Blushes | 2013 Editor's Favorites

I could have given you a much longer list, so when there was just a really amazing formula, I limited myself to picking just one shade, but I've included a link to...

Rant & Rave: Glitter Eyeliner

Share: Tell us what you love and hate about Glitter Eyeliner!

Highlighters & Finishing Powders | 2013 Editor's Favorites

I love a good finishing powder.  I love an ethereal, lit-from-within glow.  There is a very high likelihood of me trying any new formulas or shades that hit the market--I'm just a total fiend for them. I can't wait to see what 2014 brings in this department!

Nail Lacquers | 2013 Editor's Favorites

I have to admit: this was a complete challenge. In fact, it felt unfair trying to narrow down favorites to a mere ten when I was considering around 300 different shades from the past year. As what tends to happen when I start to feel indecisive, I went for favorites across brands and weighted...

Makeup Palettes | 2013 Editor's Favorites

Choosing my top ten favorite palettes from the ones I tested and reviewed in 2013 was a lot more difficult than I anticipated! To give you an idea on how stiff the competition was, there were 128 reviews filed under "makeup palettes," so you can see there were plenty to choose from! (And if you...

Happy Sunday!

How has your last weekend of 2013 been treating you? We just got back from brunch, where my husband had chocolate chip pancakes, and I had crab cakes benedict. I think I get that just because I love crab cakes so much :) I plan to write a few posts for tomorrow and watch some Sunday...

Good thing I've already gotten a great start on that with some of the upcoming products for spring! :) (So stay tuned!) Here is a...
