Mascara OBSESSION: Benefit They’re Real

You guys, I know it’s been WAY too long but I can’t wait a second longer before telling you about my latest mascara obsession!

Last month Benefit released a genius new product called They’re Real: a lengthening, thickening, long-wearing, super glossy, badass mascara.

And by badass, I mean BADASS.

This mascara makes my lashes thick and long without weighing them down and unfurling my curl (my number one complaint of mascaras, thanks to my Asian heritage). It’s also smudge-proof and water resistant, a huge benefit here in the humid weather of Kauai.

Benefit They’re Real Mascara is currently sold out on Benefitcosmetics.com but you can find it at Sephora.com for $22.

Eva Mendes is the New Face of Angel by Thierry Mugler

Eva Mendes, the new face of Thierry Mugler ANGEL fragrance, celebrated with the brand as they unveiled the gourmand scent’s new campaign last Thursday night in New York.

Dressed in a mint green Mugler dress, Eva opted for flowy locks and sultry summer makeup created by celebrity makeup artist Genevieve Herr.

To create Eva’s look, Herr first primed her skin with Clarins Beauty Flash Balm and Multi-Active Day Cream before applying Thierry Mugler Cooling Effect Compact Foundation all over the skin.

Herr contoured Eva’s face with Mugler’s Face Shadows & Lights Powder in Brown and White before accenting her eyes with aubergine shadow and lots of Flash on Lashes Mascara and a final coat of Vinyl Gloss for added oomph! and shine. The look was finished with sunset-hued cheeks and lips.

Look for Eva Mendes in the new Angel by Thierry Mugler fragrance campaign come September.

Last weekend was Bailey’s senior prom. Aside from a near-fiasco with the dress (arrived at the VERY last minute…thankfully it fit!) and the fact that she had more than a handful of friends to do hair/makeup on for the event, Bailey looked beyond beautiful.

Much like Bree did last year, Bailey created a few prom makeup looks with Flirt! products to help her decide on her final prom look.

Here are the gorgeous prom makeup looks and the products Bailey used to create them:
