Review: LipSense by SeneGence Long Lasting Liquid Lip Color

How many times have you purchased a lippie that promised to be long wearing, only to wind up so disappointed that it quickly found it's way to the bottom of your makeup stash or nearest trash can?  It's happened to me more times than I care to remember.  True long wearing lip colors are out ...

An Anesthesiologist's Solution To Bikini Waxing Pain

An Anesthesiologist's Solution To Bikini Waxing Pain

Who dreads a bikini wax?  Maybe I should ask who doesn't dread a bikini wax!  I'm a true believer that if it's done correctly by a seasoned pro, the pain is definitely minimized and it's not as bad of an experience as it's feared to be.  But it still hurts!  I've had my share of ...

What's that gray nail polish on Lady Gaga's nails on the September cover of Vanity Fair? Just in case you were wondering, it's none other than the very hot Waking Up In Vegas from celebrity manicurist Deborah Lippmann!  The popular gray shade is from Lippmann's spring 2010 collection (you'll find my review & swatches for Waking ...

Review: Smashbox Lip Enhancing Gloss

July 20, 2010

I’m convinced that mascara and lip gloss can fix just about anything.  They’re like magic tricks for a dull face, and they just make me HAPPY!  But today I’m focusing on the lip gloss aspect of that combo, with Smashbox Lip Enhancing Gloss.  And talk about brightening up the dull! With 23 shades grouped into [...]

I’ve Gotta Have It: Make Up For Ever Aqua Cream

July 17, 2010

I’ve been reading about Make Up For Ever Aqua Cream all over the place, and Karla Sugar has excellent swatches of them all.  I’m a little older these days, and perhaps I can’t rock the brights I used to (at least not to the intensity I’d like).  But these lure me in like a moth [...]

Currently Loving: Purple Lab LUVAH Lip Color

July 8, 2010

Way back when, I tried out Purple Lab’s first take on double duty beauty.  I knew the creator (the very, very lovely Karen Robinovitz) was really on to something with Huge Lips Skinny Hips–in fact, she kinda got me hooked on Purple Lab with just that one product.  Here we are a year later, and [...]

Currently Loving: LORAC Hollywood Hot List Collection

June 30, 2010

Okay, so I’m kinda bummed right now.  My intentions weren’t to make you drool over this and then say SURPRISE!  It’s sold out!  But right now, I can’t find it on ULTA or on Sephora’s site.  So hopefully there are some of these LORAC Hollywood Hot List value kits in a store near you, because [...]

Currently Loving: e.l.f. Luscious Liquid Lipstick

June 7, 2010

I have to give credit where it’s due to the lovely Recessionista from Nouveau Cheap.  As I was cruising the beauty aisles at Target last week looking for the perfect purple and gold nail polish colors to use for an LA Lakers-inspired manicure and having a phone conversation with Miss R, she told me to [...]

Review: Softlips PURE 100% Natural Collection

June 4, 2010

I already LOVE Softlips lip balms, but it’s difficult to keep them for myself because my husband loves them just as much.  I’m pretty confident that the new Softlips PURE 100% Natural lippies will remain mine though, especially since they contain slight tints.  YAY for mine! Here’s the breakdown of new products: Softlips PURE 100% [...]

Review: bareMinerals Buzzworthy Collection

May 28, 2010

This review could also pass as a “Currently Loving” post because I think the new bareMinerals Buzzworthy Collection is that awesome!  Five products (six if you count the lipgloss/lipstick duo separately) for $36 is just ridiculous, and considering what the products are for that price–it becomes stupid ridiculous at that point. Buzzworthy contains: • Well [...]
