Frugal Snob: Almay Oil-Free Makeup Eraser Sticks

It’s not that I’ve never seen something like these just launched Almay Oil-Free Makeup Eraser Sticks before, it’s that I’ve never seen them at such an awesome price. At just $5.50 they’re about 1/3 of the price of ModelCo’s Eye Liquid Buds and just as effective.

L’Occitane Launches New Skincare and Makeup Range

I recently stopped by the Soho L’Occitane store to check-out their new makeup range and skincare line.

Revlon Fantasy Lengths Self Adhesive Eyelashes

I bought these in a bind this weekend – Tina and I had a photoshoot and I forgot my lashes! I ran in to CVS and thought, “Perfect, self adhesive!”.
