Super cool things to read this weekend (holiday edition)


In honor of Memorial Day Weekend here in the U.S., I'm bringing you a super-sized weekly round-up of my favorite posts of the past week from my lovely fellow beauty bloggers.

And a note to my new readers: I hand-pick these posts myself based on their information about drugstore and bargain beauty products, but I will occasionally slip in a post about a more expensive product if I think it's something you should know about :) Enjoy!

Anthony over at The Art & Science of [beauty] took some pictures of his hair product stash and is asking his readers what they'd like for him to review. He's got tons of product knowledge about popular drugstore brands, so if you want him to review anything in particular, just leave him a comment and he'll be happy to oblige (in fact, he reviewed something specifically for me and it was super helpful).

Are LA Colors Mineral eyeshadows worth their $1 price tag? Leigh at The Cheapest Girl Around once again keeps it real and gives us the lowdown here.

Want to get all bronzed up for summer? JennBee at Bare Budget Beauty gives us a first look at the new L'Oreal Bronze Gone Brazen Collection and boy is it pretty.

Are you sad that you missed the free e.l.f. palette deal a while back? Well you might not be after reading Happy Face, Happy Wallet's honest (and extremely entertaining) review. PS: Love that fruit analogy, T.!

Did you know that Chapstick has a new balm with shimmer? Yeah, I didn't either! If you'd like a chance to win one of these babies, just click on over to The Makeup Divas and enter the giveaway.

Tanya over at Pink Train Case never fails to give me new things to obsess over and this post about the new and repackaged Sonia Kashuk products definitely didn't disappoint.

Josi over at the The Daily Beauty Break gives us her Top 5 Drugstore Beauty Products of the Week, including self-tanner that actually makes me reconsider using one again (after so many botched attempts I've lost count).

Looking for ways to put two different color palettes together to make a gorgeous eye? Check out Beda's Beauty Blog to see a dark silver and brown eyeshadow look that has me totally mesmerized.

With the summer months rapidly approaching, do you find yourself thinking about hardcore concealers for covering up a tattoo or maybe some spider veins? You may need to pay a bit more for a heavy-duty cover-it-all product, so let Amber at Beauty Junkies Unite give you her expert opinion on some new options.

Want the scoop on what colors are on trend for nails this season? Look no further than Beauty junkie London's breakdown of what's hot in the UK and beyond.

Happy reading and have a wonderful 3-day holiday if you're in the U.S.!

  2. Hey Beda! I swear I'm totally obsessed with it and I must try to replicate it using the colors I already own. I would have never thought to pair browns with silvers on my eyes but it works SO well on you! :)
