Current Crushes: MAC Pressed Pigment in Damson, Avon Mega Effects Mascara and NYX Butter Gloss
Here are the top three products that I’m crushing on this week… 1. I had a few MAC Pressed Pigments pass by my desk in all of their glitter-tastic glory. And I’ll admit, while I love their pigments, I’m usually just too lazy to deal with them (mess, fallout, fallout mess.) Pressed Pigments…
MAC Sheen Supreme Lipstick and Lipglass Tint – swatches and review
Sheen reigns Supreme Fellow lip product lovers, rejoice! MAC So Supreme brings a sweet and lovely close to the summer season with its Sheen Supreme lipsticks and lipgloss tints. The launch touts that it’s “sheerer than ever.” But don’t mistake sheer with a lack of pigment, because the shades we checked out pack…
L’Oreal Triple Resist Advanced Haircare collection – review and free samples!
Snob (noun) 1. a person who imitates, cultivates, or slavishly admires social superiors. Hair Care Snob (noun) 1. See Stef Andrews. I’m not proud of it, but it’s true: I am a hair care snob. Although I often try to open up to drugstore products, so many have failed me that I’ve just…

Benefit The Rich is Back palette – swatches & review
Act fast, this limited edition disco beauty was just marked down from $34 to $24! On a recent trip quick to the east coast I gave myself a challenge – pack only a carry-on bag. Now, this might not seem like much a challenge to many of you. But for me, who frequently tips…
Nail Polish Porn: Sheswai Badass
Aptly named, bow down for Badass Date: August 4, 2013 Polish: Sheswai Lacquer Badass ($16), a rich chocolate wine hybrid with bronze shimmer. Badass…it’s exactly that! Described by Shewsai as an espresso chocolate, I also see a deep, dark wine in it too (even more than chocolate.) So, imagine a Cabernet Sauvignon mixed with…
Aveda Art of Nature Summer 2013 collection – swatches and review
Pantone’s 2012 color of the year collides with the 2013 color of the year! I will always have a place in my heart for Aveda, for they were my first introduction into high end hair care. The year was 1994 (!) and Tyna and I had just moved across country to Los Angeles and…
