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 [...] As part of my Wedding Skincare Vows, I really wanted to start taking better care of my nails. (It doesn’t feel right showing off my fiancé’s late grandmother’s heirloom ring with raggedy fingernails and cuticles.) So I went out and invested in several of these bad boys, so I’d always have one on hand: [...] 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 [...] I recently became interested in cream and gel eyeliner formulas, after reading some EDS raves about how long-lasting and smudge-proof MAC Fluidline is. And I wound up doing a couple of MUA swaps in which I inherited a MAC Fluidline pot and a Smashbox Cream Eyeliner, so suddenly I had a cheap and easy way [...] So I was finally able to try out my new Clarisonic last night. I didn’t really want to internalize all the information about how to program it to scrub at different speeds or for different lengths of time, so I kind of just plugged it in and hit go. My first impression? …Underwhelmed. I used [...] I was so antsy for Clarisonic cleansing after I spotted my tax return deposit in my bank account. So I called Nordstrom to see if their shipment had by chance come in over the weekend, and lo and behold, it had! So of course, I scheduled the rest of my day around my purchase. The [...] I was chatting with my hairstylist during my last cut, and she mentioned that she saw CHI hair straighteners on sale at Costco for around $70. Considering that they normally retail for about $200, my interest was piqued! So I got inspired and started poking around the Costco website, to see what sorts of beauty [...] My tax return showed up via direct deposit this week. So now I can officially afford to indulge in a Clarisonic. I have to find out if Nordstrom has gotten any back in stock yet! I don’t want to wait another day. Darn that Oprah for making it so popular! The more I delve into low- or no-preservative skincare, the more I can appreciate the idea of a bathroom fridge. Dear Grant thinks it’s a bit crazy, but the fact is, all my favorite products are prone to early spoilage!
