Greasing Up Baby

Kids are weird.
They are odd, little people that live in your home. One day they’re these larval, immobile creatures with floppy heads and tiny mouths. Then, suddenly, they’re walking, talking little humans capable of saying “MAMA!” as they stare at your husband.
Strangely, they need much of the same things we do. Food. Shelter. Moisturizing.
In the […]

Smashing the Competition

 
Smashbox is the latest big name in the cosmetics industry to hop on the green (whatever that means) bandwagon with their new Green Room Collection. All of the packaging is biodegradable or recyclable and the makeup itself is made using environmentally friendly formulas. Exactly which environmentally friendly ingredients do they contain? Well I was unable to find […]

Space.NK: Apothecary

 
I have been hearing so much buzz that last couple of weeks about this store, I finally decided to check out their website. They just opened their flagship store in Manhattan last year but they have been all over the United Kingdom since 1993. Just based on their online offerings I can’t wait until more brick and […]

Juicy Lips

When I was home for Christmas I picked up Juice Beauty’s SPF 15 Tinted Lip Moisturizers at my favorite Sephora on Third Street Promenade. It’s a three piece set which ensures that there will be one in there that’s the perfect shade for you. I obviously consider myself a lip balm aficionado. I wonder if there’s […]

What Happens in Kiehl’s, Stays in Kiehl’s

I’m back with another lip balm rave. What again? Yes, again. If there is anything you need to know about me is that I am all about the lip balm and hand lotion. Seriously, it borders on the obsessive compulsive. I literally go nowhere without these two items. The feeling of dry lips or hands […]

Tis the Season for Merriment and Buffoonery

While I would never characterize myself as a girly girl, per say, I do enjoy getting prettified occasionally. The Holiday season gives me the perfect opportunity to be unabashedly feminine. Office parties just call for fancier attire and more makeup than I would usually wear. Somewhere between Vegas Showgirl and my typical bare-faced look. What […]

Calling Carol’s Daughter.

Gosh, how I have totally fallen for Carol’s Daughter this past year. Just look at what I have gushed about:
Almond Cookie scented products
Gift Sets
Browning Oil
Candy Paint Lip Gloss

I need to tell you a bit more about the lip gloss. I recently picked up two of these, one in Park Avenue Pink and one in […]

Mineral Makeup Month - Bare Escentuals.

Probably the most widely known mineral makeup brand is Bare Escentuals. And by looking over their sales figures, they are the mineral makeup brand that sells the most too.
Bare Escentuals was founded by Leslie Blodgett in 1976 and has created a mineral makeup line, 100% pure bareMinerals with no additives and zero irritants whatsoever. […]
