Fab Fridays

“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!  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?

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! 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.

MissRo here! Well, we've learned about most of the products in the Mixed Chicks line. How about learning about the Founders behind the brand, Wendi Levy and Kim Etherdge.

Wendi and Kim, two "mixed chicks", created this product line because they needed it. Then, something happened! Friends and family started encouraging them to package it, and soon they had a full blown business running out of the garage. After a little door to door hustling, a few celebrity endorsements, and a ton of online customer support, MIXED CHICKS is now sold worldwide!
