So, it was that time of day yesterday when I had to remove my mascara. I reached out and grabbed my latest beauty curiosity: Talika Lash Conditioning Cleanser. I put a bit of the cleanser on a cotton pad and began removing my mascara. Wow. Not once it irritated my eyes, even if I rubbed some of the cleanser into my eyes by mistake (umm..does this sound familiar?) And, it wasn’t oily!! Oil based eye makeup removers cloud my eyes sometimes, if I’m not careful.

All in all, Talika Lash Conditioning Cleanser is a keeper & thanks again Talika!

Talika Lash Conditioning Cleanser, $24: An oil-free eye make-up remover for waterproof mascara. Who should use it ?

NARS Larger than Life Volumizing Mascara: It features a signature, square brush with fibers called honeycomb, designed for maximum product pick-up and perfectly even distribution.

NARS Larger than Life Lengthening Mascara: The unique conical wand of high-tech fiber bristles encourages separation and definition, and unique nylon fibers cling to lashes for pronounced lengthening.

Sienna Miller was wearing CHANEL Beauté makeup at the U.S. premiere of G.I. Joe, Thursday, August 6, Los Angeles, CA.

Here is how to get Sienna Miller’s makeup look at the U.S. premiere of G.I. Joe:

Makeup Artist Kate Lee: Beauty Inspiration: “Sienna was really keen to embrace the spirit of old Hollywood for the premiere of GI Joe at the Chinese Theatre. The dress was a glamorous YSL silk chiffon encrusted with beads in a kind of neutral colour. ”

Beauty Tip:”Adir Abergel and I wanted to create a look that would be classical but modern. It was Sienna’s idea to go with a strong lip. I kept the rest of the make up very neutral, gently sculpting the cheek bones with a mixture of Soleil Tan de CHANEL and CHANEL Powder Blush in Tempting Beige. The eyes were clean and simple to bring the attention to the lip. I used CHANEL Éclat Lumière in Beige Rosé all over the lid and then shaded in the sockets with CHANEL Soft Touch Eyeshadow in Sand. I spent quite a bit of time on the brows to lengthen them, and after lashings of Exceptionnel de CHANEL in Smoky-Noir, I added both individual and cut up strip lashes. The lips were a mixture of two CHANEL Rouge Allure shades, Fatale and Obscure, both launching this Fall.”
