Yes, I have many pink lip glosses!
That doesn’t mean it’s not STILL a beauty bag staple!
So, I was very excited to learn about the new Hiss Good Nite lip gloss.
It’s a shimmery pink shade that is delicate but still sexy and has a very kissable peppermint scent: Even the packaging is adorable!
No matter what your hobbies and schedule, a good pink lipgloss is a beauty staple – no matter what brand or style you choose. Just try it, and you’ll see what I mean.

Float into Spring with ethereal tones and goddess-like silhouettes.
The style of the season embarks on a journey of flesh-toned palettes and free-flowing fabrics. Essie’s new Spring 2009 color collection captures the femininity of the season with a fresh, hopeful attitude.
This season, there was an air of elegant practicality with an emphasis on expertly cut classics. Relaxed trousers and draping dresses were matched with cascading ruffles and comfy knits. The runways were awash in translucent fabrics and grounded hues, and designers encouraged hopefulness with pops of lively colors amidst must-have nudes.
The Essie Spring 2009 collection compliments the season’s dreaminess with a …read more

When one is fortunate enough to have three daily columns, they should really attempt not to, via sheer laziness, blow it.
Maintenance of said workload is dependent on one being steadfast in their schedule, their tasks, and their daily responsibilities.
And still, when someone is a girlie girl who loves new toys…even with the best of intentions, this goes right out the window!
This past weekend, Lori Greiner sent me her spinning mirrored cosmetic organizer.
Now, I have had many such devices in the past…but as someone who receives boxes and boxes of cosmetics daily, it’s super easy for even the best of products …read more

Fall is just underway but winter will be here before you know it. And with it comes holiday parties, dressing up and lots of glamorous makeup.

The Warm version features three new limited edition colors, Chestnut, Brunette and Suede, plus fabulous Banana. The Cool quad features new shades …read more

MakeUpMania is a great source for both glamour and SFX/”fun” makeup. Aside from the LaFemme Glow On Rouge and eyeshadow pans (so huge and just a few bucks each), there are all kinds of wigs, fake blood, and everything you could possibly want to be sexy or scary for Halloween. The prices are already quite reasonable but saving 13% on top is not too shabby! I will be plotting my order tonight as the code ends after Friday!
Are you dressing up for Halloween? Or do you have kiddies to take …read more

It was all the talk of the beauty boards when Besame Cosmetics announced its super sale (up to 75% off). The brand is repackaging/reformulating much of its line, so it’s out with the old, in with the new! I made a purchase a few weeks ago, and many of the products are still available. I just love the cute, retro packaging. It’s so luxe! The lipstick tube design is inspired by a lipstick case that belonged to Hernandez’s grandmother.
Some products I can wholeheartedly recommend are the Pistachio Eyeshadow, …read more
