To achieve maximum coverage when applying mascara simply jiggle the wand in a zigzag motion as you apply from the base to the tips of your lashes. This results in more mascara coating the lashes.

Designer Brands Chubby Lipstick Crayon in Enchanted Rose
I have always wanted to try the Clinique Chubby Sticks but never wanted to pay the high price tag. So thank you Designer Brands for coming up with your own version for me to try!
There are four shades in their wind-up Chubby range - Dollface, Guava Kiss, Kiss and Tell and Enchanted Rose. I purchased 411 Enchanted Rose.
Colour: It is a dusty pink colour.
Pigmentation: Covers like a lipstick, 7/10.
Application: It is easy to apply - much easier than applying a lipstick. It's more like you are applying a lip gloss.
Texture: Smooth, creamy and hydrating.
Longevity: It was 4 hours before I had to re-apply.
Packaging: Standard DB black packaging with silver writing.
Price: $7.99.
Overall: I really can't fault anything about this product. I love the colour, easy application, texture and its longevity. I was also pleasantly surprised by its pigmentation.

Fitness: My Home Workout
Today was a 3.98km run/walk/workout around Lake Monger.
When I say run/walk it's because I can't run the whole distance - yet!
When I say it's a run/walk/workout it's because there are workout stations positioned alongside of the path where you can stop and work your arms, legs and abs.
There will eventually be iPhone and Android apps so you can track your goals as you are working out (calico.com.au). Until then I am using RunKeeper to track time, distance and calories burned.
August Empties
I have learned that there is nothing more satisfying than finishing a beauty product.
As I have a countless number of beauty products I have put aside and forgotten I thought it's about time I did my own monthly 'empties' posts. Besides if you, like me, love to read other bloggers 'empties' posts then why not, right??
So here is what I managed to finish up for the month of August. It's not much but now there are four less items cluttering my shower!
Redken All Soft Shampoo: I also had the conditioner but that was used up yonks ago. Not really a favourite of mine. Probably won't purchase it again.
Redken Body Full Shampoo: This is a product I would buy again. It left my hair clean (but not squeaky) and feeling light. Out of all the volume shampoos I have used this one gets the vote from me!
Redken Body Full Light Conditioner: Again it gets my vote. It's not a heavy conditioner but it does its job.
Palmolive Naturals Shower Milk: When I bought this shower milk I was looking for a cheap shower gel. This one was $2.00 for 250ml from the Reject Shop in Perth. I have a love/hate relationship with the fragrances of the Palmolive shower gels - they all seem to smell the same to me.
Clarins Moisture-Rich Body Lotion: This was part of a gift with purchase that I received about 2 years ago. I really don't like using highly fragrant beauty products and this is one product that is and that's why it has taken me so long to use it. The one thing I do like about it though is the richness of the cream.

Active Tan Self-Tanning Wipes
After talking about the Natio tanning wipes in a recent post I found these bad boys in Gloss. You get 20 self-tanning wipes for $6.95 so if they produce a good tan then they are much better value.
So, do they produce a good tan? Yes. I used them just the other night for the tops of my legs. No streaking and a natural looking tan. Easy!
I will be buying these again.
Have you used these self-tanning wipes? If so, what did you think of them?
