I've loved makeup kits since I was very young so when I got to try TRUE Cosmetics Spring/Summer 2008 Luminance Collection I was excited to see how it would look.

The Product Gillette's Venus Embrace has 5 thin blades. I assumed this wasn't going to do much, but 5 blades makes ... READ MORE >>

Attention, MAC shoppers, the compact powders, eye shadows, and lip glosses made by MAC Cosmetics that we have all come to love seem to be getting knocked-off by a mischievous group of people. According to PurseBuzz, several people over the past few months have accidentally bought, in particular, fake MAC eyeshadow. The only way to separate the real from the fake is by the mirror and the sponge tip. The MAC version never comes with a mirror or sponge tip. So, be safe and only buy your MAC cosmetics from the retailers that are listed on www.maccosmetics.com  ... READ MORE >>
