As most of you know, I am not  a fan of Bare Escentuals Mineral Makeup BUT I did get a sample of the BUXOM Mascara and I TOTALLY love it!!  It separates my lashes and extends them nicely – VERY nicely!  The brush grabs my lashes, separates them and makes them longer.  It’s not a thickening mascara as much as it is a lengthening mascara but it does both.  I REALLY like the brush.  At $18 at Sephora, it is a great purchase.  It lasts a long time and on my oily lids, it only starts smudging late in the evening, for most with normal skin, I am sure it would last all day.  I give it a B+.

I used this Fresh skincare set for a good 2 months to give it a fair shot.  Now I have severe allergies to flowers, grass, etc. and also cucumbers.  The facewash has a distinct smell of cucumbers so that should of been my first red flag to stop using it.  The smell was not pleasant – it almost smelled TOO natural.  It really did nothing for my skin, I was very disappointed.  Instead, I just bought Clarin’s Gentle Foaming Cleanser and right now, I am LOVING it (especially with my Clarisonic!) but before I boast about how much I love it, I will give it a few more weeks.  Fresh skincare gets a D from me
