Leonardo Da Vinci’s “Mona Lisa” is perhaps the world’s most recognized work of art. What makes it so special? There is much speculation and debate on that, but part of it is her enigmatic gaze which seems to follow viewers wherever they go. Would you like to be followed wherever you go? Then perhaps using […]

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. So far, all the people I’ve talked to from Gorgeous Cosmetics have been very pleasant […]

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 […]

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 […]

Most people get electronics on Black Friday/Cyber Monday... Me? I get makeup. Sugarpill had a pretty decent 30% sale going on, so I took the opportunity to get a few Loose Eyeshadows. Fortunately, three of the shades I got were actually included in the Zillionaire Loose Eyeshadow Trio - Junebug, Goldilux, and Hysteric. The other Sugarpill Loose Eyeshadow I purchased was Asylum.

I love Illamasqua for their edgy and unique shades. I have a few cream blushes and lipsticks from them, but these cream pigments are the first eye products I’ve purchased from them. When I first swatched Delirium and Mould, I was pleasantly surprised at how wearable these shades are. I’m going to do an FOTD […]

Every now and then I chance upon a product that I absolutely love yet never really get to use. The reality of being a beauty blogger is that you rarely get to stick to any given product for a long period of time. There’s always something new to buy, try, and report on. While it […]

I have been purchasing a lot of shimmery cream shadows lately – I love using them because they stay on all day and I can skip using an eye primer. They’re so easy to work with. Most of the time, I just use my finger to apply it directly to my lid. So, I’ll be […]

I'm finally reviewing these Blingtone Eyeshadow singles from myface cosmetics, which has been my favorite eyeshadow for the past two years. I got my first Blingtone through Beauty Army, in sp"ice"y, and I used it every day for a year. Literally. I still use it a lot in my today (just check my past FOTD's!). I kept wanting to buy more shades - especially after watching Kabuki use one in Caribbean Queen in his "Extreme Glamour" demo at IMATS NYC this year - but I procrastinated for no real reason.

A few days before IMATS, Sugarpill tweeted a picture of a limited edition eyeshadow that would be selling exclusively at IMATS LA. It was a beautiful, shimmery red with noticeable hot pink undertones and incredibly vibrant. It almost looked like it could be a hybrid of Love+ and Birthday Girl. I knew from that moment […]
