I’ve been eyeing Cargo’s stupid, long-winded new lip gloss (aka blu_ray™ High Definition Lip Gloss with Timestrip® Technology) for a while now.
Not because of the name or the stupid gimmicky time strip crap or the amazing BLU-RAY plumping power (WTF? There is absolutely nothing “blu-ray” about it), but because the Panama shade PERFECTLY matches exactly [...]
I mean, this had to happen eventually, right? My proposed theorem is something along these lines: whenever a douchey new trend/designer comes out, there must inevitably be douches who actually wear/buy their merchandise, thus exposing it to more douches and making it more popular. Someone must inevitably then swoop in and create a douchey/stinky perfume [...]
Ever since I first spotted this natural-haired brush in some makeup artist’s arsenal, I’ve been searching long and hard for my own synthetic version. (I tend to prefer synthetic brush hairs like Too Faced’s Teddy Bear Hair brushes, because they just feel much softer and less prickly on my wussy skin.)
Well, it turns [...]
Don’t get me wrong — I learned that the right brush is dang important for certain makeup jobs, especially eye-related tasks. But give me a break!
I subscribe to Nordstrom’s marketing emails, and they recently sent out a blast about all the Nordstrom beauty exclusives they had coming up in their sale. Being the beauty junkie [...]
Ages ago, I blogged about my recent purchase of Sephora’s The Lash Stash sampler. I systematically tried every single tube, as well as purchasing or redeeming every single other sample-size tube I saw from them, including BadGal, Diorshow, and a Fresh mini duo. And I finally came up with some conclusions!
Sadly, I did not care [...]
Grant and I got engaged last month, and since then everything has been a whirl! We’ve kicked into planning mode, largely because we’re both really enjoying the planning process thus far. But of course, one part of the plan is to lose some weight before the big day, so we both look and feel our [...]
Gosh, it’s been AGES since my last post! Everything from flying out east to being snowed in and no updates. Well, beautyphiles, here’s my year-end summary: The very best product I discovered in 2008 was Cargo‘s Qatar eye shadow.*
Yep, nothing more than one tiny pan in the most basic of basic colors: black. But you [...]
I purchased DuWop’s Gray Eyes kit at Sephora on impulse. It’s a fabulous idea — I often want to touch up my eye makeup at work or just before heading out to happy hour, but I never want to actually carry four or five different shades plus the required brushes. So this tiny streamlined [...]
Man, I was so ready to hate this stuff. I figured that any concealer costing THAT much was pure hype; the next Crème de la Mer and whatnot. I even had the perfect snarky French pun post title all ready: Clé de Peu. See? SO ready for mockery.
But I kept reading so many references to [...]
