When news of the MAC Lady Gaga Viva Glam VII lipstick broke out, I was all over it. I’m usually skeptical about lipstick shades marketed with a light-skinned celebrity, but that didn’t stop me either. The fact that this shade quickly sold out everywhere didn’t stop me. I’m something of a rabid Lady Gaga fan. Last week, I was lucky enough to get my hands on the Lady Gaga lipstick, and it did not disappoint! More »


A lot of my childhood has been under the influence of old wives’ tales my mother brought with her from the Philippines. One such wives’ tale involves hair dye. According to my mom, hair dye causes cancer. The irony in this, is that my mother dyes her hair regularly and has over the years, achieved blonde hair. This past weekend, I tested this wives’ tale and dyed my virgin black hair. At a non-English speaking Korean salon. More »

From Girlybubble: Since I live in sunny Southern California and have no real use for beanies or mittens, we thought it’d be best to provide an opportunity for one lucky GirlyBubble reader to win a Nirvana Designs panda beanie and mittens set. Damn you Southern California, must you be too warm to be wearing cute panda-inspired beanies and mittens?! More »


If there’s a super model you should receive makeup advice from, it’s Kate Moss. Being well past the prime age for modeling at 35, Kate stuns all by the fact that she’s got her own fashion line, perfume and has no problem booking fashion shoots. Let’s not overlook her big cocaine scandal from a few years back. Unfortunately, her beauty secrets…nothing unheard of. More »


In a survey of 3,000 people conducted by a British drugstore, Superstore, Angelina Jolie was recently voted the beauty icon of the decade. Following in second was Jennifer Anniston — OUCH. I can’t say I blame the Brits for choosing Angelina. Those lips, those eyes, the hair; everything about Angelina’s beauty is otherworldy. More »


Nothing is as timeless as black eyeliner. Ever since it was first used in Ancient Egypt, it hasn’t gone out of style. Unfortunately, Cleopatra didn’t have as many black eyeliner options available to her as we do now. Black eyeliner, or eyeliner in general as you all know comes in liquid, gel or pencil form. Personally, I’m a big gel fan. I swear my life on MAC’s Blacktrack Fluidline (gel) paired off with an angled brush. I’ve had this life-long problem of being klutzy, and thus, my hands are too shaky for liquid liner. My question to you is, which form of black eyeliner do you prefer and why? More »


I’m not such a big fan of holding super hot objects close to my head. The fact that Target currently has a Conair Instant heat Curling Iron on sale for $9.99 is making me reconsider. Especially since one of my resolutions for 2010 was to actually do something with my hair aside from washing and drying it. According to a sister-like friend of mine, this baby heats up in seconds. She has paper-thin hair that according to her, requires an even shorter amount of time to wrap sections of hair around the iron. More »


When it comes to makeup safety, I’ve got one rule and one rule alone: Trust no one. I don’t care if your friend tells you that she’s been using this product for x amount of years and that it has no expiration date. Make-up doesn’t work the same for everyone. Plus, who likes getting infections that are make-up related? Wisen up and look to the following legit online resources for make-up safety information. More »


Not wearing eye makeup primer when you have eye makeup on is one of the most unforgivable face offenses one can commit. There’s no reason why you shouldn’t wear it. Unless you have something severely against getting the most out of your eye shadow in terms of color and wear duration. I’ve yet to come across a makeup primer that didn’t execute the promise of brighter, intense eye shadow color that stays on forever. Despite this, there are some primers that tend to do better than others. More »


When it comes to hair, I’ll admit — I am one lazy chick. This isn’t to say I have bad hair, I just don’t do much with it. I’m not entirely sure if braids are in or not, but I’m feeling mighty inspired. Who cares about trends anyways? Now, if only my arms didn’t hurt so much braiding my own hair… More »


As helpful as Youtube make-up tutorials are, they’re also totally hilarious. Especially if they’re mocking society’s less-than-desirable looks. One such look is Gloria aka Glowpinkstah’s “Chola Make-up Tutorial.” Sandra Bullock is a total fan, judging by the way she recently volunteered herself to be made over by Gloria on the George Lopez Show. 1 million+ hits can’t be wrong either.

Former actress and model Bo Derek, 53, has forever implanted the image of herself as Jenny Hanley in 10, emerging from the ocean with her beach babe body and braided hair. So much so, that I forget that she’s currently old enough to be my parent. It’s slightly puzzling to look at what she looks like now. More »
