Eye Maker Remover
Hi Beauty Snob, I followed your advice and bought Benefit’s Bad Gal Lash mascara. It’s fantastic! It rarely smudges. However, it seems to be a bit too good at staying on my lashes – I never seem to get it fully off in the evening. I wash my face with Cetaphil and have tried using [...]
I’m a Beauty Addict!
Post by Michelle When my package from Beauty Addicts arrived the other day I was enchanted from the moment I opened the box. All of the compacts had come in awesome, shimmery, little sheer bags with tassels. What can I say? I’m a sucker for good packaging! Fortunately, the insides of those bags totally lived [...]
Underwear for Lashes
Everyone has their favorite mascara and of course, I do too, but the one thing that I have found to be more helpful at building lashes isn’t the mascara itself, it is what’s underneath. Appropriately named the Underwear for Lashes, this lash base is applied first to build a foundation to give the mascara more [...]
Big Mouth Lip Primer
Post by Michelle I’m not a huge lipstick person. Most of the time I stick to glosses or something a little more low maintenance. But there are some times when a gloss won’t do and I want the kind of color that only a lipstick can provide. When those times arrive I always use Philosophy’s [...]
The softest skin you’ll ever have
Today I’m going to let you guys in on a little secret. I very rarely buy my own exfoliator. Sometimes I’ll get attracted by shiny packaging or the rave reviews of friends, but when it comes down to it, the exfoliator that I whip up in my own kitchen is the one I keep coming [...]
Pretty Palettes from Chantecaille
Garden in Kyoto Trio set: $79 Eyeshadow $39 This is how vain I am, not only do I want my make up to make me look pretty, I want my make up to look pretty too! The prettiest packaging out there is from Chantecaille, brilliantly hued eyeshadows and glowing blushes are delicately pressed with butterflies [...]
Knotty Girl
Post by Michelle My hair is stick straight. I rarely get knots in it. (Don’t tell anyone, but when I’m in a rush, I sometimes leave the house without remembering to brush it. You wouldn’t even be able to tell the difference!) But on the rare occasions that I get a knot, it’s a doozy. [...]
Strawberry Lip Balm and Moisturizer
Post by Michelle So, once I started writing for this site a whole world of beauty products I never knew existed opened up to me. Seriously, Tina and Kelly have introduced me to so many potions and lotions and creams that i’m in love with and many of them are taking the place of my [...]
Santa Maria Novella Holiday in the Sun
My sister brought back a jar of Santa Maria’s body cream for me when she went to Italy and it was the first I’ve ever heard of this line. I used it and loved it, the smell, the consistency and the purity of the ingredients – the whole thing! I wanted more but couldn’t really [...]
Serge Lutens Fragrances
I have a really hard time finding a fragrance that doesn’t annoy me after half a day of wear. I like light fragrances and I don’t want to smell like everyone else. How weird is it to run into someone else wearing the same perfume? It’s like altered reality for me because smells have such [...]
