Product Review: Biore Blemish Fighting Ice Cleanser

I’m always looking for a great facial cleanser, and this one does the trick in twenty different ways. It fights blemishes better than its Neutrogena or Clean and Clear counterparts, and the tingling icy feeling on your face is amazing. (As I’ve said before, I love products that feel like they’re doing something.) I [...]

Product Review: Redken Extreme AntiSnap Leave-In Treatment

I’m a hair abuser. I use light blonde color, flat iron, blow dry, highlight, and generally mortify my hair. So for me, a product like Redken Anti-Snap is a dream. Just wash and condition as normal, and then apply some of this to the length and especially ends of your hair. (I use about two [...]

Product Review: Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine Leave-In Serum

This is one of those products I’m always recommending, so I figured I should officially review it. Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine Leave-In Serum is a great all-in-one product for a good price: it reduces frizz, adds shine, and gives hair a generally polished look. One of the reasons I love it is that [...]

Makeup Review: L’Oreal True Match Liquid Makeup

Any time you can find a great drugstore foundation, it’s a good thing. Likewise, one that matches your skin well is even better. L’Oreal True Match Liquid Makeup is great for an inexpensive foundation. Use the shade matching swatches at the display (I wear Buff Beige) to find the shade best suited for you. [...]

Makeup Review: Victoria’s Secret Very Sexy Finishing Powder Duo

It’s hard to find a good powder - striking the balance between too thick and not enough coverage, too matte and too shimmery, and finding a color that matches your foundation are all common problems. That’s why I prefer powders like this, which use multiple colors to give you a natural results. Victoria’s Secret [...]

How-To: Apply Fake Eyelashes

This is an actual image of the Beauty Bunny herself on her glorious wedding day. Clearly, makeup was a huge consideration in the process, and I’m aware many girls have particular problems when trying to get fake eyelashes for a big event. I am normally satisfied enough with my mascaras themselves and my ability to [...]

Makeup Review: Bare Escentuals Bare Minerals Foundation

We’ve all heard about Bare Escentuals BareMinerals foundation - it’s a huge makeup trend. So of course, I had to test it out for myself.
The biggest thing about Bare Minerals is using it properly. Get yourself a big kabuki brush - it doesn’t have to be the Bare Escentuals brand one - and follow the [...]

How-to: Straighten Your Hair

Trends have definitely followed super-straight hair. Celebs like Reese Witherspoon and Rachel Bilson are seen sporting the style all the time, so I thought it’d be helpful to share some tips on getting it at home with no salon blowout and no split ends.
Step 1: Get a Chi. It is absolutely your best friend. I [...]

Product Review: Matrix Color.smart Conditioner

Most of you ladies probably have colored hair, and likely have also had your once brilliant color fade or look different from when you left the salon. I’ve got bad news for you - there’s no way around that. It’s just going to happen. The good news is, companies like Matrix make great products like [...]

How-To: Get Perfect Brows

Today I’m debuting a new section in which I will provide step by step beauty guides called, rather uncreatively, “How-To”. Today’s issue is on getting perfect brows at home - no spa or nail salon required!
Step 1: Start with a clean face and generally gnarly brows. Rinse your face with hot water to enlarge the hair follicles [...]
