Beauty Snacks: Sites of the Day, August 16

August 16th, 2008 by Karen 8 Comments

Sparkle*Shelf — Beauty and Fashion Addicts Unite
Say hi to Sparkle*Shelf, a new online community focused on beauty and fashion, featuring original editorial content and user generated product reviews, Q&A, photos and more. So, what sets Sparkle*Shelf apart from other be-everything beauty sites out there today? For me it’s the design. I like it when posts read like magazine articles.

Contrariwise: Literary Tattoos
Can I just say WOW!? I can appreciate a touching lyric tattooed on a wrist, but 12 sentences from Fight Club plastering someone’s back might be taking the quotable tattoo trend a little too far, LOL!

Grooveeffect — Urban Style, Streetwear, Music, and Events
Grooveeffect is an urban culture e-zine dedicated to curating the best in emerging style, music and events. Sadly, my break dancing days are behind me (bum knee, yo), but I still like to see what the sneaker heads, clubbers and hardcore hip-hop heads are up to.

Stuff On My Cat: Stuff + Cats = Awesome
Seriously, the name says it all. 🙂 The person who came up with the idea for this site is an unadulterated genius. GENIUS! Click the link; you won’t regret it.


Petroville
Kimberly is just an interesting person. Her blog is 1 part beauty blog, 1 part mommy blog and 2 parts wacky. “When I’m not tending to my lovely flam damn fam or the dream house,” she says of herself, “I am a Jazzercise instructor, lover of mulch as well as red wine and consider myself a stellar party thrower. I also spend entirely too much time in the barn with OPP (other people’s ponies).”

Happy Saturday!

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    Thank you so much for the Literary Tattoos site! I looked at every one, and am in love! The only “word” tattoo I have at this point is “nonviolence” in sanskrit (on my left wrist) but I’ve always wanted a poem tattooed on me… I feel more inspired now!

    Hi Laney,

    You’re welcome! Some of them are really great, huh? Seems like there are a lot of people walking around with tattoos from The Giving Tree.

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
