I have used both and think they are equally fantastic products. I have super dry, brittle hair and these products have made all the difference. Just use a peanut M&M sized amount and rub it through the ends of your hair when it still wet after a shower. You'll LOVE it :) Well worth the big bucks, I think.<br /><br />Abbie: YES YOU CAN :) Eye shadow is a lot easier than it seems...and often the shadows come in a trio so of colors so you don't have to worry about getting the right colors as the base color and darker shadow...it all comes in one package :) Let me know if you have any questions.<br /><br />Nikki: I ONLY use Great Lash by Maybelline. It is the pink and green tube kind. I get the very black with the straight brush. It is between 3-5 bucks and it is not clumpy. Hey, the money you save on mascara can be used for a MAC bronzer or ID minerals eye shadow! haha.<br />If you are worried about pulling out your lashes--use the technique I showed on the post where you hold your eyelashes up with your finger. I wait till the mascara dries and then I hold up the lashes while blowing up out of my mouth (kind of like you are blowing your bangs out of your eyes...get it?)<br /><br />I hope this all helps, Ladies :)Joanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01492629476225188410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3314654863949920054.post-17170700427675077982010-04-06T07:13:49.335-07:002010-04-06T07:13:49.335-07:00LOVE THIS!

Wh...LOVE THIS! I totally need advice in this area.<br /><br />What brand(s) of mascara do you like? I usually have been using Mary Kay which I like, but thought I'd try to save money and got a cheap Loreal one and I hate it. It's too clumpy and gets all over the place. Help!<br /><br />Also I always feel like curling my lashes will pull some of them out since I have sensitive skin and hair. Is there a trick to being gentle with curling?<br /><br />If a guest out there can post on how to make hair look finished whether it's down or up (like styling techniques) I'd really love that. I feel like my hair has become really dull (not to mention a lot thinner after having kids) since I've gotten older and the flyaways always make my hair look like I don't care about my hair.<br />Thank you!Nicole Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09104282871602988961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3314654863949920054.post-39605982742607771302010-04-05T22:03:46.753-07:002010-04-05T22:03:46.753-07:00great tips, I need to do a little something and th...great tips, I need to do a little something and this helps.Capturing Joy with Kristen Dukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14069867919617358141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3314654863949920054.post-16439037566275873202010-04-05T22:02:45.803-07:002010-04-05T22:02:45.803-07:00thanks for the i.d. bare minerals tip. that shimm...thanks for the i.d. bare minerals tip. that shimmery shadow is so pretty--i've been looking for some new shadow. i've been working on the 2-toned shadow for a while--it is hard to master!Bloomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15483990252015813307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3314654863949920054.post-50164026077886746332010-04-05T21:16:47.394-07:002010-04-05T21:16:47.394-07:00Great post!

About 10 years ago - back when Stila had the best makeup artists in the business and did nearly every InStyle photo shoot - I had the privilege of having a makeup makeover and tutorial by their west coast director. It was INCREDIBLE the difference a little technique made. And as you said, the right colors in the right place.Jesslynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01419526534244244546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3314654863949920054.post-6138745896739939152010-04-05T20:35:13.857-07:002010-04-05T20:35:13.857-07:00This makes me nervous.

In answer to your...Thanks for the love everyone! :)<br />In answer to your question, "Unfailing Love" I wish I could share the hair how to on the messy bun look...but my cousin, Helen was the artist behind that design.<br />From what I saw her do it was a fair amount of curling, back-combing and then just pinning randomly on the side. I got the feather hair piece from Forever 21 :)Joanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01492629476225188410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3314654863949920054.post-23419701662022062972010-04-05T13:29:52.297-07:002010-04-05T13:29:52.297-07:00Ohhh!

And glad it's not all from Nordstrom! Although sometimes it's fun to have one bit of more expensive make-up!

Maybe I'll start a trend by wearing makeup on days other than Sunday!<br />One thing I do a bit differently is put mascara on the bottom first, because if I do the top, then move to the bottom, my top lashes will smudge onto my lid and I have to do damage control.Jonesyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12524291508991901570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3314654863949920054.post-67758625418415229232010-04-05T09:51:23.922-07:002010-04-05T09:51:23.922-07:00Love it, Joan.
