I am beyond smitten with these night sky-colored eyelashes with star motifs. They will create a fabulous twinkle on the edges of the eyes that will make you the star of ANY party!

shu uemura Mini Star Glitz False Eyelashes are not for the office – unless I guess you work in a very unique sort of company – but can sexy up that little black dress in no time at all.

I used to think funky false eyelashes weren’t for me – I’m a  pretty shy girl – but I was blown away the first time I saw myself in pictures, in them. They will add such sass to your style, you’ll be hooked in no time!

I love this double-ended brightener By Smashbox, it highlights and brightens in one quick step for eyes that will demand far more notice than your 6-hours of sleep and 12-hours in front of the keyboard may feel they deserve.

It’s purse-sized, too, which is a bigger deal than you may think. Droning away at work all day and have a hot date at night, this is a great way for a quick pick-me-up!

Eyelashes are the next beauty must-have for 2009. From the pages of magazines to Hollywood’s red carpet, batting full, luxurious lashes is the latest “It” accessory. No matter how many coats of mascara or layers of extensions we apply, it seems like we can never achieve the look without getting the “Tammy Faye Baker” effect. Mascaras and lash extensions are unforgiving on eyelashes, leaving you with dry, brittle, and damaged lashes. LashFood is a new natural conditioning stimulant for thicker, stronger and more beautiful lashes in just 2 to 4 weeks!

“Many women denote their eyes as their best feature,” says Jane Kim, President and Founder of LashFood. “Long, full eyelashes have always symbolized femininity and exudes Hollywood glamour. For great eyelashes, it used to be either you had them, or you didn’t. Now, with LashFood we can all have captivating eyes like legendary femme fatale Brigitte Bardot and iconic supermodel Twiggy. At LashFood, we provide consumers with the best eyelash care products to enhance their natural beauty.”

LashFood’s breakthrough natural ingredients, including Biotin an essential vitamin, Arginine a natural amino acid, and herbal extracts, helps promote the natural growth and strength of eyelashes and eyebrows. The result: your lashes become thicker, darker, and longer with this revolutionary conditioner!

For the past few months, I’ve been seeing these ads for this new invention called SPINLASH. I’ll be honest, I’ve been thus far too scared of myself, and my inherent klutzdom, to try it. This mascara has a rotating brush that simultaneously separates, organizes, shapes, coats, lengthens and volumizes eyelashes.

Allegedly.

Sounds amazing, right? But I’ve heard the same about hair brushes, and to be honest…they did nothing but cause my skull to feel like it was oddly pulsating. The same could be said for a mild migraine. But I digress.

So I got my hands (and lashes) on SPINLASH to see if the product lives up to the hype. And to my surprise, it did!

SPINLASH uses a rotating rubber brush that simultaneously combs and coats lashes. The motion of the rotating brush is slow and steady, so there’s no need to fear putting this near your eyes. The brush rotates 360 degrees in both directions for upper and lower lashes, and to accommodate right and left-handed users. It comes with either black or brownish black mascara that is safe for contact lens wearers…but the best part about SPINLASH is that you can use it with your favorite mascara! Just use your mascara’s regular brush to apply to the SPINLASH brush…meaning, when the mascara gets used up, you can still have your massively awesome vibrating brush. (Get your head out of the gutter…it’s not for that. I don’t think.)

SPINLASH retails for $14.95 and is available at Target, CVS, Claire’s and other mass retailers nationwide – as well as at SPINLASH.com.

Here’s even better news: I have three Spinlash units to give away! To enter, comment on this post and tell me what your biggest problem with mascara is. Does it always clump when you apply? Do you constantly miss those little lashes in the corners? I’ll choose three winners at random and send them a Spinlash to try. Deadline is January 5.

As you are reading this, I am on a press trip in Los Angeles, and probably having a lot of fun – but as I’m WRITING this – I’m super stressed out trying to get done with my projects before heading out.

Clearly, I need to chill out…and in doing so, I’m going to help all of you mend your own damage as well. I also need to deal with this red-eye situation before people think I have a whole OTHER sort of problem.

Applying mineral powder foundation

Jo’s how-to tip: A great trick that I love is to use two of these mineral powder foundations to give a subtle, natural looking contour to the face. Use the skin-tone matching powder for the base to matte down the face; then add contour by dusting on powder in a slightly darker shade around hair line, slightly below the cheek bone, and lift the face to pat onto the bottom of the cheek and neck line. The Rimmel London Lasting Finish Mineral Powder Foundation is really light, so it doesn’t build up and can be layered for a really natural look.

Go glam

Jo’s how-to tip: Curl lashes first to really open up the eye. The Rimmel London Glam Eyes VolumeFlex brush has two different bristle lengths. Separate lashes from root to tip with the long-bristled side of the brush to separate the lashes and then load up lashes with the shorter sides for volumized, thicker lashes all in one swoop.

The right way to wear red (lips)
Jo’s how-to tip: First, line the lips with a matching lip pencil to perfect the shape, apply the Bordeaux lipstick and then blot down with tissue for a deliciously dark, flattering lip-stained look.

Shock Gloss

Jo’s how-to tip: For a glamorous, lacquered up look that makes a statement, use a lip pencil underneath the gloss in your natural lip color to even out your lip shape and enhance the gloss color.

With a handy clip, you can simply attach this mascara to your cell phone, or even handbag. What a better way to keep a mascara handy without taking up space inside your bag. It looks very cute too!

The mascara formula itself is enriched with Vitamin B5 for extreme volume. And just because the tube is mini, does not mean that the brush is. The brush is on a shorter handle, which can take a few swipes to get used to, but the brush is definitely a very full size, thick, roller brush.

Volume Glamour Ultra Black Cell Phone Charm is in my book of must-have’s, and for a mere $8, it makes a great stocking stuffer too. (hint, hint)

So anyway, In the article they mention all the latest and greatest eyebrow beautifiers by my beloved Bare Escentuals, Anastasia, Lorac et. al, but what really catches my eye, and what has caught so many other eyes over the last few days is yet another reference to the truly gruesome cover of Sienna Miller on Vogue this month. What do you think about Sienna’s eyebrows?

Here, lets take a closer look:

Do you love this? Am I the only crazy woman that thinks this is hideous? Maybe I am. I am sure you will tell me. I only hope that Keira Knightley’s fans aren’t Sienna Miller fans too, or I am toast. By the way, Keira eyebrows look fabulous after looking at this disaster.
