A couple of days ago, I wrote about my recent MAC mini-haul, and I showed swatches of MAC’s Satin Lipstick, Sushi Kiss. I’m on the fence about it, although I’m beginning to think it’s a nice summer shade. The more I use it, the more it reminds me of the pale pastel, retro shades that… Continue reading Peachy Summer Face of the Day

Rose Gold FOTD with Too Faced Born This Way Foundation and Love Light Highlighter
I haven’t bought anything from Too Faced in a looooong time. Over Memorial Weekend, they had a sale on their website (25% off and free shipping!) so I used that opportunity to pick up one of their relatively new highlighters, Love Light, in Ray of Light, a rose gold shade. Did I mention that the… Continue reading Rose Gold FOTD with Too Faced Born This Way Foundation and Love Light Highlighter
FOTD: Everyday Makeup 5 Minute Face in Spring Shades
I haven’t done a face of the day in ages. Instead of a review, I thought this might be a nice change of pace plus I’m using a few products that either I haven’t used in a long time or I’ve just purchased. Today was sadly a gray day for May 1. The only thing that… Continue reading FOTD: Everyday Makeup 5 Minute Face in Spring Shades
FOTD Featuring Copper Colored Makeup
It’s been ages since I did a Face of the Day post. Yesterday I was playing around with a pigment eye shadow that I bought a couple of weeks ago, and I decided to write about it. I just got my hair recolored, and it is a bright but deep copper shade. I decided to… Continue reading FOTD Featuring Copper Colored Makeup
BeYu Cosmetics: A Summer FOTD and OOTD
Last night, we were invited to our friends’ home for dinner. It was a hot night, almost 90 degrees, and we had spent the afternoon at the beach. It definitely put me in a summery mood. I pulled out a pair of shorts and an aqua polka dot T-shirt that goes with my aqua Sofft… Continue reading BeYu Cosmetics: A Summer FOTD and OOTD
Friday FOTD with a Burgundy Lip
Last night was the monthly meeting of the book club I belong to. I usually make an effort to get a little dressed up. Although most of the women in the group don’t wear makeup, I look at it as an opportunity to do so. How nice to actually leave the house wearing makeup rather than… Continue reading Friday FOTD with a Burgundy Lip
Wearin’ O’ The Green: FOTD for St. Patrick’s Day!
Today is St. Patrick’s Day, a holiday that’s pretty big in the Boston area because we have so many people of Irish heritage. I even have a few friends who are actually from Ireland (and they won’t be the ones wearing green, most likely!). I thought I’d break out the Celtics jacket that my… Continue reading Wearin’ O’ The Green: FOTD for St. Patrick’s Day!
FOTD with e.l.f. Essential Smudge Pots
As I’ve mentioned a million times, I prefer cream everything for my dry skin. Recently, I read a post from Katie at From My Vanity comparing e.l.f. Smudge Pots to Maybelline Color Tattoos. I never heard of e.l.f.’s cream Smudge Pots, and after reading about them, I headed right for Target. They had two shades left… Continue reading FOTD with e.l.f. Essential Smudge Pots
FOTD with New Milani Cosmetics Spring 2016
Milani, my favorite drugstore brand, has just come out with a number of new products. Earlier this month, I posted here about the new Moisture Lock Lip Treatment. Now I have several other new Milani products to share with you. I decided to do a face of the day with the new products and a… Continue reading FOTD with New Milani Cosmetics Spring 2016
ColourPop Metamorphosis Shadow Collection & Frida Lippie Stix FOTD and Swatches
I picked up the ColourPop Metamorphosis eye shadow collection and the Frida Lippie Stix, a mid-tone nude pink with a satin finish, during their pre-Christmas sale event. I had wanted to pick up the limited edition Metamorphosis collection for some time. I’m glad I did because it appears to be gone now. Frida is part of… Continue reading ColourPop Metamorphosis Shadow Collection & Frida Lippie Stix FOTD and Swatches
Cool-Toned Face of the Day with Viseart Palette
I haven’t done a Face of the Day (FOTD) post in months so I thought I would do one for a change. So I decided to share my makeup for Thanksgiving Day. I often wear an autumn-inspired outfit and makeup on Thanksgiving, but when pressed for time, I resort to black clothing and that’s what I… Continue reading Cool-Toned Face of the Day with Viseart Palette
FOTD: Orange and Blue
When it comes to makeup, I usually stick to neutral shades, gold/bronze or purples for eye makeup. So I don’t know what came over me last week. I decided to dig out the gorgeous Jordana Cat Eyeliner in Twilight, a deep blue, and one of the Milani Fierce Foil Eyeshine palettes that I don’t use… Continue reading FOTD: Orange and Blue
Rimmel ScandalEyes Eye Shadow Sticks: Bulletproof Beige and Bad Girl Bronze FOTD
Last winter, I picked up a couple of the Rimmel ScandalEyes eyeshadow sticks/crayons in taupe and brown matte shades. I mentioned Trespassing Taupe and Bootleg Brown in a post about my CVS haul, but I ended up liking them so much I wear them all the time. They really are my go-to eye shadows for everyday,… Continue reading Rimmel ScandalEyes Eye Shadow Sticks: Bulletproof Beige and Bad Girl Bronze FOTD
Tarina Tarantino Eye Dream Hypershadow
A few weeks ago, I got another unexpected gift from my dear friend in Ohio who definitely knows my taste in makeup! She’s the kind soul who sent me the Tarina Tarantino Dollskin Cheek blush that I adore and reviewed a while back, and she added to my TT collection by sending me one of… Continue reading Tarina Tarantino Eye Dream Hypershadow
FOTD: Purples with Jordana Cosmetics Dramatic Effects Mascara Mini-Review
At Open Studios in Newton MA in April, I bought a new pair of purple handcrafted earrings from one of the artisans. Jeff and I were going to the movies this rainy afternoon, and I decided to wear the earrings and do a purple face of the day inspired by my new earrings. Because… Continue reading FOTD: Purples with Jordana Cosmetics Dramatic Effects Mascara Mini-Review
No-Makeup Makeup FOTD Featuring Urban Decay Eyes
The No-Makeup Makeup Look was one of the key looks on the fashion runways for 2015. Gee, I’ve been doing that look since I was in college. Guess I was ahead of my time. And I’ve done No-Makeup makeup looks before, but this time, I used the neutral palette that I think everyone thinks about… Continue reading No-Makeup Makeup FOTD Featuring Urban Decay Eyes
FOTD: Lorac Unzipped Gold Shadow & Colorful Essence Teal Eyeliner
Last week, I went out to dinner with my friend, Kim, to celebrate her birthday. Since it was a happy and festive event – even though it was just the two of us on a Tuesday night, I decided to go with celebratory makeup and that means taking a break from my usual neutral matte… Continue reading FOTD: Lorac Unzipped Gold Shadow & Colorful Essence Teal Eyeliner

The ladies of The Beauty Collaborative got together and decided to put together all of our favorite looks for Spring 2015.

St. Patrick’s Day Face of the Day
I have red hair, and I live in the Boston suburbs so some people think I’m Irish. They think my last name – Cohen – is Cohan. Though I’m not Irish, I join the crowd around here and play one on Saint Patrick’s Day. I break out my Celtic’s jacket whether they’re winning or not (this… Continue reading St. Patrick’s Day Face of the Day
FOTD: Quick Everyday No-Makeup Makeup Look
The no-makeup makeup look seems to be everywhere at the NYFW. I grew up during one of the first no-makeup times, so it’s very familiar to me. Though I can’t say it’s my favorite, it is one that I turn to over and over again. Out here in the ‘burbs, I feel a little conspicuous… Continue reading FOTD: Quick Everyday No-Makeup Makeup Look
