Beauty Blog Lingo

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 ;-)
