Game Changing Lash and Brow Products.

This year has been all about strong brows and bold lashes, and that is not looking to change anytime soon. There are hundreds of products out there that will get the job done, but if you are looking for the best game changing lash and brow products, you've landed in the right place. These are the best products that will deliver the results to have your lashes bold and brow game strong. 

BROWS

If your brows are sparse on the whole, you can try a brow conditioner or growth product. There are a few that I have tried that I really like. I have also found that Castor Oil rubbed on with a q-tip or toothbrush really helps to stimulate hair growth. 

Grande Brow - Enriched with vitamins, peptides, and amino acids, this brow conditioner will give results in as little as 6 - 8 weeks. 

BROWFOOD Brow Transformation System - This is an entire system with a proven brow enhancer plus tools to define brows. 

neuBROW Brow Enhancing Serum - Made with proteins, peptides, vitamins and essential oils, this serum (with a fantastic delivery system) delivers results in as little as 30 days.

For every day, most of us need a little bit of filling in and shaping of the brows by using pencils, liquids, gels, powders and even waxes. This is usually based on personal preference. My favorite type of product is a waxy pencil that fills in the brows and keeps them in place. I sometimes use a powder and wax when I want to go bolder. These are the products that I find continually deliver when filling in and shaping brows.

LASHES

Just like with the brows, you can use lash conditioners and growth stimulating products. I have used a few of them and can highly recommend the following.

vegaLASH - This lash growth serum did not irritate my eyes whatsoever and I started noticing significant growth in just two weeks.

GrandeLASH-MD - I noticed a lot of growth with this serum. It took about a month before I started to see growth; I noticed that my lashes were darker, the baby hairs were much longer and thicker and it did not cause any irritation.

RevitaLash ADVANCED Eyelash Conditioner - I have used this eyelash conditioner for a few years and although it worked and maintains a long lash length and a lot of volume for me (it took about 45 days to notice a significant and noticeable difference), I did start to become irritated from using it for so long. 

I have written a lot about mascaras and my favorites, but my top 25 mascaras list and top drugstore mascaras list does not include the most recent game-changing mascaras that deserve to be mentioned. 

L'Oréal Paris Voluminous Féline - This new mascara give lashes instant volume with a full lash look.

IT Cosmetics Superhero Mascara - This is a volumizing mascara that features elastic stretch technology that lengthens as it builds volume. 

pixi Beauty Lower Lash Mascara - I love having a separate lower lash mascara and this one is perfect with its small precision, detail brush that makes getting to the lower lashes simple.

essence I Love Extreme Crazy Volume Mascara - This is one of my new favorite mascaras as it gives the look of false lashes from just a few swipes. It never clumps and delivers huge, bold lashes that are seriously extreme.

PixelCosmetics Triple Boost Mascara - This mascara is enriched with Orange & Ylang Ylang so it nourishes lashes as it adds length and volume. It's a bargain too. 

pixi Beauty Lash Booster Mascara - If your lashes lack curl and want it, this mascara is for you. This miracle mascara holds a curl better than any other mascara I've tried, plus it adds length and definition to lashes to boot.

Blush is BACK! Best 7 Blush Palettes & Products for Fall.

In case you haven't noticed, blush is back this fall. After seasons of a natural cheek or an overly contoured face, blush is back, and it's back in a big way. This season's cheek is all about a beautiful flushed look. Highlighting is still a thing, so if you like that look, you can still add a highlighter on top of your blush. A lot of new blushes have highlighters built right into them, and many of the blush palettes are minus bronzers and have highlighters in its place. These are the blush palettes and products that have caught my eye this fall.

BECCA Blushed with Light Palette - $34
This is a limited edition palette that packs two of BECCA's best sellers with a new shade. These are shades that really flatter the cheeks and highlight the face. Wear them alone of together. I love wearing Songbird with Wisteria on top.

Sephora Collection Blushing For You Blush Palette - $16
This three pan palette each has a duo shade that has a matte and shimmer side to it. The matte shade is more pigmented and the shimmer shade adds that highlight and subtle glow. 

Marc Jacobs Beauty Air Blush Soft Glow Duo - $42
This blush duo eliminates the need to highlight and blush as this palette contains the perfect mix that applies easily with one sweep of the brush. Read my complete review here.  

Physician's Formula Super BB #InstaReady Contour Trio BB Stick SPF 30 In Blush - $12.95
Winning the prize for the longest blush name in history, this unique stick wins the prize for ease of use. One swipe and cheeks are left glowing in radiant color with its trio of shades. 

Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush Palette Color Wheel - $44
This new limited edition palette (exclusive to Sephora) is filled with 10 beautiful blush and highlighter shades that will set cheeks flush with both cool and warm shades. 

bareMinerals Glow Together Dimensional Powder Trio - $34
This palette contains a trio of highlighting powders that offer subtle color for just the right amount of the perfect flush for cheeks. I love that these can be layered over each other for dimension and customization.

For the ultimate Shimmer Brick fan and anyone wanting the most beautiful glow, this palette has it all. This palette has three Shimmer Bricks packed into one palette with the perfect shades that brighten, highlight and bronze.

Changing Up My Skincare Routine with Jouviance.

Post sponsored by Jouviance. Please see below for additional disclosure.

I feel like I have been in a skincare rut lately. I have been using the same core products for the last few years. Sure, I test a lot of products, but usually only for a short period then I go back to my regular skincare routine. I decided it was time for a real change going into fall because my skin seemed to stop responding to its current regimen. It was the perfect time to partner with Jouviance and try some of their products to shake things up and get some results.

Jouviance is new to the US market. As a leading cosmeceutical brand from Canada and formulated to meet the specific needs of dermatologists, the products are made with high concentrations of active ingredients and zero harmful additives. I was excited to try some of Jouviance's smart skincare. Just knowing that the products are designed to fight visible signs of aging to promote a healthier, younger-looking appearance, I was ALL in.

Look what I have added to my skincare routine.

Restructiv Collagen Boost

Restructiv Collagen Boost is a serum made to really plump up the skin. It doesn't contain the traditional skin plumping ingredients, so I was definitely intrigued to try it. It feels so wonderful on the skin - as soon as I apply it. The serum has a consistency of a gel-cream that absorbs into the skin and makes it instantly look better as it glides on. I do not want to start my morning without this. I use two pumps over Restructiv Collagen Boost over my face and neck and let it sink in for a good two minutes and let the Pro-Collagen Activator, a unique amino acid copper complex get to work. 

Revive Invigorating Eye Contour Serum

After applying the serum, I use the Revive Invigorating Eye Contour Serum. This serum is a total treat for my eyes, especially in the morning. One-half pump is all it takes to refresh and wake up my tired eyes. It is very hydrating, which my skin needs. It contains caffeine, amongst other key ingredients, to tighten and brighten the under eye area. This doubles as an undereye primer because it instantly plumps and fills in my fine lines around my eyes; my makeup goes on more smooth and looks better since I've started using this serum.

Restructiv Coactive Anti-Aging Formula

The Restructiv Coactive Anti-Aging Formula is the power-horse formula that I think is making the most difference in my skin. It is an anti-aging cream that combines the strength of pure retinol, hyaluronic acid, and peptides to fight the major signs of aging. It works by way of RestructivSRD which was created by dermatologists, that uses patented RovisomeTM sustained release technology (SRD) to deliver 2X the concentration of pure retinol. That means that it introduces retinol into the skin without irritating it. I have been applying two pumps of Restructiv Coactive Anti-Aging Formula every morning and every night, and I have not experienced any irritation. What I have experienced is brighter skin and my age spots are noticeably starting to fade. 

I have only been using these Jouviance products for about three weeks, but I am noticing a difference; my skin is really responding to the change in skincare and my new regimen. Overall, my skin is brighter and more firm, especially in my cheeks. I am not sure if it is due to them looking plumper or more firm, but something good is happening, and I like it. The combination of effective ingredients in the Collagen Boost and Coactive Anti-Aging Formula are definitely helping to diminish my fine lines and age spots. I use a prescription to help fade my age spots, and while I feel it works to an extent, within a week of adding the new Jouviance products into my routine, my spots started to fade significantly.

Take a look at this weeks offer for Jouviance products at up to 30% off, exclusively in select CVS stores and online at cvs.com. CVS is the only place that you will find Jouviance in the US. To learn more about Jouviance, visit Jouviance.us. I'm excited to try more from them.

If you are shopping for a new eyeshadow palette for fall, definitely take a look at this new stunner from MAKE UP FOR EVER. As I recommend earlier this week in my Top 10 Eyeshadow Palettes for Fall post, the Artist Palette Volume 4 is a must-have containing shades that range from neutral to bold in an all wonderful gel-powder matte formula. 

The MAKE UP FOR EVER Artist Palette Volume 4 Eyeshadow Palette is filled with nine eyeshadows, all in matte shades, as I mentioned. The shadow formula is called the brands Artist Shadow which is easy to layer and simply, easy to use. It is formulated with ultra-fine pigments so that each color is very rich and full of true color. These matte colors are silky soft and spread like a gel but feel like a soft powder. 

If you look at the palette, you will notice that the shades are organized into trios. While I thought they were only vertical trios, they are also arranged into horizontal trios as well; the looks are endless. All of the combinations are really romantic and perfect for fall.

The shades:

• Black (M-100)
• Grey Brown (M-620)
• Chalk (M-126),
• Wine (M-842)

bareMinerals barePRO Performance Wear Powder Foundation.

I'm always excited when bareMineral launches a new foundation; I consider the brand to be experts in the field of foundation. When I heard they were launching another powder foundation I will admit that I was skeptical. Being the pros that they are, I knew it would be good, but the fact that I am getting older and lines are becoming more prominent on my face means that I cannot just wear any ole' powder foundation. I will quickly say that my fears were immediately put to rest the second that I swept the new barePRO Performance Wear Powder Foundation over my face because this ultra-smooth foundation is so silky even with its natural matte finish that I can wear it.

The secret to bareMinerals barePRO Performance Wear Powder Foundation is the formula; it is made up of 90% Vitamins and Minerals that support a healthy complexion while you wear it. It simply feels like silk as I apply it. Lightweight silk, I should say, because it is extremely lightweight which is exceptional for a powder. 

I am impressed with how it covers and glides over my lines and pores. bareMinerals barePRO Performance Wear Powder Foundation does NOT settle into lines, wrinkles or pores and seems to make pores disappear. It boasts a matte finish, but I would say that it is more of a natural finish. It does not look cakey whatsoever on the skin. The coverage on first application is light to medium, but is very buildable. I am using the bareMinerals Core Coverage Brush which helps make application seamless and gives skin an airbrushed look to it.

I feel like this foundation makes my skin looks brighter and more radiant as it gives me a rested look, which is pretty unique from a powder foundation perspective. I've been wearing it on and off for almost a week now and I keep going back to it. It is very long wearing and I've found it to be water resistant. I've worn it both with and without a primer and it holds up extremely well even without a primer. If you have a lot of larger pores or lines (like me), I would suggest applying your favorite makeup primer first. Here are my makeup primer suggestions.

bareMinerals barePRO Performance Wear Powder Foundation comes in 30 shades to cover most skin tones. 

• Fair 01 cool undertones
• Dawn 02 cool neutral undertones
• Champagne 03 golden undertones
• Aspen 04 cool neutral undertones
