Mainstream Monday – Sniffing (Two) Popular Perfumes

MAC Cosmetics launched Shadescents, a line of perfumes to correspond with some of their best-selling, cult status lipstick shades. I was all about this concept as it combined both of my vices – perfume and lipstick.

I’m not on MAC’s PR list and it really didn’t appear they reached out to anyone that talks solely about perfume, so I had to wait for these to come into stores. It was a wreck. I went to two stores in NYC and… Continue reading | 8 Comments

Anti-Haul August 2017

September 7, 2017

A lot of people do “Anti-Hauls” on Youtube. If you aren’t familiar with these, these are videos where people talk about what they aren’t buying. With so many launches, I love the premise of this. It gives us a reason to talk about what’s new without actually participating in this makeup economy of “BUT THIS LIMITED EDITION THING!”. Here’s my version, sans video. Here’s my additional comments¹.

Question: What’s your favorite and least favorite thing about blogging?

The Lipstick League – week of 4.4.11

Question: What’s your skin care routine?

EauMG’s Answer: Oh, geez, complexity, that’s my routine. My collection of skincare products are like that of a Texan oil tycoon’s trophy wife. I inherited my love skincare product’s from my grandmother. She had her own bathroom just for spa and skincare products. I have a separate routine for morning and night, using different products. In the morning: wash, tone, serum, eye serum, moisturizer
