Mascara Break - SPINLASH Review


It’s not the size of the brush, it’s the motion of the potion. While all the other cosmetics companies rely on new formulas and brushes to improve their mascaras, cosmetics company, Akasha has taken its innovative new mascara, SPINLASH, a step further! Not only does SPINLASH gently rotate to remove clumps, coat and separate with every turn, it also applies a liquid line of eyeliner. It applies mascara, eyeliner, and curls your eyelashes all at the same time!

I recently tried SPINLASH and I have to say, I had my doubts at first. I used it with my Jelly Pong Pong Mascara and was very impressed! It definitely feels weird at first, and I had a bad vision of my eyelashes getting tangled in the rotating brush. It almost kind of tickles a bit. Usually I comb and curl my lashes before I put on mascara, and SPINLASH saves me this step. It not only ensures that my lashes don't clump, but gives them a soft curl and evenly applies the mascara.

I didn't try using it as an eyeliner, but SPINLASH users claim that if you hold the wand at the base of the eyelashes and pause for just a moment, before stroking upwards, and you can get a perfect coating of mascara and a flawless application of eyeliner.

I haven't tried Lancome's Oscillation Macara, but I'm sure the price point can't compare to SPINLASH. For $19.99 you get two brushes and two mascaras. You can purchase the SPINLASH on their site, SpinLash.com.

Stay tuned for my SPINLASH Giveaway!

Lipgloss Break - Three Custom Color Specialists Whisper Gloss

Every season, Three Custom Color Specialists chooses their favorite runway beauty trend. For Spring ’09, they were particularly intrigued by the seductively bronzed cheeks, smoldering eyes and moist, kissable lips at Donna Karan, Milly, Juan Carlos Obando and Carlos Miele. Inspired by this sexy look, the Specialists created WHISPER, a creamy shimmering nude with fine flecks of gold and bronze, which is available in both their award- winning sheer lipstick formula and makeup artist favorite creamy lip gloss. WHISPER works with the natural pink in your lips to create a soft look that is universally flattering.

I'm new to this brand and I've got to say, I love this gloss. This is the exact shade I have been looking for: a light bronze shimmer that I can pair with smokey eyes and bronzed cheeks. The gold specks in the gloss sparkle just the right amount when the light hits them. The gloss goes on smooth (some glosses with sparkle can fill a bit grainy on your lips) and is long lasting. Two thumbs up!

WHISPER SHEER LIPSTICK and WHISPER LIP GLOSS ($18.50 ea.) will be available in March at www.threecustom.com, toll-free at 888.262.7714 and at select boutiques worldwide.
