Upon first spotting this in the February issue of Marie Claire, and then finding little snip pits about it on the web, I must say I’m getting curiouser and curiouser….
Okay, I admit it, I’m easily swayed by the newest products. I’m the kind of consumer that ad execs dream about.
If you tell me it will make my thighs look slimmer, I’ll buy it. If you tell me it will make me appear an inch taller, I’ll buy it. If you tell me it’ll bring me fame and good fortune…. well you get the idea.
So I have to admit I was skeptical at first with this product but boy did it ever deliver! So much so in fact that I am about to purchase my second tube.
Use this in conjunction with Shu Uemura eyelash curler and your peepers will be thanking you.
Get yours at Sephora!
Ladies and Gentlemen, we are gathered here today to celebrate the life of “Bronx” from Mac Cosmetics, my favorite lipstick of all time.
I’ve been wearing it day in and day out for 10 years now. It is the perfect neutral shade of taupe that goes so well with my skin tone whether I’m sportin’ a tan or channeling that friendly ghost, Casper. So when I first heard they were discontinuing it, my heart sunk.
What was I to do? After several panic stricken Google searches, I came across Three Custom Color. The Dr. Frankenstein re-animators of dead cosmetics!
These guys are scientific geniuses! I sent them that sad little glop of lipstick that’d been clinging to the very bottom of my last tube and 2 weeks later, I received my order. I have to admit, I was a little skeptical but the first time I put it on, any trace of skeptism went out the window!
Founded by Trae Bodge, Scott Catto and Chad Hayduk. With more than 30 years combined experience in the world of beauty, overflowing with ideas and armed with two years of personal savings, they launched Three Custom Color Specialists from Scott and Chad’s apartment in Hell’s Kitchen, NYC in 1997. They started very small and over the years their client base grew steadily along with them. These days they have their own store on 5th Avenue. That’s quite a feat!
With Three Custom Color, your options are limitless. They allow you to choose your texture (i.e. matte, gloss) and add special effects such as shimmer. If you’re feeling creative, you can even invent your own color. You don’t have to stop at lipstick either. Eyeshadow, powder, concealer, you name it, Three Custom Color can do it. Been coveting your bff’s wall paper but think it would look better on your eyes than in your hallway? Send them a swatch and they’ll create it. Everything gets stored in their archives too so reordering is a breeze.

This little gem has been around for a while but our website hasn’t so I thought I’d put in my two cents.
This is basically the only eyelash curler those in the biz will use. For top make up artists and celebrities, this is bees knees of eyelash curling.
I myself am on my second go-round with Shu Uemura and couldn’t be happier with the results. If you’re like me, and suffer from small, barely there lashes you need all the extra help you can get. All those mascara companies that promise mile long, 90% thicker lashes, they’re lying! The secret to achieving those longer, thicker looking lashes is all in the curling and Shu Uemura has definitely perfected this art. The silicone insert with it’s sort of mushroom shaped design combined with the precision hinge deliver the perfect, long lasting curl everytime.
Perfect lashes come at a price though, $19 to be exact, and they don’t sell replacement inserts either. Now before you ‘lash’ out, consider this, Shu Uemura’s amazing curler comes with two inserts which will last you six months. They recommend using each insert for 3 months before disposing of them and investing in a new curler. Nineteen dollars is a small prices to pay though for six full months of amazing lashes.
