Hey all! It's been a minute, hasn't it? Life's been pretty hectic, but it seems to be calming down a bit--well, at least enough to be manageable--so hopefully I'll get some more looks posted for y'all soon enough. (BTW, I'm wearing Givenchy's new Kajal liner--super sultry black--and Le Metier de...

When it comes to small, flesh-colored acne, this is the king for me. Whenever I spot any that crop up, I'll smear a little of the Drying Cream on the area before I go to bed. In the morning, they've totally vanished, and I mean vanished! I'm pretty skeptical about...

What beauty products have you gotten back ups of? Which products do you fear running out of?
.
I remember my first back up was of Dejarose lipglass... even though I rarely wear it now, LOL! The only other item I've just had to have back ups for is Mari-sheeno lipstick. I think I have 4! . .
You know I had to do lip swatches, too ;)
Saint Germain lipstick came out in Euristocrats, which wasn't a collection available stateside, so it is a treat to have it come out in a regularly available launch. It's a pretty cool-toned lipstick; maybe a little pinker than Melrose...

Remember how there was one Le Metier de Beaute gloss that slipped away (aka out of stock)? I ordered it off of Neiman Marcus Online last week (they had free shipping!), and it arrived yesterday. I thought I'd share it, because I love, love, LOVE IT!
The color is Papaya Creme ($36), and it's this...

Oh, wow! I haven't worn any full makeup in WAY too long... not since getting back from NYC! I think the last look I wore was my Le Metier de Beaute glosses :) I love them just by...
Yesterday I posted about my new favorite lipgloss, and here are lip swatches of the three I featured :) Tell me Framboise Creme doesn't get you just a lil' bit excited?

Do you buy beauty products from eBay? Are you well versed in spotting a counterfeit as an eBay buyer? Does it all overwhelm you?
.
I don't buy makeup off of eBay generally, though I bought several Dazzleglasses before they originally launched from a reputable seller and was happy with those purchases....
While in New York, I was scoping out Bergdorf Goodman's (for the first time!), and I came across a brand I had never heard of before: Le Metier de Beaute. I was drawn to the brand partially because it was...
The Drying Lotion is designed to be used as a spot treatment. It uses a combination of calamine and salicylic acid. (So when my boyfriend called me "Calamine-face", he was actually correct!) Mario Badescu makes several different acne spot treatment products,...

After I use the Acne Facial Cleanser, I pat my face dry (with a towel used *only* to dry my face). I squeeze a little bit of the Special Cucumber Lotion onto a cotton round, and then I use apply it to my face. You basically apply it the same way you...
Do you skimp on other things so you can spend more on beauty? Do you think, "Skip Starbucks, gimme a lipgloss!"?
.
I definitely spend less in other areas, like clothes, shoes, and purses so I have more bucks for beauty. I prefer shopping at stores like H&M for my clothes so I can indulge in YSL...
It's Mario Badescu Week here on Temptalia!! :) I'm finally reviewing the products that have taken my skin from omg-total-pizza-face to minimal acne/near clear. In just a week, I saw a noticeable difference; within two and a half weeks, it was 80% cleared. After a full four weeks, it was at 90%...
