give your eyelashes an orgasm

I'm always on the prowl for some good mascara - the thicker the better, the sluttier (pardon my french) the better. So, imagine my utter awe and slight wariness when Estee Lauder announced they were coming out with a vibrating mascara, Turbolash, for 30 bucks. How the hell can you prevent gouging your eye out with that thing? Well I'll try anything once, and this is one way I can squander my stimulus check on...

dragon eyes

"La fille du Dragon," ("the girl of the dragon," in english) from Numéro 90 February 2008 shot by Sofia Sanchez & Mauro Mongiello avec model Marina Perez. The makeup is intense; winged yellow highlighter eyeliner, ooers. Finally, a Spring editorial minus all the prints vomited upon it. (see previous post.)

prints, prints, everywhere

Spring 08 is print crazy- first the Meisel editorial for Vogue Italia and now this edit. for V Magazine shot by Steven Klein. Stam looks like she lazing around like some sort of homeless, floral trendwhore. It's like looking into a kaleidoscope of Dries Van Noten and Prada whatsits, while on some sort of LSD trip. Excess these days...

Cory K. for Urban Decay

So, to get an Urban Decay comestics campaign, all one has to do is:

• become jailbait by going out with the Cobrasnake
• intern at Nylon (whatever she does there)
• shlep around L.A. at all hours of the day
• befriend an entourage of messed up starlets and Jeremy Scott
• personify the hipster aesthetic
• become insanely overexposed
• forgo washing ya hair for weeks at a time.

The Dior Pouf

Oooh so the bubble hem isn't dead! At least according to John Galliano for the Christian Dior Spring 08 couture show. Evidently, it appears to be the year of the poufy skirt, billowing in voluminous sheaths of satins. This bout sixties excess is all the more apt with the eyecatching symbolist designs reminiscent of Gustav Klimt. Editorial-friendly, It's the typico Galliano faire, with vibrant shocks of color, pounds of glittery eye makeup, courtesy of the wonderous Pat McGrath, and finger in the socket/tight updos, which he said was inspired by Vreeland. And I wouldn't mind teetering on those delectable magenta pumps, ooers. God knows I could use those extra 6 inches of height.

Is it just me, or is Chanel Iman looking a little more gaunt than usual?

Sequins never looked so appetizing.

Dollface

So, whilst I wait for that bubblegum pink Proenza Schouler lipstick collaboration with Lancome, turns out that MAC Cosmetics and Mattel have teamed up to develop a limited edition color collection. Barbie Loves MAC's collection included 80'sesque lip glosses that resemble more of a laquer, and bolder than bold eyeshadows that borderline on stripperesque. Personally, I harbor a love for excess, dramatic makeup and BARBIE! , and this collection mirrors my passions to a tee. Imagine my inner kindergartener glee when I saw that not only is MAC making Barbie makeup, they are making a doll. Oh. my. I need her to go with my Barbie dreamhouse. NOW.
This exclusive collection is only selling at MAC boutiques starting February 15.
