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.

Mascara Roundup: 8 Formula Reviews
At any given moment, there are at least ten different tubes of mascaras bouncing around my makeup drawer. There always have been, and I estimate that there always will be. My mascara collection most likely started on my quest to find the perfect formula — and remains to this date because, as we have all probably discovered, […]
A Beauty Review: mark. Please Hold Eye Primer
mark. Please Hold Eye Primer ($9) Thankfully, I don’t often have problems with my eyeshadow creasing, so trying eye primers was never the first thing on my list.

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the editors of The Collabor-eight are spicing up our manicures by painting our pinkies pink!

Manicure Monday: Neon Brights
Happy Manicure Monday, beauty lovers! I wanted today’s manicure to be fun and different. Something that looks difficult, but really isn’t. You can’t get a complicated-looking manicure using only one color (I don’t think!), so the key to this mani is using a lot of bright colors that stand out against each other. Love this […]
Manicure Monday: Inspired by Color
As much as I love looking for inspiration on Pinterest, I know that I’m limited in terms of nail art by what I can actually do and what tools I have at home. It’s more important for me to have a simple-yet-neat design than an intricate-but-possibly-sloppy design. Sometimes when I’m trying to figure out what […]
