Boyfriend in Your Pocket
The Pocket Rocket Lipglosses from Urban Decay ($19) crack me up. Is it weird that I want to give my mom one for Mother’s Day?
How Often Do You Get Your Hair Cut?
I must confess, I don’t do it as regularly as I should. I finally got it cut yesterday (see above!) for the first time since last June. YIKES! I blame it on laziness and the fact that it’s long, which means I can let it get scraggly without it bothering me too much. Now that I have bangs, though, I have to get better about scheduling regular trims.
How often do you cut your hair? Do you go in for regularly scheduled cuts or whenever it strikes your fancy?
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

P.S. That’s Prescriptives Guava Lipgloss and Papaya Lipcolor on my lips!
Prescriptives Guava Gloss: A New Way to Go Green
Who knew green lipgloss could be so wearable?
Kermit Bale may have known, but I sure didn’t. With Prescriptives Exhilarating Lip Gloss in Guava ($14.50), it actually IS easy being green.
It’s not easy being green… Or is it?
Guava gloss is limited edition and part of the Exhilaration collection, Prescriptives’ latest tropic-themed collection for cheeks, lips and eyes.

Urban Decay’s Get Baked Palette Gives Me the Munchies
Looking at Urban Decay’s Get Baked palette ($28), I can’t help but think of the summer after I graduated from college.
I had moved back home to live with my parents and brother, who at the time played guitar in a heavy metal band. His band mates — who were total stoners — stopped by the house daily. They’d arrive at the door with red, glassy eyes and always, ALWAYS had a case of the munchies.
The first thing Mom would always do was offer them something to eat. They’d say “yes,” of course, devouring whatever she put in front of them. Phrases like “Fried Spam is like a symphony in my mouth” would pepper the conversations.
Now, Urban Decay insists that “Get Baked” refers to the new palette’s bronzy summertime shades and not to the form of “herbal refreshment” my brother’s band mates enjoyed.
Sure, guys. Whatever you say. 🙂
Top (from left to right): 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Bourbon, Eyeshadow Primer Potion in Sin. Bottom (from left to right): Eyeshadows in Twice Baked, Half Baked, Flipside and Baked.
Get Baked comes packed with four eyeshadows (shimmery brown, bronze, teal and gold), a wee bottle of Eyeshadow Primer Potion in Sin (a shimmery champagne) and a travel-sized 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Bourbon (a shimmery brown).
This time of year we see a lot of colors like these, but I like the arrangement of this palette. The colors work well together, and you get everything you need in terms of creating an eye look.
