Cult of Pretty

Happy Monday!

Via: Stylist Magazine (UK)

Today’s GIVEAWAY is all about the cult lash product you’ve probably heard about, and valued at $150.

CONTEST OVER THANKS FOR PLAYING

RevitaLash is what some might call over-the-counter Latisse.  Though it’s obviously not the same prescription formula, 97% of users saw improvement in their lashes in 3 weeks … you just paint it on your lash line at night, and the formula conditions with a combination of peptides, botanicals and other secrets (derm and ophthalmologist reviewed obvs).

I would have approached this with a skeptical side eye but then it would have been all over my face I had heard nothing but positive things about it from friends in the industry.  I’ve been using it and I love it; I paint it on my brows too! I feel like it’s the kind thing to do for my lashes, which are otherwise brushed, crimped and washed too much for their own good.

Today you can win a 6 month supply (one tube, $150)!

Fashion Week Survival Part 1 - The Kit!  This really applies to any hectic runaround period of your life.

Some of this is over on Holier than Now … but, here’s the beauty lowdown:

1. YSL Glossy Stain in Brun Cachmire ($32) | 2. Benefit Hello Flawless OxygenWOW - their amazing new sheer foundation ($34) | 3. Real Techniques Buffing Brush (in the Core Collection Set - $18) … I use this to blend in foundation and for cream blush.  It creates such a dewy, natural finish. | 4. Josie Maran Magic Marker Lip & Cheek Stain in Waltz ($19) | 5. Anastasia Highlighting Duo in St. Tropez ($26) … This is a super easy liquid highlighter and pan cream blush pair.  I just brush the buffing brush along the pan and then apply.  I use my fingers for the highlighter, along the top of cheekbones or inner eye corner. | 6. Benefit BADgal Mascara ($19) … I’m really loving this formula lately, it’s very dry - I know that sounds odd but it doesn’t clump and it’s very buildable. | 7. Benefit Stay Don’t Stray ($26) - like I’ve said before, life changing concealer and primer | 8.  YSL Volupté Sheer Candy Balm in Juicy Grapefruit ($30) | 9. False Lashes … trimmed to build corners only (there are a couple stuck side by side here).  I use an array of brands, Ardell is one ($3.49). | 10. Rohto Cool Redness Relief Eye Drops ($6.79) … Refreshing when your eyes are burning from too much good fashion. | 11. Bag behind is Stephanie Johnson, similar on sale on Yoox ($12).

I’m excited to say I’m partnering with Uber to get around for Fashion Week. You can read all about it on Holier, and sign up with promo code HOLIER for $10 off your first ride.  They operate in NYC, San Fran, Boston, Chicago, D.C., Seattle, Toronto and Paris.

2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11 c/o the brands

I get a lot of questions about mascara recommendations and honestly I’m not that fussed about my mascara brand … I switch around a lot (FYI my secret ingredient is Origins Underwear for Lashes - it makes any mascara work and stay put better, and I think it makes me more comfortable buying any old mascara that strikes my fancy).

Anyway, I think I’m going to add this Eyeko Curvy Brush Mascara to my rotation …

I want to try the brush, I love the tube (it’s easier to use up the product), and the little smudge guard/guitar pick thing looks neat to try.  I also appreciate that this small UK brand is focused on eyes only.

Does this: Cult curling lash formula with “tiered brush clusters” and a lash guard
Is this: Eyeko Curvy Brush Mascara
Get this: Above
Price: $19.00
