My favorite thing of the week award goes to Lavanila’s Lip Butter with SPF 15. It’s true that I don’t have a natural attraction to anything vanilla. I must admit I’m not a lover of vanilla scent but right now I need an escape from reality and the everyday, plus with the hubby around [...]

The ‘Sherlock Holmes’ feature film will be in theaters December 25, 2009. If you like the looks in the movie be sure to check out Chantecaille’s makeup line. Makeup artist Patricia Regan used a couple of products, including an old favorite, Chantecaille’s Just Skin tinted moisturizer. It’s a little expensive @ $62 per 1.7 [...]
This was different! I tried the L’Oreal HIP Kohl Eye Liners in Gold & Navy, two classic and at the same time, trendy colors which makes me happy.
The powder pigments are in little vials and the applicator is on a very short looped handle which I found awkward but workable. Not to mention [...]
I tested two L’Oreal HIP Presso Lip Glosses this month so if you’ve been wondering what that is on my lips it’s been this stuff. The first thing that caught my attention was the scent, something like a vanilla cupcake which may have some of you salivating. As you may know, [...]
Everybody’s looking for the best Smokey Eye Date Night Make Up Tutorial so I thought I’d post up a good new one featuring Josie Maran. Makeup is done by her favorite makeup artist, Sole using Josie Maran Cosmetics.

I wish I was back in my native New York… if I was I could be shopping at the very posh Chantecaille Sample Sale. I’ve been wanted the Protected Paradise compact soooo bad. Unfortunately I can’t upload the pic on here but go see it for yourself. There are two dates left!
Thursday May 28th, [...]
don’t miss out on Stila’s Indian Summer - may the beauty last through fall and beyond. I’m not going to talk up anything in particular since I have’t seen the collection but one thing is for sure it’s all gorgeous. I also need to get some more illuminating liquid foundation. I still have the practically empty [...]

A beauty blog fairytale...
Once upon a time, not too long ago, a lady was tired of talking heads that didn't get her lifestyle. She longed for one place where she could record her thoughts on the many wonderful products that came into her life and made it better (or worst).
Originally inspired by the tea she drank and steeped constantly, now the best part of waking up is a steamy, frothy espresso. So she may be a little fickle with her beverages!
Steeping Beauty has a soft spot for all things beautiful.
- skincare
- fragrance
- hair care
- nails
As well as all things culturally significant to her favorite far far away lands... France, Brazil, Japan, USA. Let's see where this less than perfect princess will step...
xoxo
