Heya, ladies. Have you picked up any goodies from MAC Liberty of London? If you haven’t considered the Beauty Powder in Shell Pearl ($25), here are a few ways I like to use it (click here to see the video).
Enjoy the rest of your Friday night, and I’ll catch up with you soon.
Last night El Hub brought home some mini-cupcakes from a bakery he passes on his way home from work. They were red velvet, lemon and chocolate, and THIS is how I felt when I opened the box:
Frickin’ sweet tooth’s always getting in the way of the whole eating better thing, grrr!
I managed to exercise enough restraint (shocking!) to save two of ‘em for, um, my breakfast today, but I think the sugar messed with my brain. All I could think of was cupcake-inspired makeup looks, which lead to this pink attempt with a dash of purple.
Wearing Make Up For Ever’s HD Microfinish Blush in Quickie
It’s ridonkulous how much time I spend trying to get a “no makeup” makeup look. Sometimes I’ll end up spending more time on something subtle with natural looking blushes, lipsticks and whatnot than it takes to do something bolder like a cat eye with pink glossy lips!

Olympic athletes train hard to reach the games, and for some, like US speed skater Allison Baver, there are times when the goal seems out of reach. After shattering her leg in a race last year (she collided with teammate Katherine Reutter), Allison underwent intensive rehab to make it to Vancouver, where she and her speed skating teammates earned a Bronze Medal in the 3000m relay.
I chatted with her this morning and learned that she’s not just a bad-ass on the ice. Allison also loves makeup! And she’s a total girly girl. She credits her positive attitude with helping her stay focused and shared a few of her favorite makeup and beauty tips. Continue Reading…
It was like being struck by lightning, twice!
