Trisha — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 18:43:50 +0000

On the quest for the perfect lipstick? Aren’t we all? I’ve reviewed many lipstick products, and the new Avon Ultra Color Rich Extra Plump Lipstick is next in line. I tried the Ho3 color: Pink Sunset. This lipstick is a bit different. Rather than just focus on color (which is a pale, shimmery pink) they also [...]

Makeup Files No Longer a Part of Total Beauty

Hey gals! If you’re a fellow beauty blogger or are just hip to the scene, you may know about some controversy in regards to statements that the CEO of Total Beauty made. Any company that insults the people who made it what it is is just not cool it my book. I’m not going to make some long [...]

The weather is finally showing signs of summer. I really needed the heat! And, with heat comes fire, and with fire comes smoke. Thus, I did a smoky eye today. Take a gander, ladies: My mom decided to take over my grandma’s Luzier side business and she sent her all her old eye shadows. Since most [...]

…Another Woman’s Treasure

I was out for a walk the other day and happened upon a pile of free stuff in front of my neighbors house. Amidst the dirty old phones and huge, ripped up couch was this: A Clinique makeup bag! Someone was just throwing this out. Can you believe it? It’s bright pink vinyl with the [...]

Beauty Review: Degree Fine Fragrance Collection Deodorant and Body Mist

Trisha — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 21:52:18 +0000

I have a tiny confession. For some reason, my deodorant hasn’t been working well enough lately. I don’t know why. It’s like my body got immune to it or something. So I was happy to try the Degree Women Fine Fragrance Collection, mainly for the deodorant. What’s different about this collection is the scent is created [...]

What is Your Nighttime Skincare Routine?

Trisha — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 15:41:07 +0000

What products do you use on your skin at night? Regular bar soap? Fancy department store cleanser? There are so many options for cleaning and moisturizing your face. I bet you could get 10 women together and they would each have a unique routine. Well, I’d like to see if that’s true. Tell me your nighttime skincare [...]

Trisha — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 18:59:12 +0000

Hey gals! As you may remember, I moved (homes) on the first. I’m still not completely unpacked. It takes a lot longer to unpack than it does to throw all that stuff in boxes. I have a piano recital tonight. I’ve been taking a piano class through the local community education system. I’ve learned a lot! [...]

Is Your City Hurting Your Skin?

Trisha — Sat, 30 May 2009 16:53:58 +0000

Total Beauty came out with a list of the 13 Worst-Skin Cities (In the U.S.). Is your city one of the worst? I fully expected mine, Missoula, Montana, to be one of them. When I moved here from Minnesota, my skin just dried right up. Before, I could get by with a very light face lotion. [...]

Self Tanner 101

Trisha — Thu, 28 May 2009 22:12:22 +0000

Tanning is popular. Who doesn’t love a nice tan glow to their skin? It signifies summer! The only healthy tan is a fake one, though. Sure, you could go lay out on the lawn and soak in the sun, but you know what comes with that, right? A higher risk for skin cancer. Plus, wrinkles. No one [...]

Trisha — Mon, 18 May 2009 20:02:14 +0000

I’ve been reviewing a lot of mascaras lately. A lot of people are like me. If you have just 10 seconds and are set on not leaving the house without makeup, just swipe on some mascara. We’re often on a continuous quest to find the right mascara for us. It can be tough! Lately, I’ve been [...]

This spring and summer, pink is back in style. (Yay! I love pink!) I tried a pink shade of Max Factor Vivid Impact Lipcolor, a new lipstick line. My shade was #28 Rose Rage. This lipstick has been the talk of the town here on the internet. But is it really all it’s cracked up to [...]

Beauty Review: Clynol Play With Me Powder Punch

Trisha — Tue, 12 May 2009 18:23:32 +0000

Have you ever styled your hair with a powder? Up until recently, I hadn’t. After all, most styling products are a mousse, gel or spray. But powder? That’s pretty rare. I got to try the Clynol Play With Me Powder Punch. It’s a powder styling agent. They call it ‘texture powder’. How good is this product? [...]
