A Beauty Review: Lancome Teint Miracle Instant Retouch Pen
LANCÔME Teint Miracle Instant Retouch Pen ($29.50) Oil-free liquid concealer in a pump pen. I’m not ever really a fan of these pump pens, whether it’s for a concealer or a lip gloss or anything. I don’t like waiting for the product to ooze out of the brush, and I don’t like that I can’t really clean […]
Manicure Monday: Halloweenified
With Halloween coming up, I wanted to make sure this week’s Manicure Monday was spooky! Whether you dress up in full costume for Halloween or not, nail art is a great way to celebrate the holiday. It’s a simple statement that can make a big impact. And with Halloween, there are so many different designs […]
Zombie Repellent Soap: Rocky Mountain Soap Company
I always imagined that zombies would hate cleanliness. I’m a fan of zombie movies, and those guys never seem to take baths. So when I came across this Zombie Repellent Soap, I was surprised to learn that it smells like fennel and star anise: the true scents that zombies hate. If you’re in the mood […]

Manicure Monday: Feathery Accent
It’s Manicure Monday once again! I’ve been pulling a lot of inspiration from Pinterest for my manicures lately, whether it’s for the colors, the theme, or the actual design. Ideas have to come from somewhere, and Pinterest is a great place to go for inspiration of any kind! I’ve noticed a lot of manicures that […]
Hot Tools the Coolway
My hair is about as predictable as Honey Boo Boo on a live talk show interview: I know it’s going to do something crazy, I just never know what. I don’t even know what texture my hair is naturally, because it always looks different when I wake up. One morning, it’s Taylor Swift’s mane of ringlets and […]

A Beauty Review: Lancome L’Absolu Nu
LANCÔME L’Absolu Nu in Red Chiffon ($29) A bright, shimmery red lipstick. LANCÔME L’Absolu Nu in Beige Tulle ($29) A sheer taupe-y beige. As a college student on a budget, I am a firm believer that many drugstore brands can be just as good as high-end brands. I have to say, though, that money is well spent on LANCÔME L’Absolu […]
Manicure Monday: Paint Your Pinkies Pink!
In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the editors of The Collabor-eight are spicing up our manicures by painting our pinkies pink! This idea was inspired by British nail polish brand Nails Inc.’s campaign for October. We’ve all found that this fun nail art sparks a conversation: what a great way to spread the word […]
