My thoughts on pink eyeshadow? I’m into it. I have been ever since high school. My very first pink (because you never forget your first!) was a dainty pale pink frost — Seashell Pink, by Clinique — which I loved to wear from lash line to brow bone when I was a teenager. I know. But wait, it gets better… Sometimes I added a little bit of shimmery bright blue in the outer corner. 😉 Later in high school, when I REALLY started experimenting, I buffed my favorite pink blushes on my lids.

Lash drama: I has it. Rather, I’m going through it. Have I already mentioned this before? Only a million times, you say? Yeah, well…I promise that if the Fabulous Fringe Fairy materializes at the foot of my bed one night, waves her Wand of Winsomeness and bequeaths me with naturally lush lashes 4LIFE, I will happily STFU about the Grand Canyon-sized gap along the lash line of my right eye, and you will never have to hear another sordid tale of my lash woe again. 😉 (Believe me, I want this as much as you do.)

If you’ve every had trouble applying them (and who hasn’t?), what you need to do is hunt down a set of UD Urban Lash False Eyelashes. They’ll make your life easier.
