By Monika Cancilla I bought these Revlon nail stickers ($9.99) because of the adorable pink glitter houndstooth design. They were very, very cute going on. But alas, no more than 5 minutes later this started happening. I’m pretty sure the only thing I did with my hands in that five minutes was flip my [...] By Monika Cancilla Hello lovely ladies of the internets! I wanted to share a few drugstore gems that I’ve discovered in the last few weeks. Yes, I realize that they’re not natural or organic, but they work so I’m gonna use ‘em. First up is Maybelline’s Dream Lumi Touch concealer.
It’s [...] By Monika Cancilla Since the beginning of my all natural makeover, I’ve learned one thing. Finding natural, organic, environmentally responsible beauty products that lives up to their claims is like finding a needle in a haystack. I’ve tried countless products in search of new holy grails to replace my old, chemical laden ones. So far, there are only a [...] By Monika Cancilla Hello Ladies! In the past week or so of my Au Naturale makeover, I’ve discovered a few more awesome natural products to share with you that actually work!

The Hourglass Aura Cheek Stain comes in a weighty twist-click tube with a felt applicator that distributes just enough product. Again, no spillage or wasted product. Very nice. Their packaging design department deserves a raise. (You listening Hourglass? Seriously.) The consistency is light and [...] By Monika Cancilla Hourglass is a higher-end cosmetic line with which I’ve had very good experiences with. They consistently win in the product quality and package design department. This particular Aura Sheer Lip Stain comes in a beautiful, weighty gun metal grey tube with a felt tip applicator. A few twists and you [...] By Monika Cancilla Lip stains are a hot commodity these days. The hard part is finding the right formula and shade. Some lip stains out there (ahem, Revlon) are so pigmented and bright that they might blind that cute guy walking down the street. Others (cough, Benefit, cough) last a total of 20 minutes [...] By Monika Cancilla I’m pregnant. For that reason, I’ve been avoiding anything with fumes (and just stinky things in general).
