I've decided it's time I learned how to use eyeshadow properly. On my last trip to the drug store I found these Rimmel palettes on sale for under $3 each and decided to grab a range of colors to see if I could find which ones work best on me. I remain skeptical that color will make a big difference but I've recently started using concealer under my eyes (pale skin + a very visible blue vein = help!) and figure I might as well take on eyeshadow while I'm at it. I'll report back about undereye concealer, I still have little idea how to make it work. In the mean time I'll point you towards the concealer reviews at Musings of a Muse [1], she's dedicated to the search. She's also a geek girl, within minutes of first browsing her site I knew it was love. Related note: I suck at putting on eyeliner and have instead taken to using an angled flat brush (I have #266 from MAC) to smudge black eyeshadow (I use Carbon black eyeshadow, also from MAC) into the lash line on my upper lids. If you're similarly frustrated by eyeliner I recommend trying this out. I'm too pale (daughter of a redhead) to put eyeliner on my lower lashes without looking rather strange, but I'm going to try the Busywork [2] linked to recently so see how it works out. A few of the Rimmel palettes I bought are made for smoky eyes so I might do one eye in browns and one eye in blues to see how they compare. That reminds me, the other week I decided to compare my former (discontinued) favorite foundation to my current favorite foundation (Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse). Then I forgot my face was half and half and went grocery shopping. Let's hope I don't do the same with the sample eyes, I suspect it would be far more noticeable. One last note on eye makeup, a friend of mine who knows her stuff reports that her favorite eyeshadow primer is Too Faced Shadow Insurance [3]. I have not tried it yet but I plan on making the investment soon (eyeshadow on these lids of mine is prone to extreme creasing, I can use all the help I can get). Thanks Sarah!

How To: Winged Eyeliner ? Cupcakes and Cashmere.No amount of hydration, sleep, cucumbers, teabags, fancy gels and creams will get rid of the very dark circles under my eyes. I have made peace with the fact that they will never ever go away, but I would love some makeup solutions for covering them up.

Olive, Cream Cheese, and Carrot Penguins

I just came across this adorable hors d'œuvre on The Hairpin: little penguins, made from black olives, cream cheese, and carrot! I love the Devo hat on the leader of the waddle. Did you know that a group of penguins on land is called a waddle?
