A mostly funny blog about my quest for happiness through authenticity, Great Danes and indiscriminate swearing

-
OVERTONE: I freakin love this stuff. Overtone is a conditioner that colors your hair a little at a time. You can layer it on every day for a drastic change or once a week for a tint touch-up. It's seriously amazing AND it's good for your hair!
-
NARS blush in Orgasm tint is the absolute perfect natural, neutral color for practically every skin tone.
-
NAILS INC has an amazing array of colors and and nail conditioners that last a looooong time.
-
POREFESSIONAL primer by BENEFIT, I especially love the Pearl version. I have pores so big you could lose a kitten in them so this is a pretty important part of my beauty regimen.
-
MAC Strobe Cream - it's a moisturizer that also makes you glow like a pearl. Subtle but powerful. I don't ever wear foundation because it grosses me out so I wear this instead. Goes right on top of the vital Professional Primer.
-
URBAN DECAY eyeshadow primer potion anti-aging formula. Comes in a regular formula too, for you young 'uns. If you put this on underneath your eyeshadow, you never have to worry about creasing or fading.
-
NARS lip pencil in Cruella. It's a really great red -- not too bright, not too creepy. It's matte but isn't as drying to my old lady lips as most mattes are.
