I got an email a little over an hour ago. Cue freakout. Navigating to the Haus Laboratories site shows a countdown clock and the same image of Lady Gaga as the one in the email. Click her gorgeous face, and you’ll be watching a promotional video in which people of various races and genders dance…
I’ve been acquiring an almost troubling number of foundations recently. Not intentionally of course, but companies just keep releasing things I’m interested in. I’m still searching for that holy grail, ride or die product, so when there are new releases that catch my eye, I can’t help thinking, “This could be the one.” Of course,…
I intended to post a review of the new Maybelline foundation tonight. I even have wear test photos. I was so excited that I was getting it together for this month. Then I looked at the clock. Work ran later than I planned, and I have a four-hour journey into the wilderness tomorrow, and many…
We just got back to Albany after spending the weekend in Rochester. We went to our oldest niece’s high school graduation and had lots of family time. It was lovely. I tried some new stuff while I was gone. Reviews are imminent. And tomorrow is July 1st. I don’t know where the time is disappearing…
Holy crap, I’m so happy to be done with this product. I received the mini size in a subscription box (likely Boxycharm) last year, and I’ve been using it pretty consistently since, and it seemed to go on forever. Unfortunately for me, since I really don’t like it. I’ve mentioned before that I love cleansing…

I haven’t mentioned my “smart buy” in a while, but this year I’ve tried really hard to be more particular about the things I purchase. It hasn’t always worked. I’m not immune to hype; I am a human who loves beauty products, after all. Unfortunately for me, a lot of the things I’ve purchased because…
It’s June! That means Pride month and rainbows for everyone! But really it’s a lot more than that, like the recognition of those who’ve fought and literally died for the right to live authentically and love openly. Stonewall was 50 years ago, and sometimes that’s forgotten in the haze of glitter and balloons and drag…

Ok, I really have no intention of turning this into a primarily beauty news blog, and I’m working on other content, but my friend Becky sent me a link to this collection this morning and I had to share it. View this post on Instagram INC.REDIBLE X BADDIE HAS DROPPED 💕🌈✨ Say hey to 3…
Man, it seems like we (meaning people in the beauty community) can’t go more than a couple months without someone with a massive following acting like a huge douchenozzle. This time, it’s James Charles. If you don’t know who this kid is, good on you. I wish I didn’t. He’s a vlogger, makeup artist, model,…

I don’t mean like, early in the day. I’m talking about my age: 36 is way too early for a mid-life crisis, right? Also, I kind of feel like I just did this. When I turned 30 I had a major existential crisis, complete with “What am I doing with my life?!” freakout. I can’t…
I really intended to post something cheesy about how it’s gonna be May, but then the beginning of May passed me by. I feel like the last few months have been in fast forward. There’s been a lot going on in my life, personally and professionally, and my little passion project fell by the wayside…

I’ve mentioned before how much I hate when brands release the same shit over and over again. It’s like they get so comfortable with their best-selling products that they don’t try anymore. One of the best examples is Benefit with their brow and cheek products, and Nars with their Orgasm blush and Laguna bronzer. Well,…
HOLY HELL WHY DO PRODUCT NAMES NEED TO BE SO LONG. Ahem. Anyway. Around Christmas, I purchased the Perfect Skin Bundle from this company that includes the Exfoliating Treatment and the Porefining Face Mask. It was on sale so I got both pieces for $55, which is still INSANE, to be clear, but at the time…
