wearing La Prairie Anti-Aging Hydra Tint Sunscreen SPF 20 sheer tinted moisturizer in shade 30 To put it in perspective, a bottle of La Prairie Anti-Aging Hydra Tint SPF 20 sheer tinted moisturizer costs about as much as Choupette Lagerfeld spends daily on gravy.

Performing Tonight, Karen and the Tartelettes, With the new 12-Pan Tarte Tartelette Eyeshadow palette for spring

The $44 Tarte Tartelette Palette When you hear the word “tartelette” do you think of tiny, tasty tarts? Because I do. ADVERTISEMENT And I don’t just think of one of them. I think of dozens of them in different flavors, but I don’t think that’s awfully unusual. I mean, who’s going to eat just one tart, right? crazy PEOPLE, that’s who. I would eat five or six of them and just rapid fire toss them into my mouth without even taking a breath, because that’s how I roll… The term, “Tartelette,” as I’m unsuccessfully trying to use it here, is...

The new NARS Lipglosses in the Laced With edge holiday collection ($26 each) To quote the excellent Elvis Presley, “Lord Almighty, I feel my temperature risin’!” Could it be? — Burning Love? A NARS Lipgloss named after my preferred Elvis song, ever? ADVERTISEMENT BURNING LOVE! Something tells me The King may not be edgy sufficient (anymore) to get his own too-cool-for-school NARS reference, however a woman can dream… I want to believe that The King’s rhinestone-encrusted jumpsuits played a part in this shimmer. ADVERTISEMENT Burning Love, a bright ruby with subtle shimmer, is one of three new $26 Lipglosses in...

Are You into the limited edition makeup Chase?

The MAC Alluring Aquatic collection… I love THIS PACKAGING! I am, but maybe not as feverishly as I once was. I still love keeping up with what’s new, what’s coming out and seeing, you know, if my favorite colors are being re-released, like if Chanel ever re-released Jade? — oh, my gawd! Swoon city. I would go buck-freaking-wild and be that crazy person who called the counter and said, “COULD YOU PLEASE set aside four bottles FOR ME thank YOU!!” ADVERTISEMENT But to be honest, you kind of get a feel for these things after you’ve followed them for a...

Dastardly Dilemmas: You Can only have One face product (A particular Blush, Bronzer, Foundation, tinted Moisturizer, BB Cream, Etc.) for...

Oh, the humanity! I don’t know what sinister force keeps making me come up with these cruel, twisted beauty scenarios, but I’m sorry. ADVERTISEMENT For my answer, I want to say MAC face & Body, because I’ve used it for years, I love the dewy finish, and I can count on that it won’t give me breakouts or scoot and slide around once it’s on, but… This is so twisted! As much as it would pain me to forsake foundation (and it would pain me), I am non-functional and Halloween costume-caliber frightening if I don’t have at least a hint...

Get lazy Waves in a minute With Shu Uemura Art of Hair structure Wave dry completing Spray

Apparently, I can no longer be bothered to spend much more than 60 seconds doing my hair since I have bigger, badder, much more ferocious charm fires to put out, like FREAKING BLACK feline eyeliner THAT IS THE BANE OF MY EXISTENCE. This morning was rough, man. I couldn’t get the outer wings to line up evenly (for my makeup here), as well as then the liner just kept getting thicker as well as thicker… *shakes head* ADVERTISEMENT Silly me for thinking, “Oh, this will only take five minutes.” And don’t even get me started on the red lipstick. I...

Does Guerlain eyebrow Pencil in 1 Brun suitable provide great Brow?

As far as high end/highfalutin eyebrow pencils are concerned, I think the ones by Tom Ford as well as hourglass are the ones to beat. Today I thought Guerlain’s eyebrow Pencil in Brun suitable ($31) may join those two, as well as it probably would have if I’d been able to discover more colors. ADVERTISEMENT So far, I’ve only discovered one — 1 Brun suitable — a light grayish brown, which, yeah, looks a little funky-town in my dark brows. I think my skin tone brings out the purple in Brun Ideal, which makes the inner part of my brows...

Makeup and charm blog Monday Poll, Vol. 337

You might be wondering, “So what in tarnation is this Monday Poll thing anyway!?” Well, it isn’t exactly a poll. It’s much more of a continuously evolving (devolving?), somewhat random list of questions I’ve been putting out to readers every Monday morning for the past seven years. (It’s like a kickstart for your brain.) I’ve always delighted in reading your answers in the comments, and I hope you delight in reading mine. Super skinny ’90-style brows: love ’em or leave ’em? OMG, I just can’t. I rocked them for many, numerous years, and I thought they were pretty terrific at...

How Do You like to wear Your Ponytail?

Rockin’ a classic ponytail while walking Sir Tabs (I think this was last spring…or three hairstyles ago) It depends on the situation, like, if I’m doing one for straight-up comfort, like to go running, then I’ll go with the classic pony — pulled back, with the height in the middle of my head toward the back, roughly above my ears. It’s the old efficient standby that gets the hair off my face and, when my hair extends past my shoulders, keeps it from whipping into my grill…which gets really bothersome after a few miles. ADVERTISEMENT If there’s one thing I’ve...
