GoGoGirlfriend + Red Gloss Review

Jan 20.12 / Lindsay Smirkskies

I am not a lip gloss girl (give me stains, or give me stick), but once I saw the tube, I really needed to put this stuff on my mouth.


Adventures in Makeup: Red, Red, Red

May 23.11 / Lindsay

I turned 26 two weeks ago, and I have made a lot of very important decisions: I no longer care about weird stares on the street (we call this “the year we stopped giving f**ks”). I need to start being more religious about skincare. I want to eat an enormous caesar salad every day because [...]


I’m Wearing: Shabby Apple Feeds My Fetish

Feb 16.11 / Lindsay

I’ve been drooling over Shabby Apple’s dress inventory for literal years. Their dresses are so unique and flattering that I can’t seem to pull myself away. Recently, they let me indulge in one of my favorite things… Copious Stripes This dress is like wearing a big pile of striped pajamas. The stripes on top are [...]


My Very Own Epic Eyeliner Review (And Success)

Aug 26.10 / Jennifer Nicole

It’s Jen! Lindsay’s bestie, co-Demoiselle, and author of the socially-conscious fashion blog, Awakened Aesthetic. You might have noticed that our blogs are getting cuddly – I’ll remove this text after we get to know each other! As I read Lindsay’s Multi Eyeliner Review Saga, I was overcome with a sudden urge.  I needed new eyeliner.  [...]


Some Strange Multi Eyeliner Review Saga

Aug 20.10 / Lindsay

A while ago, I bought a “kit” by Bourjois Paris from BeautyTicket. Within this magical kit was a beautiful violet wet/dry shadow, a lavender creme eyeshadow, cute and tiny mascara, and the most epic, amazing liquid eyeliner I have ever used – Bourjois Paris Liner Princeau in Prune. I have a strong tendency to become [...]


Lauren Conrad for Kohl’s

Sep 16.09 / Lindsay

I’m typically loathe to post about celebrities, reality stars, or the crazies in between – but this is a rare occasion. Lauren Conrad, a la The Hills & Laguna Beach, totally sucked at the whole “high fashion” thing, as her entire line was basically cut from the same piece of cotton jersey… She held the [...]


Product Review: L’Occitane Immortelle Brightening Cleansing Foam

Jul 17.09 / Lindsay

Long enough title? Maybe? There are probably a few more words I could fit in there… Okay, so before this gets crazy, I want to preface (for anyone who has read my blog since last November) that I rarely go outside my hardcore Clinique addiction when it comes to skincare. The reality of the situation, [...]


Review: Smooth-Away Hair Remover

Feb 19.09 / Lindsay sa-product-image-1

I was asked to review the infamous info-mercial giant, Smooth Away. You’ve likely seen it – the little paddle that sits on the slender hand of the smiling model in the bathrobe, gently “buffing away” all of your unwanted hair? Yeah, seems too good to be true, huh? Well, that’s what I thought… It has [...]


A Reader Recommends: Band-Aid Active Friction Block Stick

Feb 04.09 / Lindsay

Miss jfount left me a comment on Comfort Does Not = Ugly regarding Band-Aid Activ-Flex Blister Block ($6.79), singing it’s praises. Since I have the utmost faith in my readers/friends, I thought I’d share it with you! I will throw in an endorsement for the Band-Aid blister stick stuff. A lot of my shoe discomfort [...]


Brilliant Books: Born-Again Vintage

Jan 23.09 / Lindsay cover

I’ve never been good with arts & crafts… I think that the closest I ever came to a lucrative career in crafting was when I sat at the bottom of my driveway with small rocks painted with acrylic paint. “Painted Rocks, 25 cents!” I think I sold one. Well, I was proficient at the infamous [...]
