What do JWOWW and Sammi of Jersey Shore fame have in common with the cast of Twilight?  Other then sucking the blood of their unsuspecting victims, is an appreciation for a good pair of faux eyelashes!  The Jersey girls picked theirs up at a recent MTV event and the Twilight crew were fitted with theirs for the Twilight Eclipse premiere a couple of weeks ago.  So whether you are a vampire or a skank, Lash Royalty has the lashes for you!  Hmmm, that didn't come out quite right did it?  Anyhoo, if you want to look flirty or sultry without the scary cheap spider look that you get from some lashes you will want to give Lash Royalty lashes a try.  You can either buy them here or better yet, why don't you win yourself a pair!

Would false eyelashes have made Bella less moody or helped out her relationship with Edward?  We'll never know for sure but for the official Twilight Eclipse Red Carpet Premiere, you can expect to see Lash Royalty luxury eyelashes on some of your favourite Twilight stars!  After some begging, pleading and threats of blood sucking, Lash Royalty has agreed to pony up some of the same lashes they will be using at the premiere so keep an eye out for that contest coming soon!

I knew someday my pale skin would be super fashionable!  The Canadian Press reports that thanks to Twilight the sale of bronzer is way down while vampire friendly cosmetics such as light foundation and pale powder are up!  MAC will be jumping on the bandwagon this spring with their Pale 'n Dandy collection as did Lise Watier who has released a porcelain foundation and illuminating powder.

Now trends are fun and everything but I have to say that lately I have seen more then a few girls wearing foundation that was waaaaay to light for them - it's just not flattering to look that sun deprived unless you have fangs. Remember the key to an attractive pale and ethereal look is to only go a shade or two lighter then your natural skin tone.

I knew there had to be a reason I'm always so cold and pale, I'm already undead!

A line of  Luna Twilight cosmetics  I must confess, I have never heard of this line before, but I betcha with the Twilight tie in that the teens (and cougars) will be eating this up.  The palettes were quite lovely and named after the ladies in the movie - Bella, Victoria, Alice and Rosalie.  Alice and Victoria are quite colourful and Bella (pictured left) and Rosalie are more neutral.  I liked them all but at $30 for a no-name brand, fairly small palette I haven't made a final decision yet.

Also interesting in this collection was a line of "Just Bitten" Staining balms in 4 colours, 2 of which are red as you can imagine. $19 and "Mortal Glow" blushing creme, which I just like for the name.  There are also a body and face glow (so you too can sparkle?) and some mascara, but nothing else really grabbed me.

If you have any teens or tweens (or dirty old ladies) on your Christmas shopping list, this might be just the ticket!  I also found this line on the Nordstrom site here if you want to have a look!  I'm off to have a cold shower!
