The New Mascara You Need Now!

What do you get when you add a dash of nylon to an already-amazing mascara formula? Drew Barrymore-style lashes! CoverGirl is launching the newest addition to their cult following LashBlast mascaras—LashBlast Length. The new nylon-enhanced version promises 80 percent longer lashes and zero flaking. It won’t be available till early September, but you can snag a tube on pre-order starting today in hopes of channeling Barrymore’s gorgeousness—Lanvin dress not included.

CoverGirl sent me their new mascara, LashBlast Length to try out – and I was SO EXCITED, because LashBlast (the original!) is by far my favorite mascara ever! I really liked the difference in this mascara! It made each eyelash look so much longer…visibly longer! It completely changes my makeup look, and I like that! I will definitely keep this mascara on hand to switch things up every now and then! Try it out for yourself! It will be available in September 2009, at your local drugstore!

A perfectly matched system that combines an advanced Super-Length brush and our unique lengthening Elasta-Nylon formula for extreme lash length that won’t break or flake off.

SPACE FACE
I’m hooked on the ethereal, soft-focus finish of La Mer Treatment Powder Foundation, $90. Fittingly, its base ingredient is Airgel, a literally weightless material used by NASA.

GOLDEN GIRLS
To soften the edgiest makeup looks, Lancome’s Aaron De May cleverly borrows a stroke from Renaissance painters, highlighting faces with gold—on cheekbones, the bridge of the nose, Cupid’s bow, or center of eyelids (my personal fave). Best gilty pleasures: Lancôme Poudre Liberté Highlighting Powder, $40, Sensai The Lipstick by Kanebo, $55, and Avon Anew Ultimate Age Repair Gold Emulsion, $36.

DOUBLE HEADER
Ouidad Double Detangler, $24, is designed to gently unfurl ringlets. But I found it also effortlessly rakes deep conditioner through my long straight hair, pre-swim, making it my new beach-bag staple.

RED EYE
Runway Dorothy-worthy ruby eyeshadow, sparkling up models’ lids at Prada.
Reality Giorgio Armani Eyes to Kill Red Iron mascara, $28, and palette, $58, serving up vibrant yet flattering crimson shades that most of us can pull off (seriously). The exception: pale blondes (you’ll want to avoid the albino bunny look).

THE BIG APPLES
My beauty crutch: heaps of blush. But fall’s high-drama eyes and shockingly bold lips demand a lighter touch. For a featherweight fix, Sonia Kashuk Super Sheer Liquid Tint, $9.99, serves up just the right dewy dose.

From COVERGIRL’S Celebrity Makeup Artist Molly R. Stern:

“It always seems that inspiration ends up coming from the dress. Last night Amy wore a gorgeous full length Carolina Herrera gown with a charcoal and white pattern speckled with gold beading. So I borrowed from that exquisite color palette.”

“We went for a steel and copper smoky lid, gorgeous full lashes, a peachy cheek and a golden amber lip.”

Face
I first started by prepping her skin with a refreshing spray of Jurlique rose water balancing mist. And then moisturized her skin with La Mer’s moisturizing lotion

Next I based her skin sparingly with the new Cle de peau cream foundation. Then I warmed up her cheeks with the gorgeous new COVERGIRL Simply Ageless Sculpting Blush in Plush Peach.

Eyes
For her eye, I based the lid with a combination of Shu Uemura’s cream eye shadow in P taupe, and Vincent Longo’s silky orange liquid eyeshadow

Over that I blended the new NARS shadows in Brumes.

Under her eye I smudged COVERGIRL Exact Eyelights Eyeliner in Radiant Sapphire in the outer corner and on the inner corner I dabbed a smidge of Shu Uemura pressed eye shadow in NME gold 350.

On her lashes I coated them with COVERGIRL Exact Eyelights Mascara in Black Sapphire.

Lips
To finish off the look I tinted her lips with COVERGIRL Outlast Lipstain in Cinnamon Smile with a dab of YSL golden gloss over top.

It appears that gold is becoming kind of a big thing in Hollywood right now.

Beyonce went for it over the weekend:

The Hills’s Lo Bosworth wore it on her bottom lids at the MTV Movie Awards:

I love how clean and soft my skin feels after I use the Neutrogena Wave duo. The pads preloaded with face wash make it super easy and great for travel.
