"The Eyes Are the Nipples of the Face"

I'm not in the habit of viewing B-movies.  I do, however,  admit a certain guilty pleasure when circumstances compels me to do so. Setting the scene. I'm visiting a household of high-schoolers watching The House Bunny,  featuring  Anna Faris as a homeless Playboy Bunny that witlessly comes to the aid of an endangered College sorority. 
I feigned nonchalance,  pretending to immerse myself in current issues of Elle, In Style and W, all the while keeping a surreptitious eye on the screen. Yes, it was sophomoric and formulaic at times, but it was also funny. Then most hilarious line I've ever heard in B-moviedom came forth from the lead character, "The eyes are the nipples of the face!" 


Heck, we already know "eyes are windows to the soul," but this bold statement is a true epiphany! 


Ladies, our eyes mean so much more than we realize...I suggest we take that a minute to dab on some mascara and  consider the hottest look of all, false eyelashes! A lovely look for any style! .

TRENDCENTRAL PICKS: Future of Beauty

Revlon's Scented Nail Polish: Five Senses marketing for Revlon? Reported to be launching this month, a new collection of eight richly colored fruit-inspired shades also boasts sweet scents - a pleasant change from the headache-inducing odor that's typically part of a manicure. As the polishes are reminiscent of the brightly colored scented magic markers of our youth, we're pretty excited to try out the Not So Blueberry and Sublime Strawberry as soon as they hit store shelves.

Cosmetic Bedding: Getting your beauty sleep takes on a whole new meaning with these products. A growing number of brands, including Serta, Copalife and SkinGlow, are boasting pillowcases, sheets, and even mattresses embedded with microcapsules of aloe vera and copper to moisturize and calm skin, control acne, and fight wrinkles, while also warding off bacteria and dust. While we don't think the truly beauty-obsessed will opt for special bedding over medical procedures, we do think these products could become another "must-have" in the ongoing quest for the fountain of youth.

Smashbox Glow products: Mood makeup is making a comeback. While Smashbox's O-Glow and O-Gloss are not new, we consistently hear consumers singing their praises. For cheeks and lips respectively, these products are supposed to work with each user's personal skin chemistry, going on clear and changing to a shade that complements each individual's coloring - not to mention the added bonus of vitamins, minerals and nutrients like ginkgo biloba, pomegranate and a Goji Berry-C Complex for extra healthy skin benefits. We're certainly skeptical of just how "personal" the products are, but the subtle tints they give definitely create a natural flush that's perfect for summer.
