Seems brushes are out and appliqués are in; at least when it comes to eye shadow. Have y’all seen these almond-shaped eye cutouts (or…pads…or discs)? They’re pieces of paper with eye shadow in place–the contour color, pop color, and highlighter, already set up on the gauzy strips–and all you have to do is place each […]

As a fair-skinned Latina, I have to be careful with eye shadow. Lots of strong, dark (aka fun!) colors can take over my face and scream my presence in a room long before I can introduce myself. But I love, from afar, Cover Girl’s new Blast Shadows: like the electric green “Lime Alive” and almost […]

August is here! About that, I am sad and glad. Sad because that means the summer is that much closer to being o-v-e-r. Boo, whaaa! But I’m glad because it means we’re that much closer to my birthday! And it looks like I just got an early present: Launching in August is T3 + Orlando […]

Hola chicas! It’s another Monday morning, another sleepy-eyed case of the blahs. But, my mood is always lifted when I have cool beauty news to share with y’all. Today’s talk might be a little uncomfortable for some. Myself included. See, I’ve always hated bathroom humor. I’m talking about jokes that revolve around poo and far–-okay, […]

Dayum, Daisy! Were you always this hot? Or did we just stop watching you when MTV stopped playing music videos? In either case, a bronzed goddess-like statue must be erected in your honor and sent to your attention immediately for showing the world what smokin’ hot really looks like. It’s not anorexic. It’s not suffocating […]

Not to look a gorgeous cover in the mouth, but America Ferrera is wearing some pretty ferosh burgundy lipstick on the cover of August’s BlackBook magazine. Frankly, I’m digging it. Never mind that most media outlets try so hard to prove this Ugly Betty isn’t really ugly (helloo, it’s called acting; costume, wardrobe, the whole […]

Oh, Mariah. What would this world be like Without You? We’d be a beautiful Butterfly short of blissful; a bee without our golden Honey. One Sweet Day you’ll no longer be with us, but, thankfully, that day hasn’t come. This scenario is merely a Fantasy; you’ll Always be our Baby; our mini-dress-wearing, slightly cheesy, forever […]

Hola chicas! It’s day two of Cover Critique Week here at Color Me Glam, and today we’re coveting Penelope Cruz’s smoldering glam-next-door look on August’s W magazine. If Angelina Jolie hasn’t already inspired you to try black liquid eyeliner, maybe this shot of Penelope will. But what I really love is the pairing of the […]

Hola chicas! I am so very excited to begin my first ‘Cover Critique Week’ here at Color Me Glam! Not only am I psyched to dish on the makeup, fashion and overall images, but I’m most proud to say that between the months of August and September, we have five fabulous Latinas gracing the covers […]

Hola chicas! I’m always, always on the hunt for a fabulous lip balm. And I love many, but I’m not in love with any one. So please, leave me a little note here and let me know of your favorite so I can try it. In the meantime, if you’re in the market for […]
