My Review:
PRIMER-The primer is amazing!! Oil free and really makes your makeup stay put ALL day and I mean ALL day- I wore it for 10 hours and my foundation, concealer, bronzer, everything stayed fresh

POWDER- This is a super light and translucent microfinish powder and looks great on the skin. It really gives your skin a flawless, airbrushed finish

AQUA EYES- WATERPROOF black eyeliner..another product that stays put all day (even in the water line!) LOVE it

SMOKEY MASCARA- Have to admit, I'm not really crazy about this product. I found that it made my lashes really hard and not very long or voluminous...Definitely wouldn't buy it again

EYE Makeup Remover- Another great product, gets everything off and made to remove even waterproof makeup

I love makeup forever...I think their products are really great most of the time. Even though I wasn't happy with the mascara, I would still try another formula from the company!
If you want to try out the line, or are looking to get better results from your makeup, this kit is a great way to sample the products.

Grow your eyebrows back?!

Happy New Year everyone!! As the years progress, some of us may find that our eyebrows get thinner (especially on the outer edge). I know I've definitely noticed a difference from when I was younger. Eyebrows are SO important. They frame the face and can change the way your face looks by changing them slightly. So what are we to do? Just keep filling them in with pencil and powders?

There are a couple of things you can try to help regrow your eyebrows. One method is by using Rogaine and brushing a little of it on the outer edge of where the eyebrow is thinning out. I haven't tried this yet on myself, but I've heard that it works great. The other method is to use a combination of olive oil, vitamin E, castor oil...
I've been using this product I received free for working a natural products expo. It's the Vitamin E stick by Reviva Labs. You can get this pretty cheap- only $4.00! and it contains all the ingredients you need to moisturize your lips, eye area...and yes- put on your eyebrows.


Ingredients: Soybean oil, candelilla wax, beeswax, castor oil, octylmethoxycinnamate, ozokerite, oxybenzone, cetyl esters, tocopheryl acetate (vitamin E), olive oil, allantoin, propylparaben, linden essential oil.

I have also heard that people who use this on their lash line get longer, fuller lashes (just make sure it's a thin layer so it doesn't irritate your eye- you can use an eyeliner brush)

If you are worried about losing your eyebrows, it can't hurt to try this! AND...you will have super soft lips at the same time :)

Thanks for reading..Happy New Year!
