The Bomb Balm: ChapStick True Shimmer
When it comes to lip products we like to do it up big. We’ll go for anything with a high sheen gloss, bold shine and yes, even glitter. That’s why we were a little skeptical of whether the new ChapStick True Shimmer could bring on enough glam to meet our girly-girl standards. We busted open […]

Saint Patty's Day Pretty Picks from Sephora
Honestly, I’ve never been a fan of green beer. If it’s not some shade of honey, it’s not going past these lips. I’m celebrating St. Patty’s Day instead with a little beauty pick-me-up from the shelves of my favorite beauty store, Sephora. I’ve been a good girl lately and pulling up my bootstraps but I’m […]
Celeb Spotting with MB York
We’ve been smitten with M.B. York (aka, Mary Beth York) and her facial artillery kits since first stepping foot into her adorably girlie day spa formerly in located north Scottsdale. And we had a bit of a hissy fit when she closed it to focus more on her products. But fear not my fellow girlie […]

Going Glam for the Cure: Too Faced Betsy Baby Shadow
We unabashedly and unapologetically adore Too Faced Cosmetics. Every product comes tapped with a dash a personality, a sprinkle of charm and a dollop of glamor. I’ve been gaga over my Love Lisa mini beauty kit (inspired by Lisa Blandino, Too Faced creator Jerrod Blandino’s sister, who is battling skin cancer) ever since I got […]
Your Click Counts: LOreal Ovarian Cancer Color of Hope Campaign
The American Cancer Society estimates that nearly 22,000 women will be diagnosed with ovarian cancer in the U.S. in 2008 and approximately 15,000 will die from it. What’s even more staggering is that no effective screening test currently exists for early detection of this disease. Given this, L’Oreal Paris made it their mission to help […]
