Should You Be Sweet on Rimmel’s Royal Gloss?

by 17 Comments

This one’s for my fellow typography hounds. I had my latest You know you’re a font nerd… moment the other day when I laid eyes on the scripty font on these here tubes of Rimmel Royal Gloss ($7 each).

Isn’t it cute? I’ve been trying to track it down, but no luck yet.

I have two of the 10 new shades, Sweet Lust (the shimmery pink) and Candy Rush (the shimmery coral), and I think both of them are aptly named because, daaaang, they’re sweet! They take the phrase, “Give mama some sugar,” to a whole new level.

Zoe Saldana: Her Best Hair?

by 13 Comments

One of my favorite parts about going to the movies is seeing the trailers before the flick. At Hot Tub Time Machine last week I caught a trailer for an upcoming action movie called The Losers, which stars actress Zoe Saldana.


Zoe, Tabs and some other dude star in Avatar…

I’m a little burnt out on action movies, but if she’s in it, I’m there.

Born Zoe Yadira Zaldaña Nazario on June 19, 1978, Zoe’s ballet background helped her snag her first big screen role in 2000’s Center Stage. The rest is history!

Which of Zoe's hairstyles do you like best?

Next Stop: Essie Resort 2010 and Nail Polish Paradise

by 62 Comments

Wowee, wow, WOW! Not only did Essie’s new Resort 2010 collection knock my socks off, but then it picked them up and ran away. 🙂 I mean, I usually like the things Essie comes out with, but I haven’t been this stoked about one of their releases since Neon 2008 (I still le sigh when I see Bermuda Shorts).


Splash of Grenadine

OOH! The four-piece Resort collection takes me and my nails down to the spa with colors that remind me of tropical vacations, but not in the way that tropical-themed nail polish collections usually do. These shades aren’t your average beachy corals and hot pinks. Essie Founder and President Essie Weingarten went with these creamy bad boys, drawing inspiration from the chic vacationers who stay at Ritz Carltons and tan on private beaches in luxe island style.


Turquoise & Caicos

Not only did Essie hit the right color notes, but she rocked a flawless formula, too. I think all four of these shades are super easy to use.

Have You Tried Any of These MAC Technakohl Liners?

by 53 Comments

I’ll just come out and say it: I love the MAC Technakohl liners ($14.50).

They glide like skates on my waterline and stay put all day long. I’ve been using two of them pretty much nonstop for a month, Graphblack and Brownborder, so when I stopped by a MAC Pro Store last week I decided to grab a few more: Smoothblue (a shimmery ocean blue), Earthline (a shimmery grayish brown) and Uniform (a khaki green with golden pearl).
