Scary But True.


Tweezerman ILashcomb™ is quite possibly one of the scariest beauty tools I have seen in all my beautiFULL life, but amongst the most effective at de-clumping and separating eyelashes. It’s true. Tweezerman ILashcomb™ is a fabulous tool for both gently and effectively creating gorgeous lashes. The business end of the Tweezerman ILashcomb™ looks like it could really do someone a mischief. The gold plated teeth effortlessly glide through your curled (of course) then mascara-ed lashes like it’s nobody’s business, removing any clumpy bits of mascara all the while liberating each lash from the next. Do be sure to comb away from your eye. Ideally, you’ll comb with your eye open, but if you’re feeling a little unsteady of hand, feel free to comb your lashes with your eye lightly closed. Another nifty bonus with this beauty tool, is that it makes ALL mascaras look good: from the cheap and cheerful to the high end extravaganzas. *whispers* In fact, after using the Tweezerman ILashcomb™ it’s darn near impossible to distinguish which mascara is top shelf and which is not. The teeth of the Tweezerman ILashcomb™ fold compactly away into the handle for protection (both it’s and yours, I suspect). I clean mine between uses by gently wiping the teeth with an alcohol swab. Tweezerman ILashcomb™ doesn’t take well to being submerged in liquids either. Liquid seems to shorten it’s life-span tremendously. I know this because I’m onto my second Tweezerman ILashcomb™ for this very reason. Doh! Check out Tweezerman or Dateline Imports for your nearest stockist.

Just one of those days…

 Benefit Blue Mascara
Does it look like this is going to be one of those days where one wakes up completely blank of makeup ideas that are sure to be a fresh departure from the norm? Yep, one of those days where one is sat in front of the vanity looking at one of the most beautiful canvases in the world and absolutely nothing inspirational comes back. What on earth am I going to do with this face today, did you say? We all know how easy it is just to curl those lashes, do a few quick coats of mascara, a swipe of blush on the apples, and a couple of slicks of gloss and away we go. Too easy? Yes, too temptingly easy and possibly a bit of a sign that you’re heading down the road to “Rutsville”. You know the place.

What about coloured mascara? No, I’m not talking poison apple green or fuchsia, but an alluring eggplant, burgundy, deep violet, or navy, perhaps? Richly pigmented, quality coloured mascaras can add that subtle point of difference to your makeup look that gives extraordinary appeal and beguiling mystique.

Coloured mascaras add that certain “je ne sais quoi”. Not quite up to that “I don’t know what” factor? How about wearing your regular mascara and simply place a wee twinkle of coloured mascara on the tips of your curled lashes. Nice. Then, you can save wearing coloured mascaras neat for days when you’re feeling ready to make your move. In the meantime, enjoy this gorgeous point of difference, that could, quite possibly, make your day.
