MissRo here! We can't seem to get enough of Dr. Dima's Cosminology! A couple of weeks ago I wrote about her Kharmic Khameleon - AstroKoncealer. I was saying how you didn't need to use any foundation, because you get amazing coverage from this product. Well, now you can win it!

Gigi here! Don't mess with this Drugstore Deals Reviewer! I will climb Mt. Everest or swim the English Channel to find cutting-edge deals to keep you lovely. Though generally non-combative, I have been known to wrestle another shopper to the floor to obtain the last remaining item in a display if I plan to review it. My mind is a living Rolodex for the latest and best in beauty I've seen in countless magazines and in other media. For what? For the elite, the proud, the stunning readers who were wise enough to join this utopian site. "Magnificent Meg Heads" rule here! They rule everywhere!
But I didn't need to scour the planet or my barren building pretending to function as a drugstore this time. I had a serendipitous moment in the The Medicine Shoppe (yes, we do have one other drugstore but the concentration here is on pharmaceuticals and over-the-counter medications). I had a sore throat and needed antibiotics and picked them up here. This entire staff works hard, very hard to fill prescriptions so quickly that I swear they're clairvoyant. They seem to know what you need before you tell them! Scary.
MissRo here to talk about eyeshadow ...AGAIN! I'm telling you, I can't get enough. Today I'm talking about Stila's "Barbie Loves Stila All Doll'd Up" palette. Not three, not five, but twelve colors to choose from! The colors, no matter how bright, earthy, or natural, are all rich in consistency, smooth in application, and last all day.
This year marks the 50th anniversary of Barbie. Various brands have paid homage to the famous doll this year. Stila decided to create a whole makeup collection based on Barbie. Not just the palette, there is Liquid Liner, three Smudge Pots, three Lip Glaze, three Lip Enamel Luxe Gloss, a 1959, 1971, and 1980 Barbie doll mini collection, and the Talking Palette.
I have to tell you though, as I write this post, the palette is already sold out on the Stila site! Thankfully, you can still purchase this palette on Sephora. Better get it while it's hot!
MissRo here! If there is one product I cannot have enough of, it's eye shadow. I wear a different eye shadow color everyday. Sometimes it's something very muted and natural, sometimes it's very colorful if I'm wearing all black, or sometimes it's a very dark, smoldering eye if I'm going out to an event.
My hubby always says to me "I like you with little or no makeup". However, how can a woman go with little, to no makeup when we have all of these amazing brands with amazing products out there!
I remember when I bought the first Sephora Blockbuster palette. It had something like 64 eye shadows, 20 lip glosses, 6 blushes, and the list went on. When that package arrived at my place and I opened it, my husband took one look at it, then looked at me, and shook his head.
Stylemama here! I am obsessed with eyebrows. Or, if you are fluent in toddler-speak, you might call them eyebrowns. I have serious eyebrow envy. When I spy a woman with great looking, full, perfectly groomed, natural eyebrows I want to run up to her and beg her to never over-tweeze or allow an inexperienced hand near her precious treasure. Eyebrows are as important to your face as fingers are to hands. Do I exaggerate?
My eyebrows are decent but nothing to brag about. I'm always on the hunt for tools and products that transform my "less-thans" to "more-thans" in the most natural manner possible. You skinny hairs are going to love my latest find.
But first, have you ever noticed that most brow brushes are kind of big and sometimes difficult to manage? If you haven't it's probably because you have a beautiful lush set of brows and definitely don't need my help. But, if you are like me, you really do need a smaller brush to maintain that 'fake' natural look.
Tantejoan here and I Love a Mystery! Ever since I had that color makeover by Maybelline’s color consultant Chuck Hezekiah I have been keeping in mind his comment about the changeable nature of my eye color lending itself to a very broad spectrum of colors. Now, when I go to the drugstore or department store counter, I admit I am a bit bolder in my choice of colors, and it is quite exhilarating, especially since the previews of fall fashions all show that jewel tones are back, in clothing and in makeup.
But my favorite colors for the eye are actually a form of no-color, the greiges and blue-greys and greenish-taupes that look especially good in these early, pre-Fall days. Their indeterminate hues make my blue eyes come to the fore, but veiled in a kind of mystery. That’s why, when Meg sent me an eye shadow from Julie Hewett called “Mystere” I leaped to be first in line to review it.
Gigi here! The bitter bare-bones beauty battle rages on (I dare you to say that three times quickly).
Things are becoming more sparse at my local store, and thus I drew on my marketing degree and created a schematic of how I would utilize unoccupied floor space and shelves to entice shoppers.
I spoke with executives at the corporate level, offering them suggestions. I explained that displays that face the window and not the shopper won't win customers and that teeth marks on a lipstick package and one single glove in a pair to wear overnight with hand cream need to be addressed; with all respect, the days of one glove went with much-loved Michael Jackson.
I used a football analogy. This is not a field. I don't want to rush one hundred yards across the open carpet to tackle beauty items. I have new Megheads to meet, friend Megheads to greet, reviews to write, and comments to make on the site!
MissRo here to tell you to get rid of your foundation, because all you need is the Cosminology Kharmic Khameleon, AstroKoncealer to "hide your dirty lil' imperfections".
I am not the biggest fan of foundation on an everyday basis. I realize that everyone has different skin issues and might need heavier coverage. I prefer just concealer and a dusting of a foundation/powder with a brush all over. The way that I apply my concealer goes like this - on the sides of my nose, between my bottom lip and chin, just above my eyebrows in the middle of my forehead, on my eyelids (for an eyeshadow base), and the lower/inner corner of my eyes. I blend all that in, put on my eye makeup, curl my lashes, throw on my powder, then finish with blush, mascara, fill in the brows, throw on a gloss, and I'm good to go!
Hiya! MissRo here! Have you ever done your makeup in the morning and went to work, or were just out running errands for most of the day. Then you get invited to join friends for drinks, but need to freshen up your makeup and the one thing you do not have is eyeliner. Well, that's not the case with Laura Geller!
For $22.80 you get not one, but two eyeliners! Yup, QVC is selling the Laura Geller i-Care Eyeliner Waterproof Pencil Duo for a limited-time at that price. Normally it sells for $32, which is still great considering you are getting two pencils. You are probably wondering why two pencils. Well that is what I asked when I first saw the product. Then I noticed, right on the box it says one for home and one for your purse. I thought "genius"! And now I never have to be without eyeliner when going from day to night when I don't have time to go home and freshen up.
