New YSL Scent Will Sweep You Away
Posted by girlpaint | Filed under body, fragrance, gifts, perfume, wedding
Young, fresh, breezy, beautiful. Words that describe Yves Saint Laurent’s newest fragrance, Parisienne. Perfect for daytime wear or anytime you’re feeling a little — or a lot — romantic (can anyone say wedding?), Parisienne is reminiscent of its predecessor, Paris, and yet it’s distinctly different.

Best Concealer Ever is Actually Eye Shadow Primer? Yep.
Posted by girlpaint | Filed under anti-aging, concealer, eyelid, primer, skin care, wedding
I am LOVING Senna Cosmetics Totally Transforming Eye Shadow Primer. This anti-aging neutral cream eye shadow primer contains a potent vegetable ogliopeptide from natural hibiscus that functions in much the same way that Botox injections do, but without the pain and loss of facial expression! It not only helps firm and smooth the eyelid while minimizing lines and wrinkles, it’s THE perfect concealer.

Keep Your *Beautiful* Tan Year-Round with a Drugstore Bargain
Posted by girlpaint | Filed under anti-aging, bargain, body, skin care, wedding
I know I’ve been on a big L’Oreal kick lately, and guess what? It ain’t over. L’Oreal recently introduced their Sublime Bronze line, and I’m in love. My pale-skinned self can’t get enough of one self-tanner in particular, Luminous Bronzer. It’s touted as a lotion, but I’d call it more of a lotion-gel…or gel-lotion…whatever. It’s pretty awesome.

Never Get the Wrong Foundation Color Again
Posted by girlpaint | Filed under anti-aging, concealer, face, foundation, makeup, perfect pores, skin care, sun care, wedding
I’ve tried a plethora of goodies from Senna, each of which I’ll be reviewing soon. But, first up is a Senna best-seller, Mineral Mix Cover & Finish Foundation. Mineral Mix marks the end of getting the wrong foundation color. How so? It contains a beautifully blend-able loose mineral powder foundation in the base along with a darker pressed mineral foundation powder in the lid. Simple and smart.

Eyeing L’Oreal for Volume and Wear
Posted by girlpaint | Filed under bargain, cosmetics, mascara, wedding
L’Oreal Paris recently released *another* new mascara, this one called Extra Volume Collagen Mascara. It touts lush and luxurious lashes with hydra-collagen (?) for super-duper volume. A pretty, sleek black tube reveals the biggest, fattest mascara brush you’ve seen. Seriously. Thick.
Admittedly, I was skeptical. I had to see just what sort of super-duper volume we were talking about. Well, I was certainly not underwhelmed, but at the same time, I’m not sure it lives up to “12x more impact, instantly.”

Cotton Swabs Aren’t Just for Babies
Posted by girlpaint | Filed under bargain, eye liner, eyeshadow, tools, brushes, gizmos, gadgets, wedding
Originally called “Baby Gays” (seriously), Q-Tips entered the market in 1923.
These days, you might find a cheaper cotton swab, but there’s no substitute for the real thing. Fluffy tufts of cotton wrapped around a sturdy paper shaft. Genius.
Over the years, Q-tips expanded their uses to include ear health, cuts ‘n scrapes hygiene, fixing nail [...]
