So I’ve had two colored mascaras run-ins: one pink and horrifying, and one blue and mediocre. Still, you guys know I can’t resist colorful and slightly drag-queeny makeup, so I haven’t given up on my search for a decent-looking one. Almay’s Intense I-Color line holds several options, but I picked the shade in Play Up [...]

Clinique’s appeal has always been heightened by their famous gifts with purchase. Who can resist? All you’ve gotta do is buy what you came for, and voila! You come out the other side with a whole new batch of products to try, which as you may have guessed, is one of the Bunny’s weaknesses. [...]

Every girl’s got one. Here’s the stuff I just won’t make it through 2008 without:
1. Too Faced Pink Leopard Bronzing Powder: have you SEEN this?? It’s too adorable!! Playful patterns are in, and I’ve got a weakness for leopard!
2. The Art of Makeup by Kevyn Aucoin: I already own the late artist’s book Face Forward, [...]

fer·rule (feh-rool) n. The usually metal-plated part of a makeup or cosmetics brush directly below the bristles that secures the hair bundle and attaches to the brush’s handle. Though the word is derived from the Latin word for “iron”, popular makeup brand M·A·C’s ferrules are nickel-plated.

Growing up in Florida and tanning easily, I found that keeping my summer glow meant UVA and UVB galore. I’ve learned now that although I didn’t get punished with losing the top layer of my shoulders like my paler friends, the consequences could be a lot worse(and yes, I’m talking about skin cancer). So I’ve [...]

World-famed fashion designer Valentino Garavani, pioneer of the respected fashion house Valentino, has retired. He showed his final collection for Spring 2008 Wednesday night. Valentino has been a tour de force in couture for 45 years. Despite Valentino’s age (he is seventy-five years old), he has been encouraged by fellow hauttie Karl Lagerfeld to reconsider [...]

Organic products are hot right now, and the trend isn’t limited to makeup and skincare. Starring…! Fragrances has a new line of all-natural perfumes, and they were kind enough to provide me a tester. The line, created by actresses and sisters Ashley and Courtney Peldon, features elegant fragrances in gold-capped bottles and complements any eco-conscious [...]

It’s this amazing triumph when I can cross a department-store makeup item off my wishlist, and this weekend’s purchase was no exception. I’ve lusted after Chanel Teint Innocence for months after reading some “Go Natural But Still Look Hot!”-type rave in Allure magazine that mentioned it as the end-all, be-all in youthful foundation. Since then, [...]

Are you sick of your rough, calloused feet? Of course you are! It’s no secret women want every (and I mean every) part of their bodies to be soft and pretty. Unfortunately, your feet are at the bottom of the barrel, and most of us ignore them till they feel [...]

Okay, I know it’s the middle of January, but I need some time to choose my New Year’s resolutions. I can’t just make decisions for the whole year in one day! Here’s what I want out of my looks this year:
