Anastasia's a LASH GENIUS!

File this under "Stuff I'm Excited About!" Anastasia Beverly Hills came out with this prodigy of a product called the Lash Genius. It's a Clear Waterproof Topcoat that instantly waterproofs, refreshes, and protects any mascara all day, without the typical drying or clumping. According to the site, "Its advanced, lightweight formula glides on smooth, dries quickly, and gives your lashes a touchably soft lacquer finish that lasts all day." 

I LOVE this because I can't stand how hard it is to remove waterproof mascara without getting dark smears all over your skin. This product is CLEAR so it won't leave behind a mess like other waterproof mascaras do. It also goes over any regular mascara so you don't also need to keep a waterproof one in your stash, which will (of course) eventually dry out.

Bravo Anastasia! 

Here's some additional things about the product that make me love it so much:

DERMATOLOGIST TESTED

HYPOALLERGENIC

Anastasia Pro Wax Kit-- Product Review

Hola Senioritas!

I wanted to share my thoughts on a poquito (sp?) little wax kit that was given to me by a friend to try. Anastasia is known for coming up with great tools and products for perfecting your eye brows. The Pro Wax Kit is an unbelievable $12 at Sephora. It's third of an ounce of wax is easily microwavable and manageable. Surprisingly, this small amount of wax lasts quite a while. Contrary to its name, you don't have to be a "pro" to use this. While I consider myself a connoisseur at plucking and trimming brows, I have never ventured into the wax arena and was a little nervous. However, the tiny little birchwood sticks the kit came with made it easy to control where the wax went, and how much of it went on my skin. I use one muslin strip each time I have to wax my brows (about once every 3 weeks). You can use them over and over again in one sitting.
I rubbed a little baby oil to the areas I waxed immediately after to help remove any stickyness and soften the skin, then finished off with a creamy moisturizer. Done and done.

DISCLAIMER: when waxing, do not re-wax the same area -your skin will be highly sensitive and may form a rash from being so raw. Again, I am by no means an esthetician, but simply a Middle Eastern girl with facial and body hair expertise.
