The 10 Best Mascaras According to Elle Magazine

If you had to have only one makeup for the rest of your life.  Or say you had to leave everything you own except take just one makeup item with you, what would it be? Lipstick? Lip gloss?  Facial Powder?  According to Megan Cahn, the writer of the article I read on Elle.com who believes that most women makeup of choice would be the mascara.  So she has, with the help of beauty editors and staff from Elle Magazine, put together the 10 best mascaras there is out there for us women. How nice of her curvy divas!

Of the ten selections she has made. I have chosen my three (3) favorite.  I haven't used any of these before and will definitely put the ones I like on my want list for this year!

The mascara that looks so fake (but your lashes are real)!

"The 'They're Rea' mascara is so good, it looks like you're wearing fake eyelashes"! This according to Leah Chernikoff.  Hmmm, no you see why this is one of my three favorites?! Who wouldn't want their lashes to look full and gorgeous?!

Maybelline's Colossal Volume Mascara
Senior News Editor Sarah Holmes said she loves Maybelline's Colossal Volume mascara because it gives her thick, clump free lashes.  I like my eyelashes to be volumnous and I dislike clumps. They always makes me feel as if I'm going blind! Have that ever happened to you?  Mental note that this will be the next mascara I purchase.



Diorshow Iconic Overcurl Mascara
The look of this mascara is aesthetically pleasing to me.  I like that it has a curved wand which means my lashes will be coated with lots of love!lol! No seriously, Fashion Editor Danielle Prescod has used the Diorshow brand and loves it because she can put a lot of it on and not have goob of it on her lashes.  I definitely want to try it.

I love this list and will definitely keep it as a reference guide. Do let me know if you found this helpful, or not.  Follow the link  to find out which were the other seven on the list of the 10 best mascaras.

Another post of mine that was a write up for Orlando Fashion Week Magazine.  It was published there previously.  If you missed it, I'm sharing it again here on my blog for the first time, with some edits for relevance of course curvy divas. A writer's work is never done! Let me know which celebrity wore your favorite style! Did you watch last year's AMAs? Me too!  It was one of the best with my favorite Mr. Worldwide, Pitbull as host.  Did you catch the fashion that walked the red carpet?  No? Well, pull up a chair and I'll fill you in. At the 2012 award show, Christina Aguilera was beautiful in all her curvyness in a Pamella Roland dress, unfortunately, she went overboard on the suntan lotion.  Last year, she showed off a much leaner physique in a white Maria Lucia Hohan cut-out dress with a high split on the side.  Her shoes were Christian Louboutin peep-toe and I loved her pave jewelry.

Fashionistas - What's in a Word

You have heard this word before curvy divas , "Fashionistas"?  When it comes to anything to do with fashion and being fashionable, I am sure you have!  Do you know who coined the word and how it came about?  Well, first of all I didn't even realized that there was a story to the word, much less it being "coined" by any one particular person!  I just thought it was one of those words that came about and became popular because of its usage and in reference to anything fashion! According to Elle.com's Culture News, in an article by Rebecca Moss , the word Fashionistas was first created by Stephen Fried. In 1993, Fried, a young Journalist was writing a book about the Model Gia Carangi, who died very young, (sidenote-have you seen the [autobiography] movie of the same name, Gia? - I did and it is one to watch)!  Stephen met with people in the Industry and wanted a word that would represent who and what they were.  Because models and the Industry weren't p...
