By Sheila Arkee Fall makeup collections are a source of joy for me – it’s all about the texture, the colors, the warm embrace of rich jewel tones that I cannot resist.

By Wendy Larson (Reviews by Wendy, Haiku’s by Whipped Cream vodka) Ruddiness bye-bye? Nope, not gonna happen here A green tinted fail
I understand the concept of color correction. Green neutralizes redness, and as a woman of fair skin and Scottish decent, I have redness to boot. Sadly [...] By Sheila Arkee When it comes down to trying new foundations, I will admit to doing so with a cynical eye. New? Improved? HD? Yeah, right, I think, going in with the assumption that I might not like said product. It’s a side effect of having tried scores of foundations through the years and [...] By Ashlee Coogan For the past couple of weeks, I’ve been trying the Smashbox ‘Photo Finish’ Foundation Primer.

Their [...] By Sheila Arkee One thing any makeup artist worth their brush belt will tell you is that you must avoid any products in foundation or powder that could possibly cause “white face” in photographs. You know what I’m talking about. Sorry, Eva. You were a victim, too.

However, along with the joys come some pains, including the fact that I will probably never get a decent night’s sleep until my son leaves for college. Oy. There are so many times I [...] By Sheila Arkee Smashbox’s In Bloom Soft Focus Powder Eye Liner is the *perfect* addendum to my recent Breaking Down Beauty post about eye liners. Consider me a doubter converted to a believer. Having seen but not used various powder eye liners, I was a bit wary about the intensity and staying [...] By Megan Courtesy of Sephora.com It’s that time of year again, the first frost is fast approaching the East Coast and a girl’s mind turns to Fall/Winter looks.
