Beauty 101

September 30

I’m going to make this quick, because smoky eye tutorials never are. Even the simplest seem to be at least six steps long and require more products than the average girl possesses. It all started with this video by Pixi Beauty makeup artist Amanda Bell, in which she starts smoking out the model’s eyes with this [...]

I don’t understand why people are snooty about outlet shopping. Why pay more for the same product if you can go somewhere else and get it for less?

Makeover

September 16

Good morning, lovelies! I was up way too late making some much-needed tweaks to the site, and it’s still not perfect.

Batiste Not all dry shampoos are created equal. This old-school British brand cuts through greasy roots and lifts limp locks like no other. I even use it when my clean hair needs a boost. And why not? It’s $8 a can!
