We've previously looked at Sephora's Flashy waterproof liners and glittery Electro liners, so when I noticed Sephora had a new house-brand eyeliner out, I was irresistibly drawn to swatch.

There's surpisingly little to say about the new Nano liners. They're meant to be high-intensity pigment (and they're pretty), but that's about it. They're not waterproof; they

Don't forget, readers, I still need a co-reviewer for this Ms. Pedicure Foot Spahh Kit!

Go! Go! Go! Good luck!

Guerlain is on fire this spring. Last time we talked about them, we were looking at their new Rouge G de Guerlain lipsticks. Along with Rouge G, there was a concurrently released summer collection called —Terracotta — which I finally got a chance to check out this past weekend.

Guerlain has some permanent collection items bearing the

Dior's summer releases have been extremely confusing, but my friend and fellow blogger Lina was kind enough to set me straight. As far as I can tell, there's a summer collection called Color Pop, and different counters received different pieces. (There also seems to be a Cristal Collection, and a bronze collection — but it almost seems

The Double Dazzle collection hit counters on April 30, but since most of the shades are permanent, I think we can still talk about them.

Dazzleglasses are MAC's sparkliest lipglosses. They first appeared in May of 2008, in a collection called Dazzleglass, then had a cameo in 2008's Red She Said holiday collection. They're $18 each and

In between Chanel's bronzey summer Cote d'Azur collection and whatever comes next for fall, Chanel has released a mini lipgloss-n-nail polish collection called Lumières Célestes (or Lumieres Celestes) — featuring eight insanely sparkly glossimers (and four polishes).

The glossimers, mostly named for astrological phenomena ("inspired by Mademoiselle Chanel's fascination with the constellations"), are very pigmented and very sparkly. They've

Acne. Bane of our existence.

Why does it happen? Well, skin has little glands, which produce natural oils that keep our hair and skin looking nice.

When a pore (the opening of a gland out onto the surface of your skin) gets clogged with dead skin, the gland gets irritated — either by bacteria that's trapped inside, or by

Summer is nearly upon us, and I keep getting that email forward about not baring my feet without first prettying them up — it's starting to make me a little self-conscious! (Thanks, friends.)

I'm willing to make an effort — and that's where this contest comes in. Enter to win a Foot Spahh kit from

Bobbi Brown's sheer summer Nautical Collection recently hit counters, though I'm not sure what makes sheer "Nautical." The collection includes four new, limited edition, sheer lipglosses (not yet swatched), and six (permanent) shades of a new stick blush called Sheer Color Cheek Tints.

The cheek tints are primarily cool colors (not that warm girls can't wear cool blush).

I can't speak for the rest of the world, but as temperatures rise and spring melts into summer, I feel like wearing less and less makeup. Put down your smelling salts. It's not that I don't want to wear makeup at all, I just find myself cutting back on the eyeshadow, going without foundation. All I really want is

There are several shopping bonuses and events going on this week, and I just wanted to remind you what you have to choose from.

By special request from a reader in Belgium, today we're taking a look at Laura Mercier's Secret Camouflage concealer. Everything's a secret with Laura. She makes Secret Camouflage, a two-sided compact for face; Secret Concealer, a potted concealer for undereye; Secret Brightener (an illuminating click pen akin to YSL's Touche Eclat), and Secret Brightening Powder (an illuminating finishing powder

Congratulations to Huai-Ann T., who won the fabulous Lancome Oscillation mascara giveaway!

Stay tuned, folks — we've got another giveaway coming up this week!

There's a large portion of the makeup-loving population (myself included) that loses all reason at the mention of the word "taupe." I've concluded that it is quite possibly the most powerful word in makeup.

So I wanted to take a moment to talk about what taupe is.
