Estee Lauder matte bronzer compact
Estee Lauder bronzer
» Makeup Bag shows Estee Lauder’s “Bronze Goddess Summer” collection. I prefer their “Los Angeles Natives Assume I’m Out of Town SPF 69″ collection.
» A Touch of Blusher loves collecting pretty foundation cases. Sounds like my collecting dilettos. Only boring.
» All About the Pretty found an eye pencil that makes her look wide awake: Three Custom Clarifier Eye Pencil. I prefer a triple while Starbucksing. A beauty blog should splash it on their face and tell me how it goes.

» SugarShock Beauty is dousing herself in Kenzo’s new summer fragrance.
» TheMakeupGirl shares how to switch your skincare routine for warm weather. How’s that? I only do one look: too much black eyeshadow, highlighter, three coats mascara, blush, naked lips.
» WELOVEBEAUTY.com is excited about Kate Lee’s and Mark Townsend’s Genius Awards from ELLE magazine.
» Lipstick, Powder ‘n Paint is giving away a Mally Beauty “Perfect Palette” total face kit. Great, I love watching facials.
» Product Girl tells you which microdermabrasion product lets you customize your level of exfoliation.

Hmm? Too many multi-syllabic words in a Allurese.

What Your K Is…

Wanting.

Life’s too short to be bored at a party. Or the office…

/

Wearing.

Warms against your skin, goes from obvious cool to sensual…

/

Hating.

A buck-fifty for a thrift store knock-off made in China…

What Your K Is…

26.Feb.2008, 10:52 am

Wanting.

A drip of midnight blue balances out the possibly too pink of the rosettes…

Wearing.

I like nails nude, so my fingers just look longer. I wonder if it’ll extend my reach…

Hating.

What no one, what nothing should be: neither pretty nor useful…
