This has been a very busy week. My children started school and that in it of itself is always stressful. The silver lining in this scenario is, I have gained some much needed time to myself. I had time to carefully apply my makeup without any interruptions, it’s the little things in life that make me happy. Admittedly, I do miss my eldest son’s commentaries and photographic assistance.
This week’s look was centered around my lashes. Truthfully, I never gave them much thought, until Mary Kay Lash Love Lengthening Mascara came into my life. The delivery of zero flaking, no clumps, no stiffness all wrapped-up in a lightweight formula was enough for me to declare, love at first application! I hope you find this post helpful.

THE VERDICT: If makeup could talk what would it say?
Makeup would tell you if you have some time to yourself, do what brings you the most joy. Just think in a year from now, events/people/things which gave us the most stress presently, will be a fleeting memory. A lesson I remind myself of everyday. Don’t sweat the small stuff and try to appreciate all the positive fortune surrounding you. It’s there I promise. Be well and stay safe.
