Review: Cinema Secrets Brush Cleaner

So, it’s about time that I updated my blog with some info and reviews on my purchases from IMATS last month!!!
I was lucky enough to have The Man accompanying me on this trip. We got a better deal coming in on Saturday and leaving on Monday.  So, I missed a bit of the fun [...]

Perricone MD – No Foundation Foundation

So, I picked up the No Foundation Foundation at Sephora a few weeks back. I actually HAD NOT encountered any of the hype regarding this product, but simply found it while browsing the Perricone product shelves. I’ve been rereading Dr. Perricone’s book – The Perricone Prescription recently (and eating lots of salmon!!).  So, [...]

rae® Cosmetics Climate Control Mineral Tint SPF 20

It seems like 2-3 years ago…I fell asleep on the couch with the TV on.  I was awakened from a dead sleep by News 8 Austin (the local 24 hour news station) and the story of Rochelle Rae and her line of mineral makeup.  I suppose my subconscious was saying “Hey!  Hey!  WAKE UP!!!  Here [...]

megan fox inspired makeup

I couldn’t find the exact picture I saw in a magazine, but this one is pretty close.  It seems that Megan Fox has appeared here and there lately.  She’s been sporting this eye catching bronze glow and well defined eyes (golds, bronzes, touches of orange and warmth).  I thought I’d do my own interpretation.

Here’s [...]

photography considerations for wedding makeup

Some of you may have seen my tweet from last night about attending a MAC pro class on bridal makeup.
We went over some really interesting looks and thoughts.  I’m THINKING about doing a series of bridal makeup related posts actually (the class gave me a lot of ideas.)
One thing I really took note of – [...]

Decléor Aroma Pureté Matt Finish Skin Fluid

In my spa, we use Decléor products – a French skincare line that focuses on the science of aromatherapy (especially the use of essential oils in skincare).  I’ve gotten totally hooked on the Aroma Pureté Matt Finish Skin Fluid.  It’s a daily moisturizer that is specifically targeted to combination/oily skin.  The drawback of a lot [...]

Bobbi Brown Creamy Lip Color

Last week, I indulged in the 25% off sale on Bobbi’s web site.  I also indulged on the BBU palette (more on that later).  I snagged Bobbi’s Creamy Lip Color in Blue Raspberry.  I’m loving the Creamy Lip Color formula!!  I already had one in Nude Pink, and it’s a definite barely there nude.  Blue [...]
