Beauty School Dropout
Well, in honor of Grease II and Michelle Pfeiffer, I'd just like to post this:The hair color box lady is an "enigmatic," hair color spokeswoman, but does she have teeth? And in terms of the heavy eternal questions that weigh me down, should I go blonde for summer?Buy it: Garnier Nutrisse Level 3 Macadamia ($10), CVS or Long's Dru...
Baked Goods
Basically, they say sunbathing is bad, bad, bad, but every once in three years, I show my legs and arms to the world. And, I just found out I was the last one to know about ChikaLicious, a dessert restaurant. Yessiree, you heard that correct, dessert restaurant.Now instead of working, engorging myself with pastries in the afternoon sun is my new "goal." This could spell trouble. To support this effort, I am so excited about my tube of Lancome's new sunblock UV Expert 20 with Mexoryl ™ SX Face and...
Above the Nose: Deals and Indulgences
Well hello, my pretties. Cackle.Sales do this to me. Yesterday, I went to Sephora and bought a new new eyebrow lash/brow comb for $2.50, on sale, and a nice eyeliner brush for $4.50, also on sale. Then, continuing my thriftiness, I brought my Oliver Peoples eyeglasses in to be repaired in the Village to some store I had never been inside, and they didn't charge me a dime for fixing it.Today I wore my eyeglasses, which I bought on eBay (you can keep my secret, right?) for a fraction of their retail...
I feel like I've seen you somewhere.
Dear America, OMG it's been forevs! But sometimes you just have to go and like, write novels and be a professor and play with your dog, plus, I (as in I Violet, not Charlotte, who usually posts here) really don't wear makeup, so I kind of used up all my knowledge in this blog's first months. I, Violet, can talk about epidemiology with you, though! Cholera vectors, what?!ANNNNNNNNNYways. Uh. There's been a revolution in my personal care routine lately, and it's been prompted by the revolutionary...
This season's necessary blushes come in all shapes and sizes.....
We're not embarassed to extoll pink blush. A great blush can stand for itself, and doesn't require much fuss. You can wear all of these blushes solo, and with a dab of sheer lipstick and undereye concealer for a look that is polished and relaxed.One stamp, no postage required. Lorac Cheek Stamp in Hibiscus ($22) is a little pot.The new Swedish Hakansson products are skinny, pale, and about the size of a library card.

Catch a Wave
Humidity is upon us, which drives scores of curly-haired city girls to Japanese straightening, curling irons, and relaxers. I say, fuggedaboutit. Curly-haired girls have the upper hand: those with toppling ringlets always have the last laugh, tons of fun, and bigger hair. Duh!CurlyTo pump up those curls, Aveda's Be Curly(TM) Curl Enhancer tames frizz and "defines curl up to 57%" more than untreated hair. I thought you would like that numerical sum of curliness. Or for "day at the beach" hair, we...
Hey Sexy, I'm So Glossy: Tarte Sunglosses
Sometime we love to play favorites, especially when a lipgloss comes along that makes us shine like the top of the Chrysler building.

Afternoon Delight: Mac Foundation Brush
A few months ago, my significant boy said he sometimes likes it better when I don't wear makeup. Hmmmm, I was like, "Oh, that's sweet honey," and when hell freezes over. Faking ItThis really got up my feminine wiles, and I ran over to the Mac boutique to share my distressing tale with Charlie, the makeup artist. He rolled his eyes with deep understanding."Sheer out" is Charlie's catchphrase. He "sheers out" foundation with a foundation brush, not with his fingers, using Mac's Studio Tech Liquid...
