So then, what can this little baby do? Uhm… can you say multi-faceted? Yes, Fenty Beauty’s latest beauty drop can serve an artistic multi-purpose if you do choose. You see Island Bling’s dual-ended design allows for two different finishes (Mamacita/Tini Kini) instead of one.

On one end of the product you will find a dazzling metallic eye shimmer. This shimmer can create a sleek eye look with brilliant, eye-popping tone. However, if you want to take things up a notch all you have to do is flip the script as well as the product over!

Nevertheless, if you are as emotionally spent as so many others when it comes to foundation ; then there is some good news. There are new options on the way. Fenty Beauty is certainly leading the pack, but other luxury brands have also been working on some foundation solutions for the past couple of years. What’s on deck?

Beauty Insider: Marc Jacobs Beauty Shameless Foundation

Sounds promising. However, one thing really stuck out to us… what is snow mushroom? We asked around and our beauty expert friends as usual did not disappoint!

Okay, we are not going to sugar coat this at all. We’re just going to level with you, snow mushroom is basically fungus. Now the idea of placing fungi on your face may not be appealing, but after learning the benefits you might reconsider. A few benefits include:

Benefit Mascara- EVERYTHING You Want to Know About Roller Lash & They’re Real!

 

Benefit Mascara

SHOW ME THE LASHES! They’re beauty cult favorites and they should be in your makeup bags pronto! If achieving ad campaign level eyelashes using your own natural strands is what you seek; then these two products will easily help get you there. Benefit Mascara is specially formulated to curl and lengthen better than anything else on the market. Therefore, read on to see why Benefit Cosmetics Roller Lash and They’re Real continue to reign supreme!

Benefit Mascara- EVERYTHING You Want to Know About Roller Lash & They’re Real

Benefit Mascara

If you build it, they will come! The beauty products that outlast all their competition are the ones that are not designed haphazardly; but made to do their job and well every single time. For instance, They’re Real became a hit thanks to its ability to give consumers the vibe of falsies.

As a result, if you have ever tried to apply a pair of falsies it may have felt like you are defusing a bomb. Cut the wrong amount of lashes off the strip, apply too much glue or fail to control shaky hands and the end result could be disastrous. Therefore, most makeup lovers appreciate a much easier approach to beauty.

Benefit Mascara

That’s one of the reasons Benefit They’re Real Mascara has such appeal. It’s literally lash enhancement in a bottle. One product, one step. Other details of this mascara are:

  • Custom Designed Brush.
  • Lash Volume.
  • Gorgeous Definition.
  • Long-Wearing Formula.
  • Eyelash Separation.
  • Lift, Curl and Lengthen Lashes.

Benefit Mascara- EVERYTHING You Want to Know About Roller Lash

Benefit Mascara

Maybe she’s born with it, maybe it’s just one heck of a mascara. Seriously though, if we all woke up with natural, perfectly curled lashes the beauty industry would cease to exist. Nevertheless, since a lot of us did not “wake up like this” a little help in the lash department is all we do need.

Enter Benefit’s Roller Lash mascara. Quick question… have you ever rolled your hair? If yes, then you probably noticed and enjoyed the resulting curly, bouncy ringlets. Furthermore, that is exactly where this product draws its inspiration from, hair rollers.

So then, if you have ever wished you could just take a minature roller to those eyelash strands, now you can! Roller Lash is formulated to basically grab those lashes and curl them up to the sky.

  • Curve Setting Formula
  • Long-Lasting Wear (Up to 12 Hours).
  • Eyelash Separation.
  • Water Resistent.
  • Olive Oil, Emollient-Rich Mascara.
  • Provides Lift to Lashes.
  • Dramatic Volume as well as Definition.
  • Easy Removal.

Benefit Mascara-Easily Accessible

Benefit Mascara

There is nothing worse than finding that product with the Midas Touch and it is nowhere to be found! With Benefit Mascara you never have to worry about that type of beauty stress. You can purchase their mascara from a wide host of retailers.

To make it easy for you can buy Roller Lash and They’re Real by clicking on those provided links. Or check out the following list of other fabulous stores, they carry them too. They include:

  • Macy’s
  • HSN
  • Ulta Beauty
  • Sephora
  • Nordstrom

Benefit Mascara- Ah Wiggle Wiggle Wiggle Wiggle Wiggle Wiggle

Benefit Mascara

Did this section’s subheading get you moving in your chair a little? Well, this next tip just might! The simplest way to give your eyes a mascara look that is out of this world is by doing one single thing… wiggling the wand.

Huh? Yes, a little wiggle action while brushing your lashes with mascara will give you a bolder, dramatic look. Just a few of the benefits of wiggling are:

  • Creating more lift in your eyelashes.
  • Increased eyelash separation.
  • More intense lash definition.

Benefit Mascara-Step Up Your Application Game

Benefit Mascara

Yes, these products are absolutely amazing but if you could give your eyes even more of a boost, would you? Of course! Therefore, before applying even a lick of Roller Lash or They’re Real mascara be sure to curl those lashes. Here’s how to do it like the pros:

If you really want to curl like a master think of it as a three part process. You are going to be working your eyelashes from the root, middle as well as at the ends. Also, don’t just pump a few times and move on. That’s like stepping on a Stairmaster Machine for 10 steps, hopping off and expecting your bottom to resemble Beyonce’s. It’s just not happening!

So then, what should be done? Well, in each position (roots, middle, the ends) hold the curler in that place for 10 seconds before moving on. The entire application should go as follows.

  1. Place eyelash curler at the base or bottom of your lash line. Gently clamp down on your lashes. Hold for 10 seconds.
  2. Move on to the mid-lash region. Once again gently clamp down on the lashes using the eyelash curler. Hold this position for 10 seconds.
  3. Lastly, curl the ends of your lashes. Gently clamp the curler on this section and hold for 10 seconds. Repeat on the other eye and you are all done!

Benefit Mascara- Reviews

Benefit Mascara

Whenever you desire to try out a new product you should ALWAYS check out reviews first. This will help you learn firsthand knowledge right from other consumers just like you. Also, you will be able to save your coins if in fact a product is a no-go and just no good. With that being said here are real reviews regarding Roller Lash and They’re Real. We went through thousands of them and they were all extremely positive. However, the following are a few of the ones we felt were the most insightful.

“This is not my first time using They’re Real, but first time I have written a review. Good coverage, lashes definitely look longer and thicker. They do not look spiky and do not flake. I am on auto ship and will not be left without. Thank you.” (5 Stars).

-They’re Real Mascara User

“I didn’t think this would live up to the hype. It works really well on making my eyelashes curly and defined. I have new post chemo eyelashes, and don’t want to have to break them with a lash curler. So, this works really well.” (5 Stars)

-Roller Lash Mascara User

“One of my FAV PRODUCTS FROM Benefit. I get so many compliments when I wear this mascara. Some people think they are false eyelashes. Now I do have nice lashes for a young lady. But this mascara really really gives them the best ever looking lashes I’ve ever had!!!!” (5 Stars)

-They’re Real Mascara User

“I was given a sample of this and fell in LOVE!!! It works wonders on my short lashes. Yes, it is sticky, and yes you do need to wash it off each evening but it does lengthen and thicken your lashes. I just wish I could find it in a deep brown. I LOVE this mascara.” (5 Stars).

-Roller Lash Mascara User

Benefit Mascara- Reviews (Cont.)

Benefit Mascara

“Goes on smooth, you can apply several layers of color and it does not clump. I also like the full coverage, starting at the base of the lashes and pulling outward. The color goes where you want it.” (5 Stars)

-They’re Real Mascara User

“I have tried an insane amount of mascara throughout the years and have never found anything that I couldn’t live without. There are mascara that I liked but I was on a mission to find the best of the best. You know, fake lashes with having to apply fake lashes.

So the girls at Ulta talked me into buying the most expensive mascara in the store. I didn’t expect much but I was NOT disappointed. I love this stuff!!!! The brush is a hook design and grabs lashes individually to separate. Also, it applies smoothly, doesn’t clump, curls and extends lashes.

It has conditioners in it, lasts all day and doesn’t flake or smudge. It doesn’t make lashes rock hard either. They actually stay soft! This has never happened to me before. Absolutely amazing and worth the investment!” (5 Stars)

Primer Makeup- Can I Skip This Step to Save Some Time?

Primer Makeup- Can I Skip This Step to Save Some Time
                                                    Cosmetics Photography by Island Boi Photogtaphy

When it comes to getting ready for school or work, sometimes time can be of the essence. We have one leg in our boot cut jeans, one arm hanging out of our crop top sweater and one free hand desperately applying layers of mascara. So then, as any busy girl can attest to, doing only what is truly necessary can really be the key to staying on top of a busy schedule. Therefore, when it comes to applying makeup, is primer makeup one of those things that can be skipped in order to save a few precious seconds? Girl, no! Allow us to answer this beauty question, by presenting some pretty compelling reasons why this vital step should never be ignored!

Primer Makeup- Can I Skip This Step to Save Some Time?

Primer Makeup- Can I Skip This Step to Save Some Time

Let’s just be clear about one thing, primer is utilized for more than just the reason you think it is formulated to be used for when applied. For instance, most know that primer makeup is an excellent product to help create a very smooth canvas for your make up. Think of it like building a house. You don’t just build a house on un-level ground and hope that it will last and hold up. No, you level everything out so that it’s nice and smooth and then you build upon that. Confident that not only the house can now be built correctly, but it will also last for a very long time.

That is thrust as well as one of the benefits of using a primer. You are giving your make up a smooth base to be built upon. Plus, you’re also giving your make up what it needs to last longer as well as stay put.

Primer Makeup- The Common But Majorly Overlooked Benefit

Primer Makeup- Can I Skip This Step to Save Some Time

Nevertheless, what is one of the other benefits of using primer make up that often gets overlooked? Here it is: it is great for your personal skincare routine. How so?

Primer has the ability to not only moisturize skin, but it can also create a protective barrier over the skin. The hydration part can be pretty self-explanatory due to the moisturizing ingredients found in most primers; however, you may be wondering just exactly how primer can provide protection?

Well, it accomplishes this by sealing in any skincare treatment products you may use during your daily skincare routine. This includes any moisturizer or sunscreen you may have previously applied, and yes us melanin girls need sunscreen too. However, more on that in our upcoming feature on the super cool product, Black Girl Sunscreen.

Primer Makeup- It Is Time to Choose, But How?

Primer Makeup- Can I Skip This Step to Save Some Time

Nonetheless, now that you know why primer make up is awesome for not only cosmetics but for skincare products, you need to know which ones will work best for you. The best way to pick the right one is to choose a primer that works for your own skin type. You may need to ask yourself: Is my skin dry? Does my skin tend to be oily? Or perhaps, can my skin use a little help in order to have a more even tone?

After a little self reflection about your skin, you are now ready to pick a primer makeup product. Here are a few quick tips to keep in mind:

The Oily Skin Girl: Always look for a mattifying primer. These types of primers are your friend because it helps to keep any extra shine at bay. You may also choose to use a setting spray for even more shine control.
