Beauty Basics: Skin Care

Beauty Basics: Skin Care

Posted on Sunday, at

Cleanse and moisturize All kinds of chemicals, dirt, bacteria, and other substances accumulate on your skin all day, every day. Even if you stayed in a climate-controlled environment with no outside air, your skin secretes sweat and oil (and layers of dead skin cells.) This can cause irritations, rashes, or...

Saturday Soundtrack: Halleluja (by Sash!)

Saturday Soundtrack: Halleluja (by Sash!)

Posted on Saturday, at

If you prefer to listen to something a little calmer, a little techno-trance-ambient, here's track 14 from Trilenium (this is one of the bonus tracks, so you have to get the import version of the CD to get this one.) The video is just another still picture, and thus is fairly...

Review: Sassy Minerals

Review: Sassy Minerals

Posted on Friday, at

The Store / The Site Clean layout, basic navigation categories, clear photos, consistent styling and sizing, breadcrumbs on every product page, a site search utility...usability-wise, this site is spot on. I like that the main body of the page is on a white background, because I find it easier to...

News Roundup for week 14, 2011

News Roundup for week 14, 2011

Posted on Friday, at

I don't have much news this week. Also, for some reason this week, I've been unusually sluggish and tired. It may have to do with the fact that my city hasn't seen appreciable sun in over a month. (Apparently we not only gave up sunlight for Lent, we started Lent...

Sleek Makeup’s Storm i-Divine Palette

Sleek Makeup’s Storm i-Divine Palette

Posted on Thursday, at

I don’t normally used pressed-palette makeup any more, with a few notable exceptions (I had to cave and get the leaf-motif pressed blush from the Body Shop.) But I’d mentioned to Sirvinya that I wanted to try some of the Sleek pigments, and just before Christmas she sent...

Zoya’s Candy collection

Zoya’s Candy collection

Posted on Thursday, at

So why am I talking about this collection so dang late - and when I have three of the colors on order but don’t own any of them yet? For a pretty good reason, as it turns out. The summer 2011 collections, Sunshine (warms/reds/pinks) and Summertime (bright/skittles...

BareMinerals’ Girlfriend Collection kit

BareMinerals’ Girlfriend Collection kit

Posted on Thursday, at

A new kit, full-size eye and face colors, a decent price, not too many staples (a personal pet peeve of mine)...and except for the mineral veil and Leslie buxom (previously released on QVC), all new items or colors. It’s a good value and a nicely varied “intro” kit...

Zoya’s Pinta

Zoya’s Pinta

Posted on Wednesday, at

I bought this color a while back (when the price was actually still $7 a bottle) because I wanted darker colors which would look good under layering polishes, but would also look good on their own. This color…is a little too dark for me, I think. It's almost black! I...

My nail beds suck

My nail beds suck

Posted on Wednesday, at

I definitely need to practice more with nail stamping. The stamp came out with bald patches, it wasn't applied in the right place on the nails, and the outright sad application on my index and smallest fingernails...not good. Not horrific considering this is only the 2nd time I've tried...

Sally Hansen’s Pacific Blue

Sally Hansen’s Pacific Blue

Posted on Wednesday, at

I saw this color, but passed on it the first several times I bought any Xtreme Wear polishes because the bottles had been there for a while, and the color was beginning to separate a little bit. If you do see this color, get yourself a bottle - and just...
