Its been so hot that the idea of wearing makeup is less than appealing. But I broke my bare faced streak and applied a little color for this FOTD: FACE Senna Barely Base in Medium Laura Mercier Secre...
These are really nice. So nice, in fact, that I feel they can give the NARS Multiples are real run for the money. I went to cash in some points at ULTA, and left with the new Cargo ColorStick in St T...
I wanted to love this. After falling all over myself over the original Skin Base formula, I was only too eager to try the new illuminating version of the fantastic makeup base. So I plunked dow...
Its time for a new giveaway! I thought Id pay forward three of the most basic items in my regular maintenance. Meaning, if I only had 5 minutes to get ready, Id most likely reach for these things. Il...

I wanted to do something lighter with the new Chanel duo for Summer 2012... so for this look I concentrated on the gold portion of the duo. The result was sheer and wearable... and appropriate for al...

I finally gave up trying to resist the amazing orange lipstick that is MAKE UP FOR EVER Rouge Artist Natural in N43. Its a creamy opaque color, that looks amazing on my warm skintone: I used it for a...
I know its been a while since I did one of these. Been busy with Agenda, and since HABIBI hit CurlBox... Ive been fielding orders and what not. But, I did this look because it was quick and worked we...

This color is EVER sold out, and now that I finally have one of my very own... I can see why. Lipstick Queen released the Jean Queen lipstick (and lip gloss) some years ago. But the stores that...
Some time ago I started adding treatment oils to my nighttime regimen. Im much too oily to wear them during the day (my makeup would just slide off), but add them as my final step in nighttime moistu...
