Tarte's Purse Your Lips Lipgloss Clutch ($39.00) features nine stunning shades of lip glosses. Each brand new, limited edition shade features Tarte's "t5 super fruit complex" (which kind of makes me giggle--let's be honest). The clutch that holds the lipglasses is large enough that it should fit...
How many brushes do you need to do an eye look? What brushes?
Dior's Amber Diamond Skin Shimmer ($42.00) is my all-time favorite highlighter. It is such a phenomenally flattering combination of soft gold shimmer with bronze undertones. I think this product works well on all skin tones, but it will flatter warmer skin tones moreso than cool ones--like, let's...
Clinique's Blackberry Bloom collection for the holidays has a few stunning products definitely worth a trip over to your local Clinique counter! Particularly lovely is the Fresh Bloom Allover Colour in Blackberry Bloom ($29.50) (pictured above), which is a pleasant shade of muted raspberry-mauve. ...

All surveys...
OOKISA is a new hair care brand out there, and you may have seen some ads for their products, but the reviews are in short supply. I tried this at least two months ago, but I wanted to hold off on making a review until was actually available to purchase. What good is a product recommendation if...

LUSH Rub Rub Rub & Yummy Yummy Yummy ($8.95 to $23.95) are two shower gels that recently came out. Rub Rub Rub's scent can be compared to Lush's Sakura bath bomb (which is a fresh, spring-blossom-day kind of scent). RRR is not just a shower gel, but more of shower gel meets shower scrub. It's not a...

Jaqua Pink Buttercream Frosting Hand Soap ($14.00) is such a deliciously girly product in my bathroom arsenal! It smells exactly as it is named, like buttercream frosting. The scent even lingers a bit after you've dried off your hands. As the holidays roll around, I'm all about rich and delicious...
On Saturday, we went out to celebrate my Mom's birthday at a French restaurant, so I dolled myself up with a different take on the traditiona smoky eye. Still staying with grays and blacks, but I went for a light lid. I haven't decided if I liked it or not, LOL. Happy Veteran's Day!

By Terry Bronze-Expert ($48.00) is a creamy, gel-based bronzer that clicks up and onto a brush. It comes in three shades Sun Beach (light), Sun Desert (medium), and Sun Tropic (dark). All three are on the sheerer side, so if you're not sure about your color, don't worry so much. Even the darkest...
What do you currently use to exfoliate? How is it working for you? Do you recommend it or should we stay away?
Origins' Modern Friction ($37.00) is a super citrus-scented exfoliant that uses rice starch to help slough off dead skin cells. You might remember I posted about this product a few months ago, as I bought it for my younger sister after she fell in love with the difference it made on her hand (she...

Zen Aluminum Trays ($14.99 to $19.99) I like these for their simplicity. I can see these looking really classy in a bathroom, and what I also like is if you need to hide or move them around to clean the bathroom, it's easy! You don't have to grab twenty bottles, you can just move the tray.

Clinique is offering one of the best gifts with purchase (GWP) I've ever seen! Normally, I'm not one to indulge just to get a GWP, but I this one is worth it just for the zebra-printed bag. And guess what? You get it with any $25 Clinique purchase--that's not bad at all! The "value" of the GWP is...

Benefit Powderflage ($28.00) is a great product for setting your concealer, to further help diffuse the appearance of dark circles and minimize concealer settling into fine lines. I found it didn't work nearly as well without a cream/liquid concealer underneath first -- I don't normally wear...
Copper Diamond Shimmer Brick ($38.00) According to Bobbi Brown, there are five shades found within this shimmer brick: Candlelight, Gold, Copper, Beige, and Sand. I like the subtle glow it gave me; it's very subtle, not too much color--more of a shimmer, highlighting effect. Some shimmer bricks...
