New Sisley So Volume Is #Lashgoals!

This week was National Lash Day that is observed annually on February 19. The reason why I didn’t post it on the actual day was the passing of Karl Lagerfeld. So what do we celebrate on that day? Very simple… our love and need for true and false eyelashes, a day we honor our lashes that are a key staple to every makeup look and beauty enthusiast. Moreover eyelashes are essential for our health, as they help keep dirt or substances from entering our eyes and aid in preventing infections.

Billions of mascaras are sold every year at counters and department stores around the world. For obvious reasons, lashes have always been known to make your eyes pop and stand out from the crowd. It might be the simplest make-up step, but it makes all the difference.

My avid readers know that I am a huge fan of the thickening and strengthening Mascara So Intense, and my daughter loves the curling Mascara So Curl, but now comes a new product by Sisley’s Laboratories: So Volume. An ultra-volumizing mascara that gives an oversize effect while making eyelashes denser, stronger and more beautiful day after day.

Here are some facts why this mascara is so special and makes XXL sweeping lashes:

1.  For the first time, Sisley has combined two types of volumizing (Polymeric microbeads and Silica microspheres) to coat and thicken lashes, giving them instant, uniform volume from root to tip. They are covered in a sheathing Carnauba wax film to produce a sculptural, curled effect.
Meanwhile the volumizing polymer creates an enveloping, film-forming texture that intensely boosts lashes and enhances the volume effect.

2. The So Volume formula incorporates a cocktail of beneficial active ingredients that acts on both the lash and the root to give stronger, longer, denser, more beautiful and resistant lashes after just four weeks of use. With the help of a Vitamin peptide formed of three amino acids and Vitamin H, lashes are visibly longer and thicker. Great news is that it also helps to boost their anchorage (in-vitro test on the active ingredient), preventing eyelash loss during make-up removal. Due to the toning and revitalizing action of Arginine, it even promotes follicle growth.

3. The professional brush is extra-large for an easy application to achieve increased volume in a few seconds from the very first coat.

Do I need to convince you more? A make-up step that is actually a beauty treatment for your lashes. The new So Volume mascara from Sisley is #LASHGOALS!

My personal feedback: So Volume works best when I only apply mascara due to its amazing clump-free and flake-free 3-D effect. It is a great product for an every day make-up. Lashes become more dense and revitalized, more beautiful day after day.

For a smokey eyes look, I still prefer my So Intense as I adore how precisely lashes are defined. I personally also prefer the slim brush. In general, Sisley mascaras are the best on the market, it is up to you which one you prefer… and I am not getting paid for saying this!

So Volume is available in three shades: Deep Black / Deep Blue / Deep Brown
CHF 62.00

Mariah Carey, «songbird supreme», has once again teamed up with M·A·C Cosmetics for a second holiday-themed makeup collection. The singer has dazzled us with her songs and timeless contributions to music for decades and now brings her extraordinary glamour for the second time to an iconic makeup collection with M·A·C that’s all you’ll ever want. After a successful 2015 partnership, Carey and M·A·C are ready for round two and we are, too.

Needless to say, there is plenty of glitter incorporated into the collection itself, which includes many beautiful sparkeling products that I can absolutely recommend for the festive season. I am anyway a «smokey eyes – nude lips» type of girl and Mariah Carey x M·A·C offers everything I adore.
