I know it’s been around for a few years, but I recently got a sample of Dr. Brandt’s Pores No More Primer and it’s the best I’ve tried (I like it much better than Smashbox, Hourglass, and Benefit). It’s much less silicone-y feeling than the others, and the tea tree oil in it really clears my pores. For a totally…

Jouer does one called Le Matchbox and it’s awesome. You can choose warm or cool squinting when you order. It’s quarterly, and the one from last month was the first box. From reviews I read, and people who bought both shades, warm was the better box. I got the warm box and it’s great - I use all the items all the time.

Really, that Real Chemistry Peel is a great product. There are very few items that I would buy after getting a sample in a beauty bag, but I’m saving up my Birchbox points for this.

Eh, I got the orange nail polish the author got & it’s not a good color for me. My 8 year old some liked it, though, so he can use it for his toenails. I wish I got the basecoat.

I agree, I love the Jesse’s Girl eyeshadow. It’s a perfect crease shade for me, and the formula is high-quality, even though it’s an inexpensive product.

I would just like to say that I love the name Goldie.

Yeah, this is just a more subtle version of what we used to do in the 90s, the dark liner with lighter lipgloss, a la Kim Mathers.

It’s like a full-body vajazzle. I’m feeling it.

Awesome. I get up there a couple of times a month. I may book an appointment - seriously, someone needs to teach me how to wear red lipstick! :)

I’m in Fairfax County, but I would make the drive! :)

Men.

My husband is terrified of the eyelash curler. He literally recoils in horror every time.

I’m in the DC area - just give me a hint - are you in NoVA? I would get your makeover, and I bet I would love it! I would love it for someone to show me how to pull off a red lip!

I would totally do that in the DC metro area - makeover at Nordstrom in Tyson’s Corner?

I got that same attitude towards beauty from a lot of girls when I went to France. I wash my hair every day, and wear makeup every day. One of the friends of my host made the unprovoked remark, “I don’t know why American women always wear so much makeup.” That was the first of a string of rude comments about American…

“He also pointed out that I didn’t look like a Portlander, but maybe more like someone from the East Coast. Interpret that as you would like.”

Thank you for pointing that out. I also found her comment ridiculous, considering her “natural” hairdo.

Yes. As a fellow native New Yorker, I hate all of that passive-aggressive shit. When New Yorkers have a problem with you, we’ll just tell you directly.

Best comment. And I thank you as an East Coast woman who loves makeup.
