China Glaze's Rodeo Diva Collection really caught my eye. I haven't gone on a nail polish spending spree in sometime, but I just couldn't get these out of my head. There were so many colors that called to me. In reality, I didn't fall in love with as many as I wanted to, but I did find several that...
Urban Decay's Holiday 2008 assortment offers this delectable eyeshadow palette called the Book of Shadows ($45.00). Personally, I think it's really the star product of what's available (or coming soon) for their holiday offerings, despite there being a bejeweled "Poison Ring" ($50.00). It offers an...
What first got you into makeup? Glossy magazine spreads? A commercial? Your mom's red lipstick?
Thanks to Neena for the question!

The only one with a...
What are your tips and tricks to hide problem areas or "flaws"? Like fine lines, pimples? Giving the face more shape? Slimming down a nose?
Thanks to Tanya for the question!
Lately, I have been sporting the foundation + lips look. The above photo was taken a few days ago, but I've been doing a lot of the same: foundation, light blush, lipstick, and gloss. This particular combination was YSL's Fetish Pink Rouge Volupte Lipstick ($34.00) topped with MAC Crystal Rose...
I finally received my nail polish haul from, oh, THREE WEEKS ago! (Sigh!!) I did quickie swatches (let's face it, if I waited until I had time to do clean, professional, pretty ones... you'd never see them) of everything I got, so expect to see an influx of nail polish posts this coming week :) The...
