As the gifting and wish list season is getting to be in full swing, I want to make sure you don’t overlook the new 6 pan customizable neutral eyeshadow palette from butterLONDON, the ShadowClutch. Perfect for travel or even keeping in your bag everyday, the super cool bit about it is that you can swap …
I’m so excited that it’s going to be 60 degrees today in Boston in almost mid-December! Thank you, thank you! All the better to do holiday shopping or just do fun things outdoors. I couldn’t be happier! Hope it’s as nice where you are. I’m mostly finished with my shopping. How’s it going for you? …
PUR Minerals has been on my radar for quite a while. Whenever I go to Ulta, I always check out the new makeup from PUR. In fact, I just bought the new PUR Eye Polish last week, so stay tuned for my review. Recently, PUR generously sent me PUR Cameo Contour, a very cool double-ended …
For some reason, I haven’t been using gel liners for a long time. But I decided I needed to go back to a gel liner to see if I could get a smoother line on my upper lid and see if it would be easier for me to make a good looking wing. Also, I …
This past weekend, I discovered new Maybelline Color Tattoo Eye Crayons in a display at my local CVS. It was buried on a dark lower shelf, but somehow I happened to spot it. I picked up two shades out of 10, though I don’t think the CVS display had all 10 shades. The shades I …
Coming right on the heels of new products like PUR Cameo Contour Sticks (reviewed here) and PUR Eye Polish that I still haven’t reviewed yet is a new line of lightweight foundation, PUR HydraFluid Water Serum Foundation. I didn’t realize that PUR’s tagline is The Complexion Authority. But I studied their website, and they have an …
Don’t stay up too late watching TV and your fellow bloggers’ Facebook feeds, lol! It can be dangerous! That’s what I did a couple of weeks ago. It was a Friday night, Jeff was watching boxing (that I hate), and I was working on my blog but checking my Facebook feed, when I saw a …
I’ve wanted to try Cindy Lou Manizer Luminzer from theBalm for ages and ages. Finally, it was on sale on Hautelook for half off, so I took the plunge. I love the all of the fun, witty packaging from theBalm, and the Cindy Lou Manizer packaging is very cute especially since she’s a redhead. The …
Friday Find is when I dive into my stash or come up with a new product that I haven’t written about yet. Today, I decided to wear Diorskin Nude BB Creme SPF 10 in shade Fair that I hadn’t worn in a while. It was given to me about a year ago by my friend, …
A few months ago, I reviewed Rimmel ScandalEyes Gel Eyeliner (here) that I picked up when I was in the mood to try a gel eyeliner. It was relatively easy to apply, but my wing disappeared not long after I applied the liner. A number of readers suggested that I try L’Oreal Infallible Lacquer Liner …
I know you’ve heard it from me about a million times: cream blush is my favorite. For my dry skin, cream is the best. Also, I love that I can apply it with my fingers. I had been eyeing Youngblood Luminous Creme Blush. Luckily, I received it to try out. A couple of months ago, I reviewed …
I have a number of favorite mascaras, and I usually prefer a smallish wand with plastic teeth. So when I received PUR Fully Charged Mascara, I was dubious. PUR Fully Charged got its name because it uses magnetic technology to create dramatic lashes. The folks at PUR say that the mascara’s “magnetic polymer matrix veils the …
About a year ago, I saw a collection of makeup from Paul & Joe on several blogs. Each item featured jungle animals, I believe – one of the cutest collections ever. The brand has been on my mind since. Last week, I received an adorable white plastic compact in a silky drawstring bag featuring …
It’s almost Valentine’s Day, one of my favorite holidays, because I am and have always been a collector of hearts. Strangely, it is something I have not outgrown. I have heart-shaped everything. And I’m easy to buy gifts for: anything with a heart will do. So, it comes as no surprise that I would …
