Updated Jan 4, 2008

Description

Unfortunately, it's not Scarlet, but NARS' Jungle Red nail polish is close enough for an Ohio State-supporting manicure.

Plus Minus Zero Humidifier

Updated Nov 21, 2007

Description

Winter air is DRY and for someone who already has dry skin, a humidifier isn't just a nice-to-have, it's a must. The Plus minus Zero Humidifier allows you to add aromatherpy essences to the air, too, so your skin can relax, and so can you. Doesn't hurt that the humidifier won't uglify your living space either.

Updated Oct 31, 2007

Description

The perfect thing for hair when you want to make it "special" and don't want to wear a helmet! Frederic Fekkai's Hair Mascara goes on just like mascara for your eyelashes, but this for your hair. Comes in different shimmering colors, but naturally, I go with gold.

Chanel Purete Mat Shine Control Powder SPF 15

Updated Oct 16, 2007

Description

This is how a Drugstore Beauty Queen can perpetrate being a Luxe Lady. For anything you do AT HOME, don't be afraid to go for the bargains at the drugstore. Use $4.99 Cetaphil to wash your face, $7.99 Oil of Olay to moisturize, L'oreal and all the other drugstore lines for your face and eyes.

BUT.

When it comes to your powder and your lips, GO FOR THE GOLD, because these are the things that you carry out with you into public to reapply. Whip out that Chanel Compact to apply a Dior lip gloss. No one will know the better.

Of course, just don't do it right at the table. You're still a lady.

clé de peau BEAUTÉ Lip Compact

Updated Oct 16, 2007

1st to recommend

Description

cle de peau's luxury lip compact (it's $65!) makes your lips pout puffier than if they had been injected with botox, stung by bees, or naturally blessed like Angelina Jolie. The "technology" works by focusing "light" on the center of the lips.

shu uemura gloss lacquer

Updated Oct 11, 2007

Description

Though the fall season is all about the return of lipstick, I am an eternal gloss whore. Shu Uemura's ultra, high-impact lip lacquer delivers a vivid, yet sheer pop of color with an intense gloss finish. I love that a demure shade like Invincible Pink paired with a high-impact gloss finish creates a paradoxical finish to the lips.

Sohum Madagascan Vanilla Lip Balm

Updated Sep 29, 2007

Description

I am dry, dry DRY. From straw-like hair to desert dry complexion to...flake-tastic chapped lips (might have to do with my not drinking enough water, if ANY at all). I am a lip balm whore. I just picked up Sohum Lip Balm at Fred Segal in Madagascan Vanilla and it is deliciously soft, smooth, and has only a hint of vanilla, so I don't feel like I'm eating a cupcake every time I lick my lips.

Benefit Cosmetics Brightening Face Primer

Updated Sep 28, 2007

1st to recommend

Description

i have only recently been turned on to the wonder of primer - HOW WAS I WEARING MAKEUP WITHOUT PRIMER BEFORE?!?!

benefit's "that gal" is a light primer that has a super subtle sheen in the formula that "fixes" the complexion without a thick cover-up. it's a great way to set a base before putting the rest of the goo on.

Neutrogena Build-A-Tan Sunless Tanning Lotion

Updated Sep 24, 2007

Description

Yes, it's turning into the cooler months with fewer, weaker rays from the sun.

SO WHAT? You were wearing a 6" brimmed hat, SPF 250, and long sleeves all summer anyway, right?

Fall and winter is the better time to sport a sunless tan. In summer, you just look orange against all those other people who have natural, pre-cancer tans. However, in the winter, you stand out against all the pasty pale white skin.

Neutrogena Build-a-Tan is what I use now, and even though it smells weird (no matter what people tout as a "light, pleasant odor," know that it stanks), it works to build your tan over the course of a few days, and it's just as good, if not better, than department store lines that cost four times as much.

Listerine Whitening Quick Dissolving Strips

Updated Sep 13, 2007

Description

For a drugstore/grocery store whitening product, Listerine Whitening Strips has to be the easiest. It's similar to the Crest Whitestrips, in that stick something to your teeth. However, Listerine Strips are JUST the whitening product, which eventually dissolves, so there's no plastic piece that's left on your teeth.

Mario Badescu Botanical Facial Gel

Updated Aug 22, 2007

Description

This non-soap, non-foaming, gel cleanser is deep cleansing and refreshing for oily skin. Unfortunately, I don't have oily skin. My skin is as dry as the Sahara. However, if I were shining my way into the day, this would be a great cleanser because it removes make-up, dirt and oil thoroughly without over drying skin (which, actually, helps me out). Alpha Hydroxy formula helps prevent build-up that can cause blackheads and pimples because it exfoliates.

i have had this eyelash curler for more than five years - the same one - because it's that good. all i have to do is replace the inside piece whenever it wears out, er rather, gets too gacked up with eye makeup (and yes, i know you're not supposed to curl AFTER you apply mascara, but id do. deal with it).

even though i am mild- to severely allergic to chocolate, i am willing to take the risk of full-body hives coverage for lip ganache, which comes in an array of chocolate flavors - chocolate mousse, chocolate raspberry and other fruit, and my favorite, mocha latte.

there is of course, lemon mousse, but...why?
