Midnight Madness....

Seems that the world has been "glamoured" into loving things that go bump in the night. Audiences have been love bitten by Twilight, HBO's "True Blood," and The CW's "The Vampire Diaries." Making vampire pop culture more popular than ever. Let's toast to this madness with a little after dark beauty. Pick and choose products to be the queen of your night.

Let's start this off with a bang:

1. Kat Von D for Sephora - Perfume in- "Sinner" $55

Intoxicating! As this smell lingers it's bound to leave you on someone's mind....

2. Sephora by O.P.I - Nail Colour in "Dark Room" $55

"Bid adieu" to the tired french manicure. Try this black tweaked with forrest green. Be a rebel.

3. Lancôme - Declaring Indigo limited-edition color design

palette liberty in "Golden Audacity" $42

Think outside of the box of greys, and blacks with a sexy new idea for a smoky eye look in indigo and gold! Absolutely hypnotising.

4. M.A.C Cosmetics - Lipstick- In "Ruby Woo" $14.00

No doubt about it, from makeup artists, beauty editors, and all over the blogosphere this is a favorite across the board. Rock this blood stained lip look with a little clear gloss on top! Sinfully sexy.

5. Benefit Cosmetics - Face powder in "Thrrrob" - $28

Ultra light, and seductive this mimicks your cheeks natural flush when you're in an...errr... lustful situation.

6. mark. - on the edge hook up liquid eye liner- in "cleo" $5.50

Liquid liner is almost always present when trying to evoke your inner bad girl, this one has a great precise tip for any type of drama you're looking for.

7. Givenchy -Phenomen'eyes mascara- in "Phenomen'Black" $28

This will top off your look and make you look as untouchable as it's precision wand.

8. Hair - Try the Herbal Essences collection "Tousle me softly" for a low cost way to achieve sex kitten hair!

On a fashion note: Finish up whatever makeup you've mixed and matched for this look with a hot coverup. Just about every true badgirl out there owns a motorcycle jacket. This is one of my favorites:

Express- (Minus the) Leather Motorcycle Jacket - In "black" $118

and for an inexpensive alternative:

Forever 21 - Slant Zipper Cropped Moto Jacket - in "black" $32.80

For girls on the go...

Let's face it. Time is everything! To some people it isn't as important to rise at dawn just to "put your face on" than it is to slap the Snooze button a dozen times. I know, I'm one of them. Now you don't have to go about your day looking like an ogre. Whether you're a college student, business woman or mother of 4 --great news-- there are so many options to get a little extra shut eye, and still look fabulous!

1. Avon "In a Wink Instant Eyeshadow Sheets" (14 sheets) - $9.00

No need to buy shadow, brushes and then blend, this does it for you. Close your eyes and with just a rub on the back of the paper you get a professional look in seconds.

2. Covergirl "Outlast Lipstain" - $7.49

I know they look like sharpies! But I swear by this. One application lasts for hours. It mocks that old school "highlighter"trick. Yes, a real highlighter. Though this is only meant for your lips and with much cooler colors. Put some chapstick over it and you have

a colored lipgloss.

3. Lancôme "Oscillation Mascara"- $34.00

Mascara with motors? Worth a shot! If you're anything like me, then sadly you spend a decent amount of time coiffing your eyelashes with your favorite mascara. Coat after coat. Separation after separation. In ONE MINUTE this oscillates 7,000 times and coats your lashes perfectly! (Maybelline has an alternative version as well.)

4. Almay "Smart Shade Blush" - $8.99

This product does all the work for you. This adjusts to your skin tone and all you need is a pea sized amount to achieve a flirty glow in seconds.

5. Aquolina "Pink Sugar Creamy Perfume Solid" - $22.00

This little compact can be tucked into your purse. It's solid, so there's no fear of spilling or breaking. The smell is delicious and lasts for hours!

6. Oscar Blandi "Pronto-Dry Shampoo" - $21.00

Overslept and it's hair washing day? No worries, you won't look like a grease ball on my watch! With this spray you get what every professional wash and blowout gives you: Removal of oil and buildup and long lasting volume! It will also leave your hair smelling fresh and revitalized.
