Because of that, I have been thinking about new things I can write about, outside of product reviews. Cue the Celebrity Spotlight! Twice a month, or possibly more often, I’ll be featuring a celebrity and helping you recreate their look with product suggestions and beauty …

What’s in My Cosmetic Bag: Mila Grass

I had the pleasure of meeting Mila Grass at The Makeup Show LA last month, where she had been a finalist for the Face Chart Contest. A couple nights later, after I’d added her to facebook, I was looking at her page and saw that she did eyelash extensions. I had been wanting to get mine done again for a while, so I figured I’d …

At The Makeup Show LA, I came across a brand I’d never tried before – Gorgeous Cosmetics, from Australia. They’ve just come to the United States, having opened up their US headquarters in Los Angeles, and I am really excited.

My 2013 Beauty Resolution: Get More Beauty Sleep!

We've all heard the expression "You better get your beauty sleep," or something along those lines, but have you ever really thought about what it means for your overall beauty to get a good night's rest? Unfortunately, I am a bit of a night-owl, as I do most of my work in the evening and well into the wee hours of the morning. I don't really know why it is, but I find that I just work more efficiently at night. The downside of this, other than being perpetually tired during the day, is that I'm not getting enough beauty sleep! My skin has lost its luster, I'm constantly battling blemishes, and it just takes a lot longer for my skin to clear up after a breakout that it normally should. This year, I'm planning to change that!

2013 Pantone Color of The Year: Emerald

Last month, Pantone announced that the 2013 color of the year would be Emerald, and I couldn’t have been more excited because it’s one of my favorite colors to wear. I’ve been meaning to write this post for a few weeks now, but just haven’t had a lot of time lately between work and Theme Alchemy, a new site I’m starting to sell premium WordPress …

LORAC TANtalizer Highlighter & Matte Bronzer Duo

Lately, I've been noticing my skin can sometimes look a bit sallow or too cool for how sunny it usually is in Texas, so I've been trying to warm my face up a bit with makeup. Benefit's Hoola Bronzer used to be my go-to product for contouring the hallows of my cheeks, but it was a bit too neutral for me to keep wearing these days. So when I was at Sephora a few weeks ago, I picked up this TANtalizer Highlighter and Matte Bronzer Duo compact from LORAC.

Chanel Illusion D’ombre Long Wear Luminous Eyeshadow

This weekend, I sit at home with nothing to do because I am once again broke. Why am I broke? I went to the mall to get one thing and came back with about ten new makeup products, including my new favorite eyeshadow: Chanel Illusion D’ombre Long Wear Luminous Eyeshadow. I got two shades: Fantasme and Ebloui , when I really should have gotten …

MAC Guilty Passions – 4 Nicely Nude Gloss Kit

Since I usually go pretty dramatic on my eyes, I've come to rely on nude lips to tone down my look - No one likes a clown face. So when I was purchasing the prize for our December Makeup Madness Giveaway on maccosmetics.com, I was extremely tempted to also buy this 4 piece nude lip gloss kit too. So tempted, I just went ahead and added it to my cart. I really have no self control, haha.
