Trend Watch: Colored Mascara

If you beauties read my previous post, you know that I'm drooling over the upcoming fall trend- bright lashes.
I came across the most gorgeous purple Lancome mascara at work the other day, but the $26 price tag was a little scary even with my employee discount. 
So I did some research. What other brands even make colored mascaras? The conclusion? LOTS.
Here are the most noteworthy:

Dior Diorshow Mascara
I would love to get my paws on some diorshow, don't get it twisted. But if I'm gonna spend big on a mascara, it better be one that I know I'll use. Especially since mascara has such a short shelf life. If your pocketbook isn't as tight as mine, this bad boy is definitely worth a look.
$25 at Sephora.


This would be the mascara that has been teasing me every day at work. Check out that tapered brush with a billion bristles and creamy rich violet formula. I love this. If only I had $26.

Possibly the most unexpected addition to my list if not because of its award winning status, the fact that it's only about $5. And word on the street is they're adding many more exciting colors to the collection! I would without a doubt spend/possibly waste a few dollars on this mascara,
I envision a review in the near future!

An expert tip I've learned from work: To avoid looking overly dramatic, only use the colored mascara on the bottom lashes. Using a black thickening mascara on the top lashes will help open up your eyes and add a bit of color. Tom Pecheux is the mastermind behind this tip, and Estee Lauder took full advantage of his brilliance!

Trend Watch: Cat Eyes

Check out this amazing array of winged liner looks!

I found this photo randomly on Tumblr when looking through the makeup tag, so I'm not sure of the original owner. If anyone knows who this belongs to please let me know so I can credit them.
These looks are all so beautiful. I'm especially digging the super thick liner on the upper lids.
9, 13, 17, 18 are my faves that I will be trying to recreate!
Do you love or loathe the bold eye trend?
Tell me which looks you're lovin'!
