Currently Loving: Shampowder Hair Powder

February 17, 2009

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 [...]

February 6, 2009

What if I told you that Crest has a new whitening strip that’s so thin you can even kiss with it on? At-home teeth whitening products have come a LOOOONG way! In the past, we’ve been stuck with strips and trays that don’t fit and we can’t even move our mouths let alone kiss. Crest Whitestrips Advanced Seal is promising [...]
