When I got my first FabFitFun box last year I was so excited I thought I might explode. It’s more expensive than any of the other subscriptions I had tried and I was concerned that it wouldn’t actually be worth the price. I’ve received four more boxes, and while I’ve been happier with some boxes…
A couple weeks ago I received an email from Beautylish about a new release from Sulwhasoo. I was vaguely aware of the brand; I know it’s a Korean prestige brand that has skincare and some makeup. It’a really bougie and totally out of my price range for skin care, so I’ve never really paid attention…
‘Tis the season for making resolutions. For me, sticking to resolutions has almost always been impossible. They’re unattainable goals, like “This year I’m going to get my life together.” What does that even mean? Inevitably I get overwhelmed or discouraged with these huge, lofty goals and two weeks into the year I just give up…
Morphe is releasing a foundation later this month. In 60 shades. SIXTY. SHADES. OF FOUNDATION. They’re calling it Fluidity Foundation and it’s supposed to be matte and full coverage with 24-hour transfer and water resistant wear for all skin types. And it’s $18. Um. Wut. I don’t understand. Am I dreaming? This is like everything…
Read more I missed a pretty important piece of news yesterday
I know that I don’t talk about news on the daily and that there are plenty of other ways to get your beauty news (like maybe the YouTube channel Beauty News, which I love. Those Aussie ladies are my homegirls), but in the last 24 hours there have been some stories that I found interesting…
Am I too late in the Christmas season to talk about products I don’t want? Yes? Oh well, you’re getting another anti-haul anyway. I know that I talked about some inexpensive products in my Ulta anti-haul, but there’s more drugstore stuff that’s been released that I feel personally victimized by. Mostly because they’re pointless, gimmicky…
If you’re anything like me and mildly obsessed with Asian beauty products, you’re likely also always concerned about what’s actually in the stuff you’re slathering all over your face. Enter Allure to confirm our worst fears: apparently dangerous levels of mercury have been found in skincare products being sold on Amazon and eBay. Lovely. According…
I’ve been home from my most recent round of travels for a few days and I’m already packing to leave town again. This time I’m going home for the holidays; Christmas is something I look forward to all year, but Dan has to come back to Albany before the actual holiday and that sucks. Anyway,…
Here we go again: another anti-haul! Today we’re looking at Sephora, and there’s a lot to rag on here so let’s get right to it. Sol de Janeiro Bum Bum Carnaval Extravaganza Beauty influencers everywhere are weeping that this made someone’s anti-haul, but I really don’t get why it’s so universally loved. It’s supposed to…
Now that Black Friday and Cyber Monday are over I think we’ve reached critical mass when it comes to holiday releases. While I did make a few purchases during the sales (mostly gifts for other people, I swear!), there’s a metric fuckton of things I won’t be purchasing because I couldn’t possibly care less. This…
