November Picks

Hello my loves!! Thank you for being so patient - the wait is over. I'm back and couldn't be happier!! I figure I would start with where I left off and do a Novembers picks video. Let's see what goodies I have found this time, shall we?

My November Picks

1. The pretty and posh butter London - The Remover Collection Trio. I've had my eye on this collection ever since I got a free sample of the Powder Room one when I was purchasing some of butter London's 3 Free Nail Lacquers. Not only are these removers travel-friendly and acetone-free but they are lightning fast at removing even the most stubborn polishes. They are super gentle and smell divine - what's not to love?

2. I have been hooked on these little smooth spheres for over a year now so when I found the eos Limited Edition 3-pack lip balm collection inspired by Alice in Wonderland, I nearly jumped for joy! 95% organic and 100% natural and cute to boot - would make a great gift but I might have to keep these for myself this year.

3. It's official - Bond is back and sexier than ever but the O.P.I. Skyfall Collection - The Living Daylights takes the cake. A fantastic blend of blue, gold, silver, and bronze, this glitter fest is O.P.I. sleekest yet.

4. Having truly combination skin is much easier to manage with boscia Lavender Blotting Linens. A quick, gentle way to blot away the midday t-zone that calms the senses and gives peace of mind AND face.

5. At last we have come to the "star" of my video, CoverGirl LashBlast Clump Crusher Mascara

CoverGirl LashBlast Clump Crusher Mascara

In their October 2012 Best of Beauty issue, Allure did some early promoting as it was featured as one of the breakthrough products. I look forward to that issue every year so I immediately starting doing some research. The brush itself is designed with the size of the average clump in mind so that it would be able to comb it out. Brilliant, right? I had to try it ASAP!

The naked eye (no mascara)

I definitely see a difference and as I explained in the video, this is probably the best volumizing mascara I have tried for this price point. I HATE clumps and spidery looking lashes and have found Maybelline and L'oreal's formulas to do just that to my little lashes. CoverGirl has been my go to for a loooonnnngggg time and while I have tried every one of theirs that has come out in the last two years, I've remained fiercely loyal to Lash Blast Lengthening mascara because I never get clumps no matter how many coats I pile on.

3 coats of Clump Crusher back to back

But who's got time for that many coats? Clump Crusher delivers on its promise as long as you don't wait too long between coats. I did 3 fast ones in a row and you can see the results. (I really didn't pay attention to the bottom ones but I think the top looks fab!)

Now lashes are just like hair so what's good for the goose is not necessarily good for the gander. Try it out and let me know what you think!
