Review: Urban Decay Complexion Primer Potions & Lip Primer Potion

August 13, 2009

It’s a given that Urban Decay’s Eyeshadow Primer Potion is the best eyeshadow primer, ever. I have a few others that perform well and that I like and use, but when we are talking about L-O-V-E, it has to be Urban Decay. It’s like there’s magic in that purple bottle or something else unexplainable. For [...]

What’s your HerCut cocktail?

August 12, 2009

My current cut needs Normal-Dry Shampoo, Medium Conditioner, and The Bob Catalyst. I’m not speaking some new language, I’m speaking in HerCut– a new haircare line that’s based around your cut and not your actual hair type! Designed to encourage your cut to work for you instead of you working for it, the line is [...]

Time out for something LUSH and adorable.

August 11, 2009

Time out for something I find absolutely adorable. Stumped? It’s the new Soap Wall from LUSH. Retailing at $19.95, it’s 9 of the top selling soaps from LUSH with their new palm-free soap base. It was so cute– I couldn’t resist sharing. I must have one of these, and I think it would make a [...]

Review: LOLA Marc Jacobs

August 11, 2009

Just the sight of the bottle alone made me crave Lola, the newest fragrance from Marc Jacobs. He just has a way with fragrance that sucks me into the vortex almost every time. Not a fan of warm fragrances, I admit I’ve broadened my horizons lately and told myself to get with the program. I [...]

Zoya Matte Velvet Collection, Fall 2009 review & swatches

August 10, 2009

As you know, I haven’t been too much on the matte nail polish band wagon. A few brands have gone hog wild with entire collections that didn’t exactly knock me out. I think Zoya was smart, and very selective about picking their 3 trend colors for the Matte Velvet collection! Matte is supposed to be [...]

Currently loving: CosMedix Purity Clean Exfoliating Cleanser & Pure Enzymes Exfoliating Mask

August 10, 2009

I’ve been a firm believer that my skin specifically loves AHA’s (alpha hydroxy acids) in my skincare products for about 5 years now. Once I started creeping closer to my 30′s, I noticed my skin was becoming more dull and didn’t feel as smooth as it once did. It seemed to become easily congested with [...]

The ugly truth about human trafficking, and what The Body Shop is doing to help

August 9, 2009

This is just horrible. Imagine being 11 years-old and living in an undeveloped country with a family that’s struggling to eat and lives in deplorable conditions. A man comes along and promises your family a better life and tells your parents he has a job for you in another country where you’ll make enough money [...]

Review: L’Oreal Extreme Volume Collagen Mascara (waterproof)

August 8, 2009

Hi again lovelies, it’s me– your resident mascara maven. I normally don’t review many waterproof mascaras. I rarely have problems with wearing regular formulas and I am that one girl who forgets to wear waterproof to weddings and sad movies, when maybe I should have. I get very concerned with how drying waterproof mascaras are [...]
