Next month, Maybelline New York launches The Falsies Volum’ Express, the latest addition to their lash enhancing repertoire. Fresh off of the success of The Colossal, Falsies is being touted as “instant false glam in a tube”.

Falsies— promising lashes that look up to eight times thicker and fuller— claims to do so by evenly coating lashes with a Pro-Keratin fiber-enriched formula, instantly plumping lashes and filling in gaps for a false lash effect.

The Falsies Mascara delivers a false lash look; giving you a full set of voluminous, bold, fanned out lashes and the appearance of no gaps from any angle.

The Pro-Keratin and Fibre enriched formula is designed to deliver immediate results, distributing volume and visible intensity to your lashes. The patented ‘Spoon’ shaped brush helps fan lashes out.

The Falsies Mascara is designed to give the appearance of no gaps and spaces. In a wink lashes you didn’t even know you had look visibly thickened!

Maybelline-New-York-The-Falsies-Volum-Express-8.99.jpgWe tried it, and here are our thoughts:

Pros: “wet” lash look, inky black formula, buildable, doesn’t smear easily, easy to use, spoon brush cradles lashes and gives good curl, noticeable volume.

Cons: dries too quickly (must work fast to avoid clumps), too large-stopper wastes product, doesn’t entirely deliver on “falsies” promise.

Overall, The Falsies is a good mascara, one of the better drugstore offerings. I don’t know about a “false lash” effect,  but it did give us a lot of volume. Lashes looked lush, dark, and while they didn’t look “fake”, the mascara was still a high performer. We did have a problem with clumping, but nothing a lash comb can’t easily smooth out… and it’s definitely our favorite Maybelline mascara to date. The mascara is available in three washable and two waterproof shades.

Available July 2010 at Maybelline.com $8
stylebakerybeauty:nars:multiple:tint.jpg I love NARS Multiples for eyes, lips and cheeks (Copacabana & Orgasm are my faves), so I absolutely couldn’t wait for the limited-edition Multiple Tints (for cheeks & lips) to hit the stores. Though they seem bright in the tube, these long-wearing, juicy shades deliver a sheer pop of color, and are easy to blend if you want to create a more-intense shade. Each is a perfect blush for a bright, healthy glow or perform double-duty worn under gloss. Available at sephora.com for $38.

Odor Tags, created by UK brand Odegon, are odor-absorbing, nanoporous fabric patches designed to trap body odor that can be either ironed or sewn onto clothing, as easy as an iron-on t-shirt transfer. Constructed of a controlled carbon material and military-grade fiber, the tags are odorless, nonallergenic, and free of chemicals.

The concept itself is pretty neat….at least we won’t have to worry about forgetting to apply before running out of the house!

$18 for six,  $70 for 24 at Odegon.com


18f2163f796304e5_Untitled-1.jpgTaylor Swift opted for sleek tresses instead of her trademark waves, and kept the face light and neutral. The focus was on the eyes, with high drama lashes.

5e1f1d2d0f525374_Untitled-1.jpg Hayden Panetierre rocked a fresh face and apricot shadow (a HUGE trend for summer). In a shocking twist, she debuted a cropped, blonde pixie cut. A bit mature for the actress; maybe she’s trying to look more age-appropriate next to her much older boyfriend?

Carrie Underwood was our fave, with rosy makeup and a flirty pony, which complimented her killer pink gown!


When I saw Makeup Forever’s Aqua Cream long-lasting, waterproof eye cream, I just about died. It’s available for $22 at Sephora. And while that might seem pricey for just one product, it is so breathtakingly pretty. Plus, you know that it will last just about foreverstylebakerbeauty:images:makeupforever:aquacream.jpg.

And I know you’re thinking, Wow, that’s bright! But this color will complement any skin tone and make any shade of eye-color seem just a bit more vivid and intense. So get ready to pretty up your peepers, with just one swipe of this perfect summer-shade on your lids for a cute, refreshing look (but don’t go above the crease).
