For as long as I've been wearing makeup, I've been obsessed with lip/cheek stains and tints. This is likely due to the fact that I technically wasn't ALLOWED to wear makeup until I was 16, and I used tints and stains to slyly get by my Mom, all, "WHAT? I'm NOT WEARING LIPSTICK, SEE??" and swipe my hand across my seemingly-bare (yet obviously colored) lips as proof. Sneaky, sneaky, me.  Read more

Here are two things I'm willing to bet are true about most of you: 1. You wear the same things over and over. 2. You do not wear everything in your closet. Oh, sure, this doesn't apply to everyone, but I suspect that the majority of you are nodding in agreement. I also suspect that at least some of you (dare I say, again, a majority?) feel a little guilty about this, especially about that last part, the part where you don't wear some portion of your wardrobe.

And you know that isn't usually pretty, right? Actually this week the team challenge didn't seem to bring out as much drama as they usually do.

These hats made statements. Being a SF Bay Area native, I kept wondering when that gal with the city of San Francisco on her head (from Beach Blanket Babylon) was going to show up.  Read more

This week the designers were sent to a party, or rather a party store. Yes, this was one of those challenges revolving around making designs out of unconventional materials. In this case, things you could buy in a party store. Tim warned the designers that the judges wouldn't like them just picking up materials that could act like traditional fabrics (i.e. tablecloths) but most of them gravitated to things like napkins, ribbon, tablecloths anyway. So, what did we learn in this episode?  Read more
