• Oprah’s not a hairdresser, but she did chop about nine inches off of Hilary Swank’s mane — which was then donated to Pantene Beautiful Lengths. The segment will air on Oprah’s show Friday. Wonder if either of them read about how sometimes writing a check is better? [People]
  
• Lance Armstrong and Ashley Olsen: Still at it. The couple had dinner at New York’s Waverly Inn, owned by Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter. [Page Six]
  
• Was Gisele Bundchen a witch for Halloween? She cut the line at a haunted house in New York. [Page Six]
  
• Paul McCartney’s soon-to-be-ex-wife, Heather Mills, is so upset about being branded a “whore and a gold digger” that she has thoughts of suicide. “I considered killing myself because I thought, if I am dead, [Beatrice] can be safe with her father,” she says. [Page Six]

I guess I’m picky about my mascara (what woman isn’t?), but I’ve struck out again with Estee Lauder Projectionist Mascara.

This mascara is intended to lengthen, thicken, define and create lustrous lashes. I tried this mascara so many times, hoping it would magically start yielding good results, but to no avail. There was no volume, no length, and there was also mild clumping. My lashes did look somewhat glossy, thanks to the pearl-enhanced formula, but really the effect was nothing special. The formula is very dry, and each coat barely deposited any mascara onto my lashes. The brush is a nice size and shape, but that is only half the battle!

Honestly, we can’t believe they’re on sale, as they remain the perfect office business pant. We rarely cover office-appropriate attire here, preferring, apparently, velvet rompers, but we just couldn’t love these more, having tried them on like three billion times before committing. Just because we were all: Black pants? Really? Would we not prefer the velvet romper? Still: Sometimes you need to not look like a freak.

Alvin Valley Lana pants, were $270, now $135

Sounds like a sweet treat, doesn’t it? Well that’s how the Lollipop Jewels subtexted their products. I thought their assorted accessories for girls are just too cute for words.

We looooove Jocasi, and we’ve bought their stuff loads of times, if only to tragically, and universally, give it away all present-like. This is depressing but effective, since the present-receivers’ happiness is usually equal to our anger \ sadness, if you know what we mean.

Anyway: 10% off is what we’ll be getting with discount code “bunnyshop” all month. We are quite excited about this. We would like to vouch for the efficacy and speed, unless ‘efficacy’ means ’speed,’ which we’re not entirely sure about, of their transatlantic delivery system.

While its a little late for Halloween-y lash buying online (Happy Halloween, by the way!), Shu Uemura has one day of free shipping - and thats today. Use the code, OURTREAT, at checkout!

It is not too late for me to buy some new lashes for my trip to Blog World Expo in Vegas next week, so count me in. I have worn many, many different kinds of lashes, and bar none, Shu’s are the best.

Sometimes you need to add a touch of back-to-school fun to your day, a day to reminisce about those cheeky schoolgirl antics and recall the simple life of toting your favorite bag stuffed with magazines, gum, BFF phone numbers, and makeup for the day.  A satchel was all it took back in the day, and now it enjoys a revival with this:

Did anyone else just love the shit out of The Worst Witch growing up? Starring Fairuza Balk as witch-in-training Mildred Hubble, Tim Curry as the Grand Wizard, and Charlotte Rae (aka Mrs. Garrett) in a double role as teacher Miss Cackle and her evil twin sister Agatha, it first aired on TV in 1986. For me, it was one of those staples (like It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown and any of the Halloweens) that always came on TV every year, and made the holiday actually feel like a season, rather than one day. When I re-watched it this week, I loved it just as much but couldn’t believe how public access Tim Curry’s “Anything Can Happen on Halloween” number is.

Before, I didn’t really see the need for eyeshadow primers. You see, I bought the Smashbox eyeshadow/lip primer before and it did nothing, absolutely nothing, for me- except maybe reduced the redness of my eyes so then the color appears better. But I can achieve that with a little application of my YSL Touche Elcat. Nevertheless, being the beauty addict that I am, the other day I got the Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion after hearing so many rave reviews about it- and now I am a convert.

At first I wasn’t sure if I was just having a good eyeshadow day or it was the potion, but after having had 3 good eyeshadow days I am pretty confident that it was the potion. And by “good eyeshadow day” I mean going a whole day (morning till night) with no crease, no smudging and sharp color! Its really quite incredible. I didn’t think it was possible. Oh and another point is that it literally glides on and really creates a nice smooth surface for eyeshadow application that really sticks. And no, I did not just copied that from the blurb on Sephora. And since I’m about the most oblivious person around when it comes to the whether a beauty product works game, this product really DOES make a difference! So if you haven’t already- I highly recommend it!

Ps. Happy Halloween!

So we have long maintained that Le Sportsac—it is so weird, we actually cannot hear anything in our head but “Le Sport Suck” … ooh, copy writing job, here we come! Anyway, our friend \ soulmate K. was accompanying us on a sizable portion of our book tour, and, in the process, counting for a sizable portion of the audience and contributing a sizable portion of our emotional stability. We digress. In any case, she was with us for like five days, and managed to get everything in one nof her like nine LSSs she purchased last year at a sample sale. She had asked us to go to this sample sale, and we were all, “Pass,” and quite snotty about it, but now, as with so many things, we are totally envious.

We don’t know—sometimes they go a little Vera Bradley for us, but in general, we’re totally into them. As K. says: “And it’s good for like a few nights, and only $80! And not, like $200!” It’s weird: We don’t totally swoon over any of them, really, but if someone gave us one, we would be soooo happy. And by the way, their website is totally fun, as you can just choose a blank bag and then see how it looks with all the different patterns. We’re easily amused.
