EauMG’s 2017 Holiday Gift Guide for Niblings & Teens

December 12, 2017

Auntie Mame

Hug your Auntie! My holiday gift guides are back! And I apologize for the last minute of their arrival. The past few months are frankly wearing Auntie Mame down. But, after the holidays, I only have one semester of grad school left!

Anyway, back to the annual EauMG holiday tradition of gift guides. It’s better late than never, right? Previously I referred to this guide as the “Holiday Gift Guide for Sweet Nieces and Teens” but I wanted to find a word that was more gender neutral or… Continue reading | 2 Comments

Here’s my annual holiday gift guide for glamorous types that would be happy to have back-seamed stockings in their stocking! This is the gift guide for those that appreciate the timeless elegance of red lipstick, perfectly set hairstyles and oval-shaped manicures.

This time of year is dull and fills me with the blahs. If it weren’t for pampering products and rituals like warm baths, I know I’d be feeling even more “blah”. In February, a Cleopatra-inspired routine of milk baths, rose petals and honey sounds perfect.

Here’s what’s in it – SPOILER:

Clarisonic Mia 2 Sonic Skin Cleansing System Review

July 27, 2015

Clarisonic Mia 2

 

For years, my friends have been telling me about how wonderful their Clarisonic is and how I should just hurry up already and buy one. But, I’m a Taurus. I’m very stubborn. I’m always like, “Why do you have to be so bougie? Why is a washcloth not enough for you?” because I mean, come on, this line sells anywhere from $100 to $200. Do we really need to add something like that to our routine? I’ve been using Shiseido‘s manual brush for… Continue reading | 12 Comments

BECCA The One Perfecting Brush Review

January 13, 2014

becca_brush

BECCA The One Perfecting Brush claims to replace 10 of your makeup brushes: foundation brush, powder brush, contour brush, bronzer brush, stipple brush, blush brush, fan brush, concealer brush, kabuki brush and sponge. I find this amazing for a few reasons. Reason #1 – People use 10 brushes on their face? Reason #2 – Technically any brush could replace ten brushes…if you are willing to sacrifice some quality in one area.

This is a goat hair brush that can be used with liquids, creams and powders. The bristles… Continue reading | 2 Comments
