BEAUTY

IT Cosmetics has been a part of my makeup bag for years now and I’m so happy that it’s finally getting the credit that it deserves. L’Oreal bought the company in 2016 from the founder, Jamie Kern Lima, for 1.2 billion dollars. Yes, you read that right. I first tried IT Cosmetics about 5 years and haven’t gone back since. While there are many incredible products. . .

Recently, I’ve gotten so many questions about beauty and I’m really trying to dedicate more time to sharing about it here on the blog. So in the next few weeks, you can look forward to posts about skincare, age-prevention, makeup, and of course, beauty tips. Today I wanted to share my super secret formula for cleaning your makeup brushes…

What is it about this generation that’s different then past generations? Is it that we are surrounded by “beautiful” people of every skin tone? What makes us thrilled that Fenty Beauty by Rihanna has finally forced every other mainstream beauty brand to make more than “medium, medium beige, and medium dark” shades for our skin tone?

I’m guilty of one of the cardinal breaches of getting your nails done. The sin of being basic and getting the same shade every – single – damn – time. Like clockwork, when the weather changes, I suddenly develop courage and try to mix it up. Here is what my nail salon experience looks like monthly. I call to make an appointment and inevitably show up late. . .
