There’s really nothing almost about this product. It was definitely one of the best new products to hit beauty counters last month and its origins are deeply rooted in cosmetic history. The Almost Lipstick craze started in 1989 with the cult-classic Black Honey (two words that will get any beauty junkie visibly excited). Fast forward [...]
Sometimes, unfortunately, life gets in the way and The Beauty Bug is too stressed, too busy, too preoccupied, and just plain not feeling like Herself (or all of the above) to be able to write and focus…but then a mascara comes along, cheers Her up, and puts The Beauty Bug back on track. Enter Clinique’s [...]
Here’s the rundown of products that The Beauty Bug’s paying extra to this week… Shu Uemura’s Limited Edition Luring Powder – From the fall 2008 Instinct Collection, Luring Powder is a light, naturally rosy powder that provides a light, sheen mist to skin. The Beauty Bug was first introduced to this product by Boston’s Best, [...]
As promised, here’s part 2 of what The Beauty Bug’s recommendations for June… Prescriptives All You Need Continuous Action 24-Hour Moisturizers – Prescriptives has reformulated their All You Need franchise to 24-hour moisturizers! Available in normal, drier and oilier, The Beauty Bug loves the normal moisturizer because it absorbs quickly and She can readily apply [...]

This new super-product is The Beauty Bug’s new go-to moisturizer. It can be used as a daily moisturizer, it can be applied over another moisturizer, it can [...]
Tired, cold and sluggish – those three words pretty accurately describe The Beauty Bug these past 2 weeks. She’s been yawning so much, She’s going to start catching flies. Not only that…the excessive yawning causes Her eyes to tear, which doesn’t bode well for her eye makeup. Lucky for Her, She’s been wearing Clinique’s new [...]
The Beauty Bug recently received an email from Allure and Estée Lauder, as well as a postcard in the mail both offering her a free sample of Estée Lauder’s new Projectionist High Definition Volume Mascara. She has tried Estée’s mascaras in the past, and wasn’t really a fan, but thought this one could have potential. [...]
Clinique’s (new) Pink Chocolates Holiday Collection has been the subject of many posts in the beauty blog circuit – all of them boasting that it’s full of shimmer and glow. While I do really like the Shimmering Tones Powder (what can be bad about Shimmering Powder), I have to say that I’m quite disappointed with [...]
In the past 10 years the only item that I’ve purchased from Clinique is their Turnaround 15 Minute Facial. I bought it after reading about it in Allure. They just aren’t and never really were on my makeup and skin care radar. For some reason, I associate them and their products with older women – [...]
