Back in October when A Girl’s Gotta Spa! had its 4 year blogiversary party in New York City, Andrea Pomerantz Lustig from Glamour and I had lunch with Purple Lab’s Creatrix, Karen Robinovitz. (Of course in full disclosure, if you know me and have read this blog long enough, you know that Karen is a friend and someone I work with.) While sitting across from her, we both couldn’t help but remark on her eyelashes. Andrea and I agreed that we thought she was wearing false lashes. And with a big grin Karen explained to us that it was her new eyelash product that would be debuting on HSN in February and she kept hush hush on the details. So I waited with baited breath for the launch.
The night Purple Lab took to HSN, I immediately placed my order online.Â
Lashionista Modelista is yet another double duty beauty product, as are the rest of the products in the Purple Lab makeup line. One end of the tube is a liquid eyeliner with diamond dust and the other end is a tubing mascara. The liquid liner glides on with its felt tip applicator. The diamond dust is mixed in with the formula and is not clumpy. I love the glimmer it gives and it is that extra oomph that make you look like a starlette.
If you are not familiar with tubing mascara, it is not the typical mascara formula where you are prone to smudging and flaking. It looks like regular mascara on the wand and applies looking the same, the only difference is that once on your lashes it bonds itself forming a tube around your lashes. No, it’s not heavy and you won’t look like you are wearing little tubes (and yes people have asked me because they’ve never used tubing mascara.) This also means that if you fell asleep with this mascara on, you won’t wake up finding it all over pillow or your face.
Here is the before and after (can you say dramatic?):
So what do you think?
Lashionista Modelista is available on www.PurpleLabNYC.com and www.HSN.com/purplelab. And stayed tuned to new products launching this summer!
