Kevyn Aucoin Molten Lip Colors and Neo Setting Powder Review on Medium Brown Skin

Kevyn Aucoin Molten Lip Colors and Neo Setting Powder Review on Medium Brown Skin

I remember back when I’d just started getting serious about a career in Make Up Artistry. I dove into all things Make Up Artist history and wanted to immerse myself in learning techniques from influential Make Up Artist that would help me nail down the important basic. While attending the Make Up Show NYC I kept hearing about the late renowned makeup artist Kevyn Aucoin and realized that I probably should get hip to who he was. After the show, I purchased his book “Face Forward” and used that book along with several others to practice my techniques. Fast forward…

It’s Shopbop Sale Time!

It’s Shopbop Sale Time!

I’m still 100% into my capsule wardrobe, unfortunately, I always struggle with the Spring and Summer months due to the fact that I work in a lab and we have strict rules as to what we can and can’t wear. During these months I focus more on my accessories than the actual clothes because they can really change the entire look of your outfit. I love to grab things during Shopbop’s Event of the Season Sale because I can pick up key designer items on my must-have list and save money. The sale is on until Sunday 4/16 so don’t…

Quite honestly, sometimes I felt that if you even looked into the room as you passed by you’d turn to stone. For us, that room was the formal dining room. It held a grand China cabinet and a large…

Fashion Finds Galore at Saks Off Fifth in King of Prussia

When I set out to curate my ideal handbag closet my wallet hid in fear. This endeavor would cost me thousands of dollars if I didn’t play it smart. Since I’m not ever one to pay full price for fashion I knew that I could grab great finds by shopping at outlet stores. Most outlet stores are hit or miss when you’re shopping for one item in particular, however, if you’re patient and stay in the hunt you’re bound to snag exactly what you’re looking for! Off Saks Fifth Avenue opened their first outlet store in the Plymouth Meeting area…

Using Carefree® in the Morning Creates Carefree and Confident Days!

Using Carefree® in the Morning Creates Carefree and Confident Days!

I was asked to participate in the #CarefreeMornings campaign, sponsored by Carefree at Target. Although I have been compensated, all opinions are my own. Most people dread mornings, but I’ve found that mornings are what you make them. You chart the direction of your day by your morning thoughts. It’s like when you wake up on the “wrong side of the bed” and just feel cranky the rest of the day. I’ve found that I’m more productive and able to successfully achieve my goals when I wake up and immediately get started on my day. Of course, I always take…
