attention! you NEED this mascara.

hiya dollfaces! so my mac has officially debuted the newest addition to their mascara lineup and it's called OPULASH! doesn't that just sound fabulous?! i feel priveledged because it's not supposed to hit counters until may 27th... but through a twist of fate and a nordstrom exclusive it is mine...

the word on the street, about this baby, is that it rivals dior show mascara... unfortunately, i can't justify spending $25+ on mascara so i wouldn't know, but when mac offers me an alternative i would be stupid to not take them up on it. naturally i HAD to have it!

here's what mac has to say about the product:

"Big, fat, full, bouffant lashes! Dramatic density and curl achieved with a giant brush! Fibers go in all directions for thick, rich, even application with no clumping. Long-wearing formula—up to 15 hours—quickly thickens lashes root to tip."

here is the beauty

the short is i LOVE this product! it is volumizing (as you will see in the following pics). it goes on thin, but is very buildable without looking clumpy! the pics below are with 1 (yes i said one) coat and a little curl with my shu uemora curler! the best part of this mascara is it does not flake!!! i find, with many of my mascaras, after 8 hours of wear i begin to find flakes on my cheeks and under my eyes. a definite deal breaker for me... but that is not the case with this gem. admittedly, i am a mascara person and i definitely think this is my new HG.
check out the pics and marvel at the difference between my naked lashes and my opulashes!!


amazing right?

i'm having a contest with a tube of opulash as the prize! read all about it HERE and don't forget to enter... either on this post or that one. good luck!

sephora seattle haulage...

cheers dolls! i'm back from seattle and had a blast with the bestie and her boys! on sunday i was able to steal her away for some funzo time downtown. after a couple emerald drops and rose petal martinis at the W hotel we scuttled over to sephora and let the shopping commence... i got a few things that i have been wanting to try out. first up...

buxom lashliner in suede (dark brown)... i have searched high and low for this in suede and finally found it in the emerald city. i am so excited to try it as it promises lash enhancing and conditioning. i have begun using it and will have a full review after i have used it for a month or so. p.s. used it today and the color is fantastic.

sephora base zero brillance anti-shine primer... i read about this on another blog or heard about it on youtube, but for the life of me i can't remember who i heard it from. BLAST! however, i figured i would try it because my skin tends to get oily mid-day and that particular shine really irritates me. so far i've used it twice and am very impressed. i suppose i will be doing a full review on this too. i will give it a few weeks as i need to see if i break out from it. - please no!-

upon entering sephora i knew i wanted a corally lipgloss, but didn't want it to be overpowering. i swatched buxom babes lacey gloss and immediately loved the color. then on closer inspection i saw that it was part of a duo with pixie (a gorgeous light pink) and i was sold. together the duo is $18. i love buying things in smaller sizes like this because i think lipgloss can get to be unhygenic after numerous uses. this way you can use them up and move onto something new. the super bonus with this is they are part of their big and healthy line which promises a fuller lip upon application. i'm not sure about that, but it has amazing dazzle factor and it does make my lips feel minty and tingly (and not cinnamon/burnt ala lip venom)... and super bonus 2... the glosses smell like cotton candy!

last, but not least was a travel size of too faced lash injection. i'm going to let you in on a little secret... i'm obsessed with mascara!! i'm am always on a quest for my perfect one... i picked this up to try it. i am planning a big mascara post so stay tuned. i've used this twice and am very pleased so far.

that's all for now dolls! hope your week is great thus far!
