The Beauty Bug came across this little blurb about why beauty products are the best presents and thought it was timely. [...]
According to For the Love of Makeup, the makeup team working on the set of the movie Dreamgirls went through went through 40 jars of MAC Fluidline Eyeliner and also used between 15,000 – 20,000 pairs of fake eyelashes.

Previously, when you turned in 6 MAC empties, you had your choice of any shade of lipstick. Now, you have your choice of a [...]
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 [...]
Just an update on my Best of Origins post from yesterday – you can get the Best of set here for $75 and free shipping. Again, it’s a limited time offer. Amidst all the craziness of Black Friday, the most exciting deal of the day for me was when I was walking by the Aveda [...]
