Welcome to another episode of Empties + Rejects. I find that this is actually a really great way to put out mini reviews of products that were just okay, or teaser reviews of products that I loved. O...
Kid Beyond: Wandering Star (Portishead cover). Sick, sick beats.Beautiful photography.I wish I was that cool.I wish I had an ice cream maker. Then I could make lactose-free ice cream! :D But realisti...
Revlon Colorburst Lip Gloss in Gold Dust.This is one of the glosses I purchased recently (the other being Coral Reef); while I wanted to wear Coral Reef alone, I wanted Gold Dust to be a layering glo...
You know Im no stranger to bold lips. I like them. They make statements. It took me a while to warm up to them, but now were friends. However, up until now, my lip collection spanned mostly reds, wit...
The big day is still five months out, but Im starting to get into "things I must do soon" (i.e., find a florist, meet with the caterer again, plan formal invitations, etc.) so its on my mind ...
Ive done green and orange, and got a request to do pink next, so here it is! I dont have a lot of pink eye shadows because its hard to find shades that dont emphasize my panda eyes; I only have a cou...
Maroon Five: Come Away to the Water (feat. Rozzi Crane). Not their typical sound, but I really like this song. Its from The Hunger Games soundtrack.Nail trend terms!This green gradient eye...I love.I...
Im not sure if Ive admitted to this on the blog before, but Im not much of a hair care girl. Because I have short hair, I visit the salon regularly (about every two months) to keep it trim, so I dont...
I usually have bright, obnoxious colors on my nails - or dark vampy ones - but I rarely have something delicate and feminine and soft or neutral. I think those shades are kind of hard to find, though...
Its been four months, and this month was better than the last, but perhaps not by much. I repurchased a Clinique moisturizing gel because I ran out, and I bought a new eye cream (Origins A Perfect Wo...
I wasnt really feeling the coral trend until I bought Revlon Coral Reef - then it just kind of exploded in my face - and on it. I realized how well the Dior Aurora + Guerlain Sunny Pink* combo comple...
Ladyhawke: Sunday Drive.Sometimes we need reminders like this.Animated version of The Tell-Tale Heart.So insanely cool; the likenesses are amazing.Haunting and beautiful.Love this. Such grace and str...
If you follow me on Twitter, youll know that I was completely smitten with Chanels summer coral glossimer, Calypso. Unfortunately for me, its not paraben-free. So I went on the hunt for another coral...
A really short tutorial, mind you. I know everyone has a few colored liners tucked away in their stash, but a few people have mentioned that they never quite know what to do with them. This is someth...
I hemmed and hawed over this one, but in the end, I gave in. It was just too damn pretty not to pick up, and I couldnt think of anything else like it. (Edited: I bought this before the ban!!! I just ...
Michael Jackson: Billie Jean. Because you always go back to classics.So amazing.Shel Silverstein! I always kind of wondered if these childrens books authors read their own work aloud in funny vo...
[Im traveling right now, as I mentioned yesterday, and wont be able to get to comments until I get back - no laptop! Have a great week!]Welcome to another volume of Empties + Rejects! I find that in ...
We are traveling today, so I thought Id show you what Im taking with me. Its a short trip, so I tried to keep the makeup bag trim. Especially since we arent checking a bag.Here are the cosmetics that...
I havent forgotten about this series, but Ive been a bit busy and havent had time to do the full FOTDs that this requires.I wanted to use a brighter red lip, but one that wasnt metallic or shin...
I had a lot of fun doing the orange version, so I decided to do green next, as I also love green eyeshadow and feel that its not utilized as often as it could be. Here is green, four ways. First, the...
The Piano Guys: Rolling in the Deep (Adele cover). Ive tired of Adeles smash hit and the countless vocal covers, but this one is instrumental and so painfully beautiful. Truly amazing.More food, I kn...
Compared to the rest of the country, summer in Seattle is kind of muted, I suppose. I love them, and think they are the best part of the year, but our version of summer is a clean, happy 80 degr...
The weather here this month has fluctuated between wildly warm and sunny (well, for Seattle), and dreary and wet. Its not quite summer here yet, but Ive been really loving the bronzed, beachy look la...
Um, so, how can a mascara be "photoready" or not? I would like to know. I can understand how they can tack that on to their foundations, but mascara...is mascara. It either does what it says,...
Cee Lo Green: I Want You (Hold on to Love). Cee Lo is a little bit creepy without his glasses on. Cee Lo, I love you and your crazy clothing, but keep your glasses on. Thanks.Im usually not into cute...
So, Im pretty sure that if I stopped reading Temptalia, I would stop buying makeup.Maybe. Id also prolly have to stop reading the rest of the Lipstick Bandits blogs, and various other ones. Its ...
Regular readers will know that I do not shy away from color (most of the time). For the past couple of months, Ive been a bit uninspired, which explains the lack of EOTD posts around here. I blame th...
Ive been a bad, bad girl. This was the third month of the beauty ban, and I admit that I slipped up a bit. The past month has been filled with so many temptations! I will show you what I passed on, a...
Snow Patrol: Called Out in the Dark. I like Snow Patrol. The end.Creepy, and kind of gross, but also kind of cool.These photos are beyond gorgeous, and kind of surreal in a way.My Facebook friends ha...
