Beauty Product of the Day: My “Eye Opener”
Stuck on an island with only five things? Going on vacation and can fit just a few favorite products? Each question gets at least one same answer. Mascara.
It’s my daily dose. My daily routine. The only place you won’t see me wearing it is during a morning workout (but I’ll curl my lashes) or sleeping.
So in celebration of the iconic Great Lash mascara from Maybelline, knowing we ladies always want our eye to look lovelier, they teamed up with designers Maz Azria, Tracy Reese and Vivienne Tam to create a limited edition stylish collection available at Target. Scoop up your favorite look.

Maybelline Great Lash, Target.com for $6.99
And then it’s onto my brows. I have skinny brows (wish I could say the same about my thighs) so they need definition with a brow pencil. I’ve got two go -to items.
YBF (Your Best Friend) Brow Pencil, HSN.com 2 for $20
Anatasia brow pencil, Sephora.com for $22
And here’s a few tips on how to get well shaped brows:
*Comb your eye brows before applying eye brow pencil, and then ever so lightly comb them when you have completed. Use your eye brow pencil with feathery strokes. Blend carefully and remove any telltale marks.
*Hold a pencil vertically against the side of the nostril. The point at which the pencil crosses the brow is where the natural brow line should start. Lightly mark this spot with pencil. Don’t tweeze brows too far behind this line.
*While keeping bottom of pencil stationary at base of nostril, slide the top slightly across the front of the eye. Stop at the outer edge of the iris. Where the pencil crosses the brow is where the arch should be. Lightly mark this spot.
*Again, keeping bottom of pencil stationary at base of nostril, move pencil diagonally so that it extends past the outer corner of your eye. Lightly mark this spot. Your brow should not go past this point, or your eye will appear to droop. Use short, feathery strokes to fill in brows.
*And if you make the mistake of going too dark – no worries – don’t remove! Just apply a light dusting of Neutralizing Powder over the brows to soften until the shade is perfect for you. This also sets the brow.
