The MUST Mascara-CoverGirl Lashblast Volume Blasting Mascara

If you are like me then you are invariably looking for the BEST mascera that does the  BEST job for the BEST price.  At modeling gigs I'm consistently inspecting make-up artist's bags to see which products they love and carry to each job they are called to do.  One mascara I see in EVERY bag is the CoverGirl Lashblast Volume Blasting Mascara. It gives the look of dramatic eyelashes in just one coat. What you will find is that you do not have to use multiple layers to get the volume you want. An added bonus, it removes easily with soap and water. Contact lens wearers (like me) will love that it’s hypoallergenic too.  You can find it for about $8 at your local drugstore or big box retailer.

Mineral Oil Can Wreak Havoc on a Spray Tan

Have you ever gotten a spray tan and then you notice a couple of days later that it looks cracked and broken?  It's uneven and looks like a patch of earth that hasn't gotten water in weeks, maybe even months.  You are moisturizing your skin, so you can't figure out what the deal is.  It's MINERAL OIL!!  It will wreak havoc on your pretty spray tan or sunless tanner.  The SOLUTION is to use a mositurizer like Curel  or Aveeno that doesn't have mineral oil.  My favorite is the Curel lotion.  It's light, not greesy, moisturizes the skin and has a has a wonderful  fresh sent.  The Curel lotion ranges in price from $3-$7 depending on size, and the Aveeno is $4-$8 depending on size as well.  The best part is that you can find both at your local drugstore or big box store like Wal-Mart or Target.
