Lipstick Queen Saint Lipstick: Fit for a Queen, Priced for a Pauper
Remember the Clé de Peau lipstick I obsessed about and spent $53 on? (Yes, I knew the price was totally absurd, but that didn’t make wearing it any less of a wonderfully sheer moisturizing lipstick experience! Well, maybe a little less). Good news for snobs who aren’t just plain careless with cash! I have found … Continue reading “Lipstick Queen Saint Lipstick: Fit for a Queen, Priced for a Pauper”
Topshop Smoke & Mirrors Collection: That Seventies Show
Since its release last year, Topshop has garnered surprisingly positive attention, as well as a cult following, for their high-value makeup line.

They just released a range of eight new lip colors in a perfectly … Continue reading “Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet Matte Lip Color: Rule With a Velvet Mouth”

My boyfriend and his friends are really into it so there’s … Continue reading “Halloween Beauty Buys from Philosophy”
Frugal Snob: Killer Holiday Deals from LORAC
Last week I met LORAC founder Carol Shaw (she’s beyond sweet!), at a small event held at a hotel here in NYC. She told me an a handful of other bloggers about how when she was younger she felt like an “ugly duckling” and that a makeover changed her life; she actually began to tear-up … Continue reading “Frugal Snob: Killer Holiday Deals from LORAC”
