There’s nothing better to a “no makeup look” than having perfectly flushed cheeks…with a little help of course from Benefit Cosmetics new blush Thrrob.
The silky sheer pale pink give fair and medium skin tones a hint of color with a slight shimmer (very subtle). I found Thrrob to be a great day blush, especially when […]

As you can tell, I’m pretty obsessed with mascara. I haven’t yet had the courage to leap to extensions (the thought of someone attaching things to each lash sounds painful), so I continue to try to find a mascara that will come close to mimicing those come hither eyes.
CoverGirl’s newest addition is their Lash Blast. […]

While looking through Sephora’s must-have mascara’s section, it was interesting to note the differences among the mascara’s brushes. It made me start to wonder which type of mascara brush really is the best at delivering a clump free–mess free mascara application.
I realize that it is so difficult to find a good mascara because we constantly […]

“Whenever I rim my top inner eye (using a black pencil), I end up with a thick black line under my eyes by the end of the night. Sometimes I can pass it off as smokey, other times, it just looks like I put my makeup up with the lights out. Any tips […]

Oops! The Body’s Shop’s Shimmer Smudgers have been sitting in a bin in my office since August! I gave them a test run when I first received them before their launch and then stored them and forgot all about them.
Unfortunately, I most likely forgot about these eye powders because I was not all that impressed. […]

When I walked into my local CVS last night I found they had added Milani Cosmetics to their range of brands offered. What caught my eye is their Runway Eyes eye shadows. I searched the internet high and low to find a picture for you, but to no avail.
The colors were amazing, although the shadows […]

Gilded, from Benefit Cosmetics is a tequila gold highlighting pencil. As my friend Jason says, “Metallics are the new neutral.”
Benefit says, “It’s like 24 carat gold in a stick!”
I have to say, I love this little golden pencil. It’s nice and soft, so it glides across your skin as you apply it. I’ve used it […]

“Hi, I was wondering whether anyone had suggestions for how to line around the entire eye, even the inner corners…to achieve a look like Amrita Rao’s (pictured). I’ve seen this done on many Indian and Arabic models/actresses, but I can’t quite figure out how to do it–nor how to keep in smudge-proof! Any ideas?” Sheena, […]

A portrait in the nude, daring in its stripped-down sensuality with natural shades in Mineralized Skinfinishes that play up the nakedness of cheeks, lips, eyes…for a glamazon who knows the power of artifice, but has the confidence and allure to strip it all away. N Collection is naked, with coverage – it’ll be our little […]
