Reviews of cosmetics, fragrances, skincare and hair care products.

If you’re looking for anti-aging products, listen up. L’Oreal’s new Skin Genesis line makes use of the company’s own patented ingredient, Pro-Xylane, which aims to reduce fine lines and wrinkles by boosting the production of glycoaminoglycans within the skin. And if you’re not into the science of things - the Skin Genesis serum won Allure [...]

Described as “fresh and sexy,” Armani Code Pour La Femme is a fabulous fragrance. And what girl doesn’t love a little Armani?

Top notes: Blood orange, ginger, pear sorbet, jasmine
Middle notes: Orange blossom, Seringa flower, lavender
Base notes: Precious wood complex, vanilla

I smelled this on my best friend and instantly fell in love (with the scent, not [...]

For a fun and flirty scent, try Betsey Johnson’s Eau de Parfum Spray.

Top notes: Pear, grapefruit
Middle notes: Freesia, lily of the valley
Bottom notes: Praline, sandalwood

I found this gem while cruising the perfume department at Ulta, and it makes for a great fruity, everyday scent. The adorable bottle and my love for Betsey Johnson drew me [...]

I’ve finally jumped on the mineral makeup bandwagon: my favorite base of the moment is Raw Natural Beauty RAWMinerals Foundation and its companion, the maximum coverage foundation brush.
I got the foundation in Medium 1, and surprisingly, it matched my skin really well. I’m usually in the pale ivory whitest-of-the-white category, but not this time ( [...]

My fellow blogger Cailin recently hooked me up with a jar of RedPoint’s Airbrush Effects Blushwhip in Glow, a peachy-pink shade. At first glance I thought to myself, “this is going to get messy.” The crèmelike consistency of the product isn’t what I usually favor, but I’m not one to judge a product by its [...]

One of my favorite components to my daily beauty routine is the MAC Paint Pot. The product can be used either for color or for priming the eyelids before application of eyeshadow; I use it most often for the second instance, and it works wonders. I have mine in Painterly, a creamy nude beige color, [...]

Everytime I buy mascara, I tend to buy a different one. I am always looking for something better than the last. Sometimes I win, sometimes I lose; it’s a game of trial and error. This time, I decided to try out Telescopic by L’oreal in 910 Blackest Black, and felt a lot like Cailin did [...]

In continuing my search for the perfect summer lip gloss, I tried Palladio Herbal Lip Gloss in hope of finding the perfect shade of pink for the summer season. I have to say, this time I’ve gotten very close!
On a trip to Sally’s Beauty Supply, I was browsing in the cosmetics section when Palladio’s Herbal [...]

There are few greater joys in life for this beauty addict than the marriage of two of my greatest loves: Shu Uemura and heat styling. What more could a girl ask for?
Shu Uemura debuted the Art of Hair line this year, and included in the collection is the Satin Design White Tea Polishing Milk, [...]

Need a boost of confidence? Try out this modern fragrance: Hot Couture by Givenchy. (By the way, for girls having trouble at the perfume counter in the mall - Givenchy is pronounced jee-vahn-chay.) Raspberry dominates this fragrance, while magnolia, amber, bergamot, and pepper draw Hot Couture together to create a confident, cheerful and stylish scent. [...]

They say your hair is the first thing people notice about you, and nobody has great hair without great styling tools. I picked up the FHI Heat Nano Weight Pro 1900 Turbo Hair Dryer from the excellent selection of hair dryers at Misikko.com (which is sort of the new Folica), and I have to say [...]

With all of the chatter about makeup and hair at The Beauty Bunny, we don’t talk much about fragrances. Don’t you olfactory addicts worry - we’re showing some perfume love by instituting Fragrance Fridays to feature our fragrances of choice. Enjoy!
Described as a “cocktail of pink fruits and vanilla,” Vera Wang Princess is one of [...]

Makeup products seem to be getting a makeover themselves everyday, and the biggest trend comes in changing traditional application methods. Enter Terry de Gunzburg, creator of YSL’s superstar Touche Eclat Radiant Touch and founder of the high-end line By Terry. I was lucky enough to try By Terry’s Light Expert Foundation, and I’m happy to [...]

I’ve been trying a lot of tinted moisturizers lately because full coverage foundation simply feels too heavy for summer. I tried Stila’s Sheer Color Tinted Moisturizer in Light, since I’m a big fan of the brand in general and hoped it would measure up to You Rebel and Sugartint.
The color was a perfect match for [...]

So I just recently tried out another sunless tanner, so I’d thought I’d give an update for my last post “Self-Tanning: Nightmare or Dream Come True?”
This time I have tried out L’Oreal’s Sublime Bronze ProPerfect Airbrush Self-tanning Mist in Medium Natural Tan, and this is what I got out of it…
