Subject #1: The Smokey Eye...

| Ok, apart from being in Twilight, she still has killer eye make-up! |

The "smokey eye" has been a staple in beauty for years. Smokey eyes to me stand for this sultry, sexy, and mysterious woman that we all want to feel like. I for one, have never perfected this art... I always end up looking like a raccoon are a little girl playing in her mom's make-up drawer. However, the other day I was walking around Wal Mart and walked past a new product by Cover Girl! I had read recently in a magazine about this new product they had just launched - they are called "Smokey Shadow Blasts". They come in an array of colors and cost about $8 at Wal Mart. Well, Cover Girl must know that I have no clue, because they even have a whole set that comes with the eye shadow stick, a liquid eye liner pen and a mascara! The kit also comes with a fold-out set of instructions and was about $16.

| This is the set I bought in Natural. |
How could you go wrong with that? (I will warn you, I think I picked the only kit that looked good with my complexion. Most of the colors were a little strange, so I bought a natural set.) So, I tried out the kit. It's super easy to put on and is very easy to blend. My only recommendation is to purchase an non-creasing eye shadow base of some sort, because the shadow was definitely creasing by the end of the day!

| I use this lovely shadow in Bunny. You can get it at Sephora :) |
When I wore it at night, or for special occasions, I were it darker, but like I said before, it's super easy to blend if you feel it's too dark.
So, secondly on my list....
Have you seen the new Goody Spin-Pins? They claim to do the work of 20 bobby pins... Now, I have a lot of hair. I am the girl known to where about 30 bobby-pins in my hair just to get a bun going. So, I tried these! They come in two colors and you can also pick them up at Wal Mart for like, $5 or something? They are great! They literally spin right into your bun! Whether you want a tight bun, a loose romantic style, or I even pin my hair half up and half down if it's getting in the way. They work really well, however, if you have thin, super-straight hair, they can be a little more tricky! They work best for me when I let my hair go curly... Let's just say this is one item in my make-up bag that is always missing because it's in my sister's hair!
