3.1 Phillip Lim x Target

I marked the launch date for 3.1 Phillip Lim for Target months in advance. I set my alarm to wake me up hours before my closest store opened. So it’s safe to say that this was a highly anticipated designer launch. Now that my credit card is cooling off, I can take some time to […]

A Beauty Review: True Girl Naturally Clear Pineapple Blast Zit Zapper

True Girl Naturally Clear Pineapple Blast Zit Zapper, ($16) Color me skeptical, but I really didn’t anything called a “zit zapper” would do anything for my skin.

A Beauty Review: It Cosmetics Anti-Aging Full Coverage SPF 50 CC+ Cream

It Cosmetics Anti-Aging Full Coverage Physical SPF 50 CC Cream, ($35) I’ll be completely honest, the qualifier “full coverage” terrifies me. I mean, who wants to look like you’re wearing a mask of makeup? Full coverage and lightweight aren’t terms that you’ll usually find together when you’re talking about foundations — and none of my […]
