Award season can definitely get a bit overdone…‘cause they all seem about the same. You have the pre-show on E! with bad to OK interviews, the presenters who present scripted introductions to the nominees, and acceptance speeches that either make you cry or want to turn the channel. HOWEVER, from the Academy Awards to the Grammy Awards, and the Emmy Awards to the indie Spirit Awards; I’m the first to admit that I watch them all! The fashion choices are always exciting to view (and judge). More »

For as long as I can recall, I have had an obsession with lip balm, lip-gloss, and anything else related to my lips. As an avid Carmex and Chapstick user, I’m always up for trying out new items. Which is why I was thrilled to check out the Kiss My Face SOS products, Sheer Organic Shine gloss and Sheer Organic Shimmer tints.

Coming in six shades in both the glosses and tints – Pear, Opal, Amethyst, Topaz, Ruby, Garnet – Sheer Organic Shimmer and Sheer Organic Shine are a great addition to your makeup bag.

These products are environmentally friendly; they’re 100% natural/91% organic, contain no parabens, SLS, phthalates, synthetic colors or flavors, and are not tested on animals. Plus, they contain vitamins A and E to repair and protect your lips. What more could you ask for?

My fellow Beauty Chatters also tried these awesome new glosses and tints, here’s what they had to say about them: More »

Big thanks to our frugal friends out there who commented on the “Budget Beauty Tips” article Jennifer posted at the beginning of ’09. This piece consisted of ultimate Beauty Chatter budget-saving, beauty secrets. Storing makeup in the refrigerator, using toilet seat covers instead of oil absorbing sheets, and using Vaseline on eyelids before applying eye shadow for a vibrant look; these are just some of the insider tips we couldn’t wait to share with you (including my “stick your face in the freezer to keep your makeup from melting off during the summer” tip).

In return, we asked you for your favorite budget beauty tip! Those that left their own beauty secrets were entered into a contest to win a spot on Beauty Chat as a guest blogger. So a big round of applause to Andrea Galvan of Things That Come to Mind… She shared this with us: “Running out of liquid eyeliner? Dip a pencil eyeliner in water and you get the same affect.” More »
