Entry: Would You Wear False Eyelashes?

I love false eyelashes. Naturally my eyelashes are thick but dead straight, so even with a curler and mascara, it takes a lot of effort to keep them nicely curled. I use MAC #17 eyelashes every time I go out somewhere nice with friends, they make my lashes appear even fuller and definitely stay nice and curled in the most natural looking way. Practice definitely makes perfect with false lashes, and patience is definitely key. Now it only takes me about 5 minutes to set my lashes nicely in place. A good (if not obvious) tip is to line the lash line with back eyeliner before applying the lash, to ensure a continuous look. And also, do not hesitate to trim the sides of a full set of lashes if they overhang the length of your eyelid.

yes, i used to use cetaphil as well...but now i've switched over to Philosophy Purity because it removes makeup (especially mascara) like a dream!...and it's not extremely expensive either... a bit pricier than Cetaphil yes, I won't lie...but one of their big bottles lasts about 4-5 months with twice daily washings (and then some!)

I've recently gone cold turkey too. I made my New Years resolution to do anything and everything to get my skin looking flawless again! This includes no makeup, no more picking at my face (a really bad habit of mine) and using Lush facial mask for deep pore cleansing every couple of days. The first week was horrible! I looked hideous without makeup...I had dark circles under my eyes and a lot of blemishes on my cheeks (probably from bronzer). But I roughed it out and went sans-makeup everywhere...to class, to work, shopping, for dinner, everywhere! Now my skin feels and looks great, but I think I'll stay fresh faced until the end of term...since going makeup-less has saved me LOTS of time in the mornings!

Vogue UK (the one with Uma on the cover) has this whole article or blurb or something written about how pj's are the next big thing in evening wear.

Chapman did. The cropped version is just wrong.

Haha, who cares about "street cred". You can't blame a brand for failing to become a success after every re-launch. I think PONY is awesome, I just can't seem to find their shoes for women anywhere. They definitely do come up with nicer styles for men however. However "uncool" you fashionistas may find PONY, I want a pair, and can't wait to see the results of this collaboration.

I love sneakers too! I doubt I'll ever give them up, they're just such a great option when I want to be casual, cute and comfy....
BUT I am soo over my Chucks! I really want to replace them with Pony's (that Italian sneaker brand) which I can't seem to find anywhere for women here in Toronto. Anyone know where I can find these babies? I don't want to order them online simply because I don't know if they run true to my size or what...
