I Like the Wind Beneath My Wings Hawaii Jewelry

Eight years ago, Wings Hawaii, an all-woman run clothing and jewelry company, started as an art project at the University of Hawaii. Now the Maui-based line sells their handmade, beach-inspired designs at stores all over Hawaii (Oahu, Kauai and Maui), the mainland (New York, California, Georgia and Washington) and online at wingshawaii.com. I couldn’t resist [...]

Boscia MakeUp-BreakUp Cool Cleansing Oil May Not Remove It All

Oil: It’s not just for deep frying and cars I would love to hug the genius/sadist who, one fateful, oil-slicked day, threw that first potato into a vat of boiling oil. Buddy, I’d like to shake your greasy hand. Mmm, fries… But oil’s not just for cars and deep frying. Companies have been pushing cleansing [...]

A High/Low Mascara Challenge

Lollipop26′s Laura puts two volumizing mascaras—Yves Saint Laurent Volume Effet Faux Cils versus L’Oréal Paris Voluminous—through a series of tests including brush size, thickening effect, and how well they last through hours of chores. Which one fared better? Watch her video to find out.

The Becca Beach Tint Trio Holiday Gift Set Smells Like Fruit Salad

Becca Beach Tint in Apricot on cheeks Okay, so you know the Becca Beach Tints? Talk about makeup salvation for the lazy. They’re these multipurpose, oil-free, water-resistant creams for adding a hint of scented color to cheeks and lips. Not only are they easy to blend without streaks, but you can layer them beneath blushes, [...]

$7 Almay Intense I-Color Trios Take the Guesswork Out of Eyeshadow Matching

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 [...]

These Chanel Cote D’Azur Rouge Coco Lipsticks Are Beachy Keen

Rouge Coco lipsticks from left: Perle, Chintz and Taffetas Rose I know it’s wrong and crazy, but it’s taking all of my willpower to resist painting Tabs’ claws with Chanel Riva Nail Colour. And it’s a good thing cats don’t have lips…because if they did Tabs would already be wearing one of the four Rouge [...]

I Gotta Hand It to the Tocca Crema Mani Cream Viaggio Set

Ladies, as you know, I Tocca pretty product packaging very seriously. Remember the cute-as-all-heck minis in the Tocca Eau de Parfum Viaggio Set ($45)? Well, Tocca’s back, this time with an adorable trio of matching hand creams in the very same scents (for more on the scents, click here). The 2-fl. oz. tubes are a [...]

Chanel Riva Le Vernis Nail Colour: Like the Ocean in a Bottle

Um, can you say swoon? I’ve been dying — DYING! — to see the new Chanel Nail Lacquer in Riva ($27) ever since it popped up on the runway at the Chanel Cruise fashion show last May. I’ve lusted over Riva more than I’ve lusted over the abs of the official “Sexiest Man Alive,” aka [...]

Ready, Set, Save! The $2 N.Y.C. New York Color Ultra Last Lipsticks

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 [...]
