Black Diamonds

Following Save Me, here's another OPI glitter from the Nicki Minaj collection, Metallic 4 Life. This is a black jelly base loaded with tiny silver square and larger hex glitter.

Jackass Blu-ray launch: Wee-Man is kind of naked, Kat Von D turns up for some reason

Jackass Blu-ray launch: Wee-Man is kind of naked, Kat Von D turns up for some reason

We'll admit, when we first heard the news that the Jackass crew had made a third film, and that they were now sober and sensible (ish), we couldn't help but think there was a distinct possibility that this particular horse had not only been badly flogged, but was now on childrens' desks around the country, in little...

Shopping Review: llarowe

I do 90% of my shopping online. I prefer it and if I could get everything I need/want from online I would be happy in my bubble. I'm an extreme introvert and anything that keeps me from being around people is always a plus in my book. This got me to thinking that I would post a little review every once in awhile about...

DIY:  Gold Leaf Manicure

DIY: Gold Leaf Manicure

Gold nails are everywhere. I personally blame Beyonce for this - it all started a few years ago with Minx, which instantly swept the nation with their gold & silver foil manicures. But Minx are expensive. Plus, I read so many people's complaints - lifting after a day or two, fungus, ew. There are a million other... Continue reading »

Whatever you do, keep flaky lips far, far away from the Lancôme L’Absolu Nu lipsticks ($29). Lancôme’s new lippies come in 16 shiny, translucent shades that look and feel like they were influenced by the delectable $28 Dior Addicts, with a similarly slick, ultra-thin texture.
