If you have sad straight eye lashes like I do, there is hope and this tip is for you!
Personally, my super straight eyelashes will curl beautifully… only to become super straight and very sad again as soon as I apply mascara.
Problem solved by only using waterproof mascara. While that is a great tip that I learned from Wayne Goss, that isn’t actually this weeks tip….
Some mascara formulas are awesome in the regular version and terrible in the waterproof version. So, when I want to use a regular non waterproof mascara, but also want my lashes to stay curled, I first apply a thin layer of waterproof mascara concentrating at the roots of my lashes, then using the regular non waterproof mascara I apply a second and third (sometimes even a fourth) coat of mascara. This keeps the curl to my lashes while still being able to get the benefits of whichever regular mascara I want to use.
Let me know if you try it and what you think!

I hate dry cracked lips! I can not stand it when my lips are not nice and smoothly moisturized. Here is a simple recipe for making a natural lip exfoliator. Get rid of the dead skin to reveal smooth soft lips.
What you need:
In a bowl, warm up the honey and coconut oil. Then, add the granulated sugar and brown sugar. Apply to your lips and gently scrub before rinsing off. I got a pack of 10 little containers from the Dollar Store to store the extra lip scrub in.

As I have mentioned several times, I have been “shopping” from my own collection of makeup in my effort to not buy new makeup items. I forget that I already own a lot of great products! I continue to rediscovered so many great products that I have been completely neglecting.
When I first got these LORAC Love, Lust & Lace Matte & Shimmer Eye Shadow Palettes I used them all the time. As time has gone by they had gotten lost in the shuffle. I am so glad that I brought them out to use again because I remembered why I love them so much. Since I have dark brown eyes using the warm purple toned gray really compliments my eyes.
Yup that is 3 different mascaras. I have recently been testing out the full exposure and bad gal lash mascaras at the same time, and well, I have super sad straight lashes so I need the waterproof Great Lash in order to keep my curl. (What a long story, haha) I’m not going to tell you quite yet which eye has which mascara on it, but look closely and tell me if you can spot a difference.
How about you, have you tried any of the products that I have on my face today? Do you like to test out similar products at the same time to compare them to each other?

Now that it is summer time it is more important than ever to protect your skin and hair. If you have a swimming pool or swim in the ocean the chlorinated and salt water can reek havoc on your hair.
This tip was actually given to me by my sister in law. We both have daughters with long hair and dealing with the aftermath of a day spent swimming can be tough for all those involved.
While I try to always deep condition my daughter’s hair after she has been swimming, instead of just treating it, preventing the damage in the first place is always a much better idea.
Before going into the pool (or ocean or lake or where ever you might be swimming) completely wet your hair with fresh clean water. This simple step will minimize the amount of water your hair can absorb while you are swimming. After swimming, I always wash my daughters hair with clarifying shampoo and deep condition it.
Let me know if you try it and what you think!

Mascara is one of my favorite makeup items. Finding the perfect mascara is not always easy. Sometimes the formula is great but the brush is terrible. It may be that the brush is awesome, but the mascara smudges and flakes.
My tip for this week…
If you find a mascara wand that you love, keep using it. If I buy a new mascara and discover that I hate the brush, before I write it off completely, I will take a wand/brush that I like from a mascara, ( after cleaning it off really well with rubbing alcohol between mascara bottles), and use it in the new mascara. Sometimes that is all that it takes. It might not be that the mascara formula is one that I don’t like, it might just be the brush.

Makeup of the day, using some of my favorite brands Maybelline, Lorac, Seraphine Botanicals, Covergirl, the balm, Tarte and Loreal. (Check back tomorrow for a full post about the Loreal Magic BB!)
If you follow me on Instagram (lookingjoligood) You may have already seen this picture. Here is what I am wearing again on my face today.
Also here is a picture of me wearing the makeup, but although it isn’t actually a close up of my face, I really just wanted to show off this really cute outfit I just bought. So this post is actually a MOTD/OOTD post. I got this outfit at Marshalls for less than $50 USD. The shirt has a super cute gold zipper detail on the back.
(Seriously though, how huge is my phone?! Haha, it’s new too and I love it! It is a Nexus 6P.)
