The Beauty Sample

««Press Sample»»  You know that beauty urban legend of sorts that has been circling the web about how the average woman consumes between 5-10 lbs. of lipstick in her lifetime? Though the facts are debatable (you’d have to not only purchase but completely use up hundreds upon hundreds of lipsticks in your lifetime in order [...]

Have I ever told you guys that I have a serious weakness for beauty products with names that pertain to food? Example: Lid Smoothie. Skin Food. Lip Butter. Soufflé Blush. This may or may not also be about 90% of the reason I am dying to try the new Josie Maran Coconut Watercolor Cheek Gelées. [...]

As I’m sure many of you are well aware, I am and always have been more attracted to a very sheer, subtle lip. Tinted balms and sheer, balmy lipsticks are my go-to’s when I want to look a bit more polished and put-together. It seems that sheer lip color is also becoming more and more [...]

Along with crayon-type eyeshadows that are becoming all the rage lately, you’ve probably noticed a new trend coming out of the woodwork as well: chubby lip pencils.

Because my night will be relatively [...]

Long-time readers of mine are, by now, well-versed in my profound love for tinted balm. Tinted balm is so awesome, I would marry it if I could! They’re the ultimate lip product–they do it all! And if you’ll recall from my previous post on Fresh’s Sugar Coral Tinted Lip Treatment, the Fresh line is one [...]

Hi guys!!  Just a quick post to show you guys some of the goodies I picked up at Sephora’s VIB sale this year. Most of them are just staples in my routine that I had to repurchase but I did manage to fit in a few “fun” items, too!

Sigh…let’s pretend for a second that I don’t suck at getting a move on new items/trends and talk about Revlon’s new(ish) Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains. Have any of you tried them?
