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 […]
Manicure Monday: Shark Week
I have to admit, when I sat down to start this manicure, Shark Week was the last thing on my mind. In fact, I really don’t even like Shark Week – and I definitely don’t like sharks. My goal was to sit down and create a DIY chalkboard nail art tutorial – but after a conversation about […]
Manicure Monday: Neon & Glitter
There’s bold manicures, and then there’s bold manicures. When you combine Color Club’s neon and Essie’s glitter, you’re bound to get a pretty bold manicure look. This week’s Manicure Monday features both fun glitter and bright neon. This manicure is not for the faint of heart – it involves bold polishes, a lot of tape, […]
A Beauty Review: NARS Larger Than Life Lip Gloss
NARS Larger Than Life Lip Gloss in Spring Break (pictured in the middle) ($26) Spring Break is a sheer nude pink. As a lover of all things makeup, NARS has been a brand that I’m absolutely gaga over, but is pretty out of budget for me to buy on a regular basis. When I got the opportunity […]
Manicure Monday: Gold Cross-Hatch
I’ve gotten inspiration for my Manicure Monday tutorials from my favorite clothes, from holidays, and even from just staring at my nail polish collection. But I also get my inspiration from one of the most inspiring places of all – Pinterest! If you can browse Pinterest without getting inspired, you’re pretty tough. I browse Pinterest […]
A Beauty Review: Fusion Beauty Prime Results Primer
Fusion Beauty Prime Results Brightening Primer ($42) Helps to even skin and prepare for makeup. When I first started using this primer, I fell in love. It left my skin with a smooth, velvety feeling. It kept my makeup feeling fresh all day, and that was exactly what I was looking for in a primer. But that […]
Manicure Monday: Ombre Graffiti
When it comes to creating nail art, there’s a lot of ways you can go about creating the look you want. You can either invest in a professional manicure – or you can get creative. Tape can help you get straight lines, a dotting tool (or even a bobbi pin or paper clip!) can create […]
A Beauty Review: mark. Min-a-Real Cream to Powder Foundation
mark. Min-a-Real Cream to Powder Foundation in Buff ($18) A mineral foundation that goes on as a cream and dries to a powder. After hearing rave reviews about this foundation, I knew I had to try it. A number of people told me that this foundation is perfect because it gives great coverage without being cakey. I […]
Bouchra Jarrar Couture N˚8 Paris Fall 2013: Makeup Breakdown by NARS
There are so very few things about couture that makes anything feel relatable, wearable, or accessible. That’s what makes it couture. Artistic, innovative, and out of reach. So whenever I see something that is undeniably couture and as luxurious as it gets, but still looks like something you could rock in real life? Well, that’s […]
