Mischo Beauty Must-Have: Maybelline The Falsies Volum’ Express Mascara

I'll be the first to admit that I'm a little late to join the party with this one, but better late then never- right? This mascara surprised me - I wasn't convinced that I'd be able to use this alone (most times I use a mascara for volume and another for lengthening). But, it's the truth! It lengthened, separated and gave my lashes volume - and I love it. If you don't own a tube, run out and buy one now!

What's one must-have beauty product you can't live without?

So, I'll start off by telling you mine! Well, I'm actually cheating, because I'm going to name two- Jolen Crème Bleach and Maybelline New York Expert Eyes Twin Brow & Eye Pencils. And this is why!

So my question for you today is: What's one must-have beauty product you can't live without?

Mischo Beauty Review: Lash Stiletto by Maybelline

Maybelline's newest mascara, Lash Stiletto, is supposed to "grasp and coat each lash from every angle" and "stretch lashes for provocative length". Well I'm happy to report that it did just that! But, after testing the mascara out, I immediately knew something was missing.

First, you must know that I loved the packaging. The tube is very sleek, and if you've seen the ad compaign, then you know it was designed after the heel of the stilletto boot worn by the model in the ad.

But, back to what's missing. The mascara definitely lengthened and separated my lashes, but they lacked fullness, thickness- let's just call it- volume. One of my beauty icons, Diana Ross from the 60's/70's, had the lash look I strive to achieve daily. And don't get me wrong, I know she's wearing false lashes- but I still think it's fun to test and experiment, in order to determine which products will help you achieve your desired look.

With that said, I discovered the perfect combination. Along with Lash Stiletto, I used Maybelline's Colossal Volum' Express mascara and, well, issue resolved!

Would you be willing to give Lash Stiletto a try?

Mischo Beauty Magic

I can’t believe I haven’t posted about my two most important beauty must-haves!? They’re like magic! I know most people can’t live without their lip gloss or mascara or foundation, but I can’t live without my Jolen Crème Bleach and Maybelline New York Expert Eyes Twin Brow & Eye Pencils. In my opinion, the brows are the most important feature of the face. I know this sounds crazy, but believe me when I tell you that I’ve been on the quest to achieve the perfect brow for years!

It wasn’t until I attended a makeup symposium and witnessed celebrity makeup artist Sam Fine using the Maybelline New York Expert Eyes Twin Brow & Eye Pencils, that I realized these might be the answer! You see, I’m a natural red-head, but for some reason my eyebrows are a lot darker. So lightening them and then lightly filling them in with the brow pencil creates the perfect brow!
