I’d be lying if I didn’t admit to stealing my mom’s red lipstick as a kid and singing into a hair brush to Madonna’s “Material Girl” in front of a mirror. Even though I didn’t have a comparable Marlin Monroe pink dress Madonna replicated in the video, I did have the iconic red lips. The only problem was, my mom’s crimson lipstick didn’t exactly match … Continue reading Lips like a Material Girl
It took me a long time to come around to the idea of using a face serum, but ever since I started using Vitamin Veil by Ambé, I’ve become hooked. I first received Vitamin Veil in a gift bag at Nolcha Fashion Week in February, and only recently decided to give it a try. I was skeptical at first, but ever since I started using the highly … Continue reading Product Review: Ambé Vitamin Veil
I’ve always had a difficult time finding a foundation to match my skin tone (read my foundation horror story here). My mixed ethnic background has produced a shade that’s darker than medium, but lighter than olive. Even when I tan, I still find it hard to find a foundation that matches, which is why I tend to stick to tinted moisturizers. My quest for a … Continue reading In search of “The One” – Sephora + Pantone Color IQ Review

When I was a beauty public relations intern, I asked my boss, who had the epitome of beautiful, wrinkle-free complexion, if I should be using eye cream. Her response was, “If you’re old enough to ask for it, then you’re old enough to use it.” I was also old enough to ask about botox, and I’m sure I didn’t need it at 19, so I … Continue reading Product Review: Skin Authority’s Dramatic Eye Lift
So, I’ll admit it. I’m a little scared of turtles, no matter what their size. I think my fear of turtles began in junior high school when I used to have a turtle as a class pet. When it was my turn to bring the turtle home, he somehow managed to escape while we were cleaning his tank. I know, I know, turtles are slow … Continue reading Turtle Jewelry
I simply adore the hot new caviar nails trend. Adding little beads reminiscent of caviar adds a 3-dimiessional look to your nails, and is able to be chic without making you look like you work for a circus. This week my sister purchased Ciaté Caviar Manicure™. There are three different head-turning color combos to choose from, and she selected the nail polish in Strawberry Milkshake (opaque … Continue reading Product Review: Caviar Manicure
This month I have developed a slight addition to pistachios. I love opening up the hard, beige shell to revel the smooth, bright green nut that lies within its confines. Pistachios contain powerful antioxidants and minerals that are good for hair and skin – not to mention they just taste great and are filling. I invite you to join me in trying some of these … Continue reading Ode to the Pistachio
I don’t know about you, but we women (and some men) often use tons of electrical appliances to keep our hair looking its best. Whether it’s a blow dryer or hair iron, we own tons of gadgets with long, tangled cords that can only be used when plugged into an outlet. On top of that, in order to use these tools we require the outlet … Continue reading Must-Have Product: The Style & Go™ Hair Care Valet
