Kim Kardashian And Christina Aguilera Have Something In common

Questionable-looking eyebrows.

I'm not even going to start on Christina's orange skin or Kim's overuse of furry animals as eyelash supplements. It's their eyebrows that make me raise mine. Both showed up for the LACMA red carpet sporting too light eyebrows. In Christina's case it's obviously intentional, while Kim's look like someone has forgotten the brow filler. Or maybe it was also done on purpose. Was there a memo I didn't get? Is this what we do now? I'll pass, though.

On the other hand here's Nicole Richie at the same event showing the world how to wear a bold(ish) eye shadow. She's gorgeous and this shade brings out her eye color. Redemption is a very beautiful thing.

The Eyes Have It

I'm oddly fascinated with Kim Kardashian's eye makeup for the CEW Awards. She's so beautiful and so artificial.  She's carrying her weight in fake eyelashes, but would it work on the average person? Would we even want to? The dress color is gorgeous on her, that's for sure.

And here's Jennifer Lopez taking that all eyes, no lips look to the extreme. Again. I like the charcoal eyeliner on her. It really makes her eyes stand out.

Kim Kardashian Perfume by Kim Kardashian

The story is that in "creating" her own scent Kim Kardashian was inspired by her favorite perfume, Michael by Michael Kors. I happen to really like Michael (at least in extrait de parfum concentration which I dab, not spray), which is a big tuberose with a sexy and sweet incense base, and I take offense both for Mr. Kors and for myself. While Kim Kardashian (the perfume, not the questionable celeb) is, indeed, built around something that smells like cheap white flowers, it lacks the exhilarating character of tubersoe. Actually, it just lacks character, period.

There's the obligatory sweet mandarin orange in the top, a sweet musky thing in the base, and a whole lot of sweet nothing for the two or three hours the perfume stays on my skin. The only thing mildly interesting about Kim Kardashian's perfume is the question how long it is going to remain in production before disappearing into the land of eternal discounters.

Kim Kardashian EDP ($35, 1 oz) is available from Sephora. They give away samples with just about everything you buy there.

Do.Not.Want

1. ...to smell like Kim Kardashian. No way, no how.

2. Britney Spears' fashion sense. Or hair.

3. Coral makeup. Sorry, Bobbi Brown. Notice that the new Cabana Coral range doesn't have a photo of a model actually wearing this stuff.

4. Light Denim. According to the newsletter from Paperlime, it's the new black. Just say no.

5. Katy Perry's bangs.
