Lancôme’s Définicils Precious Cells Mascara: My Review

Hello Divas!

I hope your life is filled with love and beauty.

As you know, I am having a contest on Luxetips.com giving away a tube of Lancôme’s Définicils Precious Cells Mascara.  Lancôme sent me out of tube to try and the following is my review:

I have been using the Mascara for almost a week and overall I am pleased.  Définicils Precious Cells reminds me of a more creamier version of the original Définicils.  It gives crazy length, but I did not see as much volume as it claims.  If you want unbelievable volume, stick with Hypnose.  The helix-shaped brush is super cool.  It allowed me to coat every lash..even the tiny inner corner lashes.  I loved that.  Notably, the Mascara does not run.  At the end of the day, even in the stifling humid heat, the Mascara stayed in place and did not cause black eyes...running Mascra. LOL!  But I believe the best feature of Définicils Precious Cells is that my lashes are soft and flexible and not hard.  The creamy formula infused with nourishing apple lysate, definitely kept my lashes conditioned and nourished.  I guess the soft and flexibility of the Mascara is what reduces lash lost as Lancôme claims.  As I stated before, skincare for the lashes! Nice.

I am going continue to use Définicils Precious Cells instead of my original Définicils.  I am really enjoying the slight change.

Remember you can purchase Définicils Precious Cells exclusively at Nordstroms.  It retails for $29.  Or if you like enter here to win a free tube to try.

Taraji P. Henson wears Lancome at the BET Awards!

Hello Divas!

Regardless of what state you are in, you can always turn it around! Yep!

Well I did watch the BET Awards on Sunday night.  Some of the performances were phenomenal while others were lack luster.  You know I just wish they would make the artist do the clean version instead of bleeping out the entire song.  But I really wanted to see the fashions and make-up.  Notable looks: Monica's make-up was INSANE! Flawless! I loved Lauren London's hair color and Taraji P. Henson looked AMAZING!  I loved her hair, make-up, and her silver dress.  However, I did not know until yesterday that a host of Lancome products were used to create her stunning look.  You know I love Lancome, so it was a pleasant surprise.  Taraji and I are about the same brown shade, so you know I have to copy this look!

Lancome Products used were:

Color Fever Gloss in Delirium, a nice pretty pink shimmer
Color Design Lipsick in Natural Beauty and Color Fever Gloss in Inferno (BET Afterparty)

Lancome Defincils Mascara in Deep Black (Red Carpet)
Lancome Hynose Drama Mascara in Excessive Black (After Party)

Ladies if you have not tried Hynose, it is a must! Big dramatic and curvy lashes!

Toodles!

Sephora Beauty Event Recap! LORAC, NARS, and More

Hello Divas!

How is life? I hope wonderful! It is so beautiful in Atlanta! I am so thankful for great weather!

This past Saturday I ventured to Sephora for their Beauty Pampering Event.  It was so much fun.  There was a live DJ and major beauty brands were set up to showcase their latest and greatest!  Fab MUAs were giving complimentary makeovers and there was also skin consultations.

I must admit I have never used any LORAC products but after Saturday, I am converted! Fabulous.  This skin illuminizer is INSANE on brown girls. Trust me on this one.  It is a sheer peach bronze liquid with beautiful shimmer.  The MUA applied it underneath the eye and on the tops of cheeks and the brown girls were looking like beach bronze queens. Loved it! This product is perfect for Summer.

I was also impressed with NARS Taos blush.  Now I have tons of NARS blush, but I have never tried Taos. Gorgeous on brown skin!

I also won a prize! Whoohoo!  I won a LORAC Co-stars lip color with high shine gloss in French Kiss, Make Up Forever Aqua Smoky Lash Mascara, and a  Temptu ReTouch Powder.  This  powder comes with an all in one brush and you simply press a button and the powder is majically dispensed through the brush onto your face.  I love all in ones!

It was a fab event and I can't wait to share my reviews of the products!

Toodles!
