15 accessories for Halloween and beyond
I love getting festive this time of year and while the 31st might be the most exciting celebration to decorate for, it’s by far the most short-lived. Think of all the time and money spent on candy, booze and costumes, only for all of the eery accoutrement to be packed away the next morning. Think of how early … Continue reading

In these humid summer months a quick swipe of lipstick and laquer can suffice as your morning beauty routine. I’ve paired together … Continue reading

Out of all the products in my Influenster VoxBox, I was most anxious to try the Schwarzkopf Professional OSiS+ Dust It Mattifying Powder. You see, I am constantly fighting with my hair, which most days is like a lion’s mane, yet droopy–a frustrating contradiction–always lacking a certain oomph. I’ve tried everything out there to turn up the … Continue reading
NYC Applelicious Glossy Balm
I’m a sucker for lipstick. Lip gloss, on the other hand, is something I gave up many years ago. (I sound like a former smoker…) I can’t stand the waxy smell, the glitter, the way your hair manages to get caught in the sticky goop. When received the NYC Applelicious Glossy Lip Balm from Influenster, … Continue reading
Secret Outlast Clear Gel
Of all the samples in my Influenster Spring Fling VoxBox (check out the rest of my loot here) I immediately put the Secret Outlast Clear Gel to use. Let’s talk deodorant, ladies. Sure, it may not make for the most alluring subject matter, but think about what an essential building block it is for any outfit. Confidence is a crucial element … Continue reading
