The Highlighting Power of Rosebud Salve
We all know the famous Smith’s Rosebud Salve, the famed multi-purpose medicating machine in the pretty tin can. You can use it on your lips, on your skin, and on your diaper rash. It’s always sold right by the cashiers at Sephora with all of the other beauty musts, like the Shu Uemura eyelash curler. It’s an American classic.


However, you may be underestimating the true power of your tin of Rosebud. While it’s pretty on the outside, and pretty on your lips (maybe not so much on your diaper rash…), it’s also a very pretty highlighter. While droves of makeup addicts have long been spending heaps of cash on Benefit’s High Beam or MAC’s Strobe Cream and other facial equivalents to blinding Christmas lights, the solution to your highlighting woes may be sitting in your purse.
Maximize Your Flirty Fringe with Rimmel The Max Volume Flash Mascara
Today Tabs refused to return my tube of Max Volume Flash Mascara ($7), and now we’re not talking…
When I offered to trade for some Sonia K., he turned his back to me, whipped out his iPhone, and sent me this text:
“Sonia = 2008, Rimmel = 3000-and-late.”
I suppose he was trying to say that Sonia K. had better watch her back if she hopes to keep the tabby cat drugstore beauty market happy because the competition got fierce! Rimmel’s been hitting product homers galore.

Tokidoki Perfetto Eyeliner in Donutella, and One Way to Wear Pink
What’s up, chica? How’s your day been? Rocking hard, I hope, like old school Van Halen (insert headbang [HERE]).
One of my favorite morning rituals lately involves a cup of green tea (with honey, YUM!) and your comments. This morning I was looking at the comments on Saturday’s Tokidoki Perfetto Liner post. Lots of us were brainstorming ideas for ways to wear Donutella, the funky pink liner in the pictures.
Can You Guess the MAC Blush?
Hint: it’s from the permanent collection.

When Was Your Last Haircut?
Crikey! I’m waaay overdue for a trim. My last run-in with a scissors was December, and now my layers are all out of whack.
The situation with my roots is even worse (three words: hella white hairs). I’d planned a trip to the salon next week, but my May astrology chart (yes, I’m serious) says I should postpone any big physical changes until after Mercury comes out of retrograde… I know, I know — it’s kinda kooky to base styling decisions on planetary alignments, but Susan Miller rarely lets me down. 🙂
What about you? When was your last haircut?
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Bobbi Brown Made Treatment Lip Shine a Lippie Triple Threat
Back in my musical theater days, I wasn’t one of those people who could do it all — sing, dance AND act. They existed, though, little jacks and jills of all trades on the stage, and we called them triple threats!
