Lash Stiletto Mascara

Filed under: Cosmetics, Product Reviews, Beauty Tips

Annie Scott with Maybelline Lash StilettoWe love the name of Maybelline's latest mascara - Lash Stiletto. All mascaras are different; some make lashes longer, some make them fuller, some add conditioners, sparkle, color ... we decided to try this one out and see what it did. We really loved the natural, flirty results!

Annie Scott and CoverGirl's Lashblast Luxe MascaraOnce again, we bring you the product review that counts: We actually put the stuff on our faces and take pictures.

L'Oreal Paris Double Extend Tubes Mascara - StyleFail

Filed under: Cosmetics, Product Reviews

l'oreal paris double extend tubesWe totally wish we could afford Latisse, the the eyelash wonder drug that gives you longer, darker, fuller lashes. Since we can't, plus we're a little chicken when it comes to vanity medical procedures, we headed down to Walgreen's to pick up L'Oreal Paris Double Extend Beauty Tubes Mascara, which claims to make your lashes 80% longer. For the bargain price of $7.99 (vs. $120/month for Latisse) we figured we couldn't lose. We were wrong.

Lancome Oscillation: Vibrating mascara?!

Filed under: Cosmetics, Product Reviews, Beauty Tips

There are a lot of weird things you can do to your eyelashes.

We've heard of people using hairdryers on spoons to curl lashes, tattooing black between lashes, crazy-colored mascara, and I personally tested out a heated eyelash curler from Artemis Woman.

But this? This is crazy talk. That little wriggle you do at the base of your lashes to make the mascara stick? The new Lancome Oscillation brush does that for you, 7,000 times per minute.

The Lancome Oscillation will be available October 22nd. If you want to be reminded, and be the first to know where to purchase, sign up here.

Lauren Conrad's black tear: Starting a trend?

Filed under: Cosmetics, Celebrity Fashion Mistakes, Beauty Tips


Last week was hard, wasn't it Lauren? We're ready to talk about it.

It seems that all this fighting between Lo and Audrina has been getting to you, all the way to your dear blackened soul. And so floweth the Pierrot-esque black tears.

Audrina was guilty, too:

Forget mascara - Stain your lashes!

Filed under: Cosmetics

Good news for light-lashed ladies -- Tarte has come out with a 4 Day Stay Lash Stain, so you can dye your lashes at home and reap the benefits of naturally dark-looking eye fringe for more than half a week!

While this might not be a huge deal to those of us with fairly dark eyelashes to begin with -- if you're only concerned with curl and volume, this probably isn't a product for you. However, we know how frustrating it is for women who have the really light, nearly transparent lashes to have long, dark lashes one moment, and then look completely different after jumping in the pool, or if you catch them first thing in the morning before applying mascara.

Of course, you could always have your lashes professionally dyed, but this seems like a much easier option, and it's just $18 at Sephora. What do you think?

Tip of the day: Givenchy's Phenomen'Eyes Mascara

Filed under: Cosmetics, Style Tip of the Day


We almost found the laziest mascara ever. Almost.

Givenchy's Phemonen'Eyes Masacara has an innovative spherical design built specifically get those little pain in the ass hard to reach lashes. It is also made for all eye shapes – whatever that means. Regardless, it promises big results for such a little sphere. We're perplexed.

If only this baby spun and did all the work for us, we'd be in heaven.

Neutrogena large ultra-soft eye makeup remover pads are gigantic

Filed under: Cosmetics, Skin Care


We've been known to skip that whole "wash your face before going to bed" more than once, despite with the resulting mascara modern art pillows.

Rather than switch to black sheets, we decided to try out these Neutrogena Ultra-Soft Eye Makeup Remover Pads, thinking that a novel product would inspire us, no matter how tired or you know, boozed up we might be.

The first thing we noticed is that the jar is telling the truth. They are both soft and large. Very large. So large that they were awkward to use under our eyes and it was impossible to swipe away wayward flecks of mascara without taking off all of our mascara and under eye concealer and starting over.

There was just more pad than we needed, even to clear off a heavy night of going out makeup. We even considered cutting them in half, to make them last longer and be less wasteful.

They work great, and they are super, super soft on our delicate eyes, but so far they haven't inspired us to be more diligent in our bedtime routine. We'll probably stick with the equally effective, smaller/less wasteful seeming, and less expensive Almay Oil Free Makeup Remover Pads we usually use the morning after.

Tip of the day: Cult classics

Filed under: Cosmetics, Style Tip of the Day


Sephora recently released an email that spelled out 8 of their best cult classics. In case you don't know, a cult classic is, in the most basic sense, a product that once it's tried, the user is immediately obsessed. A small community or "cult" forms around these products. Individuals cannot stop raving about the product for years after their first encounter. If you've ever had one of these episodes, you know what we're talking about.

Best of all, most cult classics are often top quality yet completely affordable. Does it get any better?

Check out Sephora's cult picks.

Quick Kit: help a new mom feel pretty

Filed under: Cosmetics, Kids and Babies


If anyone deserves a little something to boost her up, it's a new mom. The long nights, interrupted sleep, and crazy hormones drag you down, and those dark circles would make anyone feel less than pretty.

Of course a crying baby means no time for elaborate makeup or beauty rituals. We have lots of friends with babies and they all say the same thing: "Love the baby, hate how tired I look! Help!"

We have just the thing: a 60 second quick kit with our best perk-you-up makeup secret weapons. So small it can fit in the corner of a baby bag, so portable you can pull it out in your car, at the airport or anywhere you need a quick confidence booster.

Crazy cravings: Shiseido Dick Page summer collection kit at Sephora

Filed under: Cosmetics


Maybe it's the magic words "limited edition" or that it has the word "summer" in the name, but we're totally having to fight the urge to spend $126 on this Shiseido make up kit.

Shiseido Artistic Director Dick Page put this palette together, and the description on Sephora.com is filled with glowy-this and shimmery-that. Plus the kit comes with blotting papers. And directions! So much neat new stuff to play with.

Be okay, we must admit that the yellow and green eyeshadows would probably look kind of scary on most people, including us.

Plus, we're pretty sure we can pick up bronzer, mascara, lipstick and a couple of kooky colored eyeshadows down at Walgreens for under $30. It wouldn't come in a neat-o case, but it might get us out of these early summer make up doldrums, and save $100.

Tip of the day: Best drugstore mascaras

Filed under: Cosmetics, Celebrities with Style, Style Tip of the Day


Over the last decade that we've been wearing makeup (yeah we had one of those dad's that forbid it until we were 16... laaaaame), we have probably tested every single mascara available at our local drugstore – no kidding. We had a great time testing over the years, particularly during a brief period of CVS employment that was strictly for the cosmetic discount. It was basically a crazed 2 month makeup rampage... ahhh the memories.

So after all of this time, we are pleased to share our findings with you.

Would you dye your eyelashes?

Filed under: Cosmetics


We looove long, dark, sexy eyelashes. Love them, love them, love them. We have no qualms about layering on the mascara, or even using false lashes should the occasion call for it. In fact, if we had the funds, we would probably be devotees of eyelash extensions. However, when we read about dying our eyelashes, we were a little surprised.
