Hautelook works on the same concept as Guilt Groupe, or Billion Dollar Babes if you’re already familiar with those two gems. They basically hold online sales for a set period of time offering usually brand name clothes, shoes, or accessories. Now, …

Mane ‘n Tail Shampoo

Did you know that celebrities such as Sarah Jessica Parker and Jennifer Aniston have been said to get their beautiful long hair from a horse shampoo called Mane n’ Tail?

Urban Decay vs. Bourjois Liner

And so far, that search has landed me in the pleasant, medium priced world of Urban Decay’s Liquid Liner in Perversion. I love it, it loves me — it was a beautiful, exclusive relationship until …

Finding My Face Powder

Over the years I have tried a lot of face powders; mainly Shiseido, Lancome, and La Prairie.  I was first introducted to Shiseido because I was already using some of their products.  I figured it would be good to use because it was made in Japan… all those Japanese girls have beautiful skin!  I thought I could use their products and maybe my skin would …
