Enhance Your Lashes with Eddie Funkhouser Quatro Variable Lash Mascara


I'm a complete mascara junkie.  I've tried them all and wear a coat or two of several different brands every day.  About seven months ago I finally committed to trying eye lash extensions and have since been addicted and cannot imagine how I ever made it through life without them!  Being the mascara lover that I am, I still coat my faux lashes with mascara each morning.  A lot of my old favorite brands didn't agree with my lash extensions either making them look like a clumpy mess or like spider legs, but Eddie Funkhouser Quatro Variable Lash Mascara works perfectly to keep my lush lashes looking naturally long and full.  With FX Dial Settings, Quatro Variable Lash Mascara gives you four different lash enhancing options:

  • Enhance and accentuate lashes while leaving them looking natural (My favorite)
  • Separate lashes creating fullness and volume
  • Separate lashes for EXTRA fullness and volume
  • Create maximum length, separation and definition

Where can you get this awesome 4-in-1 mascara?  At Rite-Aid stores nationwide coming this fall!  If you can't wait til then you can also get your mascara fix at EddieFunkhouser.com

Eddie Funkhouser's cosmetic line also includes (to name a handful) Luxlight Hydrating Primer, Revitalizing Foundation, Illuminator, Luminous Powder, 16 Hour 4-Way Liquid Concealer, Micromineral Foundation Powder, and Eye Gloss.

This is one to watch for!

New Obsession: IT Cosmetics by Jamie Kern


Have you heard of IT Cosmetics yet?  If you haven't, you need to check it out immediately!  Until a few weeks ago I was fairly unfamiliar with the brand.  I'd seen it on the pages of Allure, Lucky and Marie Claire magazines, but hadn't had the chance to use any of the products myself.  My first test drive of IT Cosmetics was so fabulous I'll forever be a user!

My absolute, hands down, favorite thing on earth right now is IT Cosmetics Vitality Flush Anti-Aging Color Reviver Stain in Je Ne Sais Quoi. (pictured below)  It can be used on your lips for a unique-to-your skin tone lip color and on your cheeks for that same unique-to-you color!  It contains plum oil, cherry oil, shea butter, argan and jojoba plus vitamins A, C and E, green and white tea and aloe!  Super moisturizing!  You won't see the color until it's applied on your skin or lips but on my skin it turned the perfect, light pink!  I love it!



I'm also loving IT Cosmetics IT-O2 Ultra Repair Liquid Oxygen Foundation.  With Peptides, hyaluronic acid, niacin, hydrolyzed collagen and vitamins A, C and E, it's like a facial in a bottle...in a foundation!  This amazing foundation gave my skin a perfectly flawless appearance when I used only a tiny bit!  It's designed to deliver powerful oxygen to your skin, which aids in skin regeneration, repair and key ingredient absorption.  It's been clinically proven to increase skin barrier repair and clinically proven to increase skin hydration over 71% after just one application!  I applied the IT-02 Ultra Repair Liquid Oxygen Foundation with the IT Hydra Sponge for an airbrushed to perfection look!  I used a little warm water to dampen the sponge, squeezed out the excess water and the Hydra Sponge blended everything, including concealer into my skin effortlessly!

Hello Light Anti-Aging Radiance Illuminating Powder (pictured below) with Hydrolyzed Collagen, Peptides and Drops of Light Technology is another must have for your make up collection.  This illuminating powder absorbs oil and shine while blurring away the look of pores and fine lines without settling into wrinkles..thank goodness! I tend to avoid illuminators because they contain sparkle and glitter that settles into my fine lines and makes me look much older than I really am, but Hello Light doesn't have any glitter or sparkle!  Used with the Heavenly Luxe Angled Radiance Brush, application has never been so simple!



The last couple of things I should mention are Vitality Cheek Flush in Pretty in Peony and Tightline Full Lash Length Black Primer.  Both are now permanent staples in my make up routine.  Tightline Full Lash Length Black Primer can be worn alone or you can add mascara over the top for an even more dramatic effect.  I found that just using Tightline Full Lash alone was enough for day to day wear!  Vitality Cheek Flush is a powder blush stain, something totally new to the world of blush.  It not only stains cheeks for all day wear, but it's also enriched with anti-aging powerhouse ingredients!  It's waterproof (great for summer) and is talc-free so it won't cling to fine lines or wrinkles...yay again!

Expect the Best & See Results with RevitaLash!



About six weeks ago I was invited to to to try out some amazing products by RevitaLash.  Of course, I'd heard of the product but was curious to see if it really worked.  I'd heard that another eyelash enhancing product out there actually turns your eyes a different color so when I found out RevitaLash would NOT do that, I was ready!

I've been using the RevitaLash Advanced Eyelash Conditioner religiously for the last six weeks, and wow, does it work!  It's super easy to apply. With it's sleek and no-fuss applicator, I brushed RevitaLash Advanced on my top lash line (can also be used on your bottom lashes!) after I washed my face before bed each night.  It took about three weeks before I saw results, but at that three week mark, the results were pretty dramatic. 

Here is a before picture:


 
And after eight weeks of use:

 
 
 
And that's just one coat of mascara! AND they continue to grow each week!  I'm addicted to this stuff!  Another RevitaLash Advanced product that does what it promises is RevitaBrow Advanced.  What RevitaLash does for your lashes, RevitaBrow does for, you guessed it, your brows!  Since I'm not skimping in the eyebrow department I gave RevitaBrow to my mother to try since she seems to think she only has "six eyebrow hairs" on one of her brows.  She's been using RevitaBrow on the "six-hair eyebrow" for over a month and you can really see the difference!  She noticed more hair growth on the brow within the first couple of weeks!
 
 
RevitaLash has also introduced to their brand, a line of products that will hook you the first time you try them.  RevitaLash Fineline Primer is perfection.  It instantly smooths the skins surface and minimizes the appearance of shadows, imperfections, fine lines and wrinkles on the surface of your skin.  I started using the Fineline Primer in the crows-feet area around my eyes but after I saw how much of a difference it made, I started using it all over my face!

 Since I'm somewhat of a mascara-junkie, I couldn't wait to try the new RevitaLash Volumizing Mascara and Volumizing Primer.  First off, the Volumizing Primer is dark blue, instead of the normal white that every other eye lash primer is.  That alone impressed me!  Who wants to coat their lashes in white residue before adding mascara?  The dark blue Volumizing Primer swept on my lashes with no clumps and instantly made my eyelashes look even longer.  The Volumizing Mascara went over the primer smoothly and really made my eyes pop.  RevitaLash Volumizing Mascara is super black, the blackest on the market (really) and perfectly separated my lashes, lengthening and creating volume.

Another favorite of mine is eyeliner, so RevitaLash Raven 12 Hour Eyeliner was going to be put to the test!  A creme eye liner in a mechanical pencil type wand, this eyeliner was easy to apply and went on smooth.  RevitaLash Raven is completely smudge proof and won't rub until you're taking your make up off at the end of the day!  It really is 12 hour eyeliner!

RevitaLash Spotlight Highlighting Pencil and Hair Advanced are two more RevitaLash products that are worth mentioning here.  The Spotlight Highlighting Pencil gives your brow bone a subtle and youthful lift, can be used in the inner corner of your eye to decrease darkness and bring your eyes forward, between the lash line and brow as a base or shadow, applied to cheek bones to give a red-carpet glow and can even be used in the center of your bottom lip to create a full, pouty lip.  It's natural shade is perfect for all skin tones and has 12 hour staying power!

Hair Advanced by RevitaLash is perfect for any guy or gal who feels they need a little thickening to their locks.  Applied after you've washed and towel dried your hair, Hair Advanced applies like a mousse and is worn in your hair all day.  After just four weeks of daily application, Hair Advanced enhances the appearance of thin and fragile looking hair.
