Nordstrom's is probably my favorite! I love shopping Sephora online, but Sephora in-store is overwhelming. I don't have a Saks/Bloomingdales close enough to enjoy!
Rimmel Alarm Lasting Finish Lipstick ($5.19) is a bright cherry red with a frosty sheen. It feels fairly creamy, goes on opaque in just a layer, and it is (obviously) quite pigmented. Rimmel describes this lipstick as giving the wearer...

OVERALL, I like, but I don't *love* Les Impressions de Chanel. There are some great products, but there are also some good-but-not-worth-the-price-tag products as well. I think Chanel did a good job mixing a more neutral, softer color...
Chanel Imprevu Joues Contraste ($42.00 for 0.13 oz.) is a coppery-toned blush from Les Impressions de Chanel. The spring launch is slowly heading on-counter and online, and I imagine most counters will have it in the next two weeks. I totally recommend buying...

I like a creamy, opaque color with just a touch of shimmer and a soft sheen.
This is a quick & dirty look--seriously, like ten minutes or less--using Chanel's spring collection. I love the lips more than the eyes, but what else is new? I think next time I use this quad, I'm going to try a shimmery gold base. Hmm.
Happy Monday!! (Yes, I'm sick and twisted... Mondays are...

Dolce & Gabbana Rose the One Shimmer Powder ($50.00 for 0.91 oz.) is a scented, subtle loose highlighter. It is scented with the same-named scent, Rose the One, also by Dolce & Gabbana (no surprise, I'm sure, ha!).
I know that some cosmetics are fragranced, but I can't...

Chanel's Kaska Beige Eyeshadow Quad ($56.00) from Les Impressions de Chanel Collection is my very favorite piece from the collection.
When it comes to eyeshadows, Chanel and I don't always get along; it's always very hit or miss. (I find I'm...
Here's a quick and dirty look using products from MAC's Love Lace Collection! I managed to squeeze in all four of the eyeshadows that came out. Just an FYI, Blanc Type looks very, very subtle in real life -- it's not a very camera-friendly color (tends to look a lil' on the chalky...
U.S. Launch Date: February 25th, 2010
Secrets revealed! Blind items on Page Six. Which model was seen looking spectacular leaving which mogul’s Manhattan penthouse in full makeup and evening wear at 7 a.m.? Everyone loves the sizzle, the guilty pleasure of getting the...
Three new, limited edition shades of creamy nail lacquer will debut in January as part of Chanel's Les Impressions de Chanel Collection. The new shades are: Inattendu, Tendresse, and Particuliere. I didn't receive Particuliere to review, so I haven't seen...
If you're a fan of Chanel's glossimers, I think you're going to like the two shades included in Chanel Les Impressions de Chanel Collection, debuting this January. Neither color is ultra pigmented by any means--as is the nature of...

Get comfortable with eyeliner (either top/bottom or both!); love yourself some mascara, and always be willing to experiment!
Earlier this week, I asked readers how they organize their nail polish to get some input on how to organize mine! Surprisingly, the majority of these polishes are from awhile ago - I go in phases with nail polish; I buy bottle after bottle...
You know I'm a BIG, BIG fan of Clarisonic, right? I've been a fan since the very first Clarisonic (aka the Original) came out. It helps to cleanse and gently exfoliate skin on a regular basis. Clarisonic wants to make your holidays a little brighter (and...
