Q&A

Describe your blog in one sentence:
Beauty webzine dedicated to no-nonsense and truthful product reviews and musings.

Proudest blogging moment:
Having celebrity makeup artist Billy B email me to thank me for stalking him in my "stalker" series.

Blog post you regret:
I did a product review of an eyecream that I really liked and shall remain nameless, anyway they were giving away full size samples but there was a hook - you had to give them your credit card. Well long story short, if you didn't read the fine print and cancel within a certain amount of time you were automatically charged and shipped products. I was horrified, many readers were super pissed off at me for recommending a product that had such a shady policy.

Your top 5 beauty must-have items:
1. LipFusion (original)
2. Scott Barnes Flossy Glossy (addictive...)
3. Nars The Multiple (any shade will do)
4. Purity Made Simple
5. Dior Diorshow Waterproof Mascara in black.

Blog that doesn’t exist that you wish did:
HA! Two things: I am also a foodie and a cheeseaholic so...I wish there was a blog about annoying Food Network Personalities (Sandra Le...c'mon..)

I wished for a cheese blog and I found one:

Best beauty advice:
Wash your face. I see women all the time that ask me why they have so many breakouts and the first thing I ask is, "How do your take your makeup off at night..." 90% of them say they sleep in their makeup. Wash you face honey...

What are your favorite pair of shoes?
Oh wow...too may to mention but my favorites are these wedge sandals, I don't actually know who makes them because the label has worn off I wear them so much (I think they may be Charles David)!! I got them at Nordstom Rack, I love wedges just about any kind will do.
