Beauty Is In The Eyes Of The Beholder

Old habits are hard to break.

As a teenager, whenever a group of us gals were going out for the night we’d get together over at someone’s house and gussy ourselves up for whatever was on the agenda that night. Since there were no cell phones, we obviously already had a “plan.“ Nothing was spontaneous.

Now some gals are great with hair, while others were the make-up “go-to” specialists.

I fell into the “make-up” category. My inspiration was “Barbra Streisand“ eyes and also Liz Taylor “Cleopatra” eyes. Read: a LOT of makeup – eye shadow, eyeliner, mascara – the whole nine yards. And I was good at it.

To this day, I still wear black eyeliner!

Recently I had the opportunity to review some new makeup from the Lavera Naturkosmetic line of cosmetics.

I tried the Volume Mascara No. 3 Brown – Lavera Volume Mascara with Advanced Shaping Brush.

I have pretty long eyelashes to begin with. This mascara adds volume & length to your lashes and makes your eyes appear so much brighter. What I like to do is brush on the mascara, add a little mineral makeup powder, and brush on again to thicken them.

The Volume Mascara No. 3 contains nourishing extracts of Organic Jojoba & Wild Rose Oils, which deeply hydrate, allowing flake-free volume throughout the whole day.

Paraben-free and

Heavy-metal-free formula

Rinses off with a mild cleanser

Ideal even for very sensitive eyes as well as contact lens wearers

I also received the Lip Gloss No. 4 Transparent – Lavera Organic Mineral Lip Gloss, which I gave to my youngest daughter, the new college graduate. The 20-Something crowd just loves lip gloss, and this one add shimmer & an anti-aging Sun protection.
