Thank you, Lindsay Lohan

May 14, 2010

When I heard that our buddy LiLo, the famous trainwreck actress, had a line of self tanners, I said to myself, “Wow! That’s a terrible idea!” I mean let’s face it, she’s a very beautiful girl who’s been looking a bit rough around the edges lately. I just wasn’t sure I wanted to buy a [...]

Picks of the Week…the Drugstore Edition

April 19, 2010

Last week, my whole family got sick, and twice I ended up at my local CVS waiting for prescriptions. Well, you know what happens when I am idly ambling through the drugstore, don’t you? I spend money! I find all kinds of products that I don’t really need, but because they are so cheap, I [...]

And now, my hair is like butta too.

April 14, 2010

This is getting ridiculous. I am spending way too much money, but frankly, I don’t care. Because I look fantastic. And thus begins my review of my most recent beauty splurge…the Sultra Seductress Curl Wave and Straight One Inch Iron. At $230, this hot little number is by far the priciest flat iron I have [...]

The Clarisonic Mia: Expensive, but totally worth it.

April 7, 2010

The rave reviews on Sephora.com for the Clarisonic face brush had been haunting me for months, and I finally broke down and bought one.

And what, you may ask, is that crazy Shimmerfairy raving about now? Well, let me tell you. Sephora’s own brand of Smoothing Primer is fabulous. They gave me a free sample and I am in love, love, love. This is the ONLY thing I’ve found that actually makes it so makeup doesn’t crease up in [...]

Tried and Trues

March 13, 2010

Throughout my life, I’ve found there are things that just work for me. I like to think of these things as my old standbys, by *tried and trues* if you will. These are the things I always come back to…things I know will work for me. So why do I get away from them in [...]

$10? Get outta here!

March 6, 2010

Yesterday, I was in line at Sephora and noticed that they had these Color LipFusion Micro Collagen Lip Plump Color Shines at the counter for $10. That’s a really long way of saying I found some cheap lip gloss. I know, I know. I have enough lip glosses. Stop judging me. But this is a [...]
