Revlon PhotoReady 3D Volume Mascara, Black ($8.99)

 

I am absolutely loving this mascara.  The brush defines my lashes adding volume and length without ever smudging.  And, although I love the iconic Diorshow mascara, I find their brush a little hard to work with.  This brush is great, with a rounded edge for the inner lashes, allowing me to apply as many layers as I want without clumping or getting all over  my lids.  It's definitely worth trying at $8.99.

Why don't you...whip up a face mask.

I got this mask from Martha Stewart's magazine.  The recipe comes from Elena Arboleda, salon director at Mario Badescu Skin Care.  I have done it a couple times and love the soft, brightening effect it has on my skin.  Egg white's high protein content and Lysozyme enzyme help tighten pores and hide wrinkles giving skin a smoother look.  Honey is a natural moisturizer that attracts water into the skin.  Olive oil is rich in antioxidants and vitamins making it highly effective at neutralizing damaging free radicals and delaying the signs of aging.  Lemon juice contains enzymes which help exfoliate and tone skin.

Whisk together:
1 egg white
1 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Smooth on a thin layer from the hairline down to the decolletage and let sit 15 minutes.  Wash away with cool water, pat dry and apply your favorite moisturizer.  Easy.
