\"Mascara<\/p>\n

*Giveaway is now closed*<\/p>\n

I have always loved using natural products, but I have to say, you have got to find the right brands for a quality product. Yes, I\u2019m overjoyed that this or that makeup is natural, but is it long wearing, good coverage, looks natural, and won\u2019t drip off my face if I happen to sweat?<\/p>\n

So I\u2019m on a mission to find some good quality products. I\u2019m determined to slowly replace all my makeup with natural versions as I run out of product.<\/p>\n

Not too long ago, I was perusing one of our local health food stores and I noticed that they had a new brand of makeup in. Fascinated, I grabbed a pamphlet and left the store. Once home, I looked the company up online and was super interested. I contacted them and they were more than happy to spread the word about their company and sent me a Benecos Maxium Volume Mascara <\/a>to try out! Not only that, they\u2019re going to send one of you a tube of their mascara too!<\/p>\n

I was super excited to try it and took photos of the before and after.<\/p>\n

Please, please realize that this is in the morning and after a horrible, short night’s sleep. When I\u2019m really tired my one eyelid droops. It\u2019s kind of funky quirk of mine. Feel special you know about it.<\/p>\n

I came to the conclusion I love this mascara! Like most mascaras, you can build on it by letting it dry in between coats. However, in the photos, it\u2019s just one coat (nice, right?). For a more dramatic effect, don’t forget to curl your eyelashes beforehand! I love the deep black colour and the glossy look it gave my lashes. After it was dry, it didn’t flake like I’ve noticed some mascaras do. Additionally, although it wasn\u2019t waterproof, it acted like it was. That\u2019s a bonus for me. You know, just in case something moves me emotionally at some random moment.<\/p>\n

There was only one thing I didn\u2019t like about it\u2026if you get any of the product in your eye it stings. Most of you don\u2019t have a problem with this\u2026I\u2019m just a klutz. Minor problem. I’m really excited about trying more of their products in my quest to clean up my makeup bag! You need to check out Love True Naturals site<\/a> and see all the amazing stuff they have!<\/p>\n
