Urban Decay Releases Pro Size Primer Potion!

Lindsey — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 18:25:01 +0000

I’ve never been able to fall into the Urban Decay Primer Potion hype because absolutely cannot stand the packaging! It is bulky, unpractical and you waste a lot of product with it’s awkward design. The good news is that the company has finally released a new, pro friendly packaging for the infamous product!

Out with the old..

And in With The New!

Not only is it much easier to dispense product with the convenient needle nose tip, but you also get 150% more than the original packaging!

What do you Think? Love it? Leave it?

What is Your Desert Island Beauty Product?

Lindsey — Mon, 24 May 2010 04:38:15 +0000

Everyone is freaking out about the season finale of LOST tonight, which inspired the question:

If you were stranded on a desert island, and could only choose 1 beauty product to have with you, what would it be??

FYI: The island already has sunscreen, toothpaste, and deodorant so don’t worry about “essentials.” It also has 1 outlet because I know some of you can’t live without your hot tools.

Paris Hilton Debuts Beauty Line

Lindsey — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 04:31:33 +0000

Products By Paris – Fab or Flop?

Paris Hilton debuted her new beauty line, “Products By Paris” a few nights ago in Los Angeles. Have any of her other products really been selling well enough to come out with this new line?? I can’t really see it doing very well. Anyway, Products By Paris include the “Celebrity Styler,” the “Ultimate Brush” and a Nail Polish Club. Random, right?!

The Celebrity Styler-

The Celebrity Styler is a flat iron and a rotating curling iron mixed into one. You can straighten, curl, or flip your hair with this new product. It looks kind of cheesy, like the hair tools you see for sale at drugstores but you never know. This Celebrity Styler is $64 plus shipping and handling.

The Ultimate Brush-

The Ultimate Brush looks really cool but I can’t find any information on what it actually does to make it “the ultimate” brush. Her website has a FAQ section and this is the best answer I could find…

“What makes the brush so unique?

The round shape is completely different than any other brush, use it once and you will be hooked for life. The shape and size gives you better control.”

LOL! So apparently it’s unique because it’s different than any other brush. Thank God for FAQ’s. The Ultimate Brush is $9.99 plus shipping and handling.

Polish By Paris Club-

Paris’ nail polish club allows you receive two new shades “handpicked by Paris” each month. It is $14.99 a month. Club members also get the chance to be eligible to enter contests to meet Paris and win prizes..

Doesn’t sound like something I will be jumping to buy however, I’m excited to see how it does and how the public reacts to Paris’ new business venture!
