Manicure Monday: Preppy Blues
My inspiration for this week’s Manicure Monday came from my weekend getaway in Ocean City, Maryland with my boyfriend. I’m typically dedicated to the Jersey Shore, but as a last hurrah before we both start work, we decided to do some traveling. Ocean City is absolutely beautiful. For those of you that know the Jersey […]
Manicure Monday: Black Caviar
5,000 page views and the purchase of our very own domain name is cause for celebration! I’ve decided to celebrate in the best way I know how – my manicure! The most perfect celebration manicure is a caviar manicure, of course. Thanks to an awesome graduation present from one of my sorority sisters (Thanks, Melissa!), […]
OPI’s Spiderman Collection
Are your Spidey senses tingling? OPI has done it again: the second you think they can’t outdo themselves… they, well, go and outdo themselves. The latest collection features shades inspired by The Amazing Spider-Man. In true OPI fashion, the shade names are almost better than the colors. From left to right: Shatter the Scales, My […]
Benefit’s Rare Beauty Snow White and the Huntsman Makeup Kit
Apparently the beauty world can’t get enough of Snow White and the Huntsman. Benefit Cosmetics came out with their own movie collaboration kit. While I love the products in this case (Benefit classics! And Porefessional is to die for), I think the set itself is kind of lame. There’s nothing new or particularly “Snow White” about the collection, (mascara and […]
A Leave-in Conditioner Worth Stalking
Have you ever found a product that works wonders for you, only to find that you can’t find it … anywhere?! For me, it was a L’Oreal Vive leave-in conditioner that I first started using two years ago in Greece. Read on to see how my love of this product sent me on a mad […]
NYX Cosmetics’s Dark Shadows The Crimson Amulet Collection
NYX Cosmetics certainly has a way with making show-stopping makeup palettes. (Last summer’s Jerseylicious palette, anyone?) Their newest creation is inspired by the only vampire film I am dying to see, Dark Shadows. Cute packaging and character bios aside, this set contains blushes, glosses, and powders you’d actually want to use. I was convinced that […]
Manicure Monday: Polka Dots!
For this week’s Manicure Monday, I was inspired by Pinterest. I’m not quite sure who pinned what, but I know I saw polka dots and needed to try it. Who doesn’t love some good ol’ fashioned polka dots? I wasn’t sure how to achieve this look without clumping gobs of polish onto my nail (which […]

Birchbox – And Why You Should Try It!
As a lover of all things beauty, I know the longing feeling of wanting to try every new product out there. I also know how expensive such a habit can be, as well as the heartbreak of an empty bank account. In order to curb my spending, I joined Birchbox. I like to explain Birchbox […]
