Fab item of the day: Sonia Kashuk Flat blusher brush
After talking about this brush earlier today in my drugstore edition of 5 minute face, it’s only right I stress the awesomeness of this brush in its own post. It is seriously that great. The dense bristles are perfect for buffing in liquid foundation, and deposits color evenly without streaking. It has an ergonomic handle, [...]

Try this: Louboutin Nails
#makeupmonday Looking for a way to spice up your mani? If you’ve got the length, try the louboutin manicure, where you paint the underside of your nails a bright red. Definitely cheaper than their shoes. While you’re at it, if red isn’t your thing, this process works great with other color combinations as well as [...]
