Light Me Up

By Megan

The Northeast can be intolerable during the winter. The weather is cold, everything is gray, and the industrial world turns the whitest snow dingy in no time. You literally go from an idyllic hallmark-worthy scene to black slush in 12 hours. I will say, however, moving back north has done wonders for my skin. [...]

L’Oreal Falls Flat

By Megan 

I am usually all about better living through chemistry; however, Lisa’s dedication to using organic cosmetics inspired me to look at products and their ingredients. I decided to try L’Oreal’s EverPure Sulfate-Free Color Care System. I chose the volume formula because I need a little oomph. You know, the bigger the hair… 

Apparently, [...]

You Still Can’t Take My Picture

By Megan

I am probably one of the least photogenic people on the planet. If you judge how I look by most of my unfortunate Facebook pictures, I look like a pasty jabba the hutt. I promise you in real life I am not that weird. So, for obvious reasons, I loathe taking a picture. I [...]

Plump Up the Volume

By Megan

I have had a long and complicated relationship with Limp Plumpers. My first run-in with these modern wonders was a nameless lipstick in 2001 at Sephora .The color was like Pepto Bismol and Chalk had an angry cinnamon baby. The lip plumper worked, if you consider making my lips turn bright red [...]

New Years Beauty Resolutions

By Megan

So it is the time of year that we all vow to become cleaner, better, paragons of American womanhood. I often  think this practice is useless because 12 minutes after midnight I am face down in a bowl full of potato chips and I’ve already decided I could put off vacuuming until after the [...]

All the Glitters is from the Drugstore

By Megan

I have issues with glitter. Kind of like Courtney Love has issues with recreational pharmaceuticals. I can usually keep this issue under control. A little dab here, a little dab there and I can go about my day without too much notice. All bets are off, however during the holiday season. I go from [...]

Coastal Scents Eye-Poxy 2 Primer

 By Megan 

I wanted to make this review short and sweet, but I am truly a wordy mcworderson. Sit down and have some tea, because off I go…

As most of you know I am a mother. People always seem to give women who have children all sorts of unwanted advice, often at the most unwanted times. [...]

Dear Allure …

Dear Allure,

Have you lost your mind? Yes, I understand that you’ve told us time and again beauty magazines are aspirational and full of fantasy. So I assume that when I flip through the pages I will see super thin models in clothes I cannot afford…fair enough. HOWEVER, you have, time [...]

Let me Stand Next to Your Fire…

By Megan

In my quest to not smell like everyone else, I was drawn to the Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab and its host of  historical and literary themed fragrance oils. The site actually states that they have, ‘mastered the art of encapsulating the allegorical into singular olfactory experiences.’

I could go on and on about the names [...]

True Red

By Megan

Due to a technical difficulty, I have been less than available during the past few weeks.  Fortunately, I fill my boredom by buying cosmetics. The following review would’ve been perfect for Halloween, but Red Lips are eternal…

So, I have an obsession with the HBO series True Blood. I have been a [...]
