Does that makeup collection also need cleaning out, like the closet? The beginning of a new year is the perfect time to make that happen! Throw out any expired or separated items, share or get rid of items that just are not useful any more, and see what might need to be added. The same […]
I may be a fashion minimalist, but makeup is a different story! There are so many beautiful makeup pieces out there that I tend to collect them by the drawer full! Keep in mind that I usually prefer sets to palettes, but sometimes the palettes are hard to resist. Oh, and mini anything is very […]
How often have you breathed in that cold air as you swoop down the slopes, and felt the spray of fine white powdery snow on your cheeks? You step off the slopes and in front of a mirror, and find that instead of looking like a rosy-cheeked ski bunny, you look like a chapped, flushed […]
When you are shopping for the perfect foundation, the second most important criteria is the finish and the amount of coverage. (Since you asked, the absolute most important criteria is color match.)

I love the concept of having everything in one little container, especially when it comes to travel, but I find that these all-in-one palettes rarely […]
Now that the weather is approaching more fall and less summer (i.e., windy and cool versus humid and sweltering), my skin is once again putting up a fight. The breakouts are tapering off however the flakiness has returned with full force. So it appears that I can never be without my trusty concealer! I try […]
