Meg here, the best gift is the one you give away! If you're a snooty hoarder then this does not apply to you. If you're a snooty hoarder then go back to underneath the rock you crawled out from because we hate you. I said it. Yeah, we totally hate you.
Hate me for having fancy perks, keep in mind it is 11:30pm on a Friday and my only life is you. While I dress great and my appearance is above and beyond- I am sitting here-alone. Don't Cry For ME~The Truth Is I've Never Left You! A man is great. Her voice brings me to tears and She is better then any stupid guy. I mean those pipes ring true. I LOVE MEN! I just don't want to ever be under one! *Side note, under one that pleases me, "gets me" and won't try to dictate me-O.K.-I'll be under HIM-but just maybe. My guess is I'll be "more of the man" and hopefully he'll move on. Subservient has never been a part I've been willing to play.*
I wish my pimples would be direct like I am. I wish they would try to not to settle and see this is not fertile pimple ground and leave quickly. I wish they would have zero-tolerance for breeding as I do.
As with men, my pimpled proved "NO SUCH LUCK!" I tried everything and her Beam Me Off Acne Buster WORKS! I squeezed and this brought it to a head, It has a botanical base and it dries all natural and this works! Here is the true testament. It worked for me so I mailed it to my best friend Emilie Hann.
She is my true soul-mate, we all have one. Look at how lovingly she holds my face in that photo. We are one. I mailed Beam Me Off to Em and she was so appreciative on the work it did on her face! She is hooked. If you were all my bestfriends I would mail it to you. It's that good.
“I believe that makeup is an accessory, just like your favorite piece of jewelry. It should look good on you and look hood while you are putting it on. I want my beauty collection to inspire you to try a new look, experiment with color, and be unique...write your own beauty story every day.” - Tarina Tarantino
Jasmine Simone here! As of this Wednesday, I must admit my relationship with Tarina Tarantino was not a close one: I was aware of the brand, familiar with it’s section in Sephora - even tried a product or two - but not my go-to line that I sought out when I was jonesing for a new eye-popping eyeshadow or a dazzling new accessory for the new outfit I just bought for an event. But like as said, that was Wednesday. Apparently, I was just very slow to the party! Today is Friday and I unabashedly admit I am kind of obsessed with Tarina Tarantino. I have spent the last two days repeatedly flipping through her dazzling Lookbooks, visiting her website and learning her wonderfully inspiring back story all the while tagging which products I will have to search out in the many edgy, yet high-end fashion stores that carry her products and just generally ingesting the brand itself.
Meg here! Spring has sprung! That was a total joke. I'm on the East Coast and right now it is alternating between super horrendous and complete Hell. The snow falls, I freeze. The freezing rain washes away the snow and now I'm both freezing and soaking wet! Perhaps the houses of fashion knew we would need to be sturdy. Let me tell you ladies. For this spring, on the nails-PINK AND SOFT COLORS ARE DEAD!
Dead, done and over-put a fork in it honey-this romantic look has been cooked! You know what? Change is good and redefining rules are healthy and I'm actually very ready to open my talons to a new statement. Barely there beige and ballet slipper pink have been my spring go-to's for too long and I want to shake stuff up! Being an insider at Bryant Park I got to examine every aspect of every model strutting down the catwalk to define what is "in for spring" there wasn't a pink hue in the house!
It was like pink was the color for spring for so long, those wispy barely there colors that we seek out is SO OVER SISTER! I want you to be armed with this insider information-if you're doing a light baby color YOU ARE OUT OF STYLE FOR SPRING!
Meg here! It's New York time so its very late. I just want to say a quick "Hello" and I am getting ready for our Meg Head Tour!
New York Fashion Week has left me quite tired and I wish I was more lively for this-VEUVE CLICQUOT is sponsoring us! I know, crazy-right?
Our readers in Boston are getting the VIP TREATMENT and you're all welcome to join! I just got back from Microsoft's amazing party for their X-Box Natal Project! Wow! Was that a huge something! The party went back to my place and we didn't even have to call in a Veuve favor because it is all I have with me (aside from 14,00000 lipglosses).
Here is a candid shot of me tired and worn out. I couldn't open the damn bottle because I was already a bit tipsy. I grabbed a samurai sword and knifed off the top of the bottle. The sword is in the right of the picture. Like you haven't sworded a bottle in a time of need! Veuve called to me, I answered with a knife-what do you people want from me?
Has your boyfriend or husband ever told you he prefers you without makeup? But the minute a really attractive woman comes in the room with a face painted full of makeup he starts rubbernecking. Sigh!
Beauty Undercover decided to test out this makeup paradox with the help of a dating site called, BeautifulPeople.com. Recently the international website has come under fire for booting women off for gaining weight over the holidays. This is a site where people are allowed in only if they’re deemed, “good-looking enough.”
A few months back, with the help of Greg Hodge (the man who runs the dating site) we put five different pictures of women (at different times) on Beautiful People and close to 20,00o men voted on them. Should they be allowed on the site? (We know it’s obnoxious.)
Here’s the catch…the men thought they were voting on five different women but it was actually two women made-up to look different in each picture. (Greg was in on it but the voters weren’t.) Thanks to the complementary art of photography and sophisticated styling of Elizabeth Stewart, (and make-up by Shannon Griffin) the men never knew they were voting on the same two women. See how it turned out after the jump.
Meg here! I have been completely lusting after Urban Decay Vol II Limited Edition gift set since it came into my possession (16 eyeshadow shades, 2 liners and a primer potion!) I have been drooling a frothy foam at LORAC Doublebooked limited edition gift set (Inside, you'll find eight cool and eight warm color-coordinated eyeshadows, two blushes, two lip glosses, one bronzer, one highlighter, one lip liner, and LORAC's exclusive dual-sided shadow/liner brush.) They are GORGEOUS AND TO DIE FOR!! These two kits can be used everyday and you will need nothing but your foundation FOR A YEAR! This gift is going to be EXPRESSED MAILED (even to you international's-that how much the best entry means to us!) No shipping expense spared! If you are in the US then expect it by Wednesday afternoon. If you are overseas I 100% personally promise I will get it in your lucky hands as quickly as able! I'm spending my going out-to-dinner-allowance on you! We are counting on you to help us spread the word! The mayor of Megsmakeup.com is going to be one happy official! You don't even have to be politically connected to win this seat. Sometimes companies can only part with a very few items. I give to the writers fairly. If someones pack was not large we throw one in. I, honestly, very rarely take-I do not have a 10k foot bathroom (Sir Richard Branson-call me.) I don't want to be found dead under 3,000 makeup kits (although, that is how I would like to die.)
Meg here! Our wonderful Jeanasina did a review on Skin Vie Stress Realeasing and Smoothing Elixir and she loved it. A lot of Meg Heads love it. It's so great to use a creme that relaxes you while it's getting down to serious business? How serious? Well, there's this....
Relaxing stress-related facial tensions and contractions such as frowning that can lead to the deepening of visible fine lines, facial anxiety and wrinkles.
Helping to increase the skin’s discomfort tolerance threshold and thus reduces the perception of skin sensitivity, irritation, cracks, dry patches and discomfort.
Normalizing cell matrix proteins (HAS-2, collagen V, perlecan) responsible for maintaining skin’s elasticity, firmness and smoothness that can be compromised during times of stress.
Promoting the normalization of cell proteins (HIF-1a) key to defending the skin from skin infections that may cause irritation.
Helps to normalize cell oxygen rate which leads to an improvement of skin's rejuvenation, radiance and relaxation of the skin.
Eleni and I got to meet the creators of SkinVie and we were blown away with their sheer knowledge of all things skin. I think I got a "D" in chemistry so lost me on the first mention of "matrix proteins." These guys were no joke and their experience and brain power was a little bit intimidating. I asked head developer, Mukhtar, to answer a few questions for us about Skinvie.
Meg here! Sometimes we get lots of comments. A lot of comments is usually when there are around 60. When Sweetassgal reviewed EOS lip balm around 90 of you piped up!
That's a lot of lip balm chatter. It maybe the cool shape of these round spheres that spark the conversation. Once you twist off the top the balm is ready for application. Zero messy application and no unsanitary pot to stick your finger into. The case itself is a sturdy/squishy/rubberish plastic. I know, it is just hard to explain but it is great for those design snobs out there.
EOS decided to make your life pretty easy! They took 3 of their amazing flavors-Honeysuckle Honeydew, Sweet Mint and Summer Fruit and packaged them in a Secret Santa gift pack for $9.99! It's exclusive to Walgreens and only until the end of December. Look at all of the raves they got on this site 6 months ago! When EOS showed me this inexpensive good pack I knew we had a hit on our hands. Aside from these babies being unisex and lip balm snobs favorite-they're also "green"! 95% Organic 100% Natural.
Meg here! Way back over a year ago I was absolutely going crazy over my Crystalift here's the post. It just makes so much sense to me to have my own micro-dermabrasion machine. This baby is $199.00 and Crystalift is offering free shipping. My dermatologist charges $350 for just one micro-dermabrasion in his office. The Crystalift is going to give you the exact same treatment whenever you want it-no making an appointment necessary.
