5 Things I’ve Been Loving Lately
1. These gorgeous nude Sally Hansen Color Therapy nail colors I can’t decide what to wear for the next installment of Desperately Seeking Persistent Polish! Too many choices… I’m leaning toward dark burgundy Falling Deep, since I wore a pastel cream last week. What do you think? 2. MAC Cosmo Lipstick Busted this out for the first time in months and remembered why I love it so much. This neutral pink with a hint of brown is a lovely everyday lip color, and it looks amazeballs with brown and taupe eyeshadows! 3. Kim’s Convenience I found the best show on...
Sundays With Tabs the Cat, Makeup and Beauty Blog Mascot, Vol. 548
Katy Perry once sang that California girls are unforgettable. I think she also meant to say that California cats are unforgettable. Yes, Tabs is a Cali boy through and through, and he’s especially proud of his CA roots when the state flower, the California poppy, can be seen everywhere, including his newest favorite collar. He commissioned an award-winning botanist to create this for him, and as you can see, he’s all about authenticity. I had to do a double take because I thought he was wearing fresh flowers on his collar, which would also be a totally Tabs thing to...
The MAC Throwback Eye Shadows in Kid, Uninterrupted, Tete-A-Tint and Goldbit Are Available Meow
There are four pans of MAC Kid Eye Shadow sitting in my shopping cart, and I would normally consider this to be an excessive number of backups, buuuuut…lemme tell you why I think it’s a good idea in this case. This shade… It’s one of the four shadows in the MAC Throwback collection. See, MAC released a collection of formerly discontinued eyeshadows and lipsticks that they brought out of retirement, and it’s available on counters now. Kid is GREAT. Actually, all four of these shadows are so good that it leads me to wonder why the heck MAC ever nixed...
Sundays With Tabs the Cat, Makeup and Beauty Blog Mascot, Vol. 565
It’s official; we’re in the dog days of summer, which reminds me… Tabs was always down with the canines, even though it wasn’t always kosher within the feline community. A lot of people didn’t know this, but Tabs had a secret canine BFF. His name was Chorizo, and they lost touch when Tabs moved to France to attend Le Cordon Bleu culinary academy. Tabs also invested in several canine companies and held a majority ownership stake in KONG, makers of the classic dog toy. Also, to unwind after a rigorous day of kitty modeling, sometimes Tabs would have me drive...
Wearing the New MAC Aaliyah Collection (VIDEO REVIEW)
You know what I just realized? I just realized that I can tie different eras from my teens and 20s to Aaliyah’s music. Like, Jen, Cindy and I played Back and Forth so much in the summer before I left for college, and then in the spring of my senior year at Davis, Are You That Somebody was almost constantly on the radio whenever Eleanor, Mary Anne, Christine and I drove anywhere (In-N-Out after class, to the city late at night to go clubbing, house parties, the library, to go rollerblading all over town, to the gym). And then around...
