The concept behind two-minute reviews is mostly products that I photographed, swatched, but I never ended up reviewing.  Rather than just bury the photos into the "Unlikely to Review" folder and...

Korres #18 Peach Mango Butter Lipstick ($18.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a semi-vibrant darkened rose with gold shimmer and a glossy sheen. I don't have any idea why it's named "Peach," because there isn't anything peach about it. In...

Urban Decay's Summer Pocket Rockets: Max & Colin

Urban Decay's Pocket Rocket Lip Glosses ($19.00 for 0.27 oz.) are non-sticky, thick enough to be moisturizing but thin enough not to feel heavy, and have a burnt caramel scent (well, creme brulee, officially). I've always found the Pocket Rockets to...

I admit, when I initially saw photos the new Gloss Fluo de Chanel ($27) from Chanel's Les Pop-Up de Chanel Collection, I was pretty excited. Bright fuchsia AND coral? That's so me. Of course I'd be drawn to them! But I am sad to report that they're...

Guerlain Giuliana (#42) Rouge G Lipstick ($45.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a brilliant shade of orange-coral. It's almost all orange, but it's not quite a full-blown orange. This was definitely a love-at-first-swatch...

Barielle High Steppin' Collection for Summer 2010

For summer, Barielle is releasing six shades of summery shades in late April/early May. There are quite a few metallic finish shades in this collection, which made me a bit wary, as I cannot seem to minimize brushstrokes enough to feel good about...
