How Much Do Your Eyeshadow Brushes Matter? I was one of them. "ELF studio eyeshadow brushes are basically just as good as the nice brushes," I rationalized. And yes, in comparison to my dinky discount brushes from $10 brush sets, ELF was performing pretty well. It all changed, though, when I got a hold of theBalm's Give Crease a Chance Eyeshadow...

Source: http://doridream.miiduu.com/userdata/store1/22506/image/data/missha_bb_creams-JM69.jpg I know you want to believe in magic. I want to believe in magic too! I was also a slightly disappointed 11-year-old when...

Review: theBalm Schwing Liquid Eyeliner I have always been a gel eyeliner devotee. Liquid eyeliner seems messy, difficult to apply, and unforgiving. Schwing, by theBalm, turns my stereotypes about liquid eyeliner on their head. Unlike traditional liquid eyeliner, which comes with an awkward brush, Schwing has a felt tip, which makes it much easier to be precise. Although I had a brief...

What Does The Labeling on My Sunscreen Tube Mean? It is 81 degrees outside, Y'all, and I am wearing a long sleeve shirt. Somehow, it became summer and I did not notice. In celebration of the fact that my town has gone directly from "too chilly" to "sweltering", it seems appropriate to acknowledge the number one most important summer beauty...

I take pretty decent care of my brushes. I wash them once a week,...

Beauty Bullshit: the Vampire Facelift Reader whateveramber says “I would love to see you do a Beauty Bullshit post on the ‘vampire facial.’ My rational brain tells me that that can't possibly work, plus it looks creepy as hell.” Anything with the term “vampire” in the common name is surely based in concrete science.
