Tata Harper Be ADORED Review

I had to replace my foundation and hate shipping charges. Its mentally less anguish if I get free shipping even if it means picking something else just to get free shipping, especially something else that is less than necessary.  I have been eyeing Tata Harper’s line forever but can’t bring myself to try something, anything from it because its sooooooooooooo pricey and my skin is so finicky that for me at least the risk that it will sit in a drawer is just too high.   But I did pick up this lip balm from Tata Harper and I’ve been reaching for it all the time ever since it arrived on my doorstep from Spirit Beauty Lounge.

So, my lovely bride to be friend emailed me a few days ago with this question: “I am doing a vintage 1940’s hair and make-up. Any recommendations One Product At A Time lady?” I figured this was a concern for more than just my friend, so here is basically what I told her.

New: Green Picks

| Loni

greenpicksoneproductatatime

As I have mentioned I do talk about products that are not so green. Its hard, I love products. I’ve created a new tab to house all of the posts on green products, called GREEN PICKS. All the products listed are safe and pass my rigorous reading of ingredient lists. I’ll be updating this over the next week or so to include all of the One Product posts on safer products!

Enjoy and have an awesome weekend!

Naked is Better

I love a bold lip. Red, HotPink, Coral you name it I rock it. I feel like it pulls together any look. Whether your going out or going on a coffee run in PJs. Its a game face thing. But as the temperatures rise, I tend to go for something more bare, more neutral, more naked.

Since I am launching a lip balm line this fall, the title of this post from Refinery29 caught my attention, “This Is The Best Reason To Launch A Lip Gloss We’ve Ever Seen.” I had to read on. Turns out Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics, the company behind the famed (and amazing) Lip Tars, launched a new limited edition color so one of their very own employees could get the very expensive and not covered by insurance gender reassignment (transition) surgery. How awesome is that?!?! Also the color is pretty rad. So if your looking for some new lip gloss, OCC Lip Tars are incredibly pigmented and lasted for me at least FIVE  hours through eating and drinking. The limited edition color is called January Rising Lip Tar and its only available for 14 more days! Its $25 bucks and 100% of the funds go directly to the fund, OCC gets no profit or funds for production. UGH, what a great company!

Sometimes, just sometimes, I am wrong

So, I posted about Fresh Sugar Lip Treatments before and I have to say that post was not that positive. I found that these lip tints, while super moisturizing, had major color bleed, which is just so unsightly. But nevertheless I found myself drawn to them when I was in Sephora last week.  Continue reading →

Things I Didn’t Know I Needed: Color Change Lip Balm

| Loni

Sephora Collection Color Reveal Lip Balm

Put this in the category of totally unnecessary. There are a ton of color change lip balms out there right now, one by Dior and one by Tarte come to mind immediately. But they honestly seem like a scam, and when I tried the Dior one, it looked as though I ate a popsicle like a drunk five year old— totally not a good look.
