New NYX Mascaras

I was checking out NYX's new products page & it looks like they have 2 new mascaras that look interesting.

The Fly With Me mascara is supposed to:

intensify lashes 100 times, making average lashes infinitely long, boldly black and providing intense coverage for extreme thickness. 

The brush looks pretty trippy too. lol.

The Grow Lash mascara claims:

This long and full lash mascara with “Grow Lash Serum” helps lashes grow stronger while instantly adding visible volume and length to create a thicker, fuller, more beautiful look.

So, I'm curious what you guys think. Have you tried either of these? Let me know in the comments! :)

The Fresh Air Fund

This isn't beauty related, but I was asked to blog this & I felt it was definitely worthy of a mention!

"THE FRESH AIR FUND, an independent, not-for-profit agency, has provided free summer vacations to more than 1.7 million New York City children from low-income communities since 1877. Nearly 10,000 New York City children enjoy free Fresh Air Fund programs annually. In 2010, close to 5,000 children visited volunteer host families in suburbs and small town communities across 13 states from Virginia to Maine and Canada. 3,000 children also attended five Fresh Air camps on a 2,300-acre site in Fishkill, New York. The Fund's year-round camping program serves an additional 2,000 young people each year." - freshairfundhost.org

Mark Nail Color Duo

Mark has come out w/a new nail color duo, as you can see in the photo.

This is the Ibiza Sol Nailed It Trend Mini Lacquers. I'm really digging the mint green color (mojito) in this duo, it looks so pretty!

Review: Rimmel Nail Color

I'm usually a klutz when it comes to applying nail color (ok, so that would actually apply to more then just nail color, lol). I have shaky hands I usually wind up with product on the skin around the nail. There has to be an easier way, right?

Fortunately, there is. Several brands have now incorporated a wide flat brush for ease in application & Rimmel's Lasting Finish Pro Nail Enamel is one of them.

As you can see in the photo I got the color Steel Grey, which I love. It's a gorgeous purpley-taupe shade! Now, on to the brush. I was able to apply this w/o any mishaps &, HOLY COW, it was so easy! The brush is wide enough to cover most of the nail, which results in not having to swipe the brush on the nail as much & it being flat definitely helps in spreading the color evenly. I love this brush!

The formula glided on super smooth w/o streaking or clumping & you only need 2 coats for good coverage or 3 for full opacity. I rather like the look of 2 coats, which is how many I'm wearing in the photo. As to whether or not this will last for 10 days like the product claims, I don't know. However, if you use a good topcoat you should be able to extend the wear of your nail color. Even if this doesn't last 10 days I love it & would buy it again because of the ease of application & the smoothness of the formula.

Have you, my readers, tried this product? What did you think of it? Let me know in the comments! :)
