About Kelli
C R E A T O R

Hi, I’m Kelli and I love cosmetics. A LOT. I love skin products and eye shadow colors. I love lip stains and under-eye concealers. I love hair conditioners and anti-wrinkle creams. Give me some shimmery powder and a non-smudging mascara, and I’m yours forever. I'm OBSESSED with nail polish.  I have a vast and ever-growing collection.  I read beauty and fashion magazines like they are the manual to life (they aren’t, but still so very fun). But I’m also a mother of four on a strict budget, and it always makes me laugh in magazine spreads where they put their “budget-friendly” buys—where “budget-friendly” only means it’s a $95 face cream instead of the $175 one. Whose budget is that?! I’m easily suckered in by the promises on a label or magazine ad. And my cabinets are full of stuff I used a few times and gave up because they didn’t deliver. If you are like me, then this website is for you. Here is where I'll report my results on the products I love—or hate.  I'll also indulge in some light celebrity gossip and fashion criticism (not that I'm any kind of expert) and give my take on some of the more absurd magazine articles and cover looks.



About Missy
C O N T R I B U T O R

I'm Missy. I'm a working mom and wife and commit lots of fashion and style faux pas. I leave my make-up on when I go to sleep, I buy most of my beauty products at Target and I condition and flat iron my hair every single day. I started wearing make-up when I was 13 years old. Now 15 years later, I've mastered some skills (eyes), fretted over others (cheeks, eek!), and only dream of discovering the secrets to perfect skin. With red hair, brown eyes and fair skin, tackling the primping world is never easy, but I love a challenge, and I never EVER leave the house without make-up on! Here I'll dish more of my primping faux pas, show you my go-to favorite products, great new finds, and help save you time and money.
