MAC In Extreme Dimension Lash

Good morning!

So, my last post I raved about my new MAC love the BB Cream. Now I am going to talk about my other MAC love, In Extreme Dimension Lash. The name is so long, right? Anyways this mascara rocks! The price is $20 which is in the cheaper end of name brand mascaras, I think. I have never been impressed by MAC's mascaras before, but I saw this one and wow! It is so different. The brush is huge and I only need to put one coat on each eye and I am done. It volumizes, lengthens, and curls too. I love using this on mornings when I am in a rush because only one coat is required.

As a point of information if there is a mascara, I have probably tried it. From Maybelline to Dior and everywhere in between, it's probably been im my makeup bag at one point in time. And this one my friends tops them all.

Pros: 

-Only requires 1 coat on each eye
-Volumizing, lengthening, AND curling
-Doesn't clump (the brush does an awesome job at equally distributing mascara on each lash)
-Doesn't flake (yay!!)
-Lasts all day
-Easy to wash off with regular face wash

Cons: 

-Because the brush is so large, you have to dab off the tip before application because a ton of mascara is on there
-Can be messy if you don't have a steady hand

Tips:

-Clean up any stray mascara on the skin with a Q-Tip. This is especially necessary for me on the bottom lashes. The mascara removes easily so you won't have to scrub.
-Be gentle and not crazy when applying because the brush is so big.







This is my new favorite mascara of all time and I hope it becomes yours too! Let me know what you think!

Xoxoxo.

MAC BB Cream Review

Hey y'all!

Today I am going to talk about my latest beauty obsession, MAC BB Cream. As I have said before, my skin is nowhere near perfect. I usually use a medium/full build-able coverage foundation. With that said, I didn't know if a BB cream would quite be enough for me. So I gave it a shot and I am so happy that I did. It's so creamy and lightweight and gives you that no makeup feeling (which I love). It is also non-greasy once it dries, doesn't cake, and makes your face so smooth and fresh looking. It also reduces redness which is a major plus for me because the area around my nose is constantly red and I have redness from my breakouts. I wear this alone and rub some cream blush on my cheeks and it gives me a nice, healthy, natural-looking glow.

This BB cream is my favorite to date. I have tried Garnier BB cream (too greasy), Smashbox BB Cream (wasn't impressed for the $ and returned it), and many other over-the-counter products that had an unnatural color to them. The color for me is perfect. I wear the shade "light-plus." It says it's a light beige and it blends in seamlessly to my skin. I purchased mine in the store to try on the shades (definitely recommend this), but you can look at it online here.

I always like to mix it up with my brands but I can say that MAC is a company that has never let me down. They are a little more pricey, but you get what you pay for. I have a feeling this stuff is going to last a while and will make an awesome summer makeup as well.

I will post a picture of me wearing it ASAP. I will also be reviewing the new MAC mascara I purchased along with this, yay!

Front Twist Hair Tutorial


Hey y'all!

Today I made my first video and it's how to do a front twist with your hair. It looks like a front braid or a front french braid, except it is much quicker and VERY easy!

I wear my hair like this all of the time because I am very hot natured and it keeps my hair out of my face. Let me know what you think! Please subscribe/follow my blog and subscribe to my YouTube channel, Morgan Beek.



Xoxo!!!
