Mac's Upcoming Marilyn Monroe Collection?!

I know this is tagged "celebrities", but it really ought to be tagged legend. The bombshell Marilyn Monroe will be the inspiration and theme for an upcoming Mac Cosmetics collection. Take a look.

I can't wait! Even if it's in October 2012.

As women

Hello all.

I know you're a here for beauty related things, but I want to bring this to your attention: http://www.coalitiontoprotectwomenshealth.org/

I live in Virginia and I'm about to get hit with this bill which regulates what I want to do with my own body in terms of healthcare without my consent; they'll be taking away my choice to use birth control, no matter what the reason is. It doesn't matter if I'm using it to regulate my menstrual cycle or to protect myself from pregnancy. From what I understand, even at hearings for this, 8 out of 10 witnesses chosen to be speakers are men--none of the ten speakers are advocates fighting for my freedom of choice, but against it. The link I sent you allows us to create a thirty second video to speak out, and even if you're not in the state of Virginia, I would really appreciate your support.

I will be creating a thirty second video at some point and contributing my voice for this. I hope you will speak out against this medieval bill too.

Tiffany

February BirchBox: Spotlight

Silicon Facial Scrubber

Face scrubber. Supposedly massages your face at the same time. Have you tried it before?

I just used it and it's not a bad investment. Look up "Silicon scrubber" on Ebay and it should pop up for only a few dollars (of course, it'll be coming from Asia so the shipping will take some time). It really does reduce the amount of product you use, is gentle on the skin (aka doesn't tug) and helps the product foam up well.

I used my Clinique foaming cleanser and put a bit on water on the scrubber, worked it into the scrubber for a little then added a bit more water and voila, it was nice a bubbly for my face. Also removed my eye makeup (which was not waterproof) which includes my L'Oreal Linear Intense Liquid Eyeliner and some UD mascara. I usually have a problem removing my mascara, waterproof or not, because it's hard for me to get each lash, but this tool makes it so easy because I just scrub gently. Doesn't stain the tool because it's silicon, therefore it washes easily!

That all being said, don't use the Clinique foaming cleanser on your eyes, because it stung me so bad.
