It wasn’t really a conscious effort. I started out with a makeup bag full of high-end makeup products that you can buy through Sephora, and I’ve ended this year with a makeup bag full of drugstore brands. These makeup products would NOT remain in my bag if if they didn’t do the job I needed [...]
There’s something about the holidays approaching that makes you crazy for glitter and all things shiny. Do you know what I mean or am I just crazy? I’m really into metallic eye shadow right now, and have been quenching my sparkle thirst with gold. It matches everything and puts a twinkle in my eye.
It has been a year since I colored my hair, which is a LONG time in Alex hair terms. The past year I had the cool ombre look, but mostly because I was trying to avoid further hair damage and save some money by growing my color out. Well, last week I finally broke down [...]
The look of shiny, glossy eyeshadow has appeared on runways and in fashion magazines for a long time now, but I’ve never seen it executed in a “day look.” I’m really curious as to how to do it because I think a shiny ivory or champagne color could be very pretty. Does anyone out there [...]

I’m a big fan of dry shampoo, especially using my new favorite product Pssssst for Wavy and Curly Hair. I had used the original formula, and had thought it was so-so. I preferred to use Batiste because I thought it smelled better. Well, that was until Psssst came out with one formulated for curly hair. [...]
I’m a long time user of MAC paint pots, but recently decided to switch to Urban Decay’s Eyeshadow Primer because I’m a person that likes change and trying new things. So, which product do I like best? Well, let’s break it down… Urban Decay’s primer costs $19.00 at Ulta, which is more expensive that MAC’s [...]
