Last week, I went on a Sephora binge. I shouldn't have done it. I really shouldn't have. (I mean, let's be real. Should I ever, really? Like I don't have enough beauty products... right.) But I'd had a particularly rough month, and an even rougher week prior, and figured I could use a few gorgeous things … [Read more...]

March 12, 2012 By Leave a Comment
I have warm weather on the brain! All of my obsessions for the day have a little to do with the spring and summer seasons that are nearly upon us.

Happy Monday, readers! We have so much to talk about. Can we please, please, please start with the red carpet? The Golden Globes.

October 14, 2011 By Leave a Comment
My lips have been beyond chapped these last few weeks and it's been awful! For the first time they've gotten crackly and red in the middle portion of my top lip (as opposed to just on the sides of my mouth), and with a shoot coming-up that entails getting my picture taken, I know I need my lips to look … [Read more...]
Buy Cheap Cosmetics: Avoid Spending a Fortune
November 22, 2010 By Leave a Comment
As a frugal person, the market of cosmetics has always left me baffled. How are there no quality products available at decent prices?

July 29, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Lip liner was one of the first beauty tools I bought: I thought they would help plump up and redefine my lips. I learned quickly that there was a bit more science to the application (and to the achievement of lip plumping!) than just outlining the fading edges around your lips. I think we all need … [Read more...]

This week, I tried two new products and am very happy to say that they are both exceeding my expectations! The first is the Nivea Kiss of Moisture lip balm: $2.54. I love it because it moisturizes well and lasts, I don't have to reapply over and over again. It's also a little short and chubby … [Read more...]
