This month I am CRAZY ABOUT CREAMS. Stay tuned for some of my favorite cream makeup products all throughout January. Hey, man, if you’re looking to break your neutral eyeshadow addiction, I 100% can’t help you there. Sorry not sorry to say that the NUDESTIX Magnetic Eye Colors ($24) will just throw metaphorical makeup gas on the neutral 🔥 fire, because hello glowing gold, bronze, beige and taupe! I’m crazy about these creams. They’re smooth enough to spread on toast! They’re like buttah, baby! Once they set, which takes about 30 seconds, you can pretty much forget about touching up...

Dude, can you believe UD’s O.G. Naked Palette is almost 10 years old? Wait — should that be in the past tense? Because UD phased out the O.G. Naked (RIP). They replaced it with Naked Reloaded, which’ll be out in less than week! Overview What is it? Naked Reloaded replaces the now-defunct Naked Palette. It has 12 powder eyeshadows, and four of the pans — satiny beige Bribe, shimmery golden Barely Baked, matte orange-brown Boundaries and matte peachy beige Blur — contain more product than the others. Those are the shades UD thinks you’ll use the most. How much is...

No, girl, seriously, if Trader Joe’s sold this in life-size buckets or barrels, I would strip down and just dunk myself into them from toes to chin, and I’d do it every day — perhaps even multiple times a day — because this new hand cream (AHHH!) feels soooo good. I got it at the store last Saturday. TJ’s has a few rose skin care products, actually. There’s also a rose oil and a rose facial toner, and this is the Rose Oil Ultra Moisturizing Hand Cream. It’s $4.99 for a 3-oz. tube and feels exactly like L’Occitane Shea Butter...

Don’t knock ’em ’till you try ’em, man! These flat platform sandals — otherwise known as “flatforms” — combine the comfort of a flat shoe with the height of a platform, so you get the extra lift without the achy arches and lower back pain from high heels. Side note: I can’t believe I just wrote that because it was only a few years ago when I was living in high heels practically 24/7, but now I wear flats all teh time, and my bod feels better. At first, I poo-pooed flatforms. I thought they looked like a Frankenstein-ian monster...

Layering liners. I’ve been doing this a lot lately because 1) it’s fast (since you don’t have to be terribly precise or do any razzle-dazzle complicated eyeshadow blending) and 2) because it lets you unleash the full fury of your creative side by conjuring up all sorts of fun finishes. For this look, I drew a baby cat eye flick on my upper lash lines with a black felt tip pen liner, then ran a glittery bronze liner right along the edge for sparkle. Next, I lined my lower lash lines with a pearly bronze pencil liner, smudged the edges,...
