We had to trek to three different Sephora locations until we found this popular little gadget in stock! Our new favorite tool, the Eyelash Curler and Comb Duo is only $5 at Sephora, and features a retractable eyelash brush that pops out of the base. We also use the brush on our eyebrows when they seem a tad unruly, and the eyelash curler itself is gentle, opposed to some scary metal contraptions we’ve seen that have a clamp-like look to them.

Beauty Buzz: CARGO Essential Eyeshadow Palette, $32 at Sephora
So maybe we are dorks, but we thought that the CARGO Essential Eyeshadow Palette, $32 at Sephora, not only provides fabulous, neutral eye color, BUT tells you where to place each shade! We love that we’ll have makeup-artist worthy makeup with every application, and are just wondering why no one thought of this ingenious labeling sooner!

Beauty Beat: Shiseido Accentuating Color Stick, $32 Sephora
I’ll be the first one to say that I was initially frightened by the ultra-bright shade of the Shiseido Accentuating Color Stick in rosy flush, $32 Sephora. I confirmed with a Shiseido makeup professional that it was indeed the right color for me (I am extremely pale), before I applied it, crayola-crayon style, to my face. The results: lets just say I had the best glow that I’ve had in years, and the color amazingly blended right in. Since then, I have pretty much abandoned my old blush/bronzer go-to product, for this wonderful invention!

Fashion Pulse Obsession: Urban Decay Santa Tanita Body Bronzer
We get a bit scared of products that can potentially turn our skin blotchy — and orange. This Santa Tanita Body Bronzer by Urban Decay ($28, Sephora) comes in mousse form, which is an interesting, and in our opinion, helpful way to apply self-tanner. Its foamy, not streaky, and is easy to apply, with virtually no mess to worry about afterwards. Plus, it doesn’t give a super-dramatic color change, the color is gradual so that you don’t go into the office pasty as Elmer’s glue one day, and with an extremely tropical glow the next!
