REVIEW: Borghese Nail Lacquer

February 11, 2009

Nail polish is such an easy way to experiment with color so I have a lot of fun trying them on and being a guinea pig of sorts. I’ve often spied Borghese nail polishes when I’m meandering through the beauty section at my local CVS and I’ve been curious about them. I always think a [...]

Anastasia saves my brows… again.

February 9, 2009

Several years ago, I had an esthetician get a little too ambitious with my brows. It was a nightmare! I literally was missing the tail off of both brows and I’ve had to fill them in ever since, and things will never be the same. You probably already know that I’m a huge fan of [...]

REVIEW: Tarte Spring Greening Palette & A Perfect Whirled Cheek Stain

February 9, 2009

The term “Spring Greening” is probably causing much excitement to my fellow Beauty Junkies who are trapped under blankets of snow right now. Please don’t hate me for living in a part of the country that experiences (mostly) pleasant weather! I’m looking forward to Spring arriving just as much as you are, and I’m excited [...]

REVIEW: Avon Advance Techniques Dry Ends Serum

February 7, 2009

I’ve come across a new first here. I’ve never used any of Avon’s hair products before and now that’s changed! I’ve got a few products coming up over the next few weeks from Avon, and the Advance Techniques Dry Ends Serum is first up to bat. I have to really give credit where it’s due to the [...]
