[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OuyGl5LT0s] I decided to take on the Highlighter challenge, which was not as difficult as the no brushes makeup challenge, except in that highlighter does not make a good contour…but we knew that already. Did you attempt it? Link yours in the comments. Products used Nyx Contour Cheek Duo Elf: Shimmering Facial Whip in…

Friends with Benefit

Benefit cosmetics has long lead a cult following, and products like “Roller Lash” and “They’re Real” are now household names.  I’ve been using Benefit for years and years.  I used the eye-con for years alone…seems like it’s discontinued or repackaged.

Bobbi Brown’s books are always an informative, straight to the point, easy read.  I think I’ve read them all.  The only one that left me wanting more was Everything Eyes…I felt like it wasn’t everything.

Runway Beauty Fall/Winter 2016 Paris Fashion Week PFW FW16 AH16

Runway Beauty Fall/Winter 2016 Paris Fashion Week seemed to have the same formula show to show- bold eyes contrasting a nude face and lips, with the exception of Saunt Laurent, which went 80’s full face, and Dior and  Yohji Yamamoto, which went the opposite direction with black lips and nude or lined eyes. The runway…
