Review: Shiro Curaga Mineral Highlight When I first purchased the Shiro Curaga Mineral Highlighter, I hated it. Unlike my usual golden highlighters, this is a pale pink color with an intense sheen like you wouldn't believe. The powder form makes it easy to pick up way too much product and the borderline-theatrical color can look artificial and over-the-top. Shiro Curaga Mineral...

Review: Wet'n'Wild Pop Art Color Icon Trios I love you, Wet'n'Wild, but damn, you can be difficult. Acquiring the Pop Art Trios, the new eyeshadows from Wet'n'Wild's limited edition summer line, has been a serious pain in the butt. I have been phoning drugstores incessantly. I even got a few false alarms, when Rite Aid employees assured me that they...

Review: theBalm Time Bomb Concealer in Lighter Than Light TimeBomb is one of two concealers by theBalm. It comes in nine shades that run from relatively light to relatively dark.

An Enormous Correction: Ounces Vs. Fluid Ounces It has recently been brought to my attention that I have been using ounces and fluid ounces interchangeably, even though they are definitely not the same thing at all. A fluid ounce is a unit of volume equal to 1/128 of a gallon (US). It was originally the volume of one ounce of wine....

Review: Wet 'n' Wild Color Icon Collection Eyeshadow Trios Among drugstore eyeshadow brands, Wet'n'Wild reigns supreme. Given the price point, Wet'n'Wild Eyeshadow Trios are really, really, absurdly good. Knock-your-socks off good. Does Wet'n'Wild outperform my favorite eyeshadow brands, such as LORAC? No. But for $3, it would be ridiculous to expect them to. For any makeup junkie on a strict...

How Does It Work? Toothpaste Unless you have very fuzzy teeth, there is a remarkably high probability that you use toothpaste.

The BECCA Shimmering Skin Perfector walks that fine line between "Wow, you look...
