The Perfect Blush?

Guest blog by Lois Arbogast

Every girl deserves a beauty product splurge every once in a while...and Chanel blush is definitely mine.

I don't usually spend $45 on make-up, but this is an exception. I love the quilted pattern on this blush and the little velvet bag it comes in. I know, I know. I'm a sucker for the luxury marketing scheme, but it's so worth it!

I've had mine for just more than eight months and I use it almost every day and still have a lot left. The colors they have are classic, so you can use them with everything.

Editor's note: This blush is perfect for getting the Ashley Greene look we described yesterday. Of course, if you have the Ultimate Blockbuster, the blushes in there work, too.

Love Your Lashes

The February issue of InStyle has a piece on the right mascara for your eyelashes.

My favorite, Givenchy Phenomenon Eyes, is listed as "best for long, droopy lashes."

The one I hate (I think it's all a marketing ploy to get you to spend $34 on mascara), the Lancome Oscillation mascara is listed as "best for short, straight lashes."

Their other recommendations include best for:

• Stiff lashes (Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Lash Extending Treatment; $20)
  
• Long, straight lashes (Clinique High Impact Curling; $14)
  
• Unruly lashes (Maybelline New York XXL Extensions; $9)
  
• Pale lashes (By Terry Blackster; $42)
  
• Sparse lashes (Exceptionnel de Chanel; $28)
  
• Hard-to-reach baby lashes (Rimmel London Sexy Curves; $8)
  
• Sensitive eyes (Physicians Formula Organic Wear; $9)
  

Do you have a favorite mascara not listed here? What type of eyelashes do you have?
