At the least make plucking those hairs a little easier. Have you ever tried to find those stray long dark hairs on your neck and under your chin? It's nearly impossible! With the way my hair grows I can't always wait till my next waxing/laser/whatever appointment to let someone else clean them up … [Read more...]
Smokey Eyes for Spring and Summer
April 30, 2009
And I'm not talking about the burning sensation and redness that forms from sitting down-wind around the campfire! I think it is safe to say that the smokey eye has become a classic and is here to stay. It comes across as the modern look of sexy sophistication. However the black and dark … [Read more...]
Fresh Faced for Spring
April 24, 2009
The sound of lawnmowers and the smell of grass are definitely harbingers of spring around these parts. I take great pleasure in shaking off the winter tights and boots and exposing my legs and toes to the world. As I mentioned before I also like lightening the load of my make up bag! One of my … [Read more...]
Almay Bright Eyes Liner/Highlighter Duo
April 17, 2009
Alrighty. I confess. Lately I've been having a tough time dealing with my AGE. I may even be having myself a good old fashioned mid-life crisis. I don't know. All I know is that lately everytime I've looked in the mirror, some old lady's blinked back at me with tired, sunken, dull looking … [Read more...]
The eye(brow)s have it
March 12, 2009
Every once in a while I get random compliments from strangers about my eyebrows. (In fact, at least two such instances happened to me during Blissdom.) But really, they’re complimenting me on my eyebrow pencil because my natural brow seems to end a little over half-way. Which is totally … [Read more...]
Makeup Application 101: Brushing up on the basics
October 28, 2008
When I first got married, I could not cook to save my life. My culinary repertoire consisted of cold cereal, boiling water and, on a good day, maybe a scrambled egg. Despite my gastronomic deficiencies, my mother and grandmother insisted on outfitting my newlywed kitchen with every utensil, gadget … [Read more...]
A Plucky Post About Tweezers
April 16, 2008
Now, who knew that you needed to spend $20 to get a good pair of tweezers? Have you ever noticed that all my posts are about me telling you to spend too much money on products? Why is that, do you think? Could it be because I am the world's biggest beauty snob and I have poor spending … [Read more...]
An eyelash curler that’ll make your eyelashes curl.
March 26, 2008
As I said last week, I do not have long, luxurious eyelashes. They are more short, convenient eyelashes. I mean, they keep foreign objects out like they are supposed to, but fancy they aren't. If my eyelashes were a hotel, they'd totally be the Ramada, not the Four Seasons. This is why I am … [Read more...]
Guest Blogger: Heather on Cover Girl Tinted Moisturizer
March 25, 2008
I'm Heather, mom to three little ones and three cats, wife to one husband, and learning to live in the unforced rhythms of grace. You can find me at Me In The Madness. Were you to enter my somewhat cramped master bath, you’d find three things: my kids’ bath toys in my garden tub … [Read more...]
