Haul: Estee Lauder Illuminating Powder Gelee

Mar 13, 12

The Pure Color Illuminating Powder Gelées are kind of a big deal in the world of face products. I liken them to the Mineralize Skin Finish done by MAC, but these have an air of refinement about them. These are packed with more sheen than sparkle and with intense pigmentation. A little seems to go a very long way. I noticed...

Posted by Tamara in haul

This year didn’t hold any special plans for Valentine’s Day, so I decided to embrace last year’s idea and buy myself something special. While I can definitely appreciate most luxury brands, it’s not something that I indulge in very often. For the most part I’m content to live vicariously through other...

As some of you may know, IMATS Toronto was this past weekend and most of you know that IMATS wouldn’t be IMATS without a haul. I figured it would be easier to just bundle it all up in a video. If you’d like to see a specific product used in a look or if you’d like to see a particular product reviewed, just leave a...

After getting a heads up on Twitter, I headed to Winners after work yesterday to look for some Cargo Cosmetics. Yet another reason that I adore my beauty network, it’s endlessly versatile. Interestingly enough, as I wandered into the beauty section there was a woman stocking one of the shelves with his kit! I did manage not...
