We're a beauty sampling subscription box that sends you 5 deluxe samples from our favorite brands every month for $12. We're constantly on a quest to find the perfect lipstick.
1. Of course you know Bey’s new album is fierce and her style is fly, but here’s a little reminder. [the cut]
2. Would you be excited if someone bought you plastic surgery for Christmas? Because that’s a thing. [elle]
3. Interested in rocking a bob, but scared of chopping off your hair? You can have the best of both worlds! [makeup]
4. Patience (and a late birthday) pays off! Sephora’s next birthday gift is a pretty package from Make Up For Ever. Jealous, much? [slashed beauty]
5. Chanel put on a problematic fashion show featuring lots of Native American cultural appropriation, and sort of apologized, but not really. And more folks don’t see why it was an issue. Womp. [fashionista]
6. YSL might have the BB cream to end all BB creams. [dulce candy]
7. Ready for a shock? You might be surprised to learn about your man’s beauty spending habits. [beauty world news]
8. We are absolutely in love with this light-hearted candy cane tutorial. Makeup is more than pretty— it can be downright hilarious. [youtube]
9. Stamping is a pretty and subtle option for ladies who aren’t interested in obvious eyeliner. [the beauty department]
10. Sometimes a luxe stocking stuffer is the only gift you need! Need some some pretty recommendations? [my newest addition]
The kids should be out of school soon and the temperature is rising…summer is definitely upon us! Here are some essential products and suggestions that will keep you looking cool, calm and collected as summer 2012 heats up!
BB Cream:
Short for “Beauty Balm” or “Blemish Balm,” this combination treatment/moisturizer/makeup is the perfect product for healthy summer skin; it’s nourishing, soothing, correcting and hydrating…and also doubles as a lightweight foundation. While some come without SPF, I would recommend the SPF-positive versions like Boscia B.B. Cream with SPF 27 PA ++ and Stila Stay All Day 10-in-1 HD Beauty Balm.
