Back When CDs Ruled the world

I’m feeling ’90s music nostalgia best now. It should be a side effect of carrying around a little black backpack again. I’ve been listening to some old songs I haven’t heard in literally decades. Funny how you can not hear a song for years but still know the lyrics… ADVERTISEMENT I always thought Trent Reznor seemed like a amazing guy. Gather up your jackets; relocation it to the exits. Holla if you know who Alanis wrote this song about! I wonder if this man ever managed to get some air? All malls looked like this one back in the day....

FOTD: unintentionally ’80s Copper and Purple

Dreaming of Duran Duran?! I blame all of the talk about Duran Duran in the Monday Poll comments on this makeup. I was going for colorful and modern with copper and plum lids, but I think I may have ended up unintentionally recreating the ’80s instead. WHOOPS! ? ADVERTISEMENT (While we’re at it, would someone please pass me a pair of big-@ss shoulder pads and a bottle Aqua Net, STAT?) That’s the urban Decay naked Ultraviolet palette on my lids again, by the way. Marcia asked in the comments last week what I think of it, and ya know…I have...

Havana oh-nah-nah Good morning, my friend! Here’s another look at one of my favorite MAC eyeshadows of all time, extra dimension Eyeshadow in Havana. It’s a deliciously beautiful brown that I think you’ll love. I’ve worn it for years and still love it just as much as ever.

I had to run errands, and I wasn’t about to spend 45 minutes on my makeup just to purchase some Charmin, so I...

Sundays With Tabs the Cat, makeup as well as beauty blog Mascot, Vol. 698

Girl, I hope you have your cats treats ready! You don’t want to be unprepared for national like Your Pet Day, which was today, BTW. Now, I want to state that both Tabs as well as Rosie would have clawed my eyes out if I ever failed to remember such an important event, however I’ve been lucky to help for two borderline obnoxiously loving cats, so if I’d ever seemed to fail to remember a day like today, they would have just smothered me with kitty hugs as well as biscuits up until I easily remembered. ADVERTISEMENT Here’s the thing...

Sundays With Tabs the Cat, makeup as well as appeal blog Mascot, Vol. 696

Roar! Did you hear that…? It was the phone call of the jungle, a phone call that Tabs responded to rather often. ADVERTISEMENT To the unassuming passerby, Tabs may have looked just like a routine old housecat, however inside he had the heart of a lion. He fancied himself as the King of the Jungle. There were a few occurrences — some may phone call them skirmishes — where he had a power play with a lion or two on set, however thankfully since of my remarkable settlement skills, I was able to take things down a few notches, as...

MAC Prim & proper and dupes

Ahh, this blush. THIS BLUSH. I love it, and I hate it.  Well, I mainly hate the fact that I didn’t buy a back-up of it.  It’s not the blush’s fault. but the love I have for it… yes, I want to marry it. It was part of MAC give Me liberty of London collection from 2010.  MAC’s official shade description is “neutral nude” which really downplays how nuanced the colour is. It’s a shimmering bronze nudey shade, yet it’s got a plummy-ness to it as well.  It registers as both warm and amazing tone on the skin, depending on...

Untrieds: Pixi limitless Silky Eye Pen

Today, I’m examining a just recently obtained product – you may recall that I gotten this during Targetgate™, together with a few Sonia Kashuk goodies.  The Pixi Endless Silky Eye Pen retails for $12.00 (1.2g) as well as is a Target special brand right here in Canada.  Once Target stores closes here, I’m not sure if Pixi will be offered in a bricks as well as mortar store right here anymore. This liner comes in a elegant box.  I don’t believe I’ve seen one more drugstore brand that offers pencil eyeliners in boxes. The pencils are all housed in a light eco-friendly casing, with...
