I’ll say it: TSA Officers deserve a break.

Now that everyone’s starting to travel for the holidays, I can already hear the horror stories about how annoying TSA and airport security restrictions are and how you almost laid a bitch out b/c she wouldn’t let you take your $4 liter of SmartWater through security even though you just bought it in the airport [...]

Makeup Monday (crap it’s Tuesday isn’t it.): Primer

Several ppl have been rather surprised to find out that I, in my early 20s, already wear primer under my makeup on a daily basis.  For some reason we have this idea that primer is only for the 50+ crowd looking to fill in lines/pores for a smoother makeup application and even skin tone.  Now, [...]

You’re lucky I enjoy your popular hip-hop music, sir.

Anyone who uses public transportation at rush hour (or any time) has their rants about it.  I know I’m not special in this regard.  Nor am I the first person to be annoyed by someone blasting their music through their tiny headphones so loudly that I can not only tell what song they are listening [...]

Somehow I feel its encroached upon other areas of our great, once self-respecting nation as well, but [...]

Makeup Monday, a tad late

Sorry everyone!  Still getting into the routine I guess.  Anyhoo – I thought I’d cover another beauty product to which I’ve just been introduced (not unlike last week’s Murad eye cream).  This also has to do with the eye area: brow powder!  Specifically, Anastasia’s Brow Powder Duo, available in 5 different color combinations for $22 [...]

Makeup Monday: Introductory Issue – Murad Essential-C Eye Cream SPF 15Mur

Murad’s Essential-C eye cream is the most recent addition to what I affectionately refer to as “the arsenal;” that is, the array of products I apply prior to makeup in the morning and before sleep.  A few weeks ago I was at the drugstore searching for a replacement daytime eye cream, i.e. one w/SPF but [...]

New feature: Makeup Monday

Anyone who knows me knows my adoration of all things beauty.  I’m a sucker for new products, holiday season palettes, new fragrances, unorthodox eye and nail colors, and so on.  No matter how busy I’ve been or how late/early I’ve been up, I generally do not leave my dwelling w/o my “face” on.  The intensity [...]
