Just a quick check in before El Hub and I head down to the city for an early dinner. I thought it was gonna be sunnier today (like it was yesterday), but at least it isn’t raining. What’s shakin’ out your way?

Gah! Dr. Frankenbeauty is at it again, ladies. She’s combining the best traits of multiple makeup products to create … SUPER SOLDIER MAKEUP PRODUCTS!

These beauty hybrids combine the best of two different worlds. Just think — a lipstick with the texture of Chanel Rouge Coco and the price of Wet ‘n’ Wild ($1.99). Mwahahahahaa!

To play the Dr. Frankenbeauty game, think of one of your holy grail makeup favorites and what you could combine it with to make it even better. Then share your creation in the comments. :)

Ladies, it’s time to spring into action and show winter the door (so long, farewell, auf wiedersehen goodbye!). Next up, spring and summer. :)

I’ve already started planning some trips to take advantage of the season. Nothing big — maybe a day trip around the Bay Area and a weekend jaunt up to Lake Tahoe — and one thing I pride myself on when it comes to road trips is being the girl you can count on to bring the snacks, the upbeat music, the GPS (did I mention I have no sense of direction?) and the makeup. If we were road tripping together, most def’ I’d bring along something from the new MAC Art Supplies collection, as it’s one of the most road trip-friendly MAC releases I’ve seen in a long time.


For reference, I’m an NC 35. From left: Greasepaint Sticks in Greengrease, Zinc Zone, Slick Black, Dirty

Arriving April 1, the 24-piece bonanza bursts with great-looking on-the-go goodies in pencil and pen form. MAC had self-portraiture in mind when they envisioned the collection, a theme I can really get behind. Aren’t our faces, after all, the canvases upon which we express our own makeup art? Duuuude, that’s kinda poetic, methinks. :)


Greasepaint Sticks in Brown Now, Below Ground, Uniformly Blue

The fact that each item in the collection fits in a pocket is like icing on a cake. The Greasepaint Sticks ($17.50), Pearlglide Intense Eyeliners ($14.50) and Pro Longwear Lipstain Markers ($16) make it uber-easy to get ready in a rush.

MBBTV #6: Addicted to Dior for Summer 2010

Fri, 03/19/2010 by Karen | Posted in: Makeup, Video


It’s dreadfully pricey, but there are things I really like about Dior’s summer 2010 stuff, particularly the Crush Glow palette and pseudo-luggage tags.

Those tags hella make me wanna shoop…

P.S. I’m thinking about also keeping videos on Vimeo because I love their site (but I HOPE they stop charging for HD). You can also click one of these big buttons to watch on either site…
