Justin Bieber is a Party Animal!

It seems like ever since J. Biebs turned 18, he’s been trying to make himself seem a bit more edgy. Case in point: he was recently spotted wearing a t-shirt that said “never sleep, always party.” Hmm. I never got the impression that Biebs was a big partier.

In Our Makeup Bag: Clarins Gloss Prodige

Lip gloss is the perfect Spring/Summer handbag essential. Lighter and brighter than lipstick, it gives you an effortless, airy look. I definitely switch over to mainly gloss in the summertime and hopefully this new gloss fits my needs. I tried out two very different shades, Grenadine and Papaya!

Panties That Make a Statement, Literally [Photos]

One year in middle school, I remember that it suddenly became really cool to wear panties with words on them.

It was also very cool in my middle school to wear a skirt on top of pants, just to give you an idea of what I was working with here.
