Go Blue

I've been wearing dark blue mascara for years, and if you haven't tried it, what are you waiting for? Don't worry, it's not like you'll be channeling the 80s, instead you'll just be exploiting the bad-ass benefits of the hue. Not only will it make the whites of your eyes appear brighter, but it will make blue eyes appear bluer; brown eyes more golden; and hazel eyes pop with hints of lush green. When picking your shade, steer clear of anything in the aqua or turquoise families, and look for deeper blue, navy and even violet shades. One of my favorites is Benefit BADgal blue mascara ($19, benefitcosmetics.com).

Love for Lemon


Lemon is one of those aromas that you either love or hate, and if you've sniffed some lemon-based products in your quest for beauty, I wouldn't be surprised if you often associate the smell with lysol or some other household cleaner. However, I recently discovered a chic yet cheap line called J.R. Watkins Apothecary that offers what might be the best-smelling lemon scents this nose has ever sniffed. The Lemon Cream Shea Butter combines the lemon scent with shea butter that been whipped with cocoa butter, as well as macadamia nut, avocado, apricot kernal, jojoba and coconut oils. It goes on smooth, absorbs quickly and smells absolutely delectable. The lemon scent is also available in lighter lotions, hand creams, salves and body oils!
