The Lipstick League – week of 10.2.17

Question of the Week: What’s your favorite CLASSIC skincare brand and your favorite NEW skincare brand?

EauMG’s Answer: Oh, this is a difficult question! There are so many great old and new skincare lines. If I had to go with classic French pharmacy like La Roche-Posay. For nostalgic reasons, I’d have to say Olay. Both brands have been around for a long time and both brands actually have great products. I also love Estee Lauder. For new

Alla Nazimova

I wear sunscreen every day. I reapply it if I’m out in the sun. I’ll go out without makeup or without a bra before I go out without sunscreen.

I’ve been wearing sunscreen every day since I was 13 years old. This was a rarity for someone in my age range that grew up in the Deep Tanning Bed South.

Earl Grey smells like its name… Continue reading | 15 Comments

Estee Lauder Modern Muse Chic EDP Perfume Review

September 14, 2015

Estee Lauder Modern Muse Chic

Mainstream Monday – Sniffing a Popular Perfume

When Estee Lauder launched Modern Muse, I was optimistic because I tend to like Estee Lauder perfumes in general. After trying it, I wasn’t really inspired (and isn’t that the entire point of a muse?). I never reviewed it because there wasn’t much to say. Modern Muse was an abstract jasmine.

October, which is usually one of my favorite months, started out rather inspiring. I felt renewed and ready to take on anything. The weather was rather mild and I got outdoors and did stuff.

And then I received terrible news that my grandmother had passed, a week after my visit to Tennessee. She was one of my favorite people, a humorous, sassy ruby-red-lipstick-wearing sort of broad that could cook like no other. She was someone… Continue reading | 27 Comments
