Tip of the day: Cosmetic lifespans

Filed under: Cosmetics, Style Tip of the Day


Many of us gals have been the victim of expired cosmetics. Here's the scenario. After seeing pics of that smokin' gloss we used to wear in high school, we rush to our beauty closet only to open the tube to a rank stank that we don't understand.

Discovering stains

Filed under: Cosmetics


We always forget to reapply lipstick. It's just one of those character flaws that we are resigned to living with. Which would be fine if we had a lighter hand with the eyeliner. A naked mouth on a faceful of makeup can look really unbalanced.

Fortunately we found stains, which give a bit of color, a lot of staying power, and are easy to use. Just apply stain before you lipstick or gloss, and even if you talk/eat off all of your lipstick, at the end of the night you'll still have some color on your mouth.

We also love stains because they can be multi-purposed as blusher, without that grandma-ish powdery feel. One quick swipe and you have a fetching glow.

So versatile, so pretty. And so many to choose from. The best of the best in the gallery.
