Blonde Rose

The right name can draw you in. That's what happened to me at least when I first heard the term Blonde Rose. It immediately conjured up images of Blake Lively, California beaches, and cool summer breezes, which is exactly what Clean's Reserve Blonde Rose perfume smells like. This scent manages to be sophisticated and feminine…

Zum Bar

When I first heard the name Zum Bar, I wondered if it was a new type of exercise craze. (If it was Zumba mixed with Pure Barre I was so in!) But when I discovered it was actually a type of soap I became intrigued. One of my friends told me about the brand and…

The Mask Set You Need For Radiant Skin

I'm a fan of single serving face masks. They're great to throw in your bag while traveling, can be selected based on how your skin is behaving at any specific moment, are inexpensive, and make a great addition to any girls night in. Recently I've been into sheet masks, which is why I added the…

Shaving Your Face Is A Thing…Seriously.

I think the title pretty much says it all. When I first heard that women were shaving their faces, I freaked out a bit. By a bit I mean completely. WTF?! Why would someone do this? Wouldn't that make the hair grow thicker? Isn't this a terrible idea?! Then I tried it. And it changed…

Third Time’s the Charm

I'm sure you all remember my obsession with the Urban Decay Naked Palettes from a few months ago. Today I'm rounding out my reviews of these delightful shadows by introducing you to Naked3. While previous palettes contained nude and gold tones, this one is all about the rose. It's got a range of pinkish shades…

Blackberry & Bay

I have long been in love with Jo Malone. I first fell for their packaging, which I came across while doing research for a design project in college. The elegant balance of masculine and feminine found in their cream base tone with black edging and copperplate typography made the designer in me cry out with…

Expert Defense

Today's post is special because it is one of the only times you will ever see me recommend a product I found at Walmart. This is primarily because going into Walmart terrifies me. It wasn't something I grew up near, and it's not in the best area of my current city so believe me when…

Celebrate!

What's the one blush color that's flattering on all skin tones? Peach! A good peachy blush is an essential in every girl's makeup bag. I like mine with just a touch of shimmer to keep me looking young and bright. My current go to is Tarte's Amazonian Clay Blush in Celebrated. It's the perfect pinky-peach…
