Rose-Colored Glasses: My Favorite Tints and Stains

Comments: 0 comments
Benefit Posietint

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

Secret Deodorant

You know that deodorant commercial that shows the woman diving through her window to avoid getting white marks on her black dress? Annoying, right? I mean, I understand what they're getting at -- we've all twisted ourselves into various pretzel-y positions trying to get that dark top on without putting a big white streak on the side, but it's really just a bit of a bother and not quite as dramatic as the commercial would make it seem.  Read more

woman browsing her closet

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. Maybe it's time you did something about that.  Read more

Project Runway Top 12 (image courtesy Lifetime)

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. One big diva, one designer who got picked on, one backpedaling, two-faced beeyotch. I know that might sound like a lot, but usually it's all twelve who would be engaging in such antics!! of course the episode came with an unexpected twist ending which brought all the drama and drama-seeking viewer could ever want!! You'll just have to stay tuned and find out.  Read more

Shaving Legs

For St. Louis fashionistas, summertime means sandals, sundresses, and swimsuits. (Oh my!) Clothing that covers less constitutes a necessity for keeping those legs and underarm areas looking smooth and sleek. But have you ever wondered, as you grabbed that razor or booked that waxing appointment, who decided we femmes should be hair free? And when did this movement begin?  Read more

Tim Gunn, "Project Runway" (Image courtesy Lifetime)

No, really, hats off, please, because most of their outfits didn't do the hats justice! This week was a pretty fantabulous opportunity for the designers to show off their most conceptual, high-fashion proclivities, as they were each paired up with a model wearing a big, bold Philip Treacy hat. 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

Material Girl for Macy's

Madonna and Macy's have teamed up to bring us the "Material Girl" line -- and it's making me feel old. It's not hard to see why: this is a line that squarely targets tweens and teens, not their mothers.  Read more

Project Runway: Gretchen at the Party Store (Barbara Nitke / Lifetime Television

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
