Katy Perry Eyelashes Created by Eylure in Oh My!

Katy Perry eyelashes are here! We don't mean her actual eyelashes are hanging out on our desk or anything (that would be odd), but her new faux lashes created by Eylure are finally available for peeping. The line doesn't officially go on sale at Ulta stores until Valentine's Day, but In Style got an exclusive first look at the products. When we first heard about the line, we imagined the lashes would be a cross between neon glitter diva and sultry pinup, but boy, were we wrong! There isn't a trace of sparkle or wild tint (not even to match her new blue 'do); in fact, the lashes are actually quite tame and functional. They're perfect for everyday wear or for vamping it up on a night out. What's even better, Miss Perry gave In Style her tips on how to wear them.

The Oh My! lashes (above) may appear thick and dramatic, but Perry says they're full of texture and "very lightweight." We'd definitely deem these to be in the going-out category, as they're juuuust dramatic enough yet not too crazy that our date would want to escape our raccoon-like gaze. We also really like the Oh, Honey! lashes, and so does Katy. "I love the vintage flick at the corners that this lash gives me!" Perry said. "They're full, fun, and great for both daytime and evening wear." See? Totally versatile! Be sure to check out Sweetie Pie, offering a more natural look for "anyone who wants to try false lashes for the first time," Katy says. Or go for the Cool Kitty variety for a smokey-eye feel that Katy says are her favorite. *Purr*

Rihanna is no longer a brunette!

On Thursday the Talk That Talk singer showed off her new blonde tresses while getting beatified for her first cover shoot of the year with Elle magazine.

What do U think of RiRi's new 'do???

Anyone? Anyone? My friends were RAVING so I HAD to look into it!

Unfamilar?

Where Pinterest really shines, is that you can browse pinboards created by other people. When you find something you like on a friend’s board, you can share it, comment, or re-pin the link to your board. Pinterest is also integrated with Facebook, so you can spot trends and borrow ideas from people you like.

Just like Facebook's wall feature, pins that have high velocity spread quickly throughout networks.  This can be a powerful tool for marketers, designers, stores, thought leaders, etc. to spread their products and influence to new audiences.  Not only is Pinterest so great for discovering and organizing ideas, it's an amazing tool increase your own exposure and promote your products.

TREND: Milkmaid braids

WHO'S WEARING IT:  Kaley Cuoco, Ariel Winter, Dianna Agron and Mayim Bialik

HOW TO WEAR IT: Milkmaid braids have been around the block—remember when Sienna Miller pioneered the Heidi-inspired style for the red carpet back in 2007? But when a plethora of plaits were spotted at the SAG Awards yesterday, we knew the trend was still alive and kicking. However, it can be tricky to get the braided style just right. Kaley's thick plait and center part make her look like she's fresh from the Swiss Alps, and Mayim's style is a bit messy. While Ariel's long curls are completely sweet and age-appropriate, it does remind us a bit of a prom hairstyle. For a sophisticated and fresh take on the style, take notes from Dianna with a thin fishtail braid with a deep side part. If you're worried about managing the tiny plaits, just fake it with a braided headband—we won't tell!
