LUSH Cosmetics’ #GayIsOk Soap Is Sparkly & Fabulous – For a Cause

If you know anything about me, you know that any cosmetic or accessory that is glittery, sparkly, and dipped in gold is right up my alley. So when that product also comes with a way to help out a huge international rights issue, count me in. One of my favorite bath and body brands, LUSH […]

A Beauty Review: FAST Shampoo & Conditioner

A Beauty Review: FAST Shampoo & Conditioner

I never really cared much about my hair until I cut it off. In middle school, I’d throw a few braids or pig tails in and call it a day. When I started high school, I cut bangs. Until my senior year of high school, that was as drastic as I’d gotten with hair changes. […]

A Beauty Review: Benefit’s They’re Real Push-Up Liner

A Beauty Review: Benefit’s They’re Real Push-Up Liner

When Benefit announced their new They’re Real Push-Up Liner and said there was an opportunity to buy it before it hit stores, I couldn’t resist. I love makeup, I love makeup that’s supposed to make my life easier, and I loved the idea that it was exclusive. I was totally a victim of their marketing […]

A Beauty Review: Benefit’s Stay Flawless

We’ve tried plenty of foundation primers – some good, some not so good – but we’ve never tried a foundation primer that comes in stick-form.  Stay Flawless, an adorable little primer stick, is the newest beauty innovation from Benefit.  We came, we tried, we loved – read on to find out why!

A Beauty Review: It Cosmetics Anti-Aging Full Coverage SPF 50 CC+ Cream

It Cosmetics Anti-Aging Full Coverage Physical SPF 50 CC Cream, ($35) I’ll be completely honest, the qualifier “full coverage” terrifies me. I mean, who wants to look like you’re wearing a mask of makeup? Full coverage and lightweight aren’t terms that you’ll usually find together when you’re talking about foundations — and none of my […]

A Beauty Review: NARS Larger Than Life Lip Gloss

NARS Larger Than Life Lip Gloss in Spring Break (pictured in the middle) ($26) Spring Break is a sheer nude pink. As a lover of all things makeup, NARS has been a brand that I’m absolutely gaga over, but is pretty out of budget for me to buy on a regular basis.  When I got the opportunity […]

A Beauty Review: Fusion Beauty Prime Results Primer

Fusion Beauty Prime Results Brightening Primer ($42) Helps to even skin and prepare for makeup. When I first started using this primer, I fell in love.  It left my skin with a smooth, velvety feeling.  It kept my makeup feeling fresh all day, and that was exactly what I was looking for in a primer. But that […]

A Beauty Review: mark. Min-a-Real Cream to Powder Foundation

mark. Min-a-Real Cream to Powder Foundation in Buff ($18) A mineral foundation that goes on as a cream and dries to a powder. After hearing rave reviews about this foundation, I knew I had to try it.  A number of people told me that this foundation is perfect because it gives great coverage without being cakey.  I […]

A Beauty Review: Lancôme Color Design Sensational Effects Eye Shadow

A Beauty Review: Lancôme Color Design Sensational Effects Eye Shadow

Lancôme Color Design Sensational Effects Eye Shadow in “It” List ($19) A deep, matte black shadow. Warning: this shadow is black.  Perhaps the deepest, darkest, truest black shadow I own.  Which is why I absolutely love it. I use this shadow mainly to set my black gel eyeliner.  I always like to set my eyeliner with a similar shade […]

A Beauty Review: FIX Malibu’s Wish Wash

I don’t know about you, but when I think of facial cleansers, I think of a clear liquid or gel-like substance. When I heard about FIX Malibu’s Wish Wash Exfoliating Powder Wash — yes, a powder cleanser — I was immediately intrigued.  As a beauty fan, when I hear about a new or different kind of product, I […]
