Paula’s Choice Fantastic Lash is my new fave mascara. Great length, separation, and thickness, in that order. You can really build this up without many coats, which is super ideal for daily use and my under-2-minutes morning makeup routine. But you can add more layers later and it doesn’t get chunky or clumpy. Perfect for…
I did this: It’s not really any of the ‘dos, but it’s the same style. Yep selfies are weird. I also did all my makeup, with Urban Decay. Loves it. Contour tutorial here. Eyeball tutorial here. Wedding hair. Haaaaaalp! Leave thoughts in the comments.
Thank goodness for instructions. I like to think my past as a beauty editor gave me some insight into makeup … But frankly, I’m just wrong. I know nothing like Jon Snow. Urban Decay, however, knows everything. And they share their knowledge with me in this handy card that came with my Naked Smoky palette,…
I can’t believe I’ve been blogging since before 2008? A different topic. (Paula’s Choice circa 2008 here.) But Paula’s Choice tho. Throughout all of my dirty hippie adventures in skincare and beauty, Paula’s Choice has been there. Paula’s Choice has been my go-to for moisturizer, sunscreen, cleanser, and powder for … ever, I think. Their latest…
I want to be Olivia Pope, only not in Washington, just in life. It took me a few years to start watching Scandal (and I haven’t watched this season yet), but boy did I binge-watch once I did! At last night’s Oscars, Kerry Washington looked every bit the power player in her black-leather-bustier dress with a flowy…
UPDATE: The winner is MARA! In the interest of looking flawless like a faux celeb should, I am constantly chasing the perfect face makeup. For a clean beauty lover, mineral makeups are a go-to. In the past, though, I’ve chosen to go more traditional, using Paula’s Choice or Urban Decay because I don’t care for the texture. However,…
Delving deeper into this recent makeup mania, I’ve recently been playing with the “contouring”. I haven’t gotten too extreme—because hello have you met me I play sports and sweat all the time?—but I did want to share a great tutorial(!) and a pic of my attempt(*). *side commentary, just a lil FYI: when this blog launched…
The great thing about Urban Decay is that you don’t even have to title your blog posts when discussing, you simply use their lipstick names. This is the exact same face with different lip colors—how different do the looks look?! (Yes, I know I’m making vastly different faces, and both of them weird. As discussed,…
Y’all remember when I was a beauty editor and did fun makeup posts all the time—think My Chemical Breakup or that time the poor Vermonster had to be my smell tester for my all-natural deodorant quest? Maybe I got a lil lazy out here in Cali (when I wasn’t forced to try new things all…
