Forget boys. I love MAC's PenUltimate Eye Liner!

How, oh how, could I have lived without you for so long MAC PenUltimate Eye Liner? I bought this eye liner yesterday at Macy's. The MAC makeup artist there told me that with practice, the PenUltimate liner makes doing a "cat eye" a piece of cake. Well, she wasn't lying. On the first try, I did a perfect wing on my right eye. The left, however, needed some work. But still for $16.50, this stuff is AMAZING. I'm going to use it tonight for my New Year's look!

Random Story of the Day: Get Rid of Bloodshot Eyes

I was watching Extra TV last night and it featured a segment on how to get rid of three common eye problems (puffy eyes, dark circles, and bloodshot eyes). What I was shocked to learn is that there is actually a surgery called "Eyebright," where an eye surgeon can permanently get rid of bloodshot eyes.

How does the surgery work? Basically the surgeon removes the membrane that holds the blood vessels and in about two weeks your eyes naturally turn white. Apparently, the surgery is "painless." Crazy, huh?

Unfortunately, it costs $4,000 per eye for this surgery. So I wouldn't throw away those eyedrops just yet!

I first learned about HauteLook.com from a video by fafinettex3, my absolute favorite makeup guru. Urban Decay had a sale on there with unbelievable deals and products, but I got to it too late and most of the products were sold out!

Tarte Takes on Chapped Lips

Each year I dread the change of summer to fall/winter because I know what it means: chapped lips. NOTHING seems to work on me - not Vaseline, regular chap stick, Soft Lips, Carmex, etc. So I was talking to a makeup artist in Sephora about my chapped lips a few months ago and she recommended Tarte's fRxtion, a natural sugar and lip balm duo.

I absolutely LOVE this product. It's only $11 and it works great. Basically, you take the dark tan side and rub it all over lips, then use a Q-Tip to buff the dead skin off. After that, you apply the white moisturizing side to your lips.

Plus, the packaging of this product is so cute - it even includes a little mirror! If you have chapped lips that just won't go away, I think this product is well worth the price.

Pretty in Pink

I rarely ever use pink eyeshadow, but I felt like experimenting, so here's what I came up with for today. I used the Coastal Scents Matte 88 palette, which is a great palette for those beginning to play with makeup. It's affordable and the colors are pretty pigmented.

Saturday Night Shimmer

So this is the look that I am wearing to a friend's party tonight. I used the Two-Faced Liquif-Eye Shadow Collection ("Ultimate Eyes Collection"). It consists of 12 eyeshadows that can be transformed into eyeliner with the "liquid eyeliner transformer."
