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: Lancôme Color Design Sensational Effects Eye Shadow
Lancôme Color Design Sensational Effects Eye Shadow in “It” List ($19) A deep, matte black shadow. Warning: this shadow is black. Perhaps the deepest, darkest, truest black shadow I own. Which is why I absolutely love it. I use this shadow mainly to set my black gel eyeliner. I always like to set my eyeliner with a similar shade […]
Manicure Monday: Watercolors
Admittedly, I’ve been getting pretty technical with my manicures lately. From chevron to tribal print, some of these manicures really require a steady hand. With today’s manicure, that’s not the case. While the look may have been inspired by the gorgeous paintings of Monet and Cézanne, you don’t need to be a famous artist to […]
A Beauty Review: mark. Please Hold Eye Primer
mark. Please Hold Eye Primer ($9) Thankfully, I don’t often have problems with my eyeshadow creasing, so trying eye primers was never the first thing on my list. As a lover of all things beauty, however, I need to know how different products work, so I decided to give primers a try. Boy, am I glad I […]
