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…

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…

Caudalie

We all know that the French understand natural beauty better than almost any other culture. They value pure ingredients and fresh faces. I wouldn't be surprised if they were the first ones to say that the best makeup is the makeup that you can't tell you're wearing. Their beauty culture emphasizes skincare above all else,…

Moisture Surge

Overnight masks are truly a gift from God. Well, that may be a bit dramatic, but they're certainly lifesavers especially  you're skin is literally begging for mercy from the constant recycled-air berating it has endured after 14 hours of travel. That's the exact boat I found myself in this past weekend after a trip back…

Are you ready to play?

Those of you who follow me on Instagram know that I recently was taken off the waitlist for Sephora's monthly subscription box. Play! by Sephora consists of 5 sample sized products sent monthly along with a fragrance bonus and a cosmetic bag. Oh, and it's only $10/month. I have to say that other boxes have fallen…

Shea- Butterfingers!

Don't you love my pun-y titles? 😉 Today's post is going to be a quick one since this week is crazy busy. I've been juggling work, my best friend's birthday, and planning an upcoming trip so my apologies if this seems a bit rushed! I did want to get some content out to you today…

The Doctor Is In

I'm obsessed with bar soap. I love the way it looks in a soap dish, the way it lathers, and how easy it is to use. My ultimate favorite bar soaps are the ones I can use in lieu of body wash and/or shaving cream while I'm in the shower. I'm talking sudsy, moisturizing, and…

Aztec Secret

I try to avoid jumping on bandwagons. I tend to find that products with a cult following never really work out for me, and that runaway opinions can end up causing more harm than good. As a rule, I'm skeptical of anything that sounds too good to be true. However, every so often I hear…

New Kid On The Block

When it comes to beauty, certain brands arrive on the scene with such force that overnight their name is everywhere. These brands all have amazing products, wonderful packaging, and a certain aura of excitement and mystery that follow them around. When all of these things combine you'll see a cult/niche brand blow up in a…
