A few weeks ago, I sent out a plea on Twitter for favorite brands of everyday eyeshadow. The votes were clear: once you go MAC, you never go back. So I hightailed myself to Nordstrom and got my first MAC eyeshadows - All That Glitters and Trax. Around the same time, I got a flyer in the … [Read more...]
The Tale of Two Mascaras
October 16, 2009
It seems mascara is a hot topic this week. I have to agree that my favorite mascara this last year has been the very affordable Lash Blast. The packaging, in my opinion, stinks but I love the product. Although, I will say that a fat orange tube is certainly one way to separate itself from … [Read more...]
How’s the new CoverGirl mascara? It all depends on what you’re looking for…
October 14, 2009
A while back I fell in love with a drugstore mascara. I know. I was shocked myself. But what can I say? CoverGirl hit a home run with its lashBlast mascara, a non-sticky formula that gives great volume and length for a third of the price of my beloved Lancome Definicils. So -- economic … [Read more...]
Fall In Love With Scarves
October 13, 2009
Since last fall I've really been into scarves. Not just because they keep my neck warm, but because they are one of the easiest ways to transform an outfit. Case in point. I took this plain black shirt and pants combo and added my new pashmina (just a fancy word for scarf in my opinion) to … [Read more...]
Rough, flaky skin….Be gone (…but not the giveaway!)
October 10, 2009
This giveaway is closed. The winner is Tiffany. Congratulations, Tiffany! I have been so hit and miss as a Chic Critique contributor that I should be ashamed of myself - and I guess I should also be ashamed that I'm not all that ashamed, but shamefully, I'm not. I do feel remorseful for … [Read more...]
Just Call Me Miss Fix-It
October 8, 2009
So I know this isn't exactly a crafty blog. But maybe you have a necklace or other piece of jewelry (perhaps broken?) you're not really sure what to do with. Try recycling it! I've had this plum-tones necklace I bought at Target a couple of years ago to go with some of my fall clothes. It was … [Read more...]
Kabuki Unique-y Fragrance-y
October 7, 2009
I have a hard time with fragrances. I used to be that girl that always wanted the newest perfume. I enjoyed florals, woodsy scents, citrus scents, musks, vanilla, you name it. Unfortunately, most perfumes now give me a headache. I had started to limit my choices to fragrances with vanilla or … [Read more...]

Lazy Girl
October 1, 2009
I'll admit it, I'm a lazy girl. I love beauty products, but I'm not willing to put too much time into using them. I hate to admit this, but I had many nights in my earlier years when I'd go to bed without even taking my makeup off, just because it seemed like such a hassle. (I KNOW!!!) So a few … [Read more...]
