One of the hardest things to find in the makeup world in my opinion are amazing matte pigments. Now, matte pigments aren’t necessarily rare- MAC sells them, for one- but most of the time they are a chalky mess, grab in some places and don’t stick in others, and are a real bitch to work with.

Lip Tar! My favorite lip product. Super concentrated formula provides the most pigmented color you can imagine using the tiniest amount of product. Beautifully applies with a lip brush (an angle brush is my favorite, you get crisp lines around your lips!) and easy to mix together to create a custom shade. Here are swatches of the newest tars, from ... Read More »
The Return of Sexy, Bringing Sexy back.. The name of this palette is making me wish that Justin Timberlake had something to do with it. Like, for example, hand delivering it to my door. No? Damn.
