Say Goodbye to Dry Skin

I love fall. It’s my favorite season – something about the anticipation and the cozy sweaters. But while it’s an exciting time, it does have its downsides like everything else. Two that concern me the most are: 1. I have to kiss my tan goodbye. 2. My skin gets extra dry. While pale skin is

Behind the Mask

Up until recently, I never had been one to have an intense beauty routine. Yes, I moisturized and did the basic things, but I wasn’t into anything superfluous – I only had a spa facial once. But earlier this summer I was cleaning out my makeup drawer and found a facial mask; I tried it

It’s about that time! Soon we will be bidding adieu to summer and opening the door to Fall. I personally love this time of year – Autumn is a season of anticipation for some of the greatest things: snow, holidays, a new year. Not to mention we also need to swap out our summer wardrobe

Revitalize and Rejoice

Summer heat is known to cramp the style of all. It’s especially tough on hair, at times rendering the morning styling session useless – because as soon as we step out onto the sidewalk and into the sun, our hair goes nuts. This time of year can be parituclarly difficult on those with curly locks.

Put Your Game Face On!

We’ve all heard the old adage “dress for success.” This is particularly true for the workforce. If you present yourself well, people are more likely to take you seriously. And this is not only true for clothes – the same philosophy can be applied to makeup as well.   So maybe it’s the night before

Bumble & bumble has finally come out with a brand new product! The Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil is designed to tame pesky hair problems, while simultaneously nourishing your hair.

Foray Into Fall: The Eyes Edition!

Last week I gave you some ideas for transitioning into fall colors with lipstick. You can do the same with your eyes as well!   While pastel colors were super trendy for spring and summer, it’s time to transition to earth tones for fall. This means swap out silver for gold, and usher in the

Go Blue

Rules. They’re everywhere. Sometimes we hate ‘em, but they exist for a reason, right? When it comes to makeup, a rule of thumb that I heard of rather frequently was that you shouldn’t pair heavy eye makeup with bold lips, otherwise it can be too overbearing. But when I saw this photo (below) of a

Halloween Costumes, Big Screen Style

I cannot tell you how many times I found myself scrambling for a costume the night before Halloween. In grade school we were allowed to dress up for the big day, and I always left my costume decision-making until the last minute. So I’m posting this more than a month before Halloween, that way you

A Hairspray That Does It All

Many girls have childhood memories of watching their mother primp in front of the mirror. For me, I remember my mom using her hairspray – she has always had a shorter ‘do, so she relies on the the product for styling and support. When you think about it, hairspray is a classic staple that is
