Influenced by the hype, I jumped into the EOS lip balm bandwagon. EOS breaks the mold and comes up with quirky lip balms in twist-off egg-shaped packaging. I bought one because the product was an eye candy. What’s the correlation between egg and lip balm? …

Liquid foundation is a must-have in my makeup routine. CoverGirl natureluxe looked like a good product, but I wasn’t quite as happy with the price tag. It is a little more expensive than I like for a foundation. I had a coupon, so I purchased the …

Orange is Gamma. That’s the easiest way to put this color of nail polish. Another way would be that Illamasqua is an excellent nail polish. I’m lusting for all of their shades, but I’ve had a good start with Gamma.
I’m really doting Illamasqua varnishes right now, …
