MAC All Ages, All Races, All Sexes Collection: Pigment Reviews, Photos, Swatches

MAC All Ages, All Races, All Sexes Collection: Eyeshadows Reviews, Photos, Swatches

None of the eyeshadows really spoke to me, which may be more a reflection of them being a little too neutral, too safe and me having more than enough neutral favorites through their permanent...

Valentine's Day Makeup: It's the New Pink

Last night, I asked the late night Twitter crowd if I should do a colorful or natural look -- I was originally thinking about doing something soft and natural, but colorful was the voice of the majority, so I ran with it. I thought about it, and I decided I...

The Spring Season: Maybelline Caramel Kiss Lipstick

Maybelline Caramel Kiss Lipstick ($8.29) is a creamy browned nude -- it's kind of like a taste of caramel; a little warm, a smidgen golden, but very natural, soft, and wearable. I'm not usually big on brown-based shades, but this is a shade I can...

The Spring Season: NARS Orgasm Lip Gloss

NARS Orgasm Lip Gloss ($24.00) is a sheer peachy-pink with gold shimmer. I really like this lipgloss worn over nudes and light pinks for added glossiness and shimmer, because it doesn't effect color very much (if at all!) - just adds a little more pop. One...
