I got a wild hair up my butt to go grab a few drugstore mascaras and put them against each other. I picked up four mascaras total, but we're gonna focus on Maybelline's "The Falsies" and Rimmel's "The Max". Two products promising the same thing: to volumize your lashes. But which one delivers?

It's been a long time since I've done a Pink on Brown lip. I'd say about 70% of my lipsticks are in the pink family, so finding a pink to use for this series isn't exactly hard. My problem is that I can never make up my mind which pink I wanna do next, knowing that I'm gonna eventually go thru them all. Terrible. So here's a pink that I adore from MAC called Lickable (cremesheen). It's a pretty blue-based cool pink, with lots of shiny agents thrown in for good measure.

Happy Mother's Day to all you wonderful mothers out there! Especially to my own mom, who is probably the silliest woman I know...and where I get my everything from. She taught me how to cook, how to live and how to love. A phenomenal 52 year old powerhouse who acts 25 and appreciates the present moment while living each day is if it were her last. I couldn't ask for a better mom. I know she's probably reading this, so I love you mom! Hope you cook soon...I'm hungry! So now that all of that mushy stuff is out of the way, it's Pink on Brown time! Cue the cheesy 70's style game show music :|

It's 6:54pm on a Saturday night and I'm up writing about setting powders. Why? Because I'm lookin out for those of you who have no clue as to what they even are. See? I got you, boo -- I'm lookin out for you! Also because...I don't have anything else to do and I actually have the time. I have been forced to neglect my own brand new beauty blog because of work (which I'm sure will happen again soon). I figured since I have a few extra hours I can bang out a few important posts for you all :)

Who doesn't love juicy kissable hot pink lips? MAC's Girl About Town lipstick ($14 - Amplified) is a favorite in my collection because it's so "OH, HAYBOO!!" loud, yet very wearable and just downright gorgeous. I haven't seen any skin-tone that can't rock this color. MAC describes it as a "fabulous fuschia", and that's pretty damn accurate. It's also listed under their "bestselling shades", so that should tell you something. Just about everyone loves this and everyone can wear it. From the super light to the super dark, this is your shade!

Ahh...the wonderful, yet confusing world of bronzers. There are so many of them on the market, in so many forms. You've probably seen powders, gels, creams, liquids...it's enough to overwhelm anyone. Sometimes finding a good bronzer is as hard as finding a decent man. Bronzers are often overlooked by many people because they just don't have any knowledge about them, and don't consider them when applying their makeup. What is a bronzer? Why should I wear one? I'm already brown, so why do I need one? Where do I apply it and what do I apply it with? What's a good one? These are the popular questions I hear when I mention the word "bronzer". Let me answer some of those questions for you..
