Those Kardashian sisters are certainly entrepreneurial. I’ll give ’em that.

Here’s a gloss from their new Khroma Beauty makeup line, available now at Ulta and CVS.

  • Has a non-sticky, thin texture and formula
  • Smells and tastes like honey
  • Only lasts about an hour on my lips
  • Comes with a doe-foot applicator
  • Very sheer
  • Quite hydrating

DAILY BEAUTY: Total Tabby Domination!

July 2nd, 2013 by Karen 10 Comments

In the event you were worried that there weren’t enough puzzles out there for cat ladies, I assure you, there are. 🙂

Tabs would like you to please note the abundance of striped tabby cats in these pictures.

Of course, my favorite is the marmalade disco ball party cat…

Hello, he’s wearing a jaunty cap!

DAILY BEAUTY: A Few Drugstore Beauty Shower Stars I’ve Been Loving Lately From Neutrogena, Dove, Jason, Gud and Aveeno

June 29th, 2013 by Karen 23 Comments

Just some shower products I’ve been using and loving lately…

Dove’s Go Fresh Restore Body Wash in Blue Fig & Orange Blossom ($6) smells amaze-ering and lathers into a frothy bunch o’ bubbles. Totally wakes me up in the morning, too.

And when I shower at night, like after a workout, I’ve been using Jason Calming Lavender Pure Natural Body Wash ($7). It’s not as foamy as Dove’s Go Fresh, but the lavender fragrance totally chills me out and helps me wind down for the night.

I like that Aveeno Positively Smooth Shave Gel ($4.29) rinses clean and doesn’t get my razor all goopy. And they recently changed the packaging so that it no longer leaves a rust ring if you leave it in your shower, hooray!

On days when I conditioner wash, I like Gud’s Red Ruby Groovy Conditioner ($7). It doesn’t weigh my hair down, and the scent smells like grapefruit gummies, om nom nom…

I also keep a tube of Neutrogena’s All-in-1 Daily Scrub ($7) in my shower and use it on my chin, which is my numero uno breakout zone. The scrub contains salicylic acid, which my skin responds well to. I’m on my second tube of this stuff because I love it that much.

Got any drugstore shower product recs for me? What have you been using and loving lately?

Girrrl, you know I love me some accessories. 🙂 And these limited edition $36 MAC Illustrated makeup bags look like works of art.

The black and white line drawings are the work of illustrator Anja Kroencke, and the colorful bags are by graffiti artist Indie 184.

I really like the Anja Kroencke one with the wavy hair and tears (not gonna lie, I kinda look like that sometimes!).

You can find all four bags exclusively at North American MAC stores for $36 each.

Chanel Les Delices de Chanel Collection 2

Chanel’s got a gorgeous new collection out called Les Delices de Chanel, with colors Coco characterizes as spring-inspired.

The release includes eight limited edition pieces for cheeks, lips and eyes in soft neutrals, pinks, aquas and violets.

The collection includes…

  • Joues Contraste Blush in 78 Delice (limited edition), $43
  • Ombres Fleuries Quadra Eye Shadow (limited edition), $60
  • Illusion D’Ombre in 90 Convoitise (limited edition), $36
  • Stylo Yeux Waterproof 77 Purple Berry (limited edition), $30
  • Rouge Coco Shine in 75 Melba (limited edition), $32.50
  • Rouge Coco Shine in 76 Gourmandise (limited edition), $32.50
  • Aqualumiere Gloss in 83 French Toffee (limited edition), $27
  • Aqualumiere Gloss in 82 Friandise (limited edition), $27

I’m SUPER STOKED about the two new Aqualumieres!

I was heartbroken when Chanel discontinued the line, and I’m still kicking myself for not buying backups of Candy Glow.

DAILY BEAUTY: Cargo’s Nassau Lip Gloss

June 24th, 2013 by Karen 17 Comments

Cargo Nassau Lip Gloss
Cargo Nassau Lip Gloss
Rockin’ Cargo’s Nassau Lip Gloss ($14), one of 18 shades available now at Ulta stores and online

Sheer, shimmery pink Nassau has a lot in common with another beauty from Cargo, Bourbon St. Non-sticky, smells like blackberries, and it lasts from 3-4 hours.

I think it looks super pretty with smokey eyes.

DAILY BEAUTY: Cargo’s Bourbon Street Lip Gloss

June 22nd, 2013 by Karen 12 Comments

Cargo Bourbon Street
Cargo Bourbon St
Here I’m wearing Cargo Bourbon St. Lip Gloss ($14), one of 18 Cargo Lip Shades available now at Ulta stores and online

Cargo’s Lip Glosses are supposed to last six hours, but I usually get from 3-4.

Other tidbits about Bourbon Street…

  • It’s a bright reddish coral with a cream finish
  • Non-sticky texture with a medium-weight formula (reminds me of a Chanel Glossimer)
  • Comes with a doe-foot applicator
  • Smells and tastes a little like blackberries (yum!)
  • Applies evenly on my lips and looks and feels smoooove…
  • It could use a little more moisture though (my lips are hella dry)
