It’s Makeup Monday! I love makeup that is simple to apply yet makes a big difference in my look. I’m so excited to introduce you to one of my favorite Younique products: Moodstruck 3D Fiber Lashes.

With Moodstruck                          Without

Long, lush eyelashes are associated with femininity, beauty, sex appeal and good health.  What woman doesn't want gorgeous lashes to frame the windows to their soul?  Younique's 3D Fiber Lashes go on like mascara yet increases your lashes 300%.  Never worry about skimpy lashes or dangerous eyelash extensions again!  A friend of mine introduced me to this mascara and I was instantly hooked- I'll never, ever go back to regular mascara!  I love that it is made from natural ingredients and is gluten-free. This mascara is safe for contact lens wearers and washes off easily with cleanser and warm water.

A lot of people apply 3D Fiber Lashes over a light coat of their regular mascara, but I have found that I just use an extra coat of the transplanting gel as a base… The ingredients are so amazing that I’m convinced that my own lashes have gotten longer and healthier over the past several months!

Each kit comes with two tubes: the transplanting gel in one tube and the fibers in the other. For daily wear, like work or running errands, I usually just wear one coat of the 3D Fiber Lashes. I apply two coats for an evening out and I find that is plenty. I have a few friends who wear three coats when they want a very dramatic look, but I find that I look a bit like a “lady of the night” that way ;-) My hubby doesn’t seem to have a problem with that look, but it’s a bit much for me when my eyelashes get caught in my bangs when I blink. New world problems, right?!

How to apply… It’s sooo easy!

Younique says each tube will last 3 months, but I’m pretty sure that means if you use multiple coats a day because my tubes last me a lot longer! (Yes, I know you are supposed to replace your mascara every 3 months but I don’t, blah blah blah, so shoot me!

Still not convinced? Here are some before and after pics of real, live Younique users:

How to get my groove back?

Hemingway compared confronting the blank page to "staring down the bull." Today is my official first day back at the keyboard and I have to say, I don't feel as though I'm staring at anything as lively as a bull. It's more like staring into this void--cold, unfeeling and mocking in its emptiness. I can feel the rust clogging up gears of creativity that once whizzed along at lightning speed. Though I know I've gone through periods of inactivity before, I can't help but wonder: Will I ever get my writing groove back? Yes, I'm more than willing to try a tryst with a twenty-one year old Caribbean love god (hey, that's how Stella did it!), I think I'm going to have to try some good, old-fashioned writing exercises to thaw the icicles on my freezer-burned storytelling skills. I have a few tried and true methods, but any and all suggestions are welcome. Okay, all you writers out there: How do you get your groove back after a hiatus?

Cheers,
Cindy

Back from outer space

What a long strange fall and winter it's been. Had to take a little hiatus from writing due to personal reasons, but fortunately, my life seems to be back it's usual controlled chaos (instead to the months of just plain chaos I've recently endured).

Thanks for everyone's patience and support while I've been out of touch. I'm back and ready to get naughty again.

And just in case you missed it, I do have a recent release titled TROUBLE IN PARADISE. Check it out at Ellora's Cave today :)
