Chicas, remember the episode of Sex and the City when Carrie explains why she doesn’t like sleeping over her then-boyfriend Aidan’s house? It was “because he buys that two-in-one shampoo and uuugh.” Well, I share her shudder at the thought of using a two-in-one shampoo and conditioner. How many of them actually make a girl’s […]

Guess by Marciano is! Just in time for Earth Day, the legendary denim line has introduced GUESS GREEN, a line of eco-friendly pieces made from organic cotton. The collection for men and women will consist of jeans, tanks and t-shirts (click here to check out all the styles). Guess isn’t the only denim line […]

RIP, Carly Smithson. This Dion-like diva, arguably the best vocalist of American Idol Season 8, was eliminated from the show last Thursday in a most unmerciful fashion, and I’m still getting over it. Whether it was her Irish roots, her “disgracing” of Jesus Christ (superstar!), her tattoos or her boyfriend’s tattoos that ultimately did her […]

I’m always impressed by stamps or seals of approval–for example, clothes in magazines that are A Steal! or supermarket food that’s Made Fresh Daily! Really, any kind of label excites me. Another one of my faves? Skin Cancer Foundation’s Seal of Recommendation. The sticker on which it reads is clear and blue, and I immediately […]

I’m blue. Blah, blah, whatever…I don’t care. That kind of blue. No particular reason; I just am. It happens, right? So, what’s the beauty-obsessed girl to do when the downers strike? Play with a new shade of makeup, claro. And this time, I went for the bold: Green eyeshadow. I have to say, I’m normally […]

Sooo…I’ve been reading some of your fabulous comments on my blog posts. Chicas, thank you! You know I love reading the feedback you send me and the tips you give one another. We’ve created our own beauty community—how cool is that? How-ev-ah (cue the scary music), I recently stumbled upon one reader posting that insinuated—no, […]

This weekend, I almost missed my subway stop reading a New Yorker article about elevators. Yes, elevators. What made it so interesting was that it included the story of Nicholas White, a Newsweek reporter who was working late one night in Manhattan’s McGraw-Hill building and got trapped in an elevator while on his way down […]

Today is the fifth and final day of All About Eyes Week, and I want to end by answering a very popular question you readers have been asking me: Where can I get that heated eyelash curler you blogged about? Well, first, I hear you ladies! I read all those comments you leave me, and […]

A tip about liquid eyeliner, ladies: Practice makes perfect. I find that the best way to apply it is to start about a quarter of the way out from your inner eye corner, then boldly sweep out to the ends. Just…hold your breath and do it! Then do it again, every morning, for, oh…about a […]

Hola chicas! It’s day three of our “All About Eyes” week here at Color Me Glam. Today I’m going to take you back–way back. Back to when I was but a tot; a blossoming teenager obsessed with Bibi Gaytan’s eyebrows. (Ladies, please, tell me you remember who Bibi Gaytan was! I say ‘was’ because after […]
