Ladies, it is official: I am insane. There is definitive proof that there’s something wrong with me. You see, when most people open a tube of mascara and see a shade of garish pink found only on feather boas, they have no trouble walking away. Not me! I squeal, “How avant-garde!” and happily truck my [...]

It’s pretty clear to most everyone that Miss Winehouse needs a makeover, both of her looks and her life. (Insert obligatory “Rehab” joke here) But does anyone have anything constructive to say? Not to worry, Amy: Bunny’s here to help, not bash. See my mad Photoshop skills? That’s what Amy might look like if I [...]

What’s the hottest hairstyle in Hollywood today? Simple: big, loose curls. But for everyday, this hairstyle can look a little too polished. A slightly unkempt hairstyle like Kate Hudson’s over there is more wearable around town and still cute enough for an impromptu date with the Starbucks guy. Here’s how to style it [...]

The mineral makeup craze is booming! Let’s try out the new rating system on Maybelline Mineral Power Natural Perfecting Concealer.
coverage: 5/5
For a drugstore product, I was impressed. This baby blotted out my dark undereye circles with the greatest of ease!
texture: 3/5
While it was thick and matte, the finish wasn’t amazing and was almost grainy-looking. [...]

Stripper-turned-screenwriter Diablo Cody (known as Brook Busey-Hunt to the Social Security Administration) won an Oscar for Writing Best Original Screenplay at the Academy Awards last night. Based on her Red Carpet look and the fact that she rejected the opportunity to wear Stuart Weitzman’s $1 million shoes, I’m guessing her stylist overdosed on Quaaludes before [...]

The Academy Award for Achievement in Makeup has gone to La Vie En Rose artists Didier Lavergne and Jan Archibald. Yayy! I have to say I agree after seeing Marion Cotillard on the red carpet before the show - she looks worlds different from her role as Edith Piaf. And by the way - [...]

I got Maybelline’s new Define-A-Lash in #601 Very Black and I’m trying a new makeup rating system for mascaras, so check it out:
lengthening: 5/5
Wow! Define-A-Lash made my eyelashes look a half-inch longer.
separating: 4/5
My lashes were well-defined, but the mascara didn’t find all of them. Try this instead: L’Oreal Paris Telescopic Mascara
curling: 5/5
An unexpected [...]

A common habit for ladies who are running low on their favorite mascara is to “pump” the brush in and out of the tube to get more mascara on the brush. Stop doin’ it! This actually pushes air into the tube and dries your mascara out. Before you know it, you’ll have a clumpy mess [...]

In the March issue of W magazine, Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman went dark and vampy with goth-style makeup to promote their new film, The Other Boleyn Girl. Some snarky internet ladies who won’t be named have criticized Scarlett’s look in the shoot, but I love it! This is an excellent example of how to [...]

My Chanel foundation has turned me into a snob. I tried Rimmel’s new and improved version of Lasting Finish 16 HR Foundation with Minerals, fully expecting it to suck just because it’s from the drugstore. What’s happened to me? I used to be so open-minded…well, that and cheap. But this product managed to surprise me! [...]
