Physicians Formula Sexy Booster Va Va Voom Volume Mascara

Hello All,

In case you don't remember, I am a Style Ambassador for Harper's Bazaar magazine.  As a Style Ambassador, not only do I get the opportunity to attend major events and test new products.  I have tested the Olay Regenerist Luminist Tone Perfecting Cream, and now I get to test the Physicians Formula Sexy Booster Va Va Voom Volume Mascara (that's a lot to say).

The mascara came yesterday (5/13/14) and this is how it is packaged:

 
When I take a product out of its package, I immediately start inspecting it.  This is how it looks outside of its packaging:
 
I like the heel pendant

LOVE the bristles!
 
 I start using the mascara right away, and I fell in love with it.

without makeup
 
 
I have never really been a fan of mascara.  I started wearing it almost regularly a couple of years ago, and the mascara that I would usually choose is either Meet Mark or New York Color.  The Sexy Booster Va Va Volume Mascara is my new favorite mascara.  Although I have only been using this mascara for a day, it is my favorite for the following reasons:
  • It smells like vanilla.  I have never had mascara that smelled so delicious!
  • The bristles glide on very easily
  • This mascara is clump free!!
  • Whether you are wearing makeup or not, this mascara gives your lashes instant volume
  • It lasts 24 hours
This is my first time ever using a product from Physicians Formula, and I love it.  Physicians Formula, you now have a new customer.
 
Until Next Time!

50s Style Full Circle Skirt

Hello All,

Lately, I have been busy creating a 50s style circle skirt for myself.  I have always wanted one of these skirts (also known as the skater skirt and the full "midi" skirt), and I am happy that I created one for myself.  I had to take many breaks to complete it (woven fabrics are not as easy to sew as knit), but I completed it in time for my sister's graduation.

As a fashion designer, I have to say that it can be challenging creating an illustration, flats, pattern, and sewing a garment, but I love what I do, and I would not change it for anything.

Now, I introduce to you, my 50s style full circle skirt, designed by yours truly.


Until Next Time!!
