11 Top-Rated Shadows For $20 or Less
Summer is a great time for a little shadow play. It's a great time of the year to do some experimenting with bolder color choices and shimmery finishes. I've got you covered on a simple tip for applying shadow, and I've provided the basics of choosing the right shades.
Coming Soon: Maybelline Vibrating Mascara
Vibrating mascaras are all the buzz. And now, Maybelline's entering the growing segment of unique lash-enhancing products with the upcoming release of its newest product, Define-a-Lash Pulse Perfection ($15). The battery-powered mascara is the first of its kind in the drugstore category, and will officially debut in July.
Doing Drugstore: Curly Sexy Hair Curl Power
When I can't get a grasp on my mane of curls, I feel like I need a superhero's abilities to help out. Turns out Ghostbusters were busy when I called, so now I'm shouting out for Curl Power ($14)!
I recently tested items from the Curly Sexy Hair line and this was my clear-cut favorite.
Doing Drugstore: Clean and Clear Makeup Dissolving Facial Cleansing Wipes
Sometimes laziness or overindulgence happens. In those cases, I don't feel like going through the whole process of my nightly face-care ritual, but I also don't want to wake up the next morning with makeup and mascara melting down my face from the previous day. That's where facial wipes come into play.
Feel Young Again For Less Than Five Bucks
Some people eat madeleines and zoom back to childhood. Me? I paint my nails for that Proustian moment.
Doing Drugstore: St. Ives Moisturizing In-Shower Exfoliating Body Polish
I love body polishes that don't require excess force to work, particularly ones that use sugar, which is gentler on the skin. Over the weekend, I tried out St. Ives Moisturizing In-Shower Exfoliating Body Polish, Oatmeal & Shea Butter ($8), which contains natural sugar crystals for exfoliation, oatmeal to soothe, and shea butter for softer skin.
Doing Drugstore: Sally Hansen Nail Art Pen
I'm a doodler by nature, and a dabbler in whatever unique beauty product I can get my hands on. It seems like nail pens are all the rage in the nail polish industry as of late, so when I heard about Sally Hansen Nail Art Pen, I had to give it a try.
There are eight shades in total, and because I wanted to give myself some glitzy black nails à la Paris Hilton's black French manicure, I purchased the white shade.

Doing Drugstore: CoverGirl TruBlend Microminerals Blush
Blush can be intimidating. Just a swirl and swish too many can make the difference between lightly flushed and clown cheeks. I've had my share of missteps, and when I saw how pink the CoverGirl TruBlend Microminerals Blush appeared in the container, I worried that I might have another Bozo moment.
