Kim Kardashian's Favorite Eye Liner

I was just perusing Kim Kardashian's blog (you know she's one of my beauty icons) and she's made a New Year's resolution that I think you'll be excited about. She's decided to periodically post her absolute favorite beauty products - so makeup junkies like you and me can cop her style.

First up is her #1 pet eye pencil, Stila's Kajal Eye Liner in Onyx.



Kim says, "Trust me. I've tried every eye liner and this Stila one is so dark and lasts a long time!"

90210 No...OPI's New Collection Is Inspired By The New Series?

As I reported back in July, OPI debuted a limited-edition nail polish collection inspired by Beverly Hills spoiled brats...just not the ones I/we were expecting.

90210 by OPI is comprised of these three shades:

Queen of West Web-erly: purple shimmer

Sweet as Annie-thing! - orange red

Pretty & Privileged - ruby red

Um, OPI - where in the ham sandwich are my Brenda, Kelly and Donna-inspired colors? I realize that this is just a marketing vehicle for the new series, but how badass would it have been to see the above shades to go head-to-head with polishes inspired by the true queens of West Beverly High? How about an inky color to match Dylan's Porsche 356 Speedster? And how simple would it have been to whip up a silvery shade inspired by David? Ugh...this collection had so much promise.

Anybody actually watch this new 90210? Me neither.
