Dollar Store Dupes for Silicone Makeup Brush Cleaners

Purchased by Me 
Up until a few years ago, I didn't even know that silicone brush cleaners were a thing. For a long time now, I've been washing my makeup brushes by mixing some warm water and my favorite brush cleaner (Dr. Bronner's Liquid Soap) in the palm of my hand, and swirling my brush until the water runs clean. But after a few years of reading about the various silicone brush cleaners on

The Lipstick League - week of 12.15.14

The Lipstick League Question of the Week


 What beauty item would you consider an ideal hostess gift during the holidays?

G's answer: You can't go wrong with a nice hand cream and hand soap set. I mean, even if your hostess isn't as obsessed with beauty products as you are, everyone needs hand cream and hand soap, right? It would be nice to put those in a basket along with some files and

Last week when I posted pics of the new Rimmel Matte Lip Velvets, Provocalips, etc., reader Florence mentioned in the comments that she was hoping that Rimmel would release some new Kate Moss lipstick shades (it feels like it has been forever since we've seen new shades in that line, right?). Well guess what, Florence? Your wish came true! And we've got a new Kate Moss mascara as well.

Spotted: NEW Neutrogena Nourishing Long Wear Eye Shadow Quads

It's been a while since Neutrogena released new products, right? I was trying to think of the last new release I covered from Neutrogena and can you believe it was their BB cream back in January of this year? Well that's about to change, since they just released some new eyeshadow quads! I honestly can't remember the last eyeshadows that Neutrogena released--heck, besides the BB cream, the most

Battle of the Pumpkin Lip Balms: Burt's Bees Pumpkin Spice vs. ChapStick Pumpkin Pie

Press Sample
Purchased by Me 
Admit it. It's the question that's been keeping you up at night:

Which limited edition pumpkin-flavored lip balm is better--Burt's Bees or ChapStick?  

OK but seriously, since these are limited edition flavors and they're only available for the holidays, I thought it might be fun to give you a little side-by-side comparison and tell you which one is my personal
