Makeup Removing Wipes: Soap & Glory Style

Soap & Glory Off Your Face Cleansing Cloths ($6.99 for 25 or $0.28/cloth) are slowly becoming one of my favorite makeup removing wipes! Each sheet is well-saturated but not overly so, and the cloth itself is soft and thick enough not to fray or pull when...

Urban Decay Eyeshadow:  Two Minutes with Gunmetal

Urban Decay Gunmetal Eyeshadow ($17.00 for 0.05 oz.) is a dark gray base with a deep silver sheen. It's very much the color of gunmetal.  I like that it's not overly frosty or shimmery--it's definitely more of a frost finish than anything else, but...

The Summer Season: MAC Crosswires Lipstick

MAC Crosswires Lipstick ($14.00 for 0.10 oz.) is a lovely shade of coral-pink--it's not super bright like Vegas Volt, but it's not so muted that it ends up looking washed out.  It's easily one of my favorite corals amongst MAC's permanent line, too.  The...

Korres #44 Orange Blush ($24.00 for 0.21 oz.) is a beautiful shade of rich coral-orange with a soft golden shimmer-sheen.  This is one wickedly pigmented blush, and it's perfect for a pop of color on the cheeks during the summer.  It's truly a stunning shade -- I see this working better on warmer...
