Revlon Makeup Eraser Pen

2010-12-01T22:38:25Z

One of the most tedious makeup looks is the liquid eyeliner on the top lid. Any woman is bound to make a mistake if she’s doing it to her own eyes and rendering herself one-eyed in the process. If I had to guess, the Revlon Makeup Eraser Pen was made for all the one-eyed women [...]

Urban Decay Lip Liner

2010-11-30T19:49:11Z

Lip liner is a product that the younger generations of us women don’t really use. A lot of us just like to throw on some lip gloss and often don’t even wear or try lipstick, let alone liner. Ladies, lip liner is an excellent addition to not only your lipstick but also your gloss. The [...]

Rimmel Stay Matte Clarifying Foundation

2010-11-27T19:27:07Z

Since I enjoyed the Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder so much, I decided to give the Rimmel Stay Matte Clarifying Foundation a try. It claims 12 hour shine control with matte coverage, much like the pressed powder, but I think that number is a bit exaggerated. My skin is fairly clear except for some redness and [...]

Too Faced Eyeshadow

2010-11-27T19:40:02Z

With makeup becoming an essential way for women to express themselves, there has been an evolution of many new cosmetic lines in the past few decades. So as women, we’re not just limited to the cosmetic gurus that have been around forever like Estee Lauder and Lancome, but a wide range of brands that are [...]

Neutrogena Mineral Sheers Loose Powder Foundation

2010-11-18T17:43:54Z

Sometimes, you get really lucky at the drugstore. The one around my house was undergoing construction, and it seemed like they wanted to liquidate their makeup aisles to save room – hence the bins of $1.99 makeup. I was rummaging through the bins like a cavewoman when I found Neutrogena Mineral Sheers – a loose [...]

Philosophy Supernatural Mascara

2010-11-16T04:34:14Z

Just like each of us have very different lashes , we all have different needs for our mascaras. So my expectations may vary from yours when it comes to mascara but one thing I can say without doubt, is that Philosophy’s Supernatural Mascara wasn’t super enough for me. The tube itself is quite simple, but works for me. [...]

Maybelline Expert Wear Blush

2010-11-13T19:06:24Z

On my most recent quest for a new Maybelline ColorSensational lipstick (as if I really needed it), I decided to give the Maybelline Expert Wear Blush a try, because I actually did need a new blush. Really! I like the blush compact – it’s thin and credit card sized. In Diva language, this means I can [...]

Balmshell Lip Gloss

2010-11-09T19:20:10Z

Lip gloss is the modern woman’s alternative to lipstick. A little more sexy and a little less serious. Balmshell Lip Gloss, no you didn’t hear me wrong not Bombshell, but Balmshell Lip Gloss is a gloss that combines the concept of lip balm and lip gloss… sounds like twice as many perks! With aisles and aisles [...]

2010-11-11T00:02:34Z

Check out the look we created for MakeupAndBeauty.com, a smokey eye look that is toned down and perfect for day wear! …Because who says smokey eyes are just for the evening? Here is a list of what I used to create the look: NARS Makeup Primer Anastasia’s Perfect Brow Pencil in Brunette Lancome Aquatique Eye Color Base Bobbi Brown’s [...]

NYX Eyeshadow Base

2010-11-04T14:41:55Z

It’s not often you see drugstore brands offering eyeshadow bases, so I was pretty interested in trying the NYX Eyeshadow Base with Pearl. It looks high quality from the outside, but the inside story is something else. I started off by rubbing my pinky finger in the base and applying it to my clean eye lids. [...]
