Michael Todd Damascus Rose cream

Roses are red and this cream helps me from feeling blue!    The beauty goddess must be smiling upon me, because I recently received another amazing Michael Todd True Organics product for review. (If you worry about crow’s feet, dark circles and puffiness and haven’t checked out their incredible eye-o-sonic yet – go read our [...]

By: stef andrews on 05/16/13 @ 7:00 am

MAC Fashion Sets

A late but very pretty review of MAC 2013 Fashion Sets    Do you remember the 2012 MAC Fashion Sets launch? The release created matching sets based on their best-selling products. It’s notable in my mind because it gave me Russian Red lipglass and nail lacquer to pair with my lipstick. (Thanks MAC!) It did [...]

By: turboterp on 05/14/13 @ 4:00 am

L'Oreal Magic Decrease

With a wave of this wand, eye makeup magically stay put!    L’Oreal Paris has always been my go-to line for drugstore cosmetics. I love the way I can almost always find L’Oreal dupes of products featured in their parent company’s pricey department store brands (think Lancôme, Urban Decay, and YSL Beauté). Like many of [...]

Walgreen Night at the W

Plus, a look at Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Night moisturizer    Living in Los Angeles, I’ve attended my fair share of fab events. Gift bags, passed appetizers, glasses of bubbly; I’ll admit, it never gets old! Us LA folk are lucky that way. But what if I told you that there was a fab event [...]

Orange you glad it’s another MAC music mashup?!    MAC has had a number of limited edition collaborations with musical artists – Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, Ricky Martin, Cyndi Lauper, Beth Ditto, just to name a few. But few artists are so strongly personified by color as Hayley Williams. Hayley, the lead singer of platinum-selling alternative [...]

Need a fab blush? NARS has the cure with Boys Don’t Cry.    “This collection is killer – you are going to love it. Quote me.” This is a handwritten note on the inside of my NARS Pierre Hardy press samples that arrive. And you know what? She couldn’t have been more right. And now [...]
