She’s A Stainiac, Staaaaaaiiniac

My friend Angela and I both received samples of Stainiac Cheek & Lip Tint (by The Balm) in our June Birchboxes. Before I had even tried mine, Angela was addicted to hers and raving about it, so I figured I should GET ON IT. I have an imaginary reputation to uphold! 

Mask Masque

My husband was working late (again!) so I figured it was the perfect time to try the new Masqueology  Pore Minimizing Masque I got in my June Birchbox. This plan usually backfires, and my husband ends up coming home mid-masque, then makes some HILARIOUS comment, but I keep doing it anyway.

Make A Wish

The first time I brushed on Benefit's Dandelion,I thought it was the palest, softest pink blush ever. Fitting for something called Dandelion, it’s barely a whisper of color, but a few more swipes made it more evident. It was pretty and natural looking, but I wondered how many people were fair enough for the palest pink blush I had ever seen.

Spring Cleaning: Done!

Just in time for the first day of summer, I finished Spring Cleaning my makeup cabinet. It had been… awhile. I think I skipped doing it last year due to some health b.s., and I had an embarrassing number of expired products.

Less-Fair, Less-Hair.

Last weekend I went to a wedding in Pennsylvania, and my mother-in-law asked how I managed to have a tan already. The answer, of course, is self-tanner. Gradual self-tanner, to be precise, because it is so much easier and less stressful to use than the stuff that makes you tan all at once, though I occasionally do that too. You might have heard me mention it before.
