The eyes have it

Another beauty product review: Lash Stiletto.

Just like with my shampoo, I've been loyal to one specific mascara for quite some time now but I'm easily enticed by commercials. On a trip to the drug store to pick up unrelated items, I stood in front of the display of mascaras for minutes, picking up and putting down different ones. Ultimately I decided on the mascara with what I thought the better packaging, the best commercial, and its promise to make my lashes longer. I don't put a lot of faith in drug store cosmetics but I'm finding out now that I'm wrong not to. Maybellene's Last Stiletto does exactly as it promises. My lashes are longer with just one coat, but three makes them nearly as long as they are when I wear falsies.
It's mascara love.

Rapunzel, Rapunzel Let Down Your Hair

My hair's the longest it's been since kindergarden. It's hardly long enough to unfurl down a wall to have a prince come rescue me but soon enough!

Speaking of hair, I've been a loyal user of Nexxus products for quite some time now so I decided it was time to make a switch. After several minutes (closer to five to ten), I made my selection: John Frieda's new Root Awakening for Healthy Hair. I've been hooked since the first use. The smell is amazing, light and invigorating. Its lather is rich and dreamy. But most importantly, my hair is bouncy, shiny and touchably soft. My love for my hair has been renewed.
