural tawny rose... line lips and blend in toward the center, then add gloss with my tube of Carmex. Beeyootiful if I do say so myself! </span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">There is that distinctive Carmex smell, though, so when this tube runs out I'll switch to Vaseline. Carmex smells about as sexy as Vicks Vaporub. </span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4202091454886137582-6489772317254567489?l=carriesmakeupbag.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Carriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04419783371306819643noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202091454886137582.post-62392803165254039172007-05-30T18:45:00.000-07:002007-06-03T21:41:05.396-07:00<span style="font-family:verdana;">Hello, makeup lovers! I've been using cosmetics for 30 years or so, and I like to think I've learned a thing or two! So I'll be sharing my favorite products with you in this blog. After all, why should I hog all the gorgeousness? tee hee</span><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Of course, I welcome your input on anything you've found that makes you look prettier, skinnier, younger, or that just makes you feel better about yourself. Please share... We "natural beauties" need to stick together!</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4202091454886137582-6239280316525403917?l=carriesmakeupbag.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Carriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04419783371306819643noreply@blogger.com0
