I did not have high hopes for NYC Color Wheel Mosaic Eye Powder in Brown Eyed Girl. Luckily, I was wrong. The color wheel (pictured in Beyond the Sea) is a mix of 4 colors divided into 6 different sections in a 2 inch diameter circle. The idea is to use them together to make one color, but I like to use each color separately to make a complete eye look. If you do attempt to use it as one color,

Sally Hansen, a brand I've only tried for their hair removers, came out with a new makeup line inspired by Carmindy, the makeup artist on TLC's What Not To Wear. After hearing good things about the foundation, I decided to buy it along with the face primer (they were buy one get one 50% off at Ulta).

I was so excited when I finally tracked down Wet n Wild's Beauty Benefits line. I have heard about it before and wanted to try out some of their products. The products were more expensive than Wet n Wild usually is, products in this line ran about $5-$9 on average. The blushes I was looking at were around $7 each! They were pretty, but not $7 for Wet n Wild pretty. Maybe if it goes on sale...

Luckily I was able to pick glycerin and jojoba oil and try them out in my beauty routine.Glycerin: The hardest part about dealing with this liquid is finding it. I found mine at a Rite Aid, but I'm sure there are some available online or at select local drugstores*. It is usually found in the

Recently I reviewed the book Eye Candy by Linda Mason and found this great Cleopatra Inspired eye. I decided to do my own take of the look, with different colors, different textures, and a little different lower lid. It is over the top, yes, but fun. Here is how to get my Linda Mason Cleopatra inspired eye.Start by applying a base all over the eye area, from lash line to browbone and a little

I just discovered a cheap lipstick that I absolutely love. It is Wet n Wild's Wild Shine Lip Lacquer. The lipstick is moist and not drying at all like some cheaper lipsticks. They have a shine to them, though not glass-like like some lip glosses. The best part is the colors are gorgeous. You can see for yourself swatches of the 4 I have (sloppily applied) below. The colors don't go on too thick,

I love/hate it when products are discontinued. I love it because they are offered at ridiculously cheap prices, but I hate it because the product will be gone forever. I especially hate that Urban Decay Lip Gunk is on its way out, but for those of you who want to try it, they have two types up for only $6! Almost all of Urban Decay''s discontinued items are 50% off right now, while supplies last,

In this tutorial I will show you how to get a light, fresh spring pink eye, perfect when you want some color but do not want to overdo it. You will need the i-sparkle quad in Starlight and any base, mascara, and eyeliner of your choice.First, apply your eyeshadow base from your lash line to your brow bone, and on your lower lid.
