Welcome to the Ultimate Blog Party!

Welcome to Chic Critique — where regular women review beauty products and bring you the scoop.  Please don’t hate us because we’re beautiful our blog clashes with the Ultimate Blog Party button. 

And don’t EVEN try to tell me that I’m the only one who noticed that.  The OCD, it is painful at times.

Oh, pardon me, how rude!  I haven’t even introduced myself.  I’m Jo-Lynne, a stay-at-home mom of three living in the suburbs of Philadelphia.  When I’m not bringing you the latest Sephora has to offer, here at Chic Critique, I’m musing on matters of fashion, reality TV, and the joys and trials of motherhood at Musings of A Housewife.

June is a professional proofreader and, at the moment, a church secretary.  She recently relocated from the stiletto jungle of L.A. to the backwoods of North Carolina, which provides plenty of fodder for her blog, Bye Bye, Pie.  She has a brand new puppy and a slew of cats, and she’s training for a marathon.

We are always on the lookout for entertaining and informative guest posts, so if you think you might be interested, check out this post for more information.

Feel free to look around.  In addition to some great product reviews, both pro and con, we also have a tutorial on applying liquid eye-liner and a post about the latest makeup trends for spring.

Why don’t you leave a comment and tell us who you are, and tell us the one beauty product you would like to see reviewed.  Thanks!  Happy party hopping!

And remember, you won’t miss a single product review if you subscribe.

  2. Just party hopping and wanted to let you know that your link (#250) doesn’t work on the UBP post. I have to confess that I am a regular lurker at Bye Bye Pie and LOVE her! Just wanted to let you know so you can repost your link and all the world can read about $100 hair brushes and other beauty necessities. Party on, y’all!

  7. Nice meeting you… hope you have a wonderful Blogging Party… take care…

    P.S… you say your friend lives in NC… my sister in law lives in Murphy…

  8. Just out party hopping! Can’t wait to check out your post on how to apply liquid liner! I’m not very good at that!

  9. Hi, I’m here from the Blog Party, and how funny, my name is JoLynn….not too many of out there as far as I know, although we each spell our name differently. 🙂

    A beauty product I’d like to see reviewed? How about a comparison review between Bare Minerals and Bare Escentuals? As far as I know they are different in SPF but I’d like to know which is rated higher and how else they stack up.

    Enjoy the party!

    All the best,

    JoLynn

  10. I want you to write to Rimmel and ask them why they quit making the sparkly star eyeroller eyeshadow they used to make. 🙁 I miss it.

    I love things that sparkle!

    Happy BlogParty!

  11. Love your blog. I just started blogging and decided to join the party. I will take any advice you expert bloggers have.
