Have a Feel-Good Holiday this Year
Posted by girlpaint | Filed under DIY (make your own!), face, gifts, holidays, self-improvement
Sleigh bells are ringing, snow is glistening, and you’re all about that walk through a winter wonderland. But along with the joy of these seasonal outdoor elements comes the stress of holiday shopping, party hopping and family gathering. We say, no need to be gloomy when there’s merriness to be found. Here, ways to relax and rejoice, while respecting the green (both the Earth and your loot).

As if L’Oreal doesn’t have enough mascaras (65+?!!!), they’re coming out with another. And this one is — in a word — different. Aptly named, L’Oreal’s latest lash amplifier is called Telescopic Explosion.

Best Concealer Ever is Actually Eye Shadow Primer? Yep.
Posted by girlpaint | Filed under anti-aging, concealer, eyelid, primer, skin care, wedding
I am LOVING Senna Cosmetics Totally Transforming Eye Shadow Primer. This anti-aging neutral cream eye shadow primer contains a potent vegetable ogliopeptide from natural hibiscus that functions in much the same way that Botox injections do, but without the pain and loss of facial expression! It not only helps firm and smooth the eyelid while minimizing lines and wrinkles, it’s THE perfect concealer.

Never Get the Wrong Foundation Color Again
Posted by girlpaint | Filed under anti-aging, concealer, face, foundation, makeup, perfect pores, skin care, sun care, wedding
I’ve tried a plethora of goodies from Senna, each of which I’ll be reviewing soon. But, first up is a Senna best-seller, Mineral Mix Cover & Finish Foundation. Mineral Mix marks the end of getting the wrong foundation color. How so? It contains a beautifully blend-able loose mineral powder foundation in the base along with a darker pressed mineral foundation powder in the lid. Simple and smart.

Less Wrinkles with 24-Hour Eye Repair
Posted by girlpaint | Filed under anti-aging, bargain, eyelid, skin care, sun care
Featuring another new product with a long name from L’Oreal: Revitalift Deep-Set Wrinkle Repair 24-Hour Eye Repair Duo. With such a serious(ly long) name, you’d expect serious(ly good) results along with a serious(ly expensive) price. Well, that’s about half true. The results? Good. I’ve been using Revalift’s new eye cream duo for about three to four weeks, and I can definitely see a visible lift to my upper eye lid. Plus the skin around my eyes is softer and more pliable.

Eyeing L’Oreal for Volume and Wear
Posted by girlpaint | Filed under bargain, cosmetics, mascara, wedding
L’Oreal Paris recently released *another* new mascara, this one called Extra Volume Collagen Mascara. It touts lush and luxurious lashes with hydra-collagen (?) for super-duper volume. A pretty, sleek black tube reveals the biggest, fattest mascara brush you’ve seen. Seriously. Thick.
Admittedly, I was skeptical. I had to see just what sort of super-duper volume we were talking about. Well, I was certainly not underwhelmed, but at the same time, I’m not sure it lives up to “12x more impact, instantly.”
