MAC Shadestick: A Shady Character
I worship the convenience of eyeshadow in the form of a stick – just one tool and no fussing with a brush. The downside? Precision and blending. When using stick-shadows, you’ve got to take a more laid-back, rougher edged, and hands-on approach. The creamy texture of MAC‘s Shadestick is quite nice, but it is harder … Continue reading “MAC Shadestick: A Shady Character”

So I love using La Prairie shadows. They look beautiful and have that extra benefit of … Continue reading “La Prairie Cellular Treatment Eye Colour Ensemble: The Eyes Have It”
Elizabeth Arden’s Spring/Summer 2011 Launches

Maybe it’s because growing up I often passed their Red Door Spa, which looked so glam to me as a kid, but in my head they’re way more luxurious than their prices would suggest.
