When it comes to beauty, sometimes bigger is better. Luscious bombshell hair, shiny kissable pouts and flirty long lashes all point to the femme fatale look that has been toted as the sexy standard for years.
Not born with Kim Kardashian locks, Angelina Jolie lips or Eva Longoria lashes? So what? We'll tell you how to get all three by following just a few easy steps that are tried and true and expert approved! Check 'em out!
Full Bodied Hair - Skip the expensive salon blow outs and do these quick and simple steps at home!
On damp hair, rub in a quarter sized amount of volumizing serum or mousse between your hands and work it through your hair, focusing on the roots.
Turn your hair upside down to brush smooth and blow-dry. Style as usual, being careful to be more gentle at the roots. Finish it off with a few last spritzes of volumizing hairspray.
Pouty Kissable Lips - Make your lips appear fuller with just the help of a little white shadow shimmer and lip liner!
Place a small dot of shimmer in the bow of your upper lip and gently blend. Carefully line just outside of your natural lip line with a freshly sharpened lip liner. Focus more on the bow of the upper lip and the middle of the lower lip, tapering and fading out in the corners.
Fill the lip with a corresponding lip color and blend with a lip brush. Add a small dot of white shimmer in the center of the upper and lower lip and finish off with a coat of clear high shine lip gloss. Besos!
Thicker Longer Lashes - This method works best if you do one eye at a time. Using a spoolie (an empty mascara brush), lightly brush your lashes so they're separated. Curl lashes and brush on a lengthening mascara, wiggling from the root to the tip for even coverage.
Then apply a coat of volumizing mascara, also being sure to focus on wiggling the wand from roots to tip for maximum potential. Repeat these steps for the other eye.
After both eyes are complete, apply one more coat of volumizing mascara and voila! Long flirty lashes!

Daily Obsesh - Panasonic Electric Eyelash Curler

I have always coveted those women with sultry eyes masked in lusciously thick, long, dark eyelashes. From Cleopatra to Marilyn Monroe and even, dare I say, Kim Kardashian, women with long eyelashes exude a sense of sexiness that I think is totally unmatched. And most women would agree! Just look at what we go through to mimic their look - lash curlers, fake eyelashes, eyelash tints and even tattooing along the lash line for a permanent eyeliner look, not to mention the hundreds and hundreds of dollars we have tossed away over the years at various drugstores, cosmetic counters at the mall and Sephora, on what we thought was a miracle in a mascara tube.
We've tortured ourselves with fakies becoming unglued in the most embarrassing of moments (I think mine might have fallen in to my cosmo one night at a bar as I was chatting up some sweet young thing). We've screeched in pain as we've accidentally clamped down on our lids with a curler in the hopes of sculpting our lashes back far enough to graze our foreheads. And what about all those half used tubes a black tar that we've cast away frustrated with their empty promises? Yet, with every new product on the market, there is another glimmer of hope.
Enter modern day's newest invention - the Panasonic Electric Eyelash Curler! Eyelashes are gently lifted and enhanced with luscious curves for natural looking beauty with double-action heated pads. This electric curler creates longer lasting curls so you can bat those beautiful lashes all day and night and, like the old saying goes, if you got it, flaunt it! If you don't? Fake it!
