I’m a gloss gal. I have a couple of liquid matte lipsticks that I can and do wear on occasion, but if I’m not wearing a traditional bullet lipstick, it’s lipgloss that I reach for. Over the past couple of years, Anastasia Beverly Hills Lipgloss (reviewed here, here and here) has been my go-to. Since …
Today is National Lipstick Day. While not a holiday that everyone celebrates, it’s a day I want to recognize. Lipstick is my favorite item of makeup. When I was a little girl, it was the first makeup that I wanted. I loved Halloween because it was the one day that my mother would let me …
I haven’t bought any drugstore makeup in a long time, but the CVS Extrabucks and 30% off coupon were burning a hole in my pocket. Not sure what attracted me to the Maybelline Color Sensational Shine Compulsion Lipstick (whew, what a long name!). It was probably the rose gold case that did it. The rose …
I have a couple of lipstick lines that I just love (Tarte Lip Sculptor – review – and Too Faced La Creme – review), and now I can add Jesse’s Girl Lipstick 18 to that exclusive club. About 6 weeks ago, I was sent the entire range of Jesse’s Girl Lipstick 18 that consists of …
When I was waiting for a prescription at CVS a couple of weeks ago, I killed time by doing a once around the store. I ran into a new display sticking out into one of the aisles in the crowded little CVS near me. The display was for RK from KISS, the company best known …
Liquid matte lipsticks may still be on trend, but with my dry lips, I’m always on the lookout for hydrating lipsticks.

Last fall, I reviewed and swatched several shades from Milani’s new Amore Matte Lip Creme line here. The matte liquid lipstick trend is still going strong so Milani has added 10 more limited edition colors to their lineup this fall. I received 4 new shades: 28 Darling: pink-beige, almost the color of my lips 31 …
OK, if you hear me panting, it’s because I was sent the amazing new NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream Vault. I’m giving you a sneak peek because this huge vault that is made up of travel size versions of the Soft Matte Lip Creams doesn’t launch till next week, October 23 to be exact, at Ulta …
I was going to skip posting today, Friday, because summer Fridays can be slow. People are already starting their weekends. But when I discovered that today is National Lipstick Day, I couldn’t let the occasion pass by without mentioning an interesting experience I had the other day when I was wearing ColourPop Ultra Satin Lip …
I’m always on the lookout for long wearing lipsticks for those times when it’s inconvenient to reapply my lipstick. And I’m always listening for everyone’s recommendations. Over the past several months, I’ve picked up three affordable long wearing lipsticks from the drugstore. A couple of them were mentioned in a Facebook group for makeup artists …
Just when I thought I already found my new HG matte lipsticks, I received the new Modern Matte line of lipsticks from Jordana. I’ve become obsessed with them. Here’s what Jordana has to say about their new matte lipsticks: Modern Matte Lipsticks are a Winning Combination of High Payoff Pigments and Special Ingredients that …
I’ve just come back from our vacation in Arizona, but I’m not quite back in the swing of things yet. We had a great time, and I’d love to share a few more pix, especially of gorgeous Sedona. But I’d like to submit a quick post announcing the winner of the Lorac Riesling Romance Eyeshadow …
