Lauren Luke & Barry M

Look at what I got in my inbox! Congrats Lauren, You GO Girl!

Beauty Strokes - Brushes

Has anyone heard of BeautyStrokes brushes before?

I'd like to try the following.

• Blusher Brush
  
• Face Powder Brush
• Bronzer Brush
• Crease Brush (especially)
  

The bristles are made out of natural hair. I'd imagine that they'd be very soft. I'm curious to find what you all think of these.

Blue based Red Lipstick

I came across the statement below. Does anyone know a good, but less expensive alternative?

BodyShop.com - Wishlist

I'd really like to try the following items by the BodyShop.

• lip & cheek stain
• shimmer cubes

Have any of you, my readers tried this? I've yet to try any of their products, but I have a friend who has tried one of their lipglosses (no longer available) & she absolutely loves it.

Pencil Me In Cosmetics

I've discovered another makeup brand because of OnMakeup Magazine & that is Pencil Me In Cosmetics. I haven't tried their pencils yet, but I'm eager to. Their whole purpose is eye pencils & nothing but eye pencils in a huge rainbow of colors for different eye looks. All pencils have their own built in sharpener & are a little over $6 a piece. I so want try this!

Rimmel LashMaxxx Mascara

You've read reviews (I know I have). You've seen the TV ad. But how well does it work? I've been dying to try this mascara for a while now & I finally had the opportunity to buy it the other day & test it out for myself.

How was it? I absolutely love it! The comb wand separated & defined my lashes while adding volume. And guess what? Very little clumping. This one's definitely a keeper in my makeup bag!
