How to be a Girly Girl: La Vie La Mort →
It’s very hard to write anything about perfume, I guess I’m used to describing the way things look, or I can always add a picture, but since there are now scratch and sniff screens just yet, I’ll just have to do my best.
One of the things I got very excited about last Black Friday was the Sephora

Cheap Thrills - Revlon Siren →
Remember my Post from the other day about 4 things I got for $1 each? So I decided to review each to see if they were worth the spontaneous waste of a little money and the not-so-attentive thrill of the moment.
The first thing I tried was Revlon Siren, a lipstick that, in the tube…
How to be a Girly Girl: E.L.F - the good, the bad... →
howtobeagirlygirl:
I’ve mentioned before how much I love E.L.F, there are 2 main reasons. The first is no animal testing and no connection to some mother company that does animal testing (I should be more aware of that, and I’m not, but it’s nice o know that some of what I buy is Cruelty free).
The second is…
2012 favorites - Nails edition →
This was a big nail year for me. I stopped chewing my nails and started actually caring what they looked like. Since I do work with my hands, I don’t expect anything too fancy from then, my fingers are my main tool-of-trade, and nails need to be kept short and functional. However, I do try to…
The Right Red →
As anybody who ever had a hobby that involved shopping knows, there are 2 types of shopping sprees - one is the educated spree, you research something, think about it, read about it and then go out and buy it and then there are the comfort sprees, you had a bad day, or you are feeling fat or…

Soft Awakening →
Early morning shoot, getting up about an hour to late - main concern is looking more awake then I feel. And so, my favorite look of the moment which include heavy black eyeliner is out of the question.
The main work was done with concealer and corrector and mineral foundation. But to add a…
Love at first touch →
How does one knows one is in love?!
There are lots of answers to this question when it comes to people, but when it come to product, I have a very simple method. I stop using it almost entirely because I’m scared it’s going to run out.
This happened to me with the new Julep hand and…

2012 favorites - Lips edition →
My beauty idol for the year is for sure Michelle Harper. It’s not the hair (which is great) the innovative sense of style (which I adore), or what looks like the coolest life imagined. It is, those amazing mat perfect red lips.
I really want to have those all the time. Sadly, I’m not so…

2012 favorites - eyes edition →
Since I really just started wearing (and buying) makeup this year, I guess those can also be called “all time favorites”, however, since I do have a commitment issue as far as makeup goes, I’ll call it the 2012 most used eye products.
Wet & wild comfort zone pallet I’ve got a massive amount…

Out with the Old →
I’m pretty sad to see Burt’s Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle creme go. Usually toward the end of anything I’m so over it I can’t wait to toss it out, but this is different.
Bought on a total whim, at the grocery store no less, while heading to get my husband some cigarettes and being upset with…

Thank you Daphne...
No not Daphne Guinness, but Daphne 2150 from Julep.
You have given me the nicest paint job I ever manage to give myself, I love your thin but surprisingly opaque consistency and your skinny easy to maneuver brush. But more then everything, I love your color.
A little grayer and darker then China Glaze For Audrey. A color that’s somewhere between sea foam and teal. Really sophisticated without...
Julep Maven Box →
A lot of people who’s blog I follow get Glossybox or one of the other sample boxes services. I love reading about what people got every month and know whether they were happy or not, to me reading about it is just as exciting as getting a box myself.
Or maybe, more exciting. The more I…
TokyoMilk →
Up until a couple of months ago, I really hated perfume. I like the idea of bodies smelling the way they are, and I really hate that lingering smell of perfume when a person leaves a room. Add to that, the fact that every time I thought I found something that smells lovely and fresh, it turned…
How to be a Girly Girl: Out with the Old →
howtobeagirlygirl:
A little while ago, I decided not to buy anymore makeup or cosmetics till I finished at least 10 products. Stressing about the notion of no shopping, I bought on the same day hand cream, body lotion and 3 lip balms (which was a gift to my sister). Then it was black friday and I just had to get…
How to be a Girly Girl: Custom Kicks →
howtobeagirlygirl:
I get it that companies want to be creative with naming their nail polish, but I wish something in the name would at least hint on what the color is.
This is my first experience with China Glaze polish. A couple of blogs mentioned the polish as great and pretty, and though the low price…
