Raging Rouge Beauty Blog: For Makeup Lovers Everywhere!
Someone recently asked me what the latest beauty trend is. My response was only one word: matte. Matte is back baby, making the old cliché “what is old is new again” truer than ever.
Modern matte is all about balance. Mix matte finishes with a touch of metallic, frost, or sparkle, and you’ve nailed the trend! A great way to update your stash is with these matte finishes from the new MAC The Matte Lip Collection. More info if you click through the jump! [Read more…] about MAC The Matte Lip

I bought these Stuart Weitzman Byway Slides for full price ($335) at Shopbop.com in mid May. I love wearing a slide design in the summer. It’s a dressier look than a flip flop style, but just as easy to slip on and off.
A few weeks later, Shopbop marked the price down to $234.50. But… they have this amazing policy where you can get a price adjustment. Even though the markdown happened long after the price adjustment window had closed for me, the kind customer service rep. adjusted the price for me and issued a shopping credit.
