Too Faced Lash Injection Mascara is what I call "tubing" mascara. When you brush it on with the oversized wand, tiny polymers surround each lash. Your lashes look thicker, longer without that crunchy look. It's practically lash extensions without the cost. Removal is easy with either splashing water or the Too Faced Lash Injection Antidote Eye Makeup Remover. The mascara slides off in little tubes. Thus "tubing"! There are other goodies in the Too Faced spring lineup. Shadow Insurance Anti-Crease Eye Shadow Primer; 8 Too Faced Lip of Luxury lipsticks that moisturize with shea butter. Lips are saturated in pure pigments both in shimmers and matte shades. $18 Galaxy Glam Eye Shadow $19.50 are out of this world in 4 shades to impart a smoky eye with iridescent lights.

Have you ever tried Wet n Wild Lip Pencils. I buy them 6 at a time always fearing they'll discontinue my favorite shade. But they don't and they get a hardy thank you for that. Most of us makeup artists have (if you'll excuse the expression) #666 lip pencil in our kits. It is a wonderful natural lip tone with a hint of gold. And it costs 99 cents! It looks just like Chanel Nude Lip Liner which costs three times more. For spring Wet n Wild has come up with a nice variety of lip products and powders to make you fall in love without emptying your pocket book.
