ArianneUpdated on November 5, 2018November 5, 2018

Let all nature say, “Amen!” One of the biggest cosmetics brands in the industry dropped a beauty bomb today that will forever change the philosophy; as well as development of every future product they will have coming out. The rumors are true about CoverGirl Cruelty Free policy going into full effect IMMEDIATELY!

Therefore, how did this come about? Additionally, what changes will occur and begin to roll out now? Read on to find out!

Makeup News: CoverGirl Cruelty Free FINALLY! Leaping Bunny Certified

Remember this date dolls. November 15, 2018 CoverGirl officially made a move towards helping to eliminate the cruel practice of animal testing. Furthermore, the brand wants to let their consumers know that they are more committed than ever to produce amazing products humanely and still at a high quality.

In regards to their changing ways CoverGirl released the following statement:

“We took the leap! Beauties we have MAJOR news. CoverGirl does not test on animals and now we’re Leaping Bunny certified by Cruelty Free International. Which means we’re Cruelty Free across ALL our products, EVERYWHERE we’re sold!

All we can say is wow. Will this news spark a chain reaction for other big brands to follow suit? Well, time will only tell. Nevertheless, CoverGirl’s big product formulation changes at least help to pave the way that it can be done without affecting sales. Since let’s face it, in this world to major companies it is all about the money, hunny.

Applying Mascara: Pumping Mascara Out of Bottle

Alicia SuggsUpdated on February 20, 2017February 20, 2017Leave a Comment

Beauty Tip-To pump or not to pump that is the real question! Applying mascara can give your eyes a major pop, but there’s something that many girls do that can turn into a real ugly problem! No matter what ladies NEVER PUMP your mascara. Instead scroll on to learn a really easy tip for rectifying this issue. Nevertheless, why do we do it in the first place? What is the deal with pumping mascara out of a bottle anyway?

Applying Mascara: Pumping Mascara Out of Bottle

Well to make things simple, most women engage in some pumping action in order to place more product onto the mascara product’s wand. Usually this becomes necessary when a mascara is a little older and not so much formula seems to make its way out anymore. Girls think by vigorously pumping they will save time and get more formula out the bottle.

Nonetheless, whether your mascara is old or not you just should not pump at all when applying mascara. Pumping a wand in and out actually works against your desired result for two reasons. For one, the air that gets trapped inside the bottle dries out the liquid inside. Also, you could force in bacteria as well as cause your mascara to clump and flake. Can you say yuck?

Moreover, in the long run this can result in spending more money from having to buy mascara much sooner than otherwise expected. Therefore, to avoid this what should be done? Is there any makeup trick that can be utilized to get more product out without drying out what’s inside?

To get more quantity (mascara formula) onto the mascara brush simply twirl the brush. Yes dolls just twirl those wands inside the bottle like you are Gone with the Wind fabulous! However, to avoid forcing unwanted air into the bottle, simply give the wand a nice and easy 90 degrees twirl before pulling it out.

As you can see applying mascara doesn’t have to eventually cause a potential beauty disaster. Just do the twist with your wand. Twirling will lessen the amount of trapped air so that you can create a nice separated, voluminous look.

Covergirl So Lashy Mascara One Product For All Lashes

Arianne SuggsUpdated on December 2, 2016December 2, 2016Leave a Comment

Covergirl So Lashy Mascara is like nothing you have ever seen before. In the world of mascara product formulas have been changed and the size as well as shape of the mascara wand has gone thicker or slimmer. Nevertheless, Covergirl cosmetics just leveled up by developing a ball tip design.

Covergirl So Lashy Mascara One Product For All Lashes

At first glance this particular product looks like it would put an eye out quicker than create glam eyelashes. However, we assure you that So Lashy is truly ingenious. Regarding its newest mascara Covergirl had this to say,

“Ever have a friend rave about a mascara, but when you try it your lashes look less than 100? Covergirl hears you loud and clear, so we designed new So Lashy Mascara, the mascara for every lash type. The unique brush grabs, sculpts, and molds short, sparse, long, straight, whatever lashes – for one end look that is bold, sexy and everything you want. Bold sexy lashes for all equals Lash Equality.”

So then, it does not matter what type of lashes you were naturally blessed with because So Lashy can make them even more beautiful. A true blessing in beauty disguise. However, back to the ball tip, why add that to a wand? Covergirl once again gave an answer by breaking down the mechanics of the entire wand stating,

“So Lashy Mascara was designed for all lash types. On the short side? The bristles lengthen. Set with straight? The arched rows of bristles lift. Anywhere in between? The ball tip will grab even the hardest to reach lashes, ensuring you that bold + sexy look you crave.”

Covergirl So Lashy Mascara

Therefore, the ball tip is more like a lash finder. It can be used vertically as well as horizontally to get even the tiniest lashes to act right. Moreover, the tint of the Covergirl So Lashy Mascara is just as trans-formative. The deep, dark formula will make your eyelashes look more pronounced and readily visible.

Oh yeah! Last perk of this product is that it is waterproof! Look great in various weather conditions and get long lasting wear. Want So Lashy? Get yours now for less than $10 by going here.
