My Eyeshadow Obsession

I am a makeup junkie (which is a polite term for makeup hoarder), and tend to hold onto everything, so I've got a lot of products I dip into every now and then but last way past their expiration date because they're used so infrequently. However, I reach for Laura Mercier's Caviar Sticks so often I find myself having to buy new ones all the time. They're so fast and easy - color on your eye like a crayon, blend it with your finger and you're good to go. And it lasts all day (even through sweat sessions at the gym, or a day at the beach. I know this because I wear makeup to the gym and the beach.) I've been thinking these will be even more precious to me when I'm a mom eventually, because it's so quick to apply and from what I understand, new moms don't have a ton of time to do makeup every AM. I discovered them when my mom gave me a gift set for Christmas a few years ago with a small stick of every color, so I've tried them all (and love them all), but here are the three in my daily rotation...View Article

One of my goals in life is to be able to leave the house without make-up and not have someone say one of the following: 1) "Rough night?" 2) "You look so tired!" 3) "Are you sick?" For as long as I can remember, I've had giant bags under my eyes that don't seem to go away no matter what I do. I think it stems from mentally and emotionally abusing myself if I didn't always get A's in school, and now the adult equivalent of getting A's (like, having a steady and respectable job...) I used to stay up all night studying, and still cut sleep short to get work done or go on the elliptical machine. (My mom thinks my poor sleep stems from my sleeping with my dogs spooning my head, but I disagree.) So, I'm always on the lookout for an eye cream that might work miracles, and this one is my favorite so far. View Article

I'm a total beauty product junkie, and my favorite part about receiving a package from Sephora in the mail isn't the product I actually ordered... It's the samples. Maybe it's my Grandpa Gil's genes (he used to sneak butter dishes out of restaurants to use them for cat food), but nothing gives me a rush like snagging something awesome for free. And beauty products are so expensive these days; I feel like such a chump when I buy something I read was amazing, and it's a let down. Plus, once I find something I like, I stick to it (like that pink dress I wore every day for a year when I was a kid). So, samples are a commitment-free way to test drive something new. And this lipstick, which I discovered through a sample, is my new go-to...View Article
