What happens after midnight when you are wearing midnight blue mascara? Just bat your lashes and find out! The cobalt blue trend is really taking off. Not only will these lash extending mascaras make your eyes pop, but they are all formulated to lengthen, add volume and condition.

So, while some of you are still in shock that colored mascaras are back, just try one and see what you think of these darker blue hues. Wear it alone, with a neutral shadow or pair it with a beautiful blue eyeliner for added dramatic effect!

Benefit Bad Gal Blue Mascara , $19, is a deep hue of blue that has a hint of vivid violet to it. Their Bad Gal mascara has been a huge hit ever since it launched. It has this biggie brush that doesn't miss a single lash and it doesn't flake or fall. This color makes blue eyes bluer, hazel eyes greener and brown eyes bolder!

Brand-New Brand: Manual Override

Some people are just born overachievers. Case in point, Jay Manuel. Now he can add his new cosmetics line, Manual Override to his resume under: renown celebrity makeup artist, red carpet guru, creative director/photo shoot producer, and America's Next Top Model judge and style coach. I've been hearing buzz about this line for some time now, and I am very excited to announce that it is finally available for purchase!

Jay wanted to create something simple for women to use, but also something that will give them more energy with their look. His goal is to make a woman's personal beauty regimen more extraordinary. His tag line is, "Ladies, it's time to shift from automatic and into override." So dramatic!

He is most proud that his high shine lip glosses have the highest silicone count out of any other cosmetics line on the market. This makes the gloss easy to glide on, smooth, moisturizing and above all...ultra shiny! Something else that really stands out is his navy blue mascara. He feels that it is soft enough to not look too retro 80s, but has just enough hue to complement any eye color. Thanks Jay!

New! Powerful Powdered Lip Color

These new revolutionary lip powders glide on like a lipstick, yet they come packaged in the form of a powder. Just swipe a lip brush across one or all four colors to create a smooth, velvety finish. I was definitely wary at first, but after trying them, they actually feel very cool on your lips. I can't wait to hear what you think.

Laura Mercier Evolution of Colour for Lips, $28, is four different moist powders (if you can believe that!) in one chic palette. The premise behind the palette is to make your makeup transition from day to night super easy!

The lip powders are made from: castor seed oil and vitamins E and C to moisturize your lips and ensure they are long lasting. They also won't cake or feather in the corners of the mouth (ew) and they all come with a mini lip brush and mirror inside the compact. I've tried the rosebud palette and I'm hooked! Available in five different color spectrums.
