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 [...]

New spring lipstick trend! http://t.co/jhtU3ubZ 1 week ago
South Carolina trend watch: sparkly wedge sandals. Maybe that's always been a thing here. 3 weeks ago
@wilw There's a great manicure place in Concourse C. in reply to wilw 3 weeks ago
Oh snap. My husband just pointed out that I did my hair like Cersei today, & he's totally right. (#Game of... Combs?) 2012-04-12
This @Sephora Advanced Lash Whatever stuff takes the Worst Mascara Ever prize. Total raccoon eyes from moderate atmospheric humidity; WTF?! 2012-04-09
Sooo many long dark Katniss braids today. I wonder if anyone will light their clothes on fire after lunch. 2012-04-05
@SureshBeauty Hot! I love it! in reply to SureshBeauty 2012-03-26
New makeup resolution: I shall not select foundation/tinted moisturizer samples at checkout, for they will never be my color. 2012-03-26
Oh, Emma Stone for Revlon. You had me until "Lip Butter." 2012-03-25
OK, Tweeps. Does anyone else feel like the hair near the nape of their neck is a completely different (split-endier) texture than the rest? 2012-03-13
Wow, @Sephora upped the ante with their birthday gift this year. @FreshFounder lip balm duo is something I'd actually consider paying for! 2012-03-10
@caiolicri This is my beauty/makeup Twitter handle. :) 2012-02-15
It's vain, I know, but I seriously cannot get over how hot my hair looks today. All thanks to Greta @VAINBeautyWorld! http://t.co/0HBSGZTF 2012-02-14
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 2012-02-05
Ha! RT @kaitlin_olson: Holy shit! Troops! Did you even know about this?? Was it all worth it, or WHAT!? http://t.co/dBTTEspZ 2012-02-03
Airport pedicure: yea or nay? 2012-01-30
Damn you, Deschanel -- I almost never succumb to checkstand impulses, but this cover is too adorable. http://t.co/SaSrjECF 2012-01-24
I pulled off a pretty freakin great cat today -- even looks zingy through the glasses! Liquid liner, OWNED. http://t.co/cecEodOf 2012-01-23
@LauraMercier Polished! in reply to LauraMercier 2012-01-22
Which icon do I pee on to see if I'm pregnant? 2012-01-22
Love this Outer V Brush tutorial from @MakeupGeek -- super helpful and pretty! http://t.co/pRpjuKaA 2012-01-15
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? 2012-01-15
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
http://t.co/FTIyYApw 2011-12-16
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
