I absolutely love makeup palettes. I tend not to buy eye shadows in individual containers because it’s usually more expensive to buy them that way, so unless it’s a color that I really want, I don’t buy it. Whenever I get a new makeup palette, I get so excited — it’s like getting a brand new cosmetics case all at once! I just watched some YouTube videos about Sephora’s new Color Play 5-in-1 Palette, and now I need it, like right now. More »

Sometimes I feel like I got cheated out of being a true 80s kid. I was technically born in the 80s, but I was far too young to remember actually living in those times. Luckily, there are plenty of photos of my family to prove that the 80s did exist and that fashion and beauty were as ridiculous as everyone makes them out to be! We are also lucky that this video exists to remind us that feathered hair and blue eyeshadow will always make you feel fantastic. More »

Earlier this week my hair dryer decided to stop working. I guess it’s about time, because I’ve had it since I was in high school. However, I was hoping that it wouldn’t let me down any time soon since hair dryers can be so expensive. Fortunately, I found a stylish and efficient one for just $12.99! More »

This video is by no means new, but I just found it when doing some internet browsing a few weeks ago. It’s an informational video about how to be chic like a French woman, and something about it made me wonder, “is this girl for real?” Watch as she demonstrates how you can be as chic as the French.

Whenever I get my nails done, I always wish that I could afford something a little bit extravagant, like a cool design. I have absolutely no artistic ability, so doing my own nail art is pretty much impossible. I’ve been hearing a lot lately about Konad nail stamps though, and I’m sort of interested in testing them out! The design above was done by Beautopia! More »

I know that I posted a Snooki tutorial before, but when YouTube sensation glowpinkstah makes a video, it pretty much takes the cake automatically. Sure, she’s a little blunt and foul-mouthed, but her mocking tutorial videos are always good for a laugh. More »

I’m always a little late on viewing my subscriptions on YouTube. While I was watching the videos I had missed from glowpinksta [who hooked me with her Chola Makeup Tutorial], I came upon one where she was helping a friend advertise for her online cosmetic store, Valentine Kisses. So I checked out the site and what caught my attention (other than the layout), were the unbelievably great prices. There’s also free shipping to boot :] More »

Who is Amanda Palmer? She is a singer/songwriter, one-half of the punk cabaret duo The Dresden Dolls, fiancée of graphic novelist Neil Gaiman, and Twitterholic. She also made headlines for the dress she wore at this year’s Golden Globe Awards. She is a lot of things, but what intrigues me about her most is actually her eyebrows. More »

Today marks the official start of New York Fashion Week! For the next seven days, buyers, editors, socialites, and bloggers (that’s us!) will be scrambling from show to show as the designers present their Fall 2010 collections. There is so much more that goes into a runway show than just the clothing — hair and makeup is also carefully planned to coordinate with the shows. Many runway makeup looks end up becoming trends, so you can bet that we’ll be paying close attention this week! To give you an idea of how the makeup looks are created, take a look at this video of Bobbi Brown doing her thing at Rachel Roy’s Fall show last year! More »

I haven’t ever watched Jersey Shore (nor do I ever really intend to), but that hasn’t stopped these ridiculous people from showing up in every magazine and blog that I read. Perhaps the most talked about cast member is the girl who goes by the name “Snooki” and looks like she should be working in Willy Wonka’s factory. The Cut posted a great video of Snooki being made “under” by Inside Edition this morning, which you should check out first. Then, watch this YouTube tutorial on how to get Snooki’s look! More »
