attention! you NEED this mascara.

hiya dollfaces! so my mac has officially debuted the newest addition to their mascara lineup and it's called OPULASH! doesn't that just sound fabulous?! i feel priveledged because it's not supposed to hit counters until may 27th... but through a twist of fate and a nordstrom exclusive it is mine...

the word on the street, about this baby, is that it rivals dior show mascara... unfortunately, i can't justify spending $25+ on mascara so i wouldn't know, but when mac offers me an alternative i would be stupid to not take them up on it. naturally i HAD to have it!

here's what mac has to say about the product:

"Big, fat, full, bouffant lashes! Dramatic density and curl achieved with a giant brush! Fibers go in all directions for thick, rich, even application with no clumping. Long-wearing formula—up to 15 hours—quickly thickens lashes root to tip."

here is the beauty

the short is i LOVE this product! it is volumizing (as you will see in the following pics). it goes on thin, but is very buildable without looking clumpy! the pics below are with 1 (yes i said one) coat and a little curl with my shu uemora curler! the best part of this mascara is it does not flake!!! i find, with many of my mascaras, after 8 hours of wear i begin to find flakes on my cheeks and under my eyes. a definite deal breaker for me... but that is not the case with this gem. admittedly, i am a mascara person and i definitely think this is my new HG.
check out the pics and marvel at the difference between my naked lashes and my opulashes!!


amazing right?

i'm having a contest with a tube of opulash as the prize! read all about it HERE and don't forget to enter... either on this post or that one. good luck!

dollface of the day: RED ALERT

hiya dollfaces! this is a look i wore a couple of days ago which is really simple on the eyes and serious pop of color on the lips! this look isn't for the faint of heart... red lips demand to be noticed so wear them when you are feeling your flirtiest...

drink me, eat me - all over the lid

mushroom - in the crease and blended out

too faced lash injection mascara in black

the key to this look is the lips... on them i'm wearing

china glaze mania!

hiya dollfaces! so you know those days when the only thing that will make you happy is a new nail polish? well, that was me on thursday... so off to sally i went! the main reason i went was to find something alittle lighter than flyin' high... which i reviewed earlier and looks alittle something like this..

i found what i was looking for in this gem...

for audrey (my new favorite nail polish)

here are the two side by side...

for audrey is flyin' high's brother from another mother! i'm in LOVE with it... so ridiculously gorgeous and i cannot wait to have a pedicure with this color!! hello springtime!!! God bless china glaze and their buy 2 get 1 free offer so my arm was twisted to pick up two other colors...

this is something sweet... it's a lovely light pinkie... i love light pastel shades and this is just beautiful. i'm glad that it is opaque in two coats instead of the pink sheer colors i am used to that take forever to reach the desired shade. 5 stars for china glaze!

this is high hopes... i'm a bit leery of this as it seems very orange-alish on me. but i will wait until i'm more tan and give it another go. it may make a great pedicure shade as well... stay tuned!

soooo... tell me dollfaces... what are some new polish shades you are coveting at the moment??

dollface of the day: A-game entry

hiya dollfaces!! so nicole over at NVBeauty is having a contest to bring your a-game face... this is my entry... it is inspired by a combination of alice in wonderland and lady gaga... i used only shadows from the alice in wonderland book of shadows!

i call these my butterfly eyes! so fun... but not really the most wearable of looks! :)

prettifying prop: clip on fringe

hiya dollfaces! it's good friday, but not so good for annie as i have to work... :( this also makes me extra sad because i had planned to enter NV Beauty's bring your A game contest today (my only day off)... but i was backed into a corner and asked to work by my new manager. bummer! next time Nicole... promise!

onto the topic of the day! do you ever just feel blah somedays? those days, you know, you just wanna shake things up?! it gets boring looking at the same face, same clothes yada yada... day in and day out! am i right dolls?!

when this need for change happens we can wear a bold new eyeliner or that fire engine red lipstick we've been saving for a rainy day... or we can be super drastic and cut and dye our hair!! well lately i have been thinking of cutting my bangs... i always tend to do this right be for it gets warm and i know they will irritate the cr*p out of me... not to mention, cause my forehead to break out. so the bangs idea was nixed for now, but i thought of a fun way to curb the craving... clip on fringe! why not fake it?!

i went onto etsy and found a little company that made them from human hair and they were only $8!! SCORE! the only worry i had was would the black match my hair? but they were so reasonably priced i said "what the heck?" i am so glad i got them. the color matches perfectly! although clipping them in took some getting used to. everything takes practice though doesn't it? they are made to be sideswept and that's perfect for me! i have super thick hair, but whenever i cut bangs i can never get them to be as thick as i want so these are great and so much fun. have a look...

** goofy faces alert **

presenting my new friend

place it right where you want it, clip it in... and go from thisto this

it's not drastic, but it is noticeable when i want to give my look alittle more vavavoom!

i hope you have a wonderful easter dollfaces! xoxo
