get prepared to go matte all night (or, in my case, all day!) long with metropolitan Decay’s new All Nighter water resistant Full-Coverage Concealer. Don’t go chasing waterfalls… That’s what I’m telling you, however if you’re going to do it anyway (despite TLC’s several warnings!), understand that you can stand beneath one using metropolitan Decay’s new concealer, as well as your makeup would emerge totally intact. It’s water resistant to the extreme, so keep your fave oil-based makeup cleaner handy, since you’ll requirement it to take this concealer off your face. ADVERTISEMENT 14 shades, $29 each, very waterproof! Extremely matte,...

When you’re well into your second decade of life, often you can’t help but look back at the cats, toddlers and humans you’ve known, the places you’ve been, the flowers you’ve sniffed, the collars you’ve rocked, and the makeup looks you’ve inspired. Call it a fall occupation retrospective, if you will. Tabs (and I) got a little emo today looking back at old pics from falls of yore. ADVERTISEMENT Fall has always been one of Tabs’ favorite times of year, and not just because the turkeys are plump and the lawn is extra green and tasty, but also because of...

Yay for Chanel Noir Pétrole waterproof Eye Liner! I’m also wearing the Chanel Codes Élégants quad on my eyes, Chanel Élégance Powder blush on my cheeks and hourglass girl Lip Stylo in Peacemaker Why, though? WHY? Why are so many of the best things limited edition? It’s lunacy, and it’s really annoying. Chanel Noir Pétrole eyeliner ($33) deserves a permanent position — like the Codes Subtils quad — because if you have brown eyes (and even if you don’t), it’s magic. ADVERTISEMENT Glossy, smoky perfection I recognize that it’s OTT to get this excited about eyeliners, seeing as there are...

BECCA Après Ski glow deal with combination on my cheeks as well as NARS Vibeke Lipstick If the believed of using a deal with product on your eyes freaks you out (apparently, it does not freak me out, ha!), don’t worry. The new $45 BECCA Après Ski glow Collection Eye Lights combination is officially an eye product…even though the “shadows” in it have nearly the exact same formula as the actual BECCA Shimmering Skin Perfector Powders. (Side note: am I the only one who already utilizes the BECCA Shimmering Skin Perfecting Powders as well as Bronzers as eyeshadows? just curious…)...

sometimes I wear this low-key style as an alternative to the messy bun I’ve been rocking for, oh, the last 1,456 years. LOL! It’s uncomplicated and quick, and you can make it as purposefully messy or neat as you want (always good to have options!). Oh, and you can do it in less than 10 minutes. ADVERTISEMENT It’s also great for when you’re two (or, let’s be real, three) days into your blowout, and you want to skip washing your hair one more day but can’t bear the thought of wearing it down. Note: You can still do this style...

So…what is the Monday Poll? Well, it isn’t precisely a poll. It’s a lot more of a regularly evolving (devolving?), somewhat random listing of concerns I’ve been putting out to visitors every Monday morning for the past 11 (!) years. (It’s like a kickstart for your brain.) I’ve always took pleasure in reading your answers in the comments, as well as I hope you take pleasure in reading mine. 1. would you rather wear a ballgown or a tuxedo? Depending on what I’d be doing, I might see myself using either, however I’d rather wear a ballgown. Ballgowns are quite...

Tabs had no idea he was being watched/stalked this morning on his walk. As he was surveying his domain and taste-testing the foliage, the neighbor’s Shih Tzu was viewing the watcher. Tabs had no idea that he was the one who was actually under surveillance. It was kind of embarrassing. ADVERTISEMENT Lots of interesting things in the circle this morning, notwithstanding the canine that caught Tabs completely unawares. Highlights included a huge grasshopper, a number of fragrant shrubs, a very bold crow and two very feisty male turkeys. The early mornings are the best times to take a tabby on...
