Women FALL for Lancôme’s newest mascara, Ôscillation

I’ve FALL-en for Lancôme’s newest mascara, Ôscillation.   A unique mascara that provides a 360-degree coat around each and every lash.   No less than 7,000 vibrations per minute will get lashes batting for sure. 

The development team was led by Jean-Louis Guéret, the designer of all Lancôme mascara brushes.  With an impressive resume of almost 400 mascara brushes under [...]

Hollywood’s Beauty Secret, Margaret Kroesen’s Frownies

Frownies are simple and effective, the best part?  Frownies are easy to incorporate into your bedtime routine.  I’m admittedly late to reporting on Frownies, I don’t have (m)any wrinkles yet but I figure it can’t hurt to pre-emptively train my muscles, right?!

How to use Frownies

Sometimes when things are simple, they stump me!  it’s true, I’m [...]

NARS balancing foam cleansing mousse

The word ‘balance’ is often used in skincare and health talk.  I can’t help but think of myself delicately trying to balance on a beam.  Did anyone else have to go through the balance beam drill in school?  I could NOT stand it. 

I was terrible at it to begin with but in addition [...]

Anastasia’s Brow Gel Product Review

 Anastasia’s Brow Gel is a clear gel that keeps your eyebrows looking good all day.  When I was in High School I used clear mascara to keep my eyebrows in place.  The experience was not without incident, most of the time the formula would flake up or get stiff as a board.  Not the look I was going [...]

Redpoint Airbrush Effects Cream Blush Product Review

My personal favorite Redpoint item, Airbrush Effects Blushwhip is a light and airy blush.  The color is a perfect dewy glow.

The packaging is bulkier than I personally prefer, a tub inside a larger container,  but it’s perfect for your home vanity.  The color can’t be beat, a nice corally tone with flecks.  I use just one [...]

NARS Duo Eyeshadow Divine

NARS Divine Duo Eyeshadow Darling, Pink and Brown, vibrant do I dare to wear?!  I’ve experimented a bit and I like it as a thin wash of pink color.  I put pink on the lid and the brown in the crease.  I’ll try from scratch some day soon. Have I mentioned, my camera is busted, seems a [...]

Redpoint Rejuvenating Bronzing Silk Product Review

Redpoint‘s Rejuvenating Bronzing Silk comes in a gorgeous red compact.  I love the weight of it, luxury, finery whatever you call the things you love, this is it.  I’ve used the bronzing powder a few times for the purpose of this test but truth be told, I generally use bronzing powder in the dead of [...]

Smashbox Photo Op Under Eye Brightener Product Review

This is my current must have!  First moisturizer, then Smashbox Photo Op Under eye Brightener, then Stila’s Illuminating Foundation.  I haven’t been getting much sleep lately, with the sun setting so much later, I lose track of time and the kids stay up later which pushes everything else, i.e. blogging, later into the night. 

 That’s where [...]
