Have you ever tried felt-tip eyeliner? Do you ever stray from the kohl pencil? I find I’m more of a liquid liner fan – because of color payoff – and I love combined vibrancy and control you can get with a felt-tip liner! As part of its 2012 product launch, Milani has come out with the …

You may have noticed that yesterday I said that I have a hard time labeling a pink shade ”unique” because pink is one of the most popular and manipulated polish colors. But let me show you swatches of Jessica’s Heavy Petal Spring 2012 Collection. Pink and purple are both taken to a new level in this six-piece …

I’ve been gone for a little while, I know. So much going on! I don’t even have a picture to put at the top of the post! The date of my last Beauty Loser update was the date I started a new role at work. I’ve thrown myself into it, loving it, and I’ve been …
