I’m Most Thankful For…

November 26, 2008 by Jillian
With Thanksgiving coming up tomorrow (Can you believe it’s almost December!?), lots of people are making mention of what they are thankful for this year.  I’ve decided to share my list of beauty products I am most thankful for.  Without these essentials, I couldn’t get by in my work…These are my favorites, and what I [...]

Bare Escentuals. Not Just Minerals!

November 20, 2008 by Jillian
An amazing package of goodies arrived last night from the lovely PR team at Bare Escentuals.  I’ve been a long time supporter of the brand, and think it’s highly undervalued by professional artists.  I can not stress enough how fabulous I think this brand is.  I’m such a fan both personally and professionally, that I [...]

Stephanie Simek: A Make-up Lover’s Dream Come True!

November 19, 2008 by Jillian
I’m a very extroverted person who reacts rather viscerally to things… And, when I came across this jewelry I screamed.  Literally.  And, a part of me wanted to shed a tear that someone out there was thinking about my demographic when creating their latest collection.  I’ve never ever felt so understood. I love (no, LOVE) [...]

The Pete Wentz Guide to Guyliner

November 18, 2008 by Jillian
This is an old video – Apparently he does not wear eyeliner anymore (Perhaps impending fatherhood has something to do with this change?). Whether he wears it or not, this video remains a surprisingly good guide for boys (Or anyone really), who wants that day old smudgy rock star eyeliner look.

R.I.P TRL: My Inner 12 Year Old Is DEVASTATED.

November 17, 2008 by Jillian
Confession:  I’m addicted to MTV (and also Music Choice on Demand, but that’s another thing). Why:  I was once a contestant on Say What? Karaoke and subsequently have a love for the network like no other. I lost to Tiki Barber. He was terrible.  But, he’s Tiki Barber…And, I’m obviously not Tiki Barber.  I lost [...]

OMFG: ‘Not Fergie But Still A Video’ Edition

November 12, 2008 by Jillian
I haven’t done one of these in a while…Mostly because I’m too busy trying to be focused on my own work to notice a job well done by others lately. Usually I reserve an OMFG post for a celebrity with make-up that I would die for.  Those celebs are usually working the red carpet, although [...]
