Posh Shasta's Beauty Product Of The Week! Mascara!

By Shasta Moczulski, Fashion/Beauty Director 

Mascara is a bit of an obsession of mine, and also for many of the  women I know.  Finding the perfect one is like trying to find the makeup holy grail.  The thing is, I am always interviewing mascaras, even if I currently have a pretty good one, I always have to try the new one that comes out because it may just be the one, and it's just waiting for me to try it and fall in love with it, thus perpetuating my obsession with mascara.  Sick, I know.  I am OK with that.  

My hunt for the perfect mascara prompted me to ask my Twitter followers to suggest their favorites, right away everyone was tweeting their suggestions to me!  I decided that I would try each one and let you all know what I think of each mascara because you all want the ultimate mascara also.

Before!

After! 

First up, the new "Last Blast Fusion" from CoverGirl.  The package advertised volume + length. Believe it or not, I only used one coat.  Next time I apply this, I will use a lighter touch!  I wasn't expecting it to really do what it promised!  Lash Blast Fusion was $8.29 at Target, much less then what I have been spending on mascara.  After wearing it all day long, I am impressed, no flakes on my cheeks... nada.  Lash Blast Fusion is my new favorite, for now anyway!

A FEW MUST HAVES FROM BOBBI BROWN

Introducing the new Extreme Party Mascara –

the first ever all-day layer-able mascara!

“For women who want the dramatic look of false lashes without the hassle.” – Bobbi Brown

Yes, we know (if your anything like us) you probably have ten different mascaras sitting in your make-up bag but this is just a must!

Why is it different? Thanks to Bobbi's new “re-activation” formula, each new coat of Extreme Party Mascara remains as clean and buildable as the first- whether you choose to go bolder right away or ten hours later.

- Between fresh coats, lashes stay separated and soft.

- Lashes continue to get thicker and bolder without clumping or flaking every time you want to layer on more volume and length.

- Tapered, two-fiber brush grabs even small, hard-to-reach lashes.

- Dries fast to a smudge-proof, flake-proof finish.

- Enriched with Vitamins A, C and E.

- Ophthalmologist and dermatologist-tested. Safe for contact wearers.

- Removes easily with eye makeup remover or face soap and water.

And let's not forget the new Chrome Palette ($75). According to the genius herself, Bobbi Brown says - "Chrome is cool and icy- it's a very moden, but still pretty way to illuminate the skin.”

Along with the FAB new mascara comes the perfect match; a chrome palette. Bobbi introduces the Chrome Palette- her cool, contemporary take on holiday beauty. Featuring icy shimmering accents for eyes and lips, this chrome fold-out palette includes everything you need to create countless party-read looks including: 10 eye shadows, 4 lip shades, a Mini Eye Shadow Brush and a Mini Lip Brush.

TREND ALERT: Chrome lips are another trend Bobbi loves for the holiday season- which is why she is introducing three new limited edition products for lips: Port Lip Color, Chrome Metallic Lip Color and Plum Pearl Metallic Lip Color. Chrome Lips retails for only $22!

The collection also includes Bobbi's holiday Chrome Mini Brush Set ($55)- the perfect present for the beauty-junkie in your life (or yourself!). The set, which comes in a chrome zip-around cases features a Mini Face Blender, our new Mini Angle Eye Shadow Brush and a Mini Eye Liner brush.
