Some of my makeup-minded blogger friends and I decided to start a series called “Makeup Wars“.  It’s not a WAR really, more of a friendly comparison of favorites.  Before any of us even uttered the word “GREIGE” we have all used that standby color:  TAUPE.  By definition, Taupe is a brownish gray shade.  Sounds drab, but the fact is we all have one.  What is perhaps most astonishing is how many other beauty bloggers share my favorite taupe!

Sneak peek, readers!  This summer, I’m planning on treating you to some spectacular swatches (a walk down makeup memory lane, if you will) that might actually save you some cash!  Let’s face it, most cosmetic consumers have a stash of product that has been forgotten or shelved in favor of the new.  How about saving some money for road-trips this Summer, and rifling through your old stash? 

Here’s a great example.  Spring and Summer 2012 is all about blue eye pencil, and if you’re a fan of Urban Decay the odds are very high you already own 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Binge (swatch above). [Read more…] about Binge Swatch, Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil

Each shadow is embossed with a repeating MAC logo at the top and a swirly wave at the bottom.  [Read more…] about MAC Extra Dimension Eye Shadow Collection
