YSL Mascara Volume Effet Faux Cils
The secret: "Achieve an intense, dramatic lash look in a single stroke, for lashes that stop traffic with the blink of an eye. Its secret is the Triple-Film Complex: a film-coating for intensity, a conditioning film for curve, and a fixing film for long-lasting effectiveness."

We LOVE the look of layered tights.
To update an old dress or jazz up a plain dress - LAYER a pair of open weave tights OVER a pair of colored tights. ('Berry or burgundy tones are all the rage...)
Then think like a magazine editor, a fashion stylist or a street-style-star and add a chic, patterned bag and/or a statement necklace for balance.

EAT With just a few weeks until the Holiday season begins we'll get in shape by eating these 23 Healthy and Delicious Low Carb Lunches.
HEAR We love Ana Gasteyer @AnaGasteyer from Saturday Night Live (her 'NPR Schweddy Balls' skit with Molly Shannon and Alec Baldwin is beyond). Of course she's hilarious... but did you know she sings?! Download her new music filled with "Moxie Jazz": "I'm Hip" for a funny, jazzy, blue-zy cocktail hour.
SEE Need a brain-break? Check out the BEAUTIFUL photos curated on this pinner's Pinterest page or just veg' out on Tiny Atlas Quarterly.
BEAUTY If you love the look of false eyelashes (we do!) but hate the application (we do...) then you'll love 'Kiss Ever EZ Lashes'. The lashes have strings attached to their sides so that you can easily guide and center your lash application. When dry - you pull the strings out/off. Admittedly it feels kind of weird and you have to have the strings dangling in your face while the glue drys - but(!) we did ultimately have perfectly centered lashes that lasted all night. @KissProducts
KIDS Got Gift? (YES, It's that time of year...) How about a "Mo's Bows" bow tie. Moziah Bridges a "12 year old CEO who runs a $150,000 Business" @mosbowsmemphis couldn't find bow ties for himself - so he started making his own. Inspire your kid! Pocket squares and T-Shirts too.
STYLE This girl is serious about her yellow and leopard print. (warning: serious handbag envy ahead).
HOME We can't get enough of this Nest Home Fragrance/Reed Diffuser in 'Sicilian Tangerine'. It's best in your entryway... Everytime you open your door you'll be greeted with the light scent of "tangerine and bergamot - entwined with exotic mango and passionfruit." Oh yeah. (Beats the scent of soggy rainboots or sweaty sneakers any day).
STYLE A shameless plug for our A-List Pinterest Page. Cuz we're big fans Pinners. Pinterest.com/AListPins
BEAUTY Do you Arbutin?
TRAVEL One more reason to love Spain... Elle Decor recently featured 'Platea Madrid', a new restaurant in Madrid that is a transformed 1940's movie theatre. Calling it "a maximalist eating and entertainment venue", the huge space has different zones for cocktails, tapas, sushi and more. "The curved design ensures that no diner misses any of the onstage action from salsa bands to circus performance." Ole. ElleDecor.com
STYLE Hate your closet? Need a (free) stylist?
GIFT Perfect for your Holiday Shopping List and Stocking Stuffers... A plethora of accessories, handmade by the "Women's Craft Cooperative" at Rosie's Place - a sanctuary for poor and homeless women. Such great prices - you'll find something for everyone! RosiesPlace.org
