CoverGirl LashBlast Mascara
Mickey says: "The new trend in mascara is the large brightly colored wand and it's the biggest thing to happen to lash tinting in a long time. Some work at volume and some at length, but CoverGirl's Lash Blast actually addresses both issues. It has 50% more bristles than their other formulas, and these little stems pick up lashes you never knew you had. LashBlast wears well and didn't irritate any of our models."

The biggest brush ever from CoverGirl, for a blast of lush, volumized lashes. Lash Blast's volume-boosting formula and patent-pending brush are designed to max out each and every lash leaving you with the ultimate big lash look.

Blinc Kiss Me Eyeliner

Blinc Kiss Me Eyeliner

Mickey says: "This is my favorite liner for long wearing Winehouse cat eyes (maybe not that extreme). The formula does not move until you move it, but the real beauty of this liner is the precision you get with Kiss Me's ultra fine applicator brush. It's hard to mess up with this eyeliner."

Kiss Me is the original eyeliner invented to form a water-resistant "layer of color" that contours your eyes. Since Kiss Me is not a cosmetic paint like conventional eyeliners, it cannot fade, smudge, run or flake, even if you cry or rub your eyes.

The intense layer of color creates a dramatic look that lasts all day. Only when you are ready for removal, the layer of color will effortlessly slide off your skin into your hand without the use of a harsh makeup remover.


Ideal for those with sensitive eyes, contact lens wearers, and active people in search of an eyeliner whose look, hold and ease of removal is without compromise.

 Garment Guard

Mickey says: "Not like I have a problem with perspiration or anything, but these are just in time with the warmer weather approaching for us seasonal folk. I hear they are a necessity for stylists working in Hollywood and the fact that they come in black makes them a part of my daily wardrobe. Never let them see you sweat!"

Garment Guard™ is a disposable, self-adhesive, beige or black colored cotton disc that adheres to the inside of clothing. This creates a barrier between the underarm and the clothing, keeping clothes cleaner and stain-free.

Tricia Sawyer Skin Balancing Water Primer
Mickey says: "Tricia Sawyer's Water Primer is three primers in one. It glides on with skin cooling aloe leaf. Hyaluronate minimizes the appearance of fine lines and silicone ensures hydration while keeping makeup in place. Everyone I've used this face soothing prep on has run to the computer to order it. It's a favorite."

The silicone-based formula traps water next to the skin's surface, helping to maintain natural moisture levels, while a special infusion of aloe leaf and sodium hyaluronate work to soothe skin and diminish the appearance of fine lines.
