You Can Shop in Vegas

When we were in Vegas a couple of weeks ago, I broke down and bought the Imju Fiberwig mascara. I had told myself that I wouldn’t buy it, but it was taunting me with it’s claims of “paint on false lashes,” so I had to have it. My eyelashes are really long anyway, and fairly thick, so I usually don’t notice much of a difference when mascaras claim extended length or volume.

I was pleasantly surprised with the Fiberwig. I don’t notice extended length, but the mascara separates my lashes beautifully, and will stay on through two taekwondo classes. Score! It’s great for every day. At $22, I’m not sure I’ll buy it again, but I’m glad I tried it. I also tried Sephora’s new Atomic Volume mascara. LOVE IT. It’s $16, and the black is super black. The brush has the rubber bristles, but they’re all different sizes, so the brush can get even the short lashes. It has great separation, lift and volume. I haven’t tried this one with my eyelash curler yet, but watch out when I do!

Here’s the rest of the cool stuff I got in Vegas: Sephora Metallic eyeliner in bronze (210) $4 – awesome. Try it. Ted Gibson Build It blow drying agent$28 – smells awesome and actually does provide some lift and hold. Caudalie Beauty Elixer $15 – Don’t waste your money. Alcohol is the second ingredient, and it stinks. Literally. It smells bad. I should have stopped and read the ingredients before I purchased it. (btw, I got some Caudalie cleanser travel sizes. Awesome cleanser. Very gentle, and they will work on everyone’s skin types.)

Lest you think I only shopped at Sephora, I also got some flip flops from bebe. Love them!!

Oh yes, and when you’re in Vegas, take some time to go to the Casino Royale on the strip. They have dollar margaritas. All Day. Just one dollar.
