Looks I Love: pre-FALL 2013

1. BOLD BROWS + BOLD LIPS: I’m enthralled with Michelle Williams’ fall Louis Vuitton campaign. I love the bold brows and lips with minimal eye makeup. A bold lip dominates the face, so trade in your eyeshadow and eyeliner for a couple of swipes of mascara (and don’t forget to fill in your brows!). 2. NUDE […]

Cuckoo for Coconut Oil

I am a sucker for all beauty products. No matter the store, I usually find myself in a corner swatching lip gloss, and 10 minutes later I’m out the door with a new nail polish. A couple of months ago, my tragic addiction led me to an entirely new realm: the grocery store. I saw […]

Dip Beauty Nail Lacquer

As a nail polish enthusiast and overall product junkie, I’ve tried what seems like every nail polish brand on the market.

Spring Nails

NYFW’s spring runways were plastered with pale pinks and nude nails. I am ECSTATIC because the majority of my nail polish collection is baby pink and nudes, and therefore justifying my excessive amounts of “nude” nail polish (that’s how it works… right?). Here are some of my favorites for spring. Essie Capri, American Apparel Neon […]

RED CARPET READY

Ah, the Oscars. The night the world comes together to judge whose spray tan looks like something out of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and whose hair just did not work with their dress (ahem, Cameron Diaz 2012). While the majority of us don’t get to walk the stairs of the Kodak, we do have events that […]

How To: the Perfect Manicure

Nothing feels better than walking out of a nail salon with a fresh manicure. However, most of the time our schedules (and wallets) don’t permit a weekly trip to the nail salon. Cue the miracle products. I have finally found a group of products that 1) makes my nail polish last for a week (give or […]
