All Things Mascara










Hey Friends! Friday has finally arrived, looking forward to doing absolutely nothing this weekend. Anyone love just being able to stay home, Netflix, cuddle, and eat unhealthy snacks all weekend?! I am so excited to share with you today's post All Things Mascara. I can have an entire face of makeup on but if I’m not wearing my mascara I’m just not complete. My game face absolutely includes the Haute/ Naughty Mascara by MAC Cosmetics I'm wearing in the photos, a product that I can’t go without, lashes give me life!
MY GO TO MASCARAS:
Mally More Is More:
  • *Length & Definition*
  • The combination of natural waxes and carefully chosen powders gives lashes an instant boost
  • Everyone will think you’re wearing fake lashes
  • $20.00
  • Purchase from Ulta, Khols, Mally Beauty

Maybelline Lash Sensational:
  • *Fullness & Curl*
  • gives you length, doesn't cluster, or flake, and hold your curl for hours
  • affordable alternative to, Benefit's "They're Real"
  • $8.00
  • Purchase from Ulta, or any drug store

Haute/Naughty MAC:
  • *All-in-one*
  • Flawlessness in a bottle. Long wearing, doesn't run, doesn't smear and gives your lashes love.
  • I use the naughty brush then the nice brush to separate and shape and I love it.
  • The nice brush is extraordinary for base lashes.
  • Two-in-one brushes, one for length and other for volume paring the perfect combo
  • $24.00
  • Purchase at any MAC distributor

L'Oréal Paris Voluminous Million Lashes:
  • *Volume & Definition*
  • Glides on easily, last throughout the day, while thickening and dividing each lash for a clump free look
  • $8.00
  • Purchase at any drug store

 STEPS TO APPLYING MASCARA:
  • When using mascara for the first time wipe the brush with a paper towel to take off excess product, I always like using a dryer brush to build volume
  • Wiggle wand at the base of lashes to help separate, this helps separate the lashes to prevent the end from sticking together
  • Sweep wand on the back side of your lashes, this is really going to enhance the length
  • REPEAT on bottom lashes
  • I normally just repeat this process until my lashes are as big as I want

MASCARA TIPS 101:
  •  Loosen hardened mascara by placing the tube in a cup of hot water for a minute or two. The liquid will fall to the bottom where you can reach it with the wand.
  • When applying your mascara to top lashes look down at a mirror instead of looking up, to prevent mascara on your top eyelid.
  • Look up at a mirror when applying to your bottom lashes to prevent mascara on your bottom eyelid
  • If you start to notice your mascara is getting clumpy, add a few drops of Visine.
  • One Drop of Lavender Oil extends life of mascara, kills mites and bacteria, promotes lash growth, strengthens your lashes


Thanks so much for taking time out of your day to stop by, take with you a beauty tip that will help build confidence in your makeup routine. Always remember Lashes make everything better, I hope you feel beautiful today. Can’t wait to share May with you and all the celebrations, starting next week with Cinco De Mayo.
XOXO- Katherine

Grateful for Twenty-Three

Good Morning Loves! Today's my BIRTHDAY, I am turning 23 years old the oldest I've ever been! Seem like now-a-days the years just keep going by faster, but I am thankful to have lived another one. This morning I am celebrating with my family and three banana pancakes, from the best granny. To continue the celebration Calvin and I are headed to San Antonio this weekend. I am so excited to have a fulfilled weekend with him doing some of my favorite things. Thursday we plan on going out on the town for a little dancing, Friday we are floating the river, and Saturday calls for a relaxing spa day.  This shoot has to be one of my favorites, we took these pictures at a local Ice Cream Shop Holly Hops. What's a better way to celebrate your birthday than with some cake batter ice cream?! SOO DELICIOUS! Todays outfit is so fun and bright. Who else loves wearing yellow in the summer? Brings out your tan, even if you don't have one. LOL Hoping to add some color to me t...

Hey Y’all! Happy Hump Day! Half way through this week, woohoo! Seems to be so much going on, headed into the end of the semester, everything is due for my classes at the same time, as well as multiple tests in the same week. At this point I'm just trying to keep my head up, stay on schedule, not fall behind and finish the semester strong. I am currently dreaming of summer days at the pool and hanging out with friends. Today I am sharing a pair of my favorite retro sunnies. If you're anything small like me, you have the hardest time finding shades that fit your face. Every summer I try and find a new pair of affordable shades that I can wear every day.   Why I love these shades??   ONE : Lightweight, wear these all day and they will not hurt your ears or nose   TWO : Affordable, Old Navy for only $6   THREE : Style, pair these shades with any outfit causal, sporty, etc.   I als o want to share with you a pair of s...
