June Glossybox contents and a pretty large issue they refuse to fix...

american beauty
I don't always do a post for my Glossybox, but the box for June had pretty good content, so I thought I'd share it. I bought a year subscription last fall, and though I think Glossybox has had some of the best stuff (only somewhat offset by a higher price), I am disappointed by one glaring problem that they refuse to fix. Judging...

Sula Lipstick & Lip and Cheek Tint

all i ever wanted
My sister recently gave me a couple new products she found at the drugstore as a gift. Even though I had never heard of Sula, I was immediately intrigued by the packaging. The design is simple and the lipstick tube is made of metal and not plastic. They feel nice and look nice, which I personally find important in my beauty products. Most...

Swatches of MAC Reds - Including New RiRi Woo!

Charmed I'm Sure
With the release of RiRi Woo, the new Rihanna lipstick from MAC based off of the iconic color Ruby Woo, I decided to also pick up another beauty-blogger favorite, Russian Red. Instead of just showing swatches of RiRi Woo for you all, I thought it might be fun to swatch all of the deep red lipsticks that I have from MAC. First, a...

Dupe Alert w/Swatches YSL Red Muse vs MAC Ronnie Red vs Milani Red Label

beauty
One of my all time favorite lipsticks is my Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volupté lipstick in Red Muse. It's creamy and smooth and the perfect bright true red. However, it is $34. So, I found a couple other things at different price points that might fill the void if you are looking for something like this but don't want that high of a...

Happy Record Store Day!!!

2013
If you haven't been out to a local record store today, it's not too late! Today is Record Store Day (RSD) and for all who are unaware, it's a day where record labels and bands coordinate to have special releases and events at local record stores to encourage people from buying their music locally and tangibly. I don't think there is anything wrong with...

Favorite Spring Lipsticks with Swatches!

beauty
It is finally starting to become springlike outside. I'm starting to pull out the spring clothes and at the same time, I'm switching up a little bit of my makeup for the warmer weather. I had a hard time narrowing down lipsticks for spring because I love so many! And I wanted to include some high-end, mid-priced and drugstore colors as well. In...

Dupe Alert!! Tom Ford Ginger Fawn ($48) vs. Flower Beauty Coral Floret ($7)

beauty
While swatching for an upcoming post about spring lipsticks, I found a dupe! Admittedly, it isn't a dead-on dupe, but it's fairly close and due to the price difference between the two, I thought it would be something to pass along. Lipsticks: Ginger Fawn by Tom Ford vs. Coral Floret by Flower Beauty Price: Ginger Fawn is $48 (though I can't find this shade for sale...

Aqualillies
Before I get into this beautiful collection from Tarte, a little about Vine. It is a fairly new iPhone app available through iTunes that allows users to post short videos and share with followers. With these six second clips I have been showing makeup and sometimes swatching products while playing amazeballs music in the background. However, Vine has been a bit of a jerk...

March Fave Five!

Amazonian Clay
I can't believe it's April. Time is flying! I am very happy for Spring. As much as I love a good snowstorm, I get tired of it by March like most people. I also love it when there is no longer a question on if you should put on your wool coat or your trench. But on to the favorites! ...

Rimmel London Apocalips Lip Lacquers - Swatches!

beauty
I originally heard about these lip lacquers from Estee from Essiebutton and have been stalking the stores to no avail. However, I was browsing ASOS and found they had them, on sale even! So I picked up a couple of them. I always grab a red (duh) so BIG BANG fits that bill with a slightly warmer deep red, and I've been desperately trying...

Flower - Makeup by Drew Barrymore!

beauty
Once I heard that Drew Barrymore was putting out a makeup line, I was really curious about how it would turn out. Especially knowing that it intended to be sold in drugstores, not tested on animals and made in the USA. Unfortunately the line is currently only sold in Walmart stores. Since I am in NYC where there are (thankfully) no Walmart stores, I...
