Makeup and Beauty Blog Monday Poll, Aug. 31
Monday, August 31st, 2009
Mood: Hella hungry! I’ve been up since six and have yet to eat breakfast. Otherwise, just peachy. Do you believe in love at first sight? Lust at first sight, yes, but love, no. I think love comes after you discover things like his unlawfully long toenails and penchant for Celine Dion power ballads — and yet, you still think he’s tops. How long does it take for you to get ready in the morning? If I can mosey along and take my sweet ol’ time, up to two hours. Most days, though, I f

Monday, August 31st, 2009
Did you know that Ireland is one of Lancome’s biggest markets? Yup. It is, which means loads of Irish ladies make it their first port of call for skincare and makeup.This got me a-thinkin’. What other brands do you trust for makeup AND skincare? The separation seems to be obvious in a lot of cases: brands focus on what they’re good at and few score for care and colour.

AW09/10: Illamasqua Dystopia Collection
Sunday, August 30th, 2009
Incoming to BT2 Grafton Street on the 1st of September is Illamasqua’s Dystopia collection and if at first it’s pretty damn reminiscent of Aaron De Mey’s first foray for Lancome, it’s really only one palette (the Smokey Pink one on the left) that’s almost a dead ringer for his Pink Punk and Black palette from Spring/Summer 09.In fact, it really wouldn’t be fair at all to dismiss the collection as being like anything else, because shadow quads aside, there are several really stand-out products in

Top 8 Classic Beauty Products

Total Beauty recently published a collection of “8 Classic Beauty Products You Still Worship” . Some of my favorites are on the list including Noxema face wash. Two that wouldn’t have made my list are Vaseline- it’s fallen off my radar. I used to slather my feet with Vaseline until I heard about the possible skin darkening properties . And Chanel No. 5 just isn’t the right fragrance for me. I have two small bottles and just never wear it… plus it’s so dang expensive!! If I made the list I
