Fancy by Jessica Simpson ($59.00) is a sweet, dessert-ish scent. This is Simpson's first fragrance, though she did have a beauty line called "Dessert Beauty," which featured sweet, food-related scents. Fancy is not as cloying or as over-the-top, but there is still a distinct sweetness from the...
Fashion Week kicks off this Friday, September 5th, 2008 -- how excited are you? In February, Temptalia was there for a couple of days in person, but this year, we'll be remote bloggin' it. There's been an increase in access to the shows for those not in attendance, and it looks like MAC wants to...
What hair products do you use regularly? Hairstyling products? Shampoos?
P.S. - What's everybody doing for Labor Day Weekend? Hope you all have Monday off :)
GIVENCHY FOR HOLIDAY 2008
Nicolas Degenees envisions a night filled with sparking stars and brilliant fireworks, all reflected in a makeup palette that's both fanciful and wearable. Eyes got defined with navy, grey and black tones, offset by twinkly hints of shimmering pink, lilac and gold. Velvety...
While I couldn't quite appreciate the "genius" of MAC's Gold Fever Andrew & Andrew videos, I can appreciate their video concept for Cult of Cherry.
Today, WWD had an article about the video concept today, and here's an excerpt explaining it...
"We began with the idea of a woman who lives in a white...
Tell us why/what you love, hate, or are indifferent about... WATERPROOF MASCARA!
So the whole trying out different brands in a look did not work out so well. I am not sure if it was the base I chose to use (Soft Ochre paint pot), or the shadows themselves. Â All I know is that the resulting look looked messy, uneven, and all kinds of awful, LOL. Â I mean, if I can see obvious...
What is the perfect look to complement the "little black dress"? Is there just that one look that works so well with it?
Antonio Prieto, a hair care guru, shares these home remedies with us:
This was yesterday's look - wanted to try out So Scarlet lipstick and Cult of Cherry together, and I thought maybe I'd try out some darker lips later on, so I kept the eyes pretty simple. I tried to do a cat-eye, but it didn't quite work out. I haven't done one in a long time (albeit, I've probably...
Prescriptives' All Skins Mineral Makeup SPF15 ($32.50) is described as a weightless, long-wearing mineral makeup foundation. It is supposed to be filled with "good-for-you" ingredients. I've yet to fall head over heels in love with any mineral foundation; I feel like I get more on my bathroom...
Do you let others borrow or use your makeup? Only certain products? None? All?
Sonia Kashuk's Blending Sponge ($9.99) is a multitasker's dream come true. It's designed for application, blending, and smudging--so it can pretty much do it all in a pinch. I LOVE this for the face. I find it works really well to blend and apply liquid foundation all over the face, but it also...
We all know LUSH as an eco-friendly brand, but this really takes it to the next level! Today, at 12 PM sharp, they will be leading a protest that urges shoppers to go "naked" by purchasing products free of packaging. The main event is located in NYC (Outside LUSH Soho, Broadway, & Spring St.), but...
On her inspiration, Bobbi Brown says, "I love nude makeup - and it's especially sexy when it's saturated with glimmering, light-reflective flecks."
Shimmering Nudes Palette ($50.00) A perfect mix of seven cool and warm nude tones, the Shimmering Nudes Palette flatters all complexions and has...
If you, like me, always enjoy about discovering a new beauty line, then I have some news for you! Jouer Cosmetics has re-launched itself exclusively at Henri Bendels this August. It is an "innovative collection of custom luxury cosmetics." (No doubt about that, since it's a Henri Bendels exclusive,...
What look are you wearing today? What makeup are you sporting? Is it a no-makeup day? Full out face?
OMG, I was hit by a nasty, nasty bug on Sunday afternoon. I probably caught it on the plane, but who knows. All I know is that it sucks something awful, and I really wish it would go away. I feel miserable, incredibly groggy and sleepy all-freaking-day-long, and whiny! I think my boyfriend is on the...

I'm sure most of us have a problem of overpacking, right? I'm no exception! I took far more makeup to Hawaii than I needed to! In total, I took about 115 products/items with me that were beauty-related (this doesn't include sunscreen!).
And of all of that, I didn't use...
