Hello, pigment. This is Rose. 
Rose is one of three colors in Sonia Kashuk’s Super Sheer Liquid Tint line ($10; available at Target stores nationwide).
One full pump
Sheer isn’t what first came to mind when I tested Rose on my hand. The color looked rich and vibrant — not exactly fitting the Super Sheer name.
Spread it around!
Initially, Rose applies as a dark rosy pink, but her color fades over time…
All rubbed in
How sheer is it?
Within an hour of applying Rose on my cheeks, the color fades to a sheer, barely noticeable pink. Super sheer, indeed!

Happy Friday, girls! I hope your day got off to a good start. Mine is going well so far, but I think I spent a little too much time browsing the web this morning…
I’m sure you know how that goes.
Do you have any plans for the Fourth of July weekend? We may catch a movie or take a quick trip up to wine country. That’s always fun.
Let me know what you’re up to today. Tabs says hi.
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

The Dior Jazz Club’s frenzy of coolish pinks, purples, grays and burgundies reminds me of smokey eyes, knee-high boots and knit sweaters. It’s a truly fall collection, and it makes me want to skip down sidewalks covered in autumn leaves on my way to Nordstrom, where the new collection is on sale now (and soon to be online).
A few things of note…
- The collection has a *ton* of gray eyeshadows in a variety of textures, so if you wear grays well, it could be worth a splurge.
- All three blushes in the collection are light, shimmery pinks that may function better as highlighters for girls with darker skin.
- I couldn’t take my eyes off the 5-Colour Eyeshadow in Night Butterfly and the Creme de Glosses in Sweet Praline and Rose Nectar. I think all three would work wonders in a look featuring smokey purple eyes and nude lips.

There’s nothing like plastic bags filled with pee to soften your tow’ up tootsies.
Yup, courtesy of the Japanese beauty market, The Foot Pee! Pack comes with two plastic baggies filled with a sketchy-looking substance that may or may not be urine. Pop your dogs into the bags, et voila! — smooth and silky feet.
Normally, I’m totally down for new foot care products, but in this case I dunno…
