Buxom Amplified Mascara. BEST MASCARA EVER!

I am always on the search for a good mascara because my lashes are short and I dont have many to work with. Since Ive been working at sephora now Ive purchased 3, Ive already purchased a ton before I started working and this is by far the best. Buxom Amplified Mascara. I learned doing this that my camera doesnt take good close up shots but you get the gist of it. I look like I have no eye lashes without mascara and with this mascara I suddenly have awesome lashes. The top of the mascara bottle has a little twist thing that you turn and it lengthens the wand, you turn it the other way and it shortens it. Its supposed to add definition when shorter and length when longer. I always just use it lengthened on top and shortened for lower lashes. Its amazing.



mascara is only on the top left lashes

no mascara sorry its blurry horrible camera :/

mascara is on top left lashes only

mascara is on both sides top and bottom lashes

Mascara is on top and bottom

A few amazing (and not so amazing) discoveries since Ive began working at Sephora...

one... Kat Von D foundation is amazing for women of color.
two.....benefit they're real mascara is def a good one.
three....makeup forever HD foundation is horrible. as well as the MUFE primer....my face looked a hotmess...I have yellow based super oily skin.
four....Nars Sheer Matte has to be my all time favorite foundation. hands down.
five....I highly advise you don't put testers on your face in stores......you have no idea how many ppl come through and use them straight out of the bottle, from mascara to lipgloss to creams etc...
six.....although I do love the brands Sephora sells.... I do not like sephora brand brushes....
seven....Urban Decay remains my favorite eyeshadows...
eight....Too Faced lip injection is def more potent than Buxom plumping glosses. I literally watched a girl try one on her top lip and the other on her bottom and her top looked like she had lip injections a few min later. It was crazy.
nine........UD 24/7 liquid liner is no joke! I put some on my hand showing a client the color, and literally HOURS later and tons of hand washes and sanitizing and that line was still on my hand! Its crazy! The applicator brush sucks but its contents are no joke.

ten...if you wear cover fx its 25 percent off in the stores because its getting new packaging so nows the time to buy it up if thats your brand.

My Current Fave Beauty Products

I have a for sure love for beauty products. I am always browsing through sephora, makeup counters, and drug stores. Even if I've seen it all a million times before I never get tired of seeing it all. Lately these are the items that I have been grabbing the most.





In no particular order:
Josie Maran Argan Oil
Elf eyebrow powder
Nars Danmari Palette
Nars Casino Bronzer
Urban Decay Naked Palette
Urban Decay Smoked Palette
Urban Decay All Nighter Spray
MAC Pro Longwear Foundation NC 42
Benefit Erase Paste Med 2
Smashbox Photo Finish Primer
Loreal Lineur Intense liquid liner
London Soho beauty sponge which is amazing and only 8 as compared to the beauty blender
Makeup Forever Hd Concealer
Makeup Forever lip liner that I use as an all over over color and its amazing a little drying but stays all day. 
MAC paint pot in painterly 
Buxom Mascara which is pretty awesome
Philosophy lotions in  mangos and cream and cabana girl. 

As for the lotions I am in awe... I had never used philosophy lotions till these really and they are so moisturizing. I started using the cabana girl when I was about 8 months pregnant and my skin felt so soft and moisturized even the next morning. The smell is good and not too strong but just enough and they have pretty good ingredients. I didnt see any mineral oils in them. Which for me is a big plus.

Ive been using all of these things for a little while now and Ive actually used them more than I have just about anything else Ive bought. I usually use something a couple times and Im over it, but these have been my go to products regularly now. I def think they are all worth checking out.
