Wet n wild has some amazing lipsticks for 2$, their new foundation and concealer (relatively new) are freakin amazing, I adore maybelline age rewind concealer and their foundations in general, L’Oréal also has awesome foundations (their pro matte. Is great and if you have dry skin their pro glow is gorge... also tru…
I used nothing but cheap Tressemme for the longest time but the one I use is apparently only consistently available at one super market in my hometown. I used some shampoo and conditioner samples that came in subscription boxes or with Sephora orders and was surprised by how much better the expensive stuff was. Like…
Living Proof’s Perfect Hair Day line is pricey but has totally changed my hair life. I never blow dry but this stuff makes my hair so soft and shiny you would think I had.
I’ve got a couple of C things from The Ordinary — the 23% suspension and the 12% ascorbyl glucoside — and like both pretty well. I’ve also used the Oz Naturals C serum (like $18/oz on Amazon) and NuFountain C + Ferulic ($27/oz) and liked them just fine too. C is one of those things that I generally don’t see (and…
Someone on my blog just told me that Ricky’s NYC has a subscription box now! And it’s eleven bucks! AND signing up gets you 25% off your orders!
More and more it does seem like the Sephora Play boxes are all full of 100 point rewards. I don’t subscribe to them anymore, but I do have a weird compulsion with reading My Subscription Addiction. Next month’s Allure box has a full size Sunday Riley vitamin C serum...thinking about giving it a shot!
I hate you and your perfect skin and also it sounds like you may be perfect for Glossier, aka the hippest of hipster makeup brands and also perfect for that natural rosy “I’m not wearing makeup” flushed look (yes, I’m v. jealous since I can’t wear it because I need more coverage).
START CHEAP. Lip/cheek/eye palettes or sets for as little cash as possible are a great way to start. Yeah, the application and wear will be less than ideal, but it’s much easier to try on and wear multiple colors around the house for a while until you figure out what suits you and what you like ... THEN you can…
OMG the perfume. I wish there was a way to opt-out of fragrance, completely. As a teen and 20-something I was able to get my mag subscriptions without perfume samples, and that was about six hundred years ago. It shouldn’t be hard to code a “no scents” option into the samplers interface.
Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner is the only thing that I’ve ever gotten to stay put along the waterline. And it comes in like a bajillion different colors too!

I’m glad women are speaking out about truths, but I hate the erasure of Black women in the conversation. Black women have always been ignored and put in positions where there was no one to protect us. Rich White women like Taylor Swift and others being centered in this movement is wrong.
I agree that respectability politics probably does have a role in why she’s going so damn hard on Meek, but I also have to wonder how much of it is personal obsession when she’s making bizarre requests like asking him to drop his major record label to sign with her shady friend, showing up at his community service,…
I didn’t really know the backstory on Meek’s initial charges, which puts a lot into context for me. It looks as if his first set of charges came from simply being a black man in the wrong place at the wrong time, if Meek’s account is true (and I have no reason not to believe it). Yes, Meek has hampered himself with…
Spot on. I actually handled a plea the other day and the Judge was phenomenal. He said he would waive the fine if my client, bright individual, made a mistake, dropped out of high school senior year, etc. if he would get his GED. Which I am sure my client will do. I agree making a highly successful hip hop artist take…
Leave it to Darth Becky to try and dull the shine of two accomplished Black Americans. For all that worship at the altar of her Beckiness can I ask you a question? Can any of you tell me one fucking thing this talent starved useless piece of garbage has accomplished? I mean other than living off of her parents health…
No doubt. I’m at my desk at 7 a.m., out by 4, and am in bed by 9. I read this the whole time thinking, “Oh, you crazy kids!”
