We have a winner! Thank you to all of the fabulous readers who entered Urban Apothecary’s Name That Lipstick contest! There were over 100 entries! I just received word on who the winner is….
Lori G. had the winning entry with “Compass Rose.” Lori’s entry said:
I chose “Compass Rose” since it incorporates both the lustrous pink color along with the idea of the classic ornamented navigation symbol. It speaks to adventure and romance, charting new courses, and vintage glamour that transcends time.
Lori I am so impressed with how much thought you put into naming the lipstick!
UA mentions a few runners up …read more

OK, let me just say that I had intended to write about some pretty cool products that Urban Apothecary has out, most especially how I love their What’s Hot Now page with pictures of the fall makeup looks and the exact products needed to achieve that look–thank you UA from the baffled and sometimes lazy people like me!
Anyway–as I was strolling through the site I then happened upon their mention that they are giving their products new packaging, so they needed to deeply discount them to make room for the newly packaged goodies.
My mouth hit the ground! Lipstick for $8!? …read more

My shine follows me everywhere like a bad habit. So thankfully the generous Cheri at Urban Apothecary reads this blog to know how my shiney complexion boils my blood. She sent along Got Blot and Make Under to see if she could resolve this problem child for me.
Got Blot is a transparent powder (do not be scared that it is pure white) that is appropriate for every skin tone. The powder is lightweight and no matter how many times you need to dab it on, it won’t build up like a pancake. It contains “tea tree oil to help fight …read more

The one thing I hear most often when you have a newborn in your midst is, “You look so worn out.” Yes, only 2 hours of sleep a night will do that to you. Cheri at Urban Apothecary mentioned to me that a few sweeps of her Mineral Sheer Radiance across my face will perk my complexion up, basically hiding the fact that I was one sleep deprived momma.
My Mineral Sheer Radiance is in Dream, which is a pale pink in color. This is a product you apply as a finishing touch over your foundation or you can wear it …read more

On Urban Apothecary’s website, the description for the Mineral Sheer Tint uses the word “perfect” several times. I couldn’t agree more. This multi-mineral tinted foundation goes on smooth and leaves a beautiful dewy finish. The coverage is perfect and the foundation feels feather light.
I received mine in Natural Glow and it matched my skin tone perfectly. I’m wearing foundation without actually looking like I am wearing foundation. The Mineral Sheer Tint also has an SPF of 20, so its great knowing my skin is protected from the sun’s damaging rays (all the while looking like I have flawless skin).
A little …read more

This week sure has felt like an eternity and was quite a struggle. After Brody was born, I found that I was experiencing some pain that on a scale of 1-10, was an 11. I blew it off, as I absolutely hate doctors. However, by Friday I was to the point of sobbing and made my way to the doctors…who then sent me directly to the hospital for a 2 day stay on some heavy IV antibiotics.
I was a complete mess, as Brody couldn’t be with me in the hospital and the potent antibiotics meant no nursing. Depressed that …read more

Naturally, as a lip gloss addict, the first product from Urban Apothecary that I had to review was their Super Gloss. This super generous tube of gloss had my name written all over it when I spotted it in the box.
I received both Super Nectar and Super Charming. Super Nectar is a beautiful peach color and Super Charming is light pink. Each has this gorgeous shimmer to them, that combined with the glossiness, make your lips so shiny and look much like those print ads of models from other brands with high shine.
The fragrance is pomegranate, which I totally love. …read more
