Here's a lip color that would look amazing on pretty much everyone. It's NYX Black Cherry round lipstick, and it costs around $4. It's a beautiful deep berry shade with hints of blue, but it's not too cool. Warm skin tones can definitely wear this. This lip would look extra seductive on med-to-dark skin tones, and vampy on lighter skin tones (which isn't a bad thing at all).

Ooooh the taboo subject of...*whispers*...facial hair!! Ok well maybe it's not "taboo", but it's one of those things most women aren't comfortable talking about -- understandably. I'm gonna attempt to break that ice for you all, because it is something that so many of us face and stress over quietly. Lots of women refuse to go out in public donning their 2 o'clock shadows in an effort to get it removed professionally. Well now you really don't have to.

Oh Chanel, how you make my heart pitter-patter with the stroke of your fabulous mascara...with the blackest formula I've ever used! I absolutely love and adore this mascara and need it in my life. I'm no mascara snob, I'll try just about any one from the cheapest drugstore mascara to the most high-end "price of my gas tank" mascara. Why? Because when it comes to makeup -- you're never satisfied and you always wanna keep trying different brands to compare them, test them out, etc. Chanel is one of my favorites, and not because it's "Chanel"...but because it really tickles my eyelash pickle.

I've been wanting to try a blue mascara for the longest, and Hautelook had a sale on Blinc mascara ($25) so I figured I'd take advantage. Blue mascara has a benefit of making the whites of your eyes appear whiter and more awake. I'm not going to give this mascara a complete review (with grade, pros and cons) just yet because I've only worn it twice and I'm still testing it out. I want to try layering it with other mascaras to see what happens, but here's an "so far" review for you...

Smokey eyes are probably the most popular way to pimp your eyelids. There are so many ways to smoke out your eye -- and not look like a panda in the process. Insert the NYX Winter in Moscow Smokey Look palette ($19.50); a handbook sized folding palette with a mirror, 2 blushes and 5 lip colors on one side, and 14 eyeshadows and applicators on the other side. I received this item to review from my good friend in lipstick, Linda. She asked that I review it so here we go :)

One of the great things about cosmetics is that there are so many products available to play in that you're bound to find awesomeness lurking in every corner. I have more lip products than I do anything else, and where most people would stop after 3 lipglosses...I'm always on the quest to find something better than what I already own -- that, and I am addicted. Few days ago I ordered some Dolce & Gabbana Ultra Shine lipglosses ($29) and they were love at first swatch.
