How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Vasanti – Fixing My Ugly Day

in Uncategorized on 09/26/11

Have you ever had one of those days where from the moment you get up you just know it’s going to be an ugly day?  The kids don’t co-operate, the oatmeal burns, and that glimpse you just caught of yourself in the mirror. Shiver.

I was having one of those days, one of those super I look deeessgusting days, and thought, today would be a fabulous day to give some new beauty products sent to me by a friend a little spin.  Today would be a true test.

Farah of FacesbyFarah is an adorable Make-Up artist and knows her stuff.  She sent me some products from Vasanti Cosmetics and asked me to give them a try. 

The first product I put on was the Brazilian Bronzer.  I have to tell you bronzer is something that I rely on quite heavily because I avoid foundation.  I liked that bronzer!  It added a nice healthy glow to that sad looking face in the mirror.  Vbrazilian_flat_cutThe second product I tested was the Mount Rushmore Eyeshadow Duo.  First I have to tell you, I LOVE the packaging.  It is a sleek little silver box that is small enough to fit in the teeniest of clutches.  I like small.  Then the colours. Love again.  A shimmery silvery taupe and the richest of plums.

I am not a make-up artist, but am pretty sure these colours made my green eyes pop!  Guess what I also realized at this point in my experimenting, the smile that had been very absent from my morning, she was back.

Since I was now feeling the pretty, it was time to try the Vasanti long lash mascara.  I am usually a mascara snob.  I end up with the top brands with the biggest of price tags.

This mascara in it’s sleek silver tube beat many of those brands!  I adore it. Longer lashes?  Oh yes.  No clumping, no lumping, just beautiful length. 

In summary.  I am so thankful to Farah for pointing me in the Vasanti Cosmetics direction.  These products can be found on Amazon.com as well as select Shoppers Drug Marts and Rexall Pharma Plus’ .  Vasanti’s website ships Internationally.    

Thanks Farah:)

      Hmm, I can SO relate to this, and want to check this make up now. I need a make over!

      I can definitely relate to the first part of this post. Sometimes not even makeup will help. (Although it almost always helps). 🙂

      I’ve never tried bronzer before. I can’t believe it. I need to! But I’m not a mascara snob. I’ll use drugstore everything!

      I know exactly what you are talking about. Days like that are perfect for playing with makeup.
