Beyoncé’s ncLA Nail Wraps Are Everything, Obviously
Do you ever feel like if you could just capture even .0001% of Beyoncé‘s signature sassy style, you’d be set for life? Yeah, same. When I heard that Queen Bey came out with her own designs of ncLA Nail Wraps, it was as if I finally realized the exact way to score a little bit of her fierceness. […]
COVERGIRL #GirlsCan + A GIVEAWAY!
I grew up in the era of the Spice Girls – my childhood was a product of “girl power.” I did ballet and played the piano, but I also played soccer and went camping. If I wanted to do something, I did it. I had never considered that anyone would think there were things that […]
New York Fashion Week: Marc Jacobs Spring/Summer 2015
This season’s New York Fashion Week featured tons of creative ideas in fashion and beauty alike, and I need to start off The Collabor-eight’s coverage with the Marc Jacobs S/S15 show, which was actually the last official show of NYFW. Somehow, the runway show managed to combine totally natural elements like nearly-barefaced beauty looks and over-the-top accented […]
Jing Ai Cosmetics: Natural Beauty Products
I first heard of beauty brand Jing Ai Cosmetics while watching a beauty event on QVC (yes, I’m totally guilty of spending hours in front of the TV on Tuesday Night Beauty), and I heard great things about the line’s natural, organic ingredients, vegan formulas, and high-intensity color payoff. I was first able to actually […]
Manicure Monday: Au Naturale
You might be wondering why my nails aren’t painted here. I put a lot of thought into this week’s Manicure Monday post, but not in the way you’d expect. I have spent countless hours planning the colors, patterns and techniques I use to create a Manicure Monday tutorial each week. But this week – and for […]
A Beauty Review: FAST Shampoo & Conditioner
I never really cared much about my hair until I cut it off. In middle school, I’d throw a few braids or pig tails in and call it a day. When I started high school, I cut bangs. Until my senior year of high school, that was as drastic as I’d gotten with hair changes. […]
A Beauty Review: Benefit’s They’re Real Push-Up Liner
When Benefit announced their new They’re Real Push-Up Liner and said there was an opportunity to buy it before it hit stores, I couldn’t resist. I love makeup, I love makeup that’s supposed to make my life easier, and I loved the idea that it was exclusive. I was totally a victim of their marketing […]
Manicure Monday: Summer Sunsets
Summer is by far my favorite season. There is nothing I love more than relaxing on the beach – I love to put my beach chair right where the surf hits the sand. It’s hot out, but with the water coming up and hitting my feet … there’s just no better feeling. Naturally, I had […]
Manicure Monday: Favorite Things
I’m always looking for manicure inspiration everywhere I go. Sometimes I get inspired by a piece of clothing I own, sometimes I get inspired by a holiday or what’s on TV – and sometimes I just get inspired by the nail polish and nail art tools I have sitting in my room. This manicure was inspired […]
Lorde x MAC Cosmetics
By now, you’ve definitely heard “Royals” more times than you can count and you probably know her whole album by heart. But Lorde has more than just a one-of-a-kind voice – she has her own iconic style. That style landed her a collaboration with MAC Cosmetics, and we couldn’t be more excited. Let’s take a […]
