05.23.10L’Oreal Roller Perfecting Makeup & Go 360 CleanI recently got the chance to try out some new L'Oreal products, like the True Match Roller Perfecting Roll On Makeup. Have you seen the commercials? It's the very first foundation with a roller applicator! It gives you even coverage with air brushed finish--like roller painting your face! Which would be ok, but I know you're suppose to use a new sponge applicator every time you apply makeup, so this application seems pretty unsanitary to me. You're suppose to use that same roller thing EVERY time? Ew. That said, I actually like this makeup on it's own. I ditched the ...

Shield yourself from the sun's rays by following these helpful tips from Women’s Health. Protect From Inside Out - Sun damage causes free radicals, which all edible antioxidants fight.

04.27.10Leigh Lezark’s Beauty TipsHave you ever wondered what was in Leigh Lezark's makeup bag? I have but I am super nosy like that! But apparently a lot of other people are too because I found a plethora of information about it! Leigh told Elle UK that she doesn’t always have the best skin care regime and sometimes even sleeps with her makeup on. (Yet, she still wakes up with flawless skin. Damn her.) She tries to make up for it by using an exfoliator and cleansing masks once or twice a week. She uses Rare Earth Deep Pore Cleansing Masque by Kiehl’s. On ...

03.31.10Elta MD UV Physical SPF 41I shudder to think of the countless hours I spent baking in the sun at my grandparent's pool during high school. My grandpa would always ask me if I had sunscreen on, since he'd had skin cancer. I would always lie and say yes when all I had on was some Hawaiian Tropic oil with an SPF of like 3. I was a shithead. I've learned. I really try to use sunscreen on my face daily, and I don't lay out in the sun anymore. However, finding the right sunscreen is complicated and confusing. UVA? SPF? Physical? Chemical? Photostable? And ...
