There seems to be every possible option for lips in a drugstore. Thousands of shades, tons and tons of different brands and formulas…Matte, sheer, gloss, stains, HOW DO WE CHOSE?! I poked around, used 5 or 6 and wanted to highlight a few. Ultimately, I think we could probably pick 20 different options and review them front to back but we’ll focus on a small handful today! To clarify, I LOVE long-wears, I love matte lipsticks and I generally don't settle on a lipgloss alone. L

Welcome to February. ...to the semi-end of winter, ...to the saddest month of the year for us Seattleites, (RIP Superbowl 49) ...and to MUWM DRUGSTORE MONTH. THE WHY: For years, I've worked for multiple cosmetic lines which exposed me to a TON of Dept. store brands early-on. While I will always love some of those products that hooked me years ago, I've still got bills that have gotta be paid and don't always want to spend SO much on fancy cosmetics. After running into one or

I say I’m obsessed with a lot of products…and I am. But this new Velvet lip-liner from NARS?!? I can’t. It’s too good. Allow me to introduce you to my favorite new lip product: It’s LONG-WEAR. Hello!! These babies go on, and they STAY on. Most liners help your lipstick from feathering or bleeding. Keyword: help. But the way this Velvet lip liner is made, it literally won’t bleed or feather, ever. So that fancy new fall-shade that you’ve picked up won’t end up moving around y

Well…its arrived: the time to bid adieu to those corals and pinks in your makeup bag and banish them to that special bottom-drawer in your bathroom until next summer. I hate it, but it’s gotta happen. Fall has a lot to offer us this year so thankfully, we’ve got plenty to look forward to when it comes to makeup. Richer tones, lots of smoky deliciousness and bold pops of color that’ll make people ask you… “What the blank is different about you?!” Eyes: This fall, it’s all abou

My phone blows-up daily with questions from friends, family, and randos asking me which products they REALLY need, and which ones they can actually skip. I love it! But to save everyone a little time, I compiled a list of my Spring 2014 Must-Have Items!! For anyone needing to know how to update their makeup bag for Spring, Voila. Screen shot this list, save it, and take it to the Drugstore, Dept Store, your Family BBQ, etc. What? Idk. Use this bad-boy to add any new goodies t

What you need to know right up front: 1. I love the look of lipstick; Dark, light or in-between. 2. I like looking alive. 3. I HATE having to maintain a strong lip-color when I commit to one. Now that we're clear...you'll understand why these babies SPEAK MY LANGUAGE. These Revlon Colorburst Balmstains and Matte Balms are UHmazing. Not only do they pack great pigment, but since they're a stain, they last! No seriously. They LAST. I never thought that a big, fat, twist-up cray

Stop what you're doing. Scrolling? Stop. Eating? Hurry it up. Driving? Pull-over. Or better yet...drive to a drugstore right now. If you've got $2 and some change, you can pick up one of my favorite long wear lipsticks of all time. Never in my WILDEST dreams would I guess that Wet N Wild would produce a lip color that I'd love SO much. Never. Let me give it to you straight: You apply this, you wear it, and it STAYS. All freaking day. With a matte finish, I fully expected to h
