Don't let this shock you, but I don't have any eyelashes. Ok, so that's not exactly true. I have very short, very skinny eyelashes that only the best mascaras can make come to life. Consequently, I'm on a perpetual hunt for the best mascara on the market.

First Impressions
It was the unique packaging of the Maybelline Lash Stiletto Mascara that initially caught my eye. The tube is slender and sleek and I just had to find out what was inside.

The Results
And thank goodness that I did, the fabulously skinny brush delivered legnth and color like no mascara I've used before. I swear my eyelashes were about 3x their normal length. The microbrush provides the best control you could ask for. I coated every single one of my itty-bitty lashes without the usual hassle.

Conclusion
If this mascara has just a tad bit more thickening power to it, I would have been over the moon. I love "obese" lashes and that's what I was missing. Other than that this is a near perfect formula with a near perfect brush. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants enviable lashes.

I'm a huge fan of Urban Decay cosmetics. There a brand that seems so accessible, yet they continually deliver on the quality. Plus their packaging is too die for. Here's an overview of one of my favorite products the Deluxe Shadow Box.

The new and improved Deluxe Shadow Box includes nine of our velvety pigment-rich Deluxe Eyeshadows—from bold brights to classic neutrals. PLUS, we’ve popped in a vial of Eyeshadow Primer Potion—sure to get anyone who hasn’t tried it, addicted! The gorgeous compact is wrapped in luxe purple suede (faux, of course), and features a window of irresistibly touchable shiny silver mesh.

On my way out the door, I usually just throw a tube of lipgloss & eyeliner into my bag. Some of you have a more comprehensive touch up routine or just don’t have time to apply makeup at home. Face powder, eyeshadows, blushes, mascara, lip sticks, lipglosses, brushes, etc are probably floating around in your bag. Even with a makeup bag your stash can be cumbersome and a bit messy. That’s where the all-in-one palette steps in! They are extremely convenient, compact and give you plenty of “looks” options. You have eyeshadows, highlighters, blush, lip glosses, applicators, a mirror and more in a space saving package! Palettes are great for when you want to take your daytime-work look up a notch for the evening’s festivities.
