I must admit that I’m pushing 30.  These eyes aren’t without wrinkles anymore.  Most nights, I have to go to bed at 9pm. But apply a cucumber mask, do my nails, soak in a bubble bath… and I might just feel like a goddess. Watching Michelle Phan’s beauty videos make me feel, well… young again.  [...]

I have to confess: I’m new to the whole over-the-top makeup trend.  Like, very new.  Like, just this year I started shopping more at Sephora, coveting ultra-expensive makeup palettes.  Like the Urban Decay Naked 2. And it’s all because of YouTube makeup tutorials that absolutely permeate the internet. I’ve even subscribed to a weekly makeup [...]

Ha ha ha ha ha. Ho ho ho ho hoooh my goodness! So I read that this ad featuring my girl Rachel Weisz (Mummy fan for life, see me, son!) had been banned in London, I was like “It’s probably because of nipples.” But then I was given pause, because they loves nipples in England. [...]

  I don’t bronze. Expose me to sun and I immediately blister and form worrying moles. Give me cosmetic and cancer-free assistance and unless I commit to standing in the nude dancing my anus into unfortunate angles as I attempt to swab every fish-belly inch of myself, I look like I might be wearing black [...]

This has not been a great week for me and products, dudes. As documented yesterday, I nearly died of the awful stank of CoolGel Nair, and then last night, seeking to soothe my chemically youthifthied visage (That’s happening and you know it. Ya heard.) I decided to try out Lumene’s Time Freeze Firming Day Cream. [...]

After brutalizing my smackers with lip stain the other day, I decided for our next endeavor on this here site, to get glossy, glossy. (Fergie reference for the win.) I’m not, at my core, a lip gloss girl. That shit is almost all too sticky and it draws my hair to it like an irritating, [...]

Lip stains are like girl in your high school who wore wrist cuffs and used to live in New York until her parents split: It doesn’t matter how dismissive she is of you – your ass keeps coming back and suggesting music for her download. It’s because what it offers is so appealing – a [...]

When it comes to eyelashes, I am woefully lacking. It would only be a minimal exaggeration to claim that upon first meeting me, people very often ask me how much I enjoyed starring in the film Powder. (Fun fact – guys, Sean Patrick Flannery of Boondock Saints AND Young and the Restless played Powder! Whaaaaat?) [...]

The names different makeup companies assign themselves are incredibly hit or miss. Observe: Cover Girl – Pretty okay. Despite knowing better, I do aspire to be prominently featured on the cover of different periodicals. Like More Magazine for Women of a Certain Age, and The New Republic. Maybelline – a song by Chuck Berry.A good [...]
