I saved my favorite product for last!  CoverGirl’s Lash Blast is BY FAR my favorite product of 2008.  I will never spend over $10 on mascara again.  I wouldn’t have bought this product, because I’m a total mascara snob - but Rena with CoverGirl sent it to me, and told me I had to try it.  I tried it, and seriously, I’ll never use another mascara.  It is just as good (if not better) than any $30 mascara you’d buy at Sephora.  Before Lash Blast, I always used Diorshow - and would never try anything else.  I thank Rena with CoverGirl for introducing me to a cheaper, superior mascara.  You guys all should try it - you won’t be sorry!

Merry Christmas everyone!  That’s my 10 products of 2008.  Hope you liked our countdown…and thanks for all the support you guys give us everyday!

CoverGirl’s Lash Blast mascara is topping a lot of makeup must have lists. Oprah herself just endorsed it as one of her Summer Must Haves. Have you tried this mascara, what was your opinion? I have used other CoverGirl mascaras and loved them I can’t wait to try lash Blast.

Want to know how to acheive the perfect brows?  Try these 3 simple steps!! (I’ve got it all down except the not plucking above the brow…I always have a few I’ve gotta pluck!) 

• Trace: Use a white eye pencil to outline your ideal brow shape, then plucking hairs outside the line.
• Pluck: Only tweeze beneath and between the brows. (Most pros prefer slant-tip tweezers) Removing hairs above can result in a lower arch.
• Perfect: Use a pencil the shade of your brows to fill in gaps, blen with brow powder two shades lighter and set with.

Rihanna’s makeup artist Mylah Morales first lined her lips with a taupe liner, then applied a warm beige Shu Uemura lipstick and finished with a glossy coat of a pink CoverGirl Fruit Spritzer.  Those with darker skin should pick a deep beigy nude, while those with fairer complexions are flattered by a pinker hue, says Morales, who suggest pairing a pale lip with pink blush or bronzer to avoide looking washed out!
