This past winter when LOréal first released their Color Infallible shadows in the United States I was a bit overwhelmed by the color selection and purchased only one shade. Between the exclusivity of...
The Lipstick Bandits are at it again my friends, and this time weve teamed up to bring you our favorite summer brights. I knew I wouldnt be able to select just one (in fact ... even the look I chose ...
Im in the mood for another Seven Things on Sunday post. Dovey of Cute and Mundane cleverly called this type of post a "sketchbook" which makes perfect sense to me. A lot of thought and inspir...
I always find myself scintillated by Diors lipstick releases. This past summer when Dior repromoted their Dior Addict lipstick line I spent weeks agonizing over the color selection finally settling o...
Nothing says early summer quite like Greek mythology. I’ve long been inspired by classical myths, artwork, and iconography as these images are immensely ingrained in our culture whether we realize it...
Early in April I won a small giveaway Guerlain hosted on Twitter. Due to some confusion the product only just reached me, but my goodness was it ever worth the wait! If you were to ask me my favorite...
I absolutely adore the buttery and soft texture of Korres Lip Butters (like many of you, Jasmine is my absolute favorite) and was overjoyed when I heard the brand would be releasing a collection of C...
While using a rather unusual product to sooth my chapped lips this past weekend, it struck me that some of the basic items that I absolutely adore and come back to time and time again are relatively ...
My very first post on this blog was Januarys Cheeky Checklist, my version of a monthly favorites list that I post closer to the middle of the month to avoid the deluge of favorites that occur at the ...
As I mentioned in my last Brow Envy post (in which I waxed poetic about the magic of Kim Novaks transformation in the Hitchcock classic Vertigo), I adore the fine art of eyebrow shape during the 1950...
Laura Merciers summer collection Belle Nouveau truly captured my imagination. The milky pastels paired with creamy pinks and oranges evokes the beauty of an impressionist painting. Though I desperate...
As I sit here with a thick face mask on, its occurred to me that while I have a very well established skincare routine on Sunday afternoons I dont have much of a schedule where my blog is concerned. ...
The Giorgio Armani Écailles collection for Summer 2012 is the type that makes a makeup lovers heart sing. The mix of blues and sea foams, deep blacks and pearls is absolutely beautiful, bold and unli...
A recent conversation I had with a customer (I work at a design company) caused me to ponder the way we perceive color. How do you describe a shade and what does that description really mean? Do you ...
If you follow me on Twitter you will be well aware that for me, in addition to flowers and sunshine spring brings a bevy of unpleasant allergies. Among puffy eyes, sniffles, sneezes, and other frustr...
When Sunny of Mostly Sunny offered to purchase some Catrice products for me I knew I’d have to try their well regarded powder shadows for myself. Though I like a wide range of shades, I tend to opt f...
I’ve heard so many wonderful things about Catrice, which is yet another magnificent drugstore brand that is unavailable in the US. Unlike Sleek that has gained more mainstream popularity throughout t...
Every now and then a makeup palette becomes more than just a medium with which to create art on the face and becomes an objet dart in and of itself. Clarins have done just that with the release of th...
From the moment I began writing these Inspired by Literature posts I knew that Lewis Carroll would need to be featured at some point or another. Carroll singlehandedly created the story that perhaps ...
I wasnt quite certain what to expect when I ordered the most recent NARS blush release in the shade Liberté. Described as a "burnished apricot" the shade seemed to be a cross between the icon...

NARS has released yet another exceptionally well put together seasonal collection. Summer 2012 is unexpected and traditional, refreshing yet wearable and just the right size. What initially struck me...

The Clarisonic. To be quite frank with you, writing this review seems like an insurmountable task. One could have any number of different experiences with this product depending on your skin type, de...
Long before Getting Cheeky was born, before I studied in France and discovered just how much I love cosmetics and skincare, I fell in love with a MAC eye shadow that has long since been discontinued....
MACs In Extra Dimension collection promises shadows and highlighters in a "new liquid-powder formula with prismatic reflections that sculpts, highlights and models the face." Though theyve al...
I often experience a dilemma when new limited edition MAC products are released. Often by the time Ive received the products Id like to review many of the "hot ticket" items are already long ...
When Sephora announced they would be collaborating with Pantone to produce a collection inspired by the color of the year—Tangerine Tango—I was speechless. Sephora’s own cosmetic line has never much ...
I’ve been interested in Daniel Sandler’s infamous Watercolour Blush range for ages, but hadn’t thought to purchase one myself. Lately, though, my interest in cosmetics has been more in unique product...
