New Heights: Platform Sneakers
The view from up here is fabulous. I feel as if I’ve gained a whole new perspective.

Although they’re nothing new, the trends…
NYX Matte But Never Flat Powder Foundation
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xb67B27EjeE&w=560&h=315] I unbox, test, and demo the NYX Matte But Never Flat Powder Foundation to give my first impression. I feel like the coverage is buildable, and am satisfied with this product. I think I will try a Kabuki brush next, and really buff it in, but used a mineral powder brush by e.l.f….
Cavalli Does Disarrono: It’s a Wrap
Cavalli covers Disarrono? But…isn’t kinda just a wrap? Or…not kinda, but for reals? Dear Disarrono, um, for the price you could probably keep the wrap.

Mesh and sheer hi-lo tops, wide brimmed and bowler hats…from the shag vest to the faux leather pants, I want to relive the 90’s in grunge and goth fabulosity. What I wouldn’t…

Gwen Stefani X Urban Decay
Gwen Stefani is bringing her “Luxurious” look to Urban Decay in a make-up collaboration sure to sell out. Anyone and everyone with a “fatal attraction to cuteness” and a love of L.A.M.B. will likely be snatching up something from the collection.
