Urban Decay is one of my all time favorite cosmetic companies. Their eyeshadows are heavily pigmented, and they have a large selection of colors from glitter to matte, and I’m always able to find something that I love. Today, I’m wearing mostly Urban Decay. Starting with the Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion. Then I covered the entire lid with Sin. On the lower lid and crease I did a wash of Shattered. The liquid liner in copper that you see here is actually Rimmel’s Underground line, and I can’t find it anywhere anymore. I will be incredibly sad when mine [...]

I am a big fan of Benefit. And their Some Kind-a Gorgeous is my go-to for summer foundation, especially on the weekends, when I’m not up for spending a ton of time on my liquid foundation + primer + powder combo. I find the coverage is quite even and smooth, without being cakey or just too much. It feels to me as though it’s a nice combination of primer plus foundation, and it doesn’t encourage huge oil slicks on my face. I usually sweep a bronzer over it for good measure, but it’s not necessary.And right now, you can get [...]

Cast your vote(s) to win one of every winning brand, a $1000 gift card to Sephora, and a trip for two to Sephora University. I can’t decide which out of these three is the best of the deal, but lucky for the winner, they don’t have to decide! They get all of them! Ten second place winners get a $100 gift card to spend on anything at Sephora, which is a super deal in and of itself. I’m off to vote!

We get to a certain age and we realize that it just won’t do to look like the 18 year olds out on the beach. While some may get discouraged, it’s important to realize that dressing appropriately usually means dressing your age. Just because you can’t flaunt a 20 year old body anymore doesn’t mean that you can’t look gorgeous on the beach and turn a few heads. Here I’ve put together a few things that would make anyone stand out while enjoying the surf and sand. Don’t forget the sunscreen!

Isn’t it absolutely gorgeous? Spoon Fed Art began when designer Karin Collins started experimenting with collage while in therapy for an eating disorder. Those experimentations turned into beautiful, wearable art. Karin has even designed a logo pendant for the National Eating Disorders Association, and it’s absolutely gorgeous, like everything else she does. The pendant seen here is one of my favorites, but I’m not sure I would be able to choose. I’ve long been a fan, but have not yet purchased one. I must figure out which one suits me the best! And right now, they are sponsoring a giveaway, [...]
