One of the most important things to do when doing a look with distinct colors is to be careful not to over-blend, which is really easy, because most of us put our noses to the mirror when we're checking to make sure we did a good...
Do you prefer your eyeshadows in pots or palettes? Do you depot shadows to fit into palettes? Only buy from brands with palette options?
.
I prefer palettes myself. I just find I forget about anything that isn't in the palette -- if it's in the palette, I'll see it when I'm feeling like a blue...
Guerlain Giulette Rouge G Lipstick
Guerlain Giulette Rouge G Lipstick (#63) ($45.00) is pretty much my biggest reason for wishing summer was a little closer right now! I originally expected to include this as part of the Spring Season, but obviously, it doesn't...
Here's a fun look for all the green lovers out there!
Oh, you say Lucky Green is not permament? Well, let me fill you in on a little something MAC has slipped under the radar this season... On January 15th, MAC Freestanding stores will...

Origins Make a Difference Ultra-Rich Rejuvenating Cream ($36.00 for 1.7 oz.) has been my go-to night cream for the past month! It has just enough richness in texture (it is most definitely a cream--thick, viscous) to leave me feeling like I'm really treating my...
Your Mission: Tell us what you love, hate, or are otherwise indifferent to about anti-acne products and all that those entail.
Urban Decay Rush Lipstick ($22.00) is a beautiful shade of creamy, no-shimmered rosy pink. It has a glistening sheen that makes lips look a little fuller and more pout-y. It applies easily and goes opaque in about two layers. It's a very natural, soft...
I gotta tell you, the eyeshadows from All Ages, All Races, All Sexes are really not so flattering on me. I'm thinking it's probably the cool edge that they all have; it's just a little much on me when used together. I think Cross-Cultural and...
Do you sanitize your beauty products? Do you have a schedule? Never?
.
I sanitize lipsticks every 6 months or so, powder products every 6-9 months (generally when I do a major re-organization). I'm pretty clean about skincare and the like. I use recycleable disposable lipgloss wands for gloss so no...
Here are some products I've tried in the past few months with reviews done all quick-style ;)
Dolce & Gabbana Velvet Lipstick
Dolce & Gabbana Velvet Classic Cream Lipstick (#130) ($27.00) is a beautiful soft pinky-rose. It has a semi-sheer look that looks very natural on lips. Even though it's not opaque, it's one of those "You don't know...
What kind of lighting do you do your makeup in? Natural? Office? Special bulbs?
.
I actually have no idea. They're just whatever lights my apartment bathroom has! Probably some form of fluorescent.
As promised, I wanted to show you how to use MAC's new Cremeblend Blushes in a look. They can be worn on lips (yes, I'll do lip swatches -- probably today or tomorrow!) or cheeks, and the intensity is very buildable; you don't need much to get a little...
Chanel Pin-up Glossimer ($27.00) sheer, light peach champagne with just a smidgen of pink in it with pale gold and champagne micro-shimmer. Glossimers are thin in texture, smooth in shimmer, and non-sticky in feel. On my lips, the golden tones of this...
If you never bought any more make up again, how long would it take you to use up what you have? What would you run out of first? What would you never have to repurchase?
.
Forever. I'd probably run out of skincare/foundation kind of stuff first, but I'd never run out of eyeshadow or lipstick.
Thanks...
So, opposite of the last look, here's a very soft look one could wear. I call it Valentine's Day makeup, but you could really wear it any time. I think it's quite appropriate for a variety of occasions! I wore this to school on Wednesday, which...
What beauty product would you invent if you could? What miracle product? (Besides the fountain of youth!)
.
An ultra pigmented lipgloss that truly lasted at least 12 hours or an acne solution that worked for everyone, but the latter sounds more impossible.
Much to the dismay of neat-freaks everywhere, pigments once again exploded in my household. I conducted this messy project in my kitchen (easier to clean) with a very small (pocket-sized!) digital scale that can weigh up to 500 grams. I go through the entire...
OVERALL, Lillyland is definitely a very bright and colorful collection. It's something that will catch your eye when you see it on displayer, even if you're not necessarily into colors. Between the ultra pigmented Cremeblend Blushes and the ultra...
OVERALL, the All Ages, All Races, All Sexes Collection is really going to be a hit or miss collection for many. I don't think it has the mass appeal of some of MAC's previous more neutral collections, like Blonde, Brunette, and...
Last but not least... the lip gelees aka the best part of the collection, IMO! Okay, let me condition that: if you like shimmer/glitter, check out the lip...
The two prettiest-looking items in the collection are my two least favorites of the collection. Both the Pearlmatte Eyeshadow and Face Powder are lovely to look at...
