Do you read beauty/makeup books? Love 'em? Hate 'em?

When I have the time, I like reading them, but I more often just look at the photos!

Guerlain Forever Beige Lipstick
Guerlain Forever Beige (#558) KissKiss Lipstick ($30.00) is a bronzy brown nude with copper flecks. I don't think the name fits the shade, just because this isn't what I think of when I hear the word "beige." It's an...
Temptalia was invited by Purple Lab and its founder, Karen Robinovitz, to come to their launch on HSN on Thursday, February 18th. Purple Lab showed five times on HSN, and the first one was an 9am show-time, but the big show was on at 8pm. I was there for...

The latest releases tend to inspire me -- I kind of gravitate towards, "How can I use this?" for inspiration.
Thanks to Amal for this question!
Have you managed to get your hands on this year's coveted Lancome designer lipstick? First it was Proenza Pink, and this year, it's Chris & Tell. Chris & Tell was designed by Chris Benz and comes on the luxuriating L'Absolu Rouge formula. ...
Korres #22 Rose Guava Lipstick
Korres #22 Rose Guava Lipstick ($22.00 for 0.06 oz.) is a beautiful shade of medium pink with golden shimmer. It reminded me of a seriously muted version of Guerlain Giulette Lipstick. It could also double as MAC Nympette...
Maybelline Eye Studio Irresistibly Ivy Eyeshadow Quad ($8.49) is a mix of four eyeshadows that can be used together or alone. They're very soft, slightly powdery shades, so it's better to use a tapping technique, rather than...

I JUST got home from Tampa like... an hour ago (had to have lunch, take a shower - traveling always makes me feel EW!). I've been up since midnight PST!  I'll be working on getting photos and writing up the behind-the-scenes action and look at both HSN...
Maybelline Warm Me Up (#235) Lipstick ($7.49) is a beautiful shade of slightly milky-medium pink with a yellow undertone. It has just a smidgen of shimmer and a very creamy look. It's smooth, easy to apply, and wears well for a solid three to four...

The really vampy lip. Even though I really want to, I always feel ridiculous when I wear one!
Thanks to Sally for this question!
Note: This hits stores today :)
OVERALL, Riveting is an interesting collection, but I don't think it's necessarily a must-have kind of collection. It's definitely going to appeal to some, while others will skip it because it's not as...
What's the Worst Curling Iron...?
What brand/product wins this category? Any particular reason it wins?
MAC Fleshpot Lipstick ($14.00) is an ultra fleshy nude satin-finish shade. It's incredibly creamy and quite pigmented--but it's a tough nude to pull off, just because it's so pale, so fleshy. For some, Fleshpot just gives you "concealer lips" rather than...
YSL Opera Rose (#29) Rouge Volupte Lipstick ($34.00) is a creamy, medium pink with neutral undertones. It's hard to find a pink that it's blue-based, and then to find one that is more neutral or yellow in undertone is a real pleasure for me--just...
What does you usual daily look consist of? Share!

Color, LOL! I don't think anything else is that consistent. Oh, maybe tinted moisturizer! :)

Benefit I'm With the Band Lipgloss
Benefit I'm With the Band Lip Gloss ($19.00) is an ultra shimmery golden peach pink mauve. No, seriously. This is one of those glosses that's going to look just a little different from person to person,...
- How often do you wash your brushes?
- What do you use to wash your brushes?

Just a little sneak peek at things to come... :)Â (And yes, there is one missing -- Two Virtues.)
I was in a green mood, so I opted to go for yellow-based greens with a smoky edge!
