YES! "They're REAL!" - Guest Post!

3 letters. O-M-G.

Ladies, if this mascara by Benefit doesn't teeter your totter - then there's probably no hope for you.

Not trying to paint a "Van-Gogh" for you guys, but seriously take it from me- i'm a tough crowd when it comes to mascara.

While not everything in life is all rainbows and butterflies, the wand of this mascara was seriously created by Jesus Christ himself. I can usually tell if the mascara is going to suck or not by looking at the wand alone, and this one passed the test, hands down. The wand is big, thick, and the bristles are magical. I'm not gonna get scientific with you guys, im more whimsical with words, anyways.

"They're Real!" by Benefit is "beyond mascara." It gives you a night time lash within 2 strokes. By the time I was finished applying, my eyelashes touched my eyebrows!!!! Definitely a more "London" look- it is great for a night out on the town- or a night in on the couch with a nice shot of tequila in hand. Mascara should make you feel sultry and sexy, and "They're Real!" will without a doubt flip your pancake in that department. Same effect as falsies, but they aren't! Which makes it that much better.

When I used it for the first time, being the crude skeptic that I am, I definitely thought that the "cons" would outweigh the "pros"- but the second time I used it, that thought went away. Its the kinda mascara that grows on you... LITERALLY.

It is a bit gummy, so i don't suggest it for an "everyday" use- but definitely the "go-to" mascara for special occasions. It makes your eyes POP and will give you the "BAM, IM HERE BITCHES" attitude.

The proof is in the pudding people, so try it. NOW!

Young Stars Who Have Killer Makeup!

Kat Graham

I don't know much about her, but in photos she looks fresh, fierce and put together.

I love this look!

Emma Stone

She's adorable, funny, and can have pretty much any hair color and look good.

Emma is a WIN in my book!

Emma Watson

She’s not just the “chick from Harry Potter” anymore.

She’s turned into such a pretty young girl, and I do love her fashion and makeup choices.

Being the spokesmodel for Burberry isn't a bad deal either...

Dakota Fanning

This is what a young starlet SHOULD look like!

Not overdone, very youthful and pretty with just a big of mascara and lip gloss.

Refreshing. And she just landed the new Marc Jacobs Oh, Lola campaign!

Nicki Minaj

I know what you're thinking - another blog post about her?

Yes. Never gets old. Platinum hair, pink lips, lashes.

Check, check and check. Love love love.

Selena Gomez

A cross between pretty and cute, she always looks good!

Selena always looks effortlessly put together, from her makeup, to hair, to clothing

Sorry Bieber fans...

Blue Mascara - The Verdict

Just a touch of blue...

A little twist on the usual eyes

I used:

MAC Haute & Naughty Lash

Lightning Lash in Electric Blue by Femme Couture

Smashbox Eye Beam Double Ended Brightener

What do you guys think? I took my pretty readers' advice, and just put the blue on the bottom lashes. I think it's kinda cute!

Thoughts???

Really Lady?

As most of you know, one of my biggest pet peeves is people who do their entire face of makeup on the morning commute. This lady (yes, real photo) curled her lashes and continued applying mascara for seemingly 20 minutes on the bus this morning. You can’t wake up 3 minutes earlier to do your mascara??? Annoying!!!! Sorry, had to get that out.

LASHDIP?!

I am so intrigued by this! This is from the LASHDIP website:

A revolutionary, new semi-permanent professional lash coat performed exclusively in the finest Spas and Salons

The Future of EYELASH ENHANCEMENT

LashDip is an innovative cosmetic application that is poised to revolutionize the mascara industry. "Dipping" your lashes just once allows you to maintain gorgeous, beautifully sculpted, semi-permanent painted lashes for up to six weeks!

• ♦ Low Maintenance, High Style
• ♦ Wake Up Beautiful
• ♦ Cut Your Makeup Routine In Half
• ♦ No Hassling With Mascara
• ♦ Shower, Swim, Sweat

It's MORE THAN MASCARA

LashDip is more than your typical eyelash color formula — it goes beyond even the most perfect application of mascara to provide color and enhancement you don't have to fight with.

I am the "Lash Queen" (see earlier posts about Latisse) so a mascara coating that could last up to six weeks is very appealing to me. Though I have not heard much about it so I think I should do a little more research before I run to the nearest salon.
