This week, the Review of the Week category is Mascaras (and p.s. if you haven't entered yet you have 'til March 9th!). Like I said in the article, I will never tire of talking mascara. Every time a new one comes out, I am in line at the store, purchasing and testing out ASAP. At the moment, I have about 3-4 mascara tubes on the go. I just can't help myself. MUST. BUY. ALL. THE. MASCARAS....

Not too long ago, you'll remember that I very bravely endured my first Brazilian wax. I mean, I was pretty badass. While I have conquered the professional downstairs bidness wax, I still have not been able to quite work myself up to trying an at home wax. However, with the recent Nair Candy Apple Sugar Wax release and product review club offer (did you snag one?), I've been curious about the...

Primer and I have a difficult relationship. In Facebook terms, you might classify it as 'It's Complicated'. It's not that we don't get along ever, sometimes I fall head over heels and other times, I'm not too sure what it adds to my life. Finding the right primer is like finding the right guy, it takes some experimenting, time and of course, you'll have to suffer through a few lemons. 

That's...

Last night's Oscars had some awesome (the selfie that broke Twitter!), weird (John Travolta completely butchering the name of the person he presented) and super low points (some of those montages were a SNOREFEST). Of course, there were really only two reasons why we tuned in: Ellen and the red carpet fashions. Ellen was her usual charming self, but with the exception of a few knockouts, the...

I can't talk enough about mascara. Seriously, get me started on the topic of mascara at a party and I will be alone, in the corner, drinking wine and chatting by myself because everyone has gone home hours ago. But I CAN'T STOP TALKING MASCARA.

With all this testing out of new gyms and studios, not only are our bods getting a workout, but our iPods are too. The only thing that makes the treadmill bearable for me is a good playlist that pumps me up, keeps me going when I want (so very desperately) to stop and helps me wind down with a stretch. 

If you're like me, a decent playlist is a must for a trip to the gym, and we're here to...

Being a superhero seems like hard work. I mean, not only do you have to constantly carry a change of clothes around with you, but there's the flying, lifting heavy objects and I am sure that laser heat vision takes a toll on you. Bascially, superheroes are great multi-taskers. When it comes to beauty products, there are some hidden superheroes as well. They work double duty to ensure that your...

Unfortunately, wrinkles are a part of life. They are inevitable. Which is why all potions 'n' lotions that claim to zap away fine lines exist. Because we all want that baby smooth skin. While the effectiveness of some of the creams might be up for debate, there are a lot of great anti-aging products, just check out our reviews. Of course, when it comes to anti-aging, some people can get um, a...
