A Really Handy Makeup Tool

February 26th, 2009 by Karen 23 Comments

Before I leave the house I go through my internal checklist — lipgloss: check, camera: check, sarcasm: CHECK!

It keeps me from forgetting things, but there’s one thing I never have to remind myself to bring. Click here for the video. 🙂

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

P.S. Ooh! I can’t wait for America’s Best Dance Crew tonight. Let’s go, Beat Freaks, let’s go!

      Hi Audrey,

      Me too! Those girls are so bad a$$.

      I wish I could be a b-girl! It’s sooo never gonna happen, though. I can’t do floor work to save my life.

    gaaah….u made a bad sign!
    “The V sign, when the palm is facing toward the person giving the sign, has long been an insulting gesture in England,[4] and later in the rest of the United Kingdom; its use is largely restricted to the UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand.[5] It is frequently used to signify defiance (especially to authority), contempt or derision”

      Hi Lise,

      Here in the US it’s a version of “peace.” You can flash it to your homies before you say goodbye to them!

      Hi Stephie,

      I learned that from a Chanel artist! It really makes blush pop. Just be sure to blend away any lines of color when you’re done. 🙂

      Hi Mel,

      🙂 It’s super easy! If you’re in a cheeky mood (ha!) then it’s a nice way to add a lil’ pop to your blush.

      Happy Friday!

    Yes fingers rule, I like to use my finger to apply gold or shimmery light colors to the inner corners of my eye. You and Alex are hilarious, you guys must have funny parents!

    OMG, I’m LMAO right now! You are so cute! When I started wearing makeup, I applied e/s with my fingers and that was a long long time ago! Now I’m a brush snob but still apply paint pot with my fingers. No brushes beat the fingers with it comes to paint pots 🙂
