Pacifica Dream Big Lash Extending Mascara Review

March 14, 2016

Pacifica Dream Big Mascara

I think Pacifica makes great fragrances for the money. For years I’ve been using their perfumes and bath/body products. They have expanded the brand over the years to include cruelty-free cosmetics and facial skincare. I haven’t tried their makeup until now!

Pacifica’s most recent mascara launch is Dream Big Lash Extending Mascara.

The Claims: Pacifica is calling this a “7-in-1” mascara: lash serum, length, lift, volume, conditioning, rich color and 2-in-1 brush. It volumizes with plant fibers and conditions with a peptide… Continue reading | 6 Comments

I’ve also had numerous dermatologists recommend that I use CeraVe products for every skin problem that I’ve ever had (dryness, eczema, acne).

Hydroxatone Anti-Aging BB Cream SPF 40 Review

September 23, 2013

Hydroxatone BB Cream

I’ve been very skeptical about this entire “BB Cream” thing. I viewed it as a glorified tinted moisturizer…and tinted moisturizer is just some pigment mixed into your moisturizer. BB Creams claim to also be a concealer and sometimes they claim to be a makeup base. One thing I’ve learned about BB Creams is that they claim to do it all. This makes a skeptical person like myself very suspicious.

The Lipstick League – week of 5.20.13

Question of the Week – Before we officially head into Summer 2013, tell us: What was your favorite new beauty product of Spring 2013, and why?

EauMG’s Answer – I really haven’t kept up with new launches. None of the makeup has really caught my attention. I do like the LE Mugler Angel Aqua Chic. 

Nouveau Cheap – The semi-annual CVS Beauty Clearance Sale is officially underway, with many cosmetics reduced to 50% or 75% off… Continue reading
