Why These New Items From Charlotte Tilbury's Pillow Talk Collection Will Sell Out ASAP

When the Queen herself, ahem, Charlotte Tilbury launched her Pillow Talk collection, it was touted to be a shade complementary to everyone’s skin tone. And the proof is in the pudding as one Pillow Talk product is sold every 10 seconds globally. That seems to be enough of a review for us to want to run to the store and grab every product in the line before it sells out. And now, these 4 new products have launched that we can’t seem to get enough of to achieve that sultry, signature rose-beige look.

How To Say ‘So Long’ To Dark Circles Under The Eyes

No one particularly enjoys looking like they’re tired, like actually really truly tired. One of the dead giveaways is puffy eyes or those murky hollowed out looking dark circles under your eyes that even a ton of concealer can’t hide. I encountered those monstrous circles recently when I took a long flight overseas to Singapore.

How Crayola Beauty Came Out With The Ultimate Makeup Throwback

Who doesn’t love a good walk down memory lane like when you were a kid playing around with your 64-count Crayola set laboring over whether to use burnt sienna or fuzzy wuzzy brown. The luxury of so many colors choices to choose from was almost overwhelming. Fast forward to your adulting years, and Crayola is back but with their very own makeup with the namesake Crayola Beauty.

Why BADgal BANG! Mascara Is Out Of This World

I’d like to think of myself as somewhat of a mascara aficionado. Why? I’ll tell you – when you’re Asian and have short, poker straight lashes, you’ll look for any solution to make your eyes pop a bit more. And I’ve tried it all – from lash extensions to fake lashes and even lash extension mascara, and yet I always come back to a standard mascara for everyday use. But there is nothing “standard” or basic about benefit’s new BADgal BANG! Mascara.

Brows are filled and shaped in a few easy strokes, then blended in with the spoolie brush, found at the opposite end of the pencil. The formula is easy to apply and blend, and comes in six colors.

An Eyeliner That Just Won’t Budge

I recently received a box, and when I opened it I was surprised to find an abundance of eyeliners in my fav formula.  I have long said that Estee Lauder is not just your mother’s cosmetic line anymore.  They have the best long-lasting makeup products out there.  Their double wear line is unbeatable for long wear.  Revlon has a the color stay line, and it’s good, but the double wear line is simply the best in my book.  It stays true to color, and more importantly for a long-lasting product, it is easy to apply.
