Tried and True – From Our Make-Up Bags to Yours… BB’s Pick: Bright Eyed Future…

BENEFIT - eye-bright-pencil

It’s the middle of the week and you’re fading!  Never fear! We have the perfect pick me up and we girls of TRAffIK often use this ourselves with our GO!GO!GO! schedules.

So just because you may feel a little worn out doesn’t mean you should ever look it!

If you’re a work hard play hard kind of girl, then you’re probably tired and need to stay looking fresh for those early morning meetings at work or spur of the moment afterwork cocktail parties/happy hours. One trick to hide those tired eyes is with the Bright Eye Pencil by Benefit. This perfect shade of pink brightens the shadows of the eyes and lifts the corners of the eyes, making you look wide awake.

Apply from the bridge of your nose to the inner corner of your eye and blend slightly, don’t over blend so some of the pink lingers behind.

Problem Solved! Perfect for daytime or night!

Retails at: $20


Tried and True – From Our Make-Up Bag to Yours… BB’s Mascara Pick – Bad Gals Get BIG Lashes…

bad-gal-lash

Benefit’s BADgal Lash for a Bad LA gal!

If you’re sick of using a mascara that doesn’t bulk up the lashes on your eye, get ready for really laying it on THICK!

I’m definitely a girl who loves to lay it on thick, and this is a great volumizing mascara…it thickens, darkens, and lengthens to make those eyes as gorgeous as they advertise.

BADgal Lash is packaged in a thick tube for easy handling –big enough to hold the thick brush that almost looks like you could use for your head of hair.

Easy to use and worth the price of $19.


Tried and True – From our Make-Up Bags to Yours… Siria’s Mascara Pick – Hypnotizing Eyes

 

hypnose-mascaraThick Lashes, long lashes, lush lashes…when it comes to my lashes I want it all. The Lancome line of mascaras has never let me down, particularly my favorite…Hypnôse Mascara.

A couple of coats of this mascara (try one coat if superdark lashes aren’t your style) in Deep Black and I’m good to go. Some mornings it’s the equivalent of coffee for my eyes, allowing me to at least feign alertness.

My favorite part is it stays put taking me from early mornings to late nights without smearing or smudging.
Price: $24

A more economical mascara that also works for me is Maybelline’s Colossal Volum’ Express in Glam Black which retails between $5.99 and $7.99.
