Gosh, I haven’t worn any Almay makeup since — when was that? 1992? I vaguely remember buying something from the line at a Thrifty’s where I cruised for makeup after school. There was something about the products looking kinda stiff and serious that I still remember today. It wasn’t the kind of makeup my friends [...]

Wearing N.Y.C. New York Color Ultra Last Lipstick in Sugar Plum I seriously cannot believe these NYC New York Color Ultra Last LipWear lipsticks are just $2. TWO DOLLARS! Like Trader Joe’s Two-Buck Chuck, (I think) these are worth way more than their price implies. I’m talkin’ hidden drugstore gems. I didn’t expect much from [...]

Wearing NYX Eyebrow Marker in Deep “NYX wants to mark their territory on your eyebrows…” Wait, did I really just write that? Ouch! Okay, let’s try that again. How about, “Does NYX deserve high marks for their new Eyebrow Marker ($9.75)”? Available in two shades — Medium (a light brown) and Deep (a medium brown) [...]

I was really hoping my recent run-in with the NYX Velvet Rope Palette was a harbinger of really rad NYX things to come, but the company’s 10 Color Eyeshadow Palette in Casting Call ($9.75) totally nixed that theory. With 10 mostly shimmery (there’s one very sheer matte black) powder shadows in shades of gray, silver [...]

Oh, Beautiful, why do you tease? Yeah, I’m talking to you NYX Mega Shine Lip Gloss in Beautiful ($5.50). It’s not just the newest of 61 colors in the Mega Shine line; it’s also the first NYX gloss I’ve ever tried. The line gets raves for texture, color payoff, shade selection and price, and I’ve [...]

Oh, my goodness! Look at all that purple. Is this a Prince video or a beauty blog? Today I left the thugs to their gangsta’s paradise while I escaped yet again to my purple one. I could go on and on about how much I love purple eyeshadow, but the No. 1 reason why I [...]

NYX Eye Brown Push-Up Bra on brows How do you feel about glitter brows? My gut reaction when I saw the NYX Eyebrow Push-Up Bra pencil ($10) was a big, fat OH, HELL YEA! I’ve probably worn glitter just about everywhere else, so I figure brows won’t be that much of a stretch. The dual-tipped [...]

As much as I love a good bargain, budget beauty doesn’t always deliver. With some drugstore beauty products, you just don’t know what caliber of quality you’re gonna get. The HiP Eye Shadow duos we looked at last week from the new L’Oreal Midnight Muse collection showed a lot of promise, and you showed a [...]

Wet N Wild Color Icon Kit in Sugar Plumb Fairy I wonder how much it costs to mail a letter to the North Pole. I ask because I’d really like to thank Santa for releasing these Wet N Wild Color Icon Kits ($5) for the holidays. Being just $5 each and coming with six coordinating [...]
