Can you believe today’s technology? I just snapped this picture & edited it entirely on my iPhone… because I couldn’t wait for the camera to share them with you!

Lime Crime Eyeliners — or Uniliners as we like to call them cause it’s cuter that way! — are launching NEXT WEEK! After a year and a half in development, I feel like I’m sending my babies off to sail the open sea for the first time… Safe sailing, my darlings!

Uniliners are super-close to my heart because the took the longest. After a year and a half in development, I can promise you that my 7 eye-popping, opaque shades were worth the wait. Even the black isn’t your regular black — it dries extra-dark & glossy! And the best news, they are only $14 a pop (compare to all the usual boring stuff you find at Sephora for $18)!

As ecstatic as I am about their completion and release, my ultimate satisfaction comes from you liking them. I hope my babies bring lots of joy to all the strange girls out there, strange enough to put chartreuse-yellow on their eyes. :))) If you’re as excited about them as I am, please feel free to re-post this picture wherever you like. I LOVE YOU!!!

I’m not a professional interior designer or anything like that. I just enjoy decorating spaces. When Zooey Magazine expressed their interest in coming over and interviewing me about my decorating choices, I was ecstatic: I spend a lot of time beautifying my surroundings, but somehow almost never get to talk about it!

In contrast to our Brooklyn apartment – a rainbow-licious candyland dubbed “the unicorn house” – our Los Angeles condo is a reflection of my growth. For the first time I feel comfortable to explore things outside my usual spectrum, dig deeper into my inspirations and express myself on a whole new level.

During our chat I discovered that almost nothing we own is new. I have a penchant for things with an old-timey flare, plus I truly enjoy thrifting too much. Flea-markets feel like a mini-vacation to my mind.

I would like to extend my gratitude to Zooey Magazine for giving me the opportunity to share my home with the world, and for the pleasure of working with their friendly team.

As a long-time fan of the Russian duo t.A.T.u. (All The Things She Said, anyone??), I was ecstatic to learn that the redhead, Lena Katina now lives in Los Angeles and has her own solo project. After a brief lunch, we knew it was meant to be. Lena and her boyfriend came over for Thanksgiving and before I knew it I was invited to design two makeup looks for her new video Melody (a collab with Clark Owen).

Makeup breakdown

One look was a classic ‘siren’ — cat liner, lashes, classic red lips. My favorite, however, was the ‘party’ look that involved lots of blue glitter to match her sparkling sequinned dress. I loved it, she looked like a mermaid!

Eyes: Shoe Addict magic dust + blue glitter
Cheeks: Cosmopop
Lips: Cosmopop with a touch of Golden Ticket in the middle

BEHIND THE SCENES

Doing Lena’s makeup

Lena and Clark during one of their many takes (seriously, I was amazed how many times they sang the song over and over again, for different camera angles — and didn’t even complain once!).

The video was shot in Hollywood Hills, with a gorgeous view of the city.
