BBAC 2012: Day 12 - Malled

BBAC 2012: Day 12 - Malled

Posted on Wednesday, at

Most years I am somewhat smart. I make a little pact with myself: between US Thanksgiving and the end of January, I don't go into stores of any type unless I'm buying groceries, or necessities (like cat litter.) This is because the holidays have an unnerving effect on people. They ...

BBAC 2012: Day 11 - I love EVERY COLOR!!!

BBAC 2012: Day 11 - I love EVERY COLOR!!!

Posted on Tuesday, at

My eyeshadow collection is pretty varied. I've got fewer black/white/grey shadows than any other single color, but I've got pretty even distribution of greens, oranges, yellows, purples...everything else. I do have a lot of browns, and for a while I went on a forced fast: no matter...

Benefit’s Eye Wanna kit

Benefit’s Eye Wanna kit

Posted on Tuesday, at

I was interested in these two kits (this one and Eye Gotta) primarily for the creaseless cream shadows. (I really like Benefit’s Creaseless Cream Shadows - which I have to wear with a primer in order for them to last all day without creasing, but they are excellent shadow...

BBAC 2012: Day 10 - Less than luxe

BBAC 2012: Day 10 - Less than luxe

Posted on Monday, at

Sometimes, beauty products disappoint us - sometimes badly. Fortunately, it's become easier for consumers to be careful about their choices and to minimize disappointments. But they occasionally happen. My most recent two are from MYX and elf. A few years ago, prompted by a lipstick-swatchfest post over at Phyrra's place,...

BBAC 2012: Day 09 - My beauty discoveries this past year

BBAC 2012: Day 09 - My beauty discoveries this past year

Posted on Sunday, at

There are a few products that I started using this year that just may be added to my “must-have” list! While I have been using these items for less than a year, they've really impressed me. First up, <strong>Revlon's Just Bitten Balmstains</strong>. They apply easily, you...

BBAC 2012: Day 08 - My favorite (beauty) things

BBAC 2012: Day 08 - My favorite (beauty) things

Posted on Saturday, at

Yes, the allure of new beauty schtuffs is ever-present. New colors, new collections, new brands. But there are still those items that I keep using, keep returning to even if I briefly try something else. Everyone could make a list of their "beauty staples" - some holy grail products, some...

Lookbook: BFTE’s Miss Behavior

Lookbook: BFTE’s Miss Behavior

Posted on Friday, at

BFTE Cosmetics releases their holiday collections today - Miss Conduct, and Miss Behavior. I thought that since everyone else was posting looks with Miss Conduct, that I'd do a look with Miss Behavior (the blues-set). This was a little trickier, since with Miss Behavior, there is no obvious “highlighter” shade....

<strong>Goodbye Tarte; hello Revlon</strong> Tarte's Lipsurgence lip tints are great in several ways. They twist up, meaning you never waste any product during sharpening; they have a fairly broad shade range (in terms of warm, neutral, and cool); they moisturize very well; they don't feel heavy...

BBAC 2012: Day 06 - I just don’t get it

<strong>Fyrinnae's Pixie Epoxy</strong> This was initially created by Fyrinnae's cosmetic chemist because he wanted to keep the glitters in their place, and glittery. (The words I remember, but can't find now, were something to the tune of “I wanted to look like a pixie - not...

Zoya’s Ziv

Zoya’s Ziv

Posted on Wednesday, at

Elegant “holiday” metallic gold - and one of the only two polishes I got from the Ornate collection. It is somewhat similar to a few other Zoya polishes, but not similar enough that I'd skip this one: it's more metallic than Goldie, lighter than Richelle, brighter than Jules. Viewed up...
