Saturday Stumbles

There's nothing more than I love than a good, lazy Saturday!  And that's just what had on tap...until I started reading Kelly's Show Us Your Life about beauty tips.  Now I have to run out to Ulta to try some of the tips and tricks below!

Here are some of my favorite:

Eye Brightener

This is supposed to brighten your eyes.  I've seen several bloggers recommend these and am dying to try!

Baking Soda...huh?
Yep, that's what I thought.  But Mandy from Mommy Musings recommends using it every once in a while as a teeth whitener.  Genius.  And so much cheaper than those whitening strips!

Flat Iron Curls
 Curling your hair with a straightener? I love how you can use ONE tool for different purposes.  Granted I'm sure this would take some practice, but I think my long hair would love for me to try something new with it other than just straightening it!

...and because what girl couldn't use another super cute bag?

The jealously cute Gussy is giving away two $50 gift cards! 
This is what I want:

Mascara Tip

One of my go to pieces of make up is mascara. It's like the cherry on the top for me. It just sets my look. But it can't be just any mascara...you gotta have the right brush!

It really makes all the difference. Most mascara brushes are designed like this:

The brush make the mascara very clumpy on the brush which in turn ends up clumpy on your lashes.

THIS is the brush I'm in love with.

Instead of a brush, it's almost like plastic bristles. There's less clumping on the brush which means less clumping on your lashes.

This brush is by Cover Girl.  I've used the Lash Blast and Lash Exact.  I like them both!  Seriously, if you're in the market for some new mascara, you need to try these.  Very reasonably priced too at about $7.

This post is just my personal opinion.  I was not paid or provided product to say this...I just love it!
