How does the saying go? Good things come in threes? Well, I never thought that could apply to mascara, but apparently Benefit Cosmetics knows something I don’t.

Tried & True Beauty: You’re Stila the One
You’re gonna have to pardon my cheesiness this one time – I promise it’s for a good cause. Remember your first kiss? Course you do. If you’re like me, it was at some “party” in front of a bunch of prepubescent classmates as a result of a thrilling game of Truth or Dare (is that still a…

Tried & True Beauty: That’s so Fresh
This week Fresh announced their newest Sugar Lip shade, drumroll please….Tulip! Now, one would think 6 shades of lip balm is plenty for one girl to handle (see line up of shades gracing my desk at work) – but when I saw the first teaser posted to Fresh’s instagram, I was like a kid at Christmas who couldn’t wait for…
