This morning’s issue of The Zoe Report (TZR), Rachel Zoe’s daily email newsletter, featured orange makeup. I thought it sounded a little kooky at first, but after thinking about it, I realized that I used to have a Clinique Mini Superbalm that was orange. It gave my lips a fun, alternative glow to the usual pink gloss. More »

Each year, Marc Jacobs releases a new set of limited edition body splash fragrances. I’m a regular user of Marc’s signature perfume, but sometimes during the summer months it’s nicer to just use a lighter scent (I’m no scientist, but I seem to remember from a science class that the warmer the weather is, the faster molecules move, making perfumes seem stronger). The new collection of scents are inspired by things in a patisserie shop (Look at the macarons in the ad! So cute!!), so you can be sure they’ll be yummy! More »

From Ningin: Only half way through Round II of MLG Season I and already we know who the stars are of this round! Speaking of stars, if you can imagine me speaking with a southern accent, I’d be saying this: “Oh my stars!

My hair is really light and fine and straight, which is wonderful because I’ve never even owned a straightener. I can easily pull off the sleek and glossy look with my hair, but when it comes to creating hairstyles that require bobby pins, I run into trouble. My hair is so fine that pins and clips usually just fall out of it. I got a tub of Sally Hershberger Wreck & Roll Texturizing Cream in a gift bag at an event last year, and my life has never been the same. More »

MAC announced that they will release a new color collection called Riveting on February 18th!

I’m a pro when it comes to the five-minute face, but it’s probably only because I’m not a morning person. Since I work out of my home most of the time, there is really no reason to get all dolled up. A quick makeup routine is also convenient if you go to the gym regularly or have to leave the house in a jiffy to pick up your dry cleaning. So how do you plan a five-minute face? More »

When I was in high school, my mom bought me a set of Sephora makeup brushes, and I had no idea what to do with them. Eventually, I learned what each brush was for and realized that they made my makeup look a lot better than it ever did before. Up until that point, I always used my fingers to apply. More »
