Beauty Blog Lingo

Posted by Heather | Filed under Beauty Support & FAQ

After chatting with some good friends this weekend (Thanks Marie!), it was brought to my attention that I do have readers out there…HI EVERYONE!!! Haha! She also told me that she had no idea what UDPP was, which is a very valid question since I use it in nearly every post! So I thought that I’d put up a list of some abbreviations that are used in beauty blogs. Here are a few of the important ones…IMO ;-)

BBR – refers to the MAC collection Brunette, Blond, Redhead
BNIB – Brand New In Box
CK – Calvin Klein
e/s – Eyeshadow
EOTD – Eyes of the Day
FL or f/l – Fluidline
FOTD – Face of the Day
HG – Holy Grail
HTH – Hope This/That Helps
IMHO – In My Honest Opinion
IMO – In My Opinion
IRL – In Real Life
l/g – Lipgloss or Lipglass
l/l – Lipliner
l/s – Lipstick
MA – Makeup Artist or MAC Artist
MLBB – My Lips But Better
MUA – MakeUp Artist
MUFE – Makeup Forever
NIB – New In Box
NOTD – Nails of the Day
OTT – Over the Top
PP – Paint Pot
UDPP – Urban Decay Primer Potion
UDPPS – Urban Decay Primer Potion in Sin
VG – Viva Glam
WOC – Women of Color

If you’re a beauty blog junkie like me (or occasionally read some) and can think of some more, please add them in the comments. Thanks so much! HTH ;-)
