Have You Ever Been a Beauty Bandit?
A bandit who likes to steal makeup from drugstores is back after a six-month hiatus. Dubbed the “Blue Basket Bandit,” the thief, who police believe to be this man, has walked out of various Arizona Walgreens stores with an estimated $10,000 in beauty products!
Daaamn! That’s a lot of Q-tips. 🙂
Putting aside the irony of the bandit potentially being a man, I knew girls in grade school who “liberated” lip balms from their drugstore oppressors, which begs the question…

I’m Matte as Hell about MAC Riveting Nail Lacquers!!!
For a good time, call 
1-800-GO-MATTE. 🙂
LOL! So, last night I decided to play around with MAC’s three new Riveting matte Nail Lacquers ($12), but they turned out to be more trubs than I bargained for.
Both Black Enough? and Wham, Bam, Glam were crazy thick and streaky, but I liked how they looked after three coats. Three coats, though… That’s probably more patience (they say it’s a virtue!) than I have. I prefer my polishes easy like Saturday/Sunday morning.
Of these, the star 
for me is definitely sparkly Studded. It goes on smooth and glimmers like a galactic exploding disco ball, BAM!
MAC Riveting Has My Undivided Attention
Happy weekend eve, ladies. How was your Friday? Mine was tops until I picked up a wee cold. 🙁
Didn’t stop me from playing with makeup, though (few things ever do!). 🙂 I wanted to show you a few items from the upcoming MAC Riveting collection which arrives on counters next Thursday. I’ve got one or two more detailed lip and nail swatch posts planned; this one’s just a quick look.

Should You Make an Appointment with Physicians Formula Organic Wear Eye Makeup Remover Pads?
Today I had one important question for my can of Physicians Formula Organic Wear Eye Makeup Remover Pads ($7): Is the doctor in the house?
Seriously, this can has *so many* good things going for it I don’t know where to start!
This might just be me, but I get an outdoorsy girl vibe from the packaging, like a gang of cute ponytailed camping chicks trekking through the woods wearing waterproof mascara and gloss. Fo’ reals, it emanates waves of potential drugstore beauty greatness. I mean $7? Dressed like that? Are you kidding me!?
So what stands out when I look at the can? How about all of the ingredients the pads DON’T contain. Physicians Formula left out the harsh chemicals and synthetic preservatives, colors and fragrances, and they did it without animal testing. Yup, they’re even cruelty-free (Tabs approved).
As for the pads…
Made from 100% natural, biodegradable fabric, they feel velvet soft against my eyelids, and the lavender scent soothes my savage beast.
All the right ingredients for a fantastic, blow-your-mind drugstore product, right?
