Giorgio Armani Smoky Eye Tints Review

One of my signature staples is a great smoky eye.  I love a beauty look that can take me from day to night.  I also really love nude, taupe, and bronze shades because they enhance my hazel eyes.  Weird fact — my eyes have actually turned from dark brown to hazel since childhood.  Has this happened to anyone else? In any event, I was so excited to test out the new Giorgio Armani Smoky Eye Tints and Eccentrico Mascara.  As a long time fan of the Giorgio Armani beauty line — their Fluid Sheers are insanely gorgeous —  I knew…

Summer Skin with Million Dollar Tan

One of my favorite things about the summer is basking in the warm sun.  I know, I know — it’s not the healthiest pastime, and someday it will catch up to me.  Now that I’m in my 30s, I’m definitely much more proactive about keeping my skin healthy.  That includes limiting my sunbathing, wearing stronger SPF, and donning a wide brim hat — a glamorous one, of course!  Who said being smart about skincare isn’t fun? So, when Million Dollar Tan sent over their Summer Sun Tanning Mouse, I was so excited to test out their formula.  Summer Sun has…

Summer Skin with Aveeno

I don’t know about you, but when summer rolls around, my skin is feeling extra dry.  The sun, the sand, the sea — it all takes its toll.  It’s essential for me to find a good moisturizer that absorbs quickly, feels light, and doesn’t linger.  In the summer, the last thing I want to feel is sticky! While I’ve always been a huge fan of Aveeno products (their eczema cream is a lifesaver), I was really blown away by the Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Sheer Hydration Lotion.  This lotion made my dry skin feel powdery soft without the sticky feeling.  And…

Beauty Spotlight: June Edition {& Giveaway!}

c/o Belmondo The Cloud Face Cream $52  //  Words cannot express how much I love this face cream!  It certainly rivals my beloved La Mer soft cream for a mere fraction of the price.  The texture is oh-so reminiscent of its name — it’s bouncy and perfectly hydrating — without being too heavy or sticky.  It basically leaves my skin glowing for 8 hours.  Really cannot rave enough about this product.  It’s an A+! c/o Captain Blankenship Golden Waves Shimmer Texturing Spray $28  //  I was recently sent this sea salt spray and it couldn’t have arrived any quicker. It’s…

Recent Beauty Faves: Micellar Water & Frownies

One of my greatest interests outside of the fashion world is beauty and skincare.  Every month, you can usually find my nose buried in the latest issue of Allure magazine.  I love scouring the pages for the latest and greatest products and dermatological advances. So when Bioderma, a French pharmaceutical company, which specializes in the treatment of sensitive skin and other dermatological conditions, reached out to me about their micellar water, I was so excited.  I’ve heard the recent buzz about the unique benefits of makeup removal from this formula, which actually dates back to 1913.  The formula is comprised…
