Vera Wang LOOK ($70 to $300) is the latest fragrance release from Vera Wang. If you know me, it's hard to captivate me with a scent long enough for me to wear it regularly. Sure, I enjoy many fragrances, but only a few get adopted into my perfume rotation. With that being said, I have worn...
on10 Disney Red Apple Lip Balm SPF 15 ($9.00) is a tin pot filled with lip balm. The lip balm contains SPF15, which is always a good thing (especially since I often forget about SPF on my lips!). I think the selling point of this product is the Snow White drawing on the tin. It's cute and very...
Chanel Blush Duo Tweed Effect in Tweed Corail ($45.00) just has indulgence and luxe written all over it--from the tweed patterned blush to the texture of the product. Tweed Corail is a soft peachy color with subtle gold shimmer. While it looks a little too peach-orange, it is sheerer when...
Too Faced Shadow Insurance ($17.00) is the latest in eyeshadow bases. The often coveted Urban Decay Primer Potion may find itself displaced by Too Faced's Shadow Insurance. Both products are very similar, but the most drastic difference is in the packaging. UDPP is notoriously famous for its...
When you're looking for lipsticks to create that perfect holiday lip, consider Estee Lauder's Hot Kiss & Maraschino ($22.00 each).
Hot Kiss is a subtle mauve-berry-brown color with subtle shimmer. It goes on more brown with hints of mauve in the color on the lips, but it is a very sophisticated lip...
Givenchy Prisme Again! Blush Quartet in Euphoric Orange ($40.00) looks intimidating at first, but it is really a great pop of coral for your cheeks. I truly thought, "No way!" when I first saw it, but lo and behold, it is a much subtler color when it's actually used. What I've noticed isn't that...
Calvin Klein Delicious Light Glistening Lip Gloss in Maven ($16.00) is a great night-on-the-town kind of color. It's a very pigmented gloss in a deep shade of burgundy-wine, so it gives lips a dramatic look without being too high maintenance. The gloss formula itself is non-sticky as far as I could...
Dior Rose Diamond Skin Shimmer ($42.00) is just as lovely and pretty as my eternal favorite Amber Diamond. Surprisingly enough, it has a good amount of pigmentation to give me not just shimmer, but a light rosy flush on my cheeks. I alternate between using the 188 or the 129 brush to apply the Skin...
Too Faced Pin Point Mascara ($19.50) is just not a mascara that works with my sparse, all-willy-nilly lashes.
Claim: An extreme defining, volumizing, and lengthening mascara.
Results: Slightly longer, thicker lashes--but that's about it. It's not a dramatic difference between my natural lashes and...
OVERALL, Monogram offers a nice selection of lipglosses and lipsticks, but you can probably skip the rest! This year's lipgloss formula is very similar to Dazzleglasses--both the chunkier shimmer (dazzle!) and the nonsticky formula really make them...
