It’s June & Google Reader’s July Cut Off Is Looming!

Google RIP
Hello!

As many of you know Google Reader will be axed come July. Buh-bye! Gone! Fin! Google has so much going on lately I can’t keep my head from spinning. Most days of my life are spent cowering in fear to open my browser and load up www.seroundtable.com because it is NEVER good news.

Someone hold me.

Possibly the worst offense is Google cutting off Google Reader. I happen to be Team Google Reader! It’s such a daily part of my life and it hurts my feelings they think it’s a great idea to snap their fingers and make it disappear. The general idea is to migrate the herds towards using Google+ more but honestly, Google+ sucks and axing Google Reader will likely not make me make a move towards embracing Google+. Actually it just makes me hate Google a little more. Ok, not true, when Google is good it is very good but when Google is bad…it’s VERY bad.

Anyway…

If you follow me via Google Reader I’ll disappear soon from you. Let’s not lose touch and let’s not force you to use Feedly *cringe, shiver, revolting I just threw up in my mouth a little face*

Might I direct you to Ye Old Reader? Visit theoldreader.com and you can take ALL your current Google Reader subscriptions and plop them right into Old Reader.

It’s simple, basic, and has a very Google Reader-like interface. Simplicity for me is sometimes great and The Old Reader is exactly that, SIMPLE.

If you don’t use a reader no worries!

I’m causing trouble on all the other social media sites as well so you can follow me on:

Now take a moment to bow your head and have a silent moment for Google Reader.

I shall mourn her with you when the time comes to say good bye!

P.S. Happy Weekend by the way! It’s a cold, rainy one in Gotham but I have a ton of great plans for the weekend and I won’t let the weather get me down!

Exit post humming the imperial march.

Shiseido Perfect Rouge Tender Sheer Review & Swatches

Shiseido Perfect Rouge Tender Sheer

When the makeup gods created perfect lipstick Shiseido Perfect Rouge Tender Sheer was on top of the creation list. There’s something so terribly appealing about a lipstick that glides on like melted butter and leaves behind glossy pigmented color that hydrates lips all through the wear.

Surely Shiseido Perfect Rouge Tender Sheer is divine!

Mary Kay True Dimensions Lipstick Review & Swatches

Mary Kay True Dimensions Lipstick Sizzling Red

I have absolutely must get my hands on more Mary Kay True Dimensions Lipstick as soon as possible. True Dimensions Lipstick is possibly the best lipstick I’ve used in a while.

I admit I cringed slightly when I noticed the $18 price tag. Seriously? I think of Mary Kay as more of an Avon type company so I was shocked at that cost. That’s closer to a mid-range brand like MAC! Gasp!

But I’m understanding why now…there are quality here!

You NEED this lipstick

Sephora Pro Visionary Lash Fan Brush Review

Sephora Pro Visionary Lash Fan Brush Summer 2013

Look mom I can tight line now thanks to the Sephora Pro Visionary Lash Fan Brush #220! The new Pro Visionary Lash Fan Brush is a whooping $18 bucks and so tiny I cringed a little when I thought about dishing out $20 for it (thankfully I didn’t have to but STILL!).

I mean I have no problems paying big $$$ for good brushes. I think spending money on good brushes is quite important as they’ll serve you well through your application.

But this is such a tiny brush I was a little worried about the cost!

But I promise that $18 is well worth it.

YOU NEED this!

Behind the Candelabra So Damn Fabulous

Anyone watch Behind the Candelabra? Seriously so freaking fabulous. I watched it with my best friend Jai and his boyfriend Mattie and we seriously had a complete melt down while watching it. There were parts in there you just couldn’t help burst out laughing at. Rob Lowe? OMG! Funny!

Dustin Hunter reminded me how great it was with his hysterical video on youTube and I had to share!

It’s another weekend my dears!

And a hot one at that.

I’m away for the weekend so can’t wait to get out of here today. I’m behind on comments sorry! Been working out kinks on Musings. The maintenance on this site boggles my mind sometimes icon sad And with the latest Google Penguin update it seems to early to tell if I was on its radar! Sure hope not! Apparently, if you’re a webmaster or just a super search guru, site: is working again. Thank god for small favors. Although Webmaster Tools seems to be wacked out lately…

Yeah most people don’t care about that portion of beauty blogging icon smile

What’s new with you this week?

I feel behind talking to you all!

I wish you a very happy weekend!

More reviews are scheduled throughout the day but I may be slow replying if you have a comment or two as I’m working on broken links behind the scenes here but will do my best to say hey here and there because anything to get me AWAY from this task!

Talk soon!
