Prescriptives Makes The Best Mascara Ever

December 17, 2012 | By Marissa Gold

You’ll be hearing even more about our love for Prescriptives before the holidays are over, but today’s topic is a timely one: Lashes.

Prescriptives makes some of the most amazing mascaras around — just look at the perfect 5-star reviews on their website.

Here’s the secret combo that’s guaranteed to result in amazing eyelashes: Start with the Lash Builder basecoat to condition and protect lashes while adding volume and length. Then, after it dries, add a coat of Lash Envy Volumizing Mascara for the darkest, thickest lashes you could ever want. Or, opt for one of our personal favorites, the False Eyelashes Plush Mascara for really long, fluttery lashes.

You really can’t go wrong. Now go treat yourself to something!

This Just In: News in the Mascara World

July 23, 2012 | By Spa Week Daily

By Marissa Gold

LUCKY magazine’s Beauty Director Jean Godfrey-June raved about Origins GinZing Brightening Mascara (out next month) in her August issue, creating a mild frenzy for the not-yet-released product. But if you can be a little patient, you can use code LUCKY to get free shipping when you order it next month on Origins’ website.

We’ve all been so focused on the benefits of a beauty product that we overlooked some not-so-great ingredients once or twice. But when it comes to certain products (things you may inhale, like powder or sprays, or anything that goes on your mouth or eyes, for example) extra vigilance is important. If you agree, or if you just have sensitive eyes, you’ll Love LUSH Eyes Right Mascara, which proudly contains just one preservative (apparently most products contain 4-6) and contains lash-conditioning vitamins and minerals. If you haven’t tried it (or the rest of LUSH’s amazing products for that matter) head to a store near you. And don’t forget to check out the rest of their new color cosmetics line, Emotional Brilliance, which launches today.
