Freebie Fest, Part 2

Wow — Sephora’s recent VIB Swag Bag was quite the freebie for me. Many of the items included are things I’ll actually use*, which is rare for me with freebies. There was even a replacement for an existing product of mine! It was nice not to have to spend the $50 minimum for free shipping [...]

With new territories come new… smells

Turns out, tagetes is STINKY! My package from Nature’s Gift arrived recently, and I mixed up a little vial of tagetes essential oil in a neem and avocado oil base. I started anointing dear Grant’s toes with it, and I was wowed by how smelly it is. Not like anything else I’ve smelled, and certainly [...]

Took these babies for a spin today - more heel than I've worn in over a year and a half. Only stalled the clutch twice! http://t.co/fEOekBPS 1 day ago
Ha! RT @kaitlin_olson: Holy shit! Troops! Did you even know about this?? Was it all worth it, or WHAT!? http://t.co/dBTTEspZ 3 days ago
Airport pedicure: yea or nay? 6 days ago
Damn you, Deschanel -- I almost never succumb to checkstand impulses, but this cover is too adorable. http://t.co/SaSrjECF 1 week ago
I pulled off a pretty freakin great cat today -- even looks zingy through the glasses! Liquid liner, OWNED. http://t.co/cecEodOf 2 weeks ago
@LauraMercier Polished! in reply to LauraMercier 2 weeks ago
Which icon do I pee on to see if I'm pregnant? 2 weeks ago
Love this Outer V Brush tutorial from @MakeupGeek -- super helpful and pretty! http://t.co/pRpjuKaA 3 weeks ago
Wow, my favorite @butterLONDON polish did NOT withstand the test of time. Anyone know if short shelf life is typical of all 3-Free formulas? 3 weeks ago
Mountain Rose Herbs giveaway http://t.co/hWdmDt5T 2012-01-04
Love the @mtroseherbs #herbalgiveaway contest -- what a cool way to reward customers! 2012-01-04
Only just now realized that my @LauraMercier Undercover Pot has a mirror in it. No more using my iPhone camera to touch up my makeup, yay! 2012-01-04
Does anyone else use the front-facing camera on their iOS device to put on lipstick? Ever get caught doing that in an elevator? Me neither. 2012-01-04
This is the least useful @Sephora product ever. http://t.co/V7ZRH3jz 2011-12-29

Life is just better when my baubles are properly arranged. 2011-12-16
@BeautySweetSpot Truth be told I haven't used curl-specific products since I got hooked on Moroccanoil. Guess I'll crack open my Be Curly! in reply to BeautySweetSpot 2011-12-16
@ULTA_Beauty & now you get unfollowed for hogging my Twitter feed. Simmer down there, eager social networking intern -- gotta space em out. in reply to ULTA_Beauty 2011-12-16
Yahtzee! Some glorious @Amazon employee found my lost cosmetics case and left it in the kitchen for me to retrieve. Lip balm, I missed you. 2011-12-12
Protecting my raw lips and nostrils with @oyingoodies Burnt Sugar. This cold would be delicious if I could smell or taste anything at all. 2011-12-10
As good as I've theoretically gotten at putting my face on, I still can't master false lashes. @swinkstylebar to the rescue! 2011-12-08
Help! Which flats to go with this dress (http://t.co/LadY9Rn4) at tonight's charity gala? http://t.co/0dj4gXqK 2011-12-08
Cosmetics case MIA :( http://t.co/tFKWVHKH 2011-12-03
Oh, forlorn & underlit "11 & above" designer clearance shoe rack by the heating vent. Don't worry, I still love you. http://t.co/OvZQblIp 2011-12-01
And goddesses. http://t.co/xeXHT5aY 2011-11-22
May the shitty drugstore perfume gods help us all. http://t.co/8H1JfwH5 2011-11-22
Remember those Hot Topic brand ombré-esque striped tights from the 90s? Suddenly I miss those. Also, brr. 2011-11-18
@SureshBeauty I actually got a compliment on it, haha. I think I softened the undead blow with some smoky black liner. Still, close call. :) in reply to SureshBeauty 2011-11-17
Brick reddish eye shadow was a bad choice on this sleepy morning. I look like a goddamn zombie fetishist. @SureshBeauty taught me better! 2011-11-16
@evachen212 Thanks much! in reply to evachen212 2011-11-15
Wow, I kind of wish Jeffrey Campbell would quit making Gaga-esque hoofclods and just go back to making awesome shoes. 2011-11-13
Wish I were in NYC! RT @glamourmag is looking for NYC women ages 18-29 who need a drastic makeover. 2011-11-12
Wow, "Phytodéfrisant" is about the least "défrisant" anti-frizz balm I've ever used. It's downright "frisant," in fact. Save your money! 2011-11-12
My hair has officially gotten so long that sample packets of shampoo or conditioner are just laughable. I need them in triplicate now. 2011-11-11
@Sephora Are you guys still offering free iPhone cases? I just ordered my #4S and I gotta protect my baby! 2011-10-16
This Ballard #Habitude deal is seriously sweet. 1 hr massage (or swap in a facial) + pedicure + sauna for $94! http://t.co/sqlUQnPe 2011-10-07
Wow, #Nexus -- what a total waste of packaging for a sample I didn't ask for. This weighed like half a pound. http://t.co/o5WiUmny 2011-10-07
Oh stripes. I've missed you. 2011-10-06
Ingredient awareness on the rise? http://t.co/V0zNnCRM 2011-09-30
@SureshBeauty Didn't you do a Barbie birthday cake way back when? Could you send a link to that if it's out there online? 2011-09-02
I don't think I can pull off pigtails at my new employer. Sad! #allgrownupnow 2011-07-21
@carinalee I finally tracked down your famous Physicians Formula concealer at Bed Bath & Beyond, of all places. It really is awesome!! 2011-07-08
I've heard of pop-up restaurants, but not pop-up salons. Weird but possibly awesome? http://t.co/O1mCFas 2011-06-30
This… can't end well, right? I just want a squeaky clean bathtub, not a bubblocalypse! http://t.co/j6O3nfG 2011-06-26
@Sephora Brazil! I was just there in February, but I was too travelflustered to check BatB and pick up some Pequi product. :( #GoodHairWeek in reply to Sephora 2011-06-20
Update on lies and oils, respectively http://nblo.gs/jj25h 2011-06-18
Finally found a good use for that funky spring green liner I wound up getting from an MUA swap. http://t.co/sbOQceY 2011-06-18
This can't possibly last. http://t.co/SV2UWCj 2011-05-30
Second beauty store today where the employees are too young to recall reformulations/discontinued products. #gettinold (@ Kiehl's) 2011-05-28
Aaand they've officially phased out every conditioner I liked. (@ Aveda Experience Center - University Village) http://ow.ly/1thjya 2011-05-28
