Check out a TikTok of the E.l.f. tubing mascara in action. 

I can confirm that it STAYS put on my lashes until I want it gone. (Even the best of waterproof mascaras make me look like a raccoon after a few hours.) Then, it’s super easy to remove the “tubes” with a few gentle swipes. I’ll be buying this stuff again and as long as they make it. 

Here’s Emma Lord‘s review that convinced me: 

“I am not a new human to the tubing mascara game, and in fact readily spent $26 on the famous OG blend from Blinc every time it needed replacing. I didn’t even love it for the length half as much as the fact that tubing mascara like this genuinely never smudges, but can I just say — regardless of price, the E.l.f. tubing mascara formula blows all the others I’ve tried out of the water. It gives me way more length and volume than other brands, slides on so much more easily, stays put ALL day, and never, ever smudges. My favorite part, though, is how gently and easily it comes off with soap and water. In the past, other mascara removals have felt rough on my lashes, but this comes off so fast that I’m like ??? was I even wearing mascara a minute ago?? Anyway, I hesitate even writing this review because I want to gatekeep the hell out of this before it sells out, but the world needed to know. I’m a big fan of the brown shade (which is what I’m wearing above!), but it also comes in black and soft black.” 

Get it from Amazon for $7 (available in three shades).

Hi, hi! I’m finally back home after two weeks of travel and slowly slipping back into a normal routine. Or trying to! Today I am bringing you the 17th edition of little things to love. This one is a good one!

MASCARA TO LOVE

My hunt for the perfect mascara began when my favorite product was discontinued with no signs of returning. I have found a few that have been close, but not perfect. This mascara I recently tried is BY FAR the closest I have found to date. I am in love. It is thickening, easy to build, and lasts!

THATCH CHARMS

These arrived this week and I knew I had to include them in this post. I am super into adding charms to everything – including chains with charms I already have. These are such a great addition. You can shop them here, here, here, and here. Stay tuned for more styling!

SOME NEW BEAUTY

I have my tried and true favorites, but am always experimenting with newness to add to my beauty rotation. Recently I received this creme and this foaming cleanser and have been incredibly impressed. They each made the trip with me to NYC and Prague and I loved how they made skin feel skin feel – even while traveling!

A HAIR MASK

Recently I tried a few Coco & Eve products and this hair mask stood out. As you know, I have had quite the journey with my hair and I am always on the hunt for items that will keep it healthy and strong. This mask passed the test (get 15% off with BLAIRE15). Also, this is a helpful reminder of the order for hair care products!
