I used to simply wash my face with cleanser, but as I’ve gotten into my early/mid-twenties, I’ve really started leaning into a multi-step skincare routine. That means exfoliating, toning, applying serums and eye creams – the whole shebang! Because as much as I love creating a makeup look, I thoroughly enjoy taking it all off … Continue reading My Eight-Step Nighttime Skincare Routine
Ever since I visited Scent Bar last summer, I haven’t been able to get one particular fragrance out of mind: the By Killian Imperial Tea fragrance. It’s jasmine green tea in fragrance form! But because of my commitment issues with perfume, I’m not about to shell out $260 for one fragrance…no matter how intoxicating it is. … Continue reading Find of the Week

Tocca’s ‘Stella’ awakens the memory of … Continue reading Finding “The One”

I used to pretend the shallow bottom of my bathtub was a coral reef, and would search for “treasures” until my … Continue reading Rub-a-Dub-Dub, Wine-in-the-Tub
Although I’ve been a girly-girl most of my life, I got the beauty bug when I was in junior high. I used to sneak into my mother’s makeup drawer before school and coat my eyelashes with Diorshow mascara. Soon I was (not so) slyly taking items from her collection.
