My Favorite Spring 2018 Beauty Trends

With the Sephora VIB sale starting (save 15% off EVERYTHING!!!) and Nordstrom Spring Beauty Trend Event happening this Saturday at Scottsdale Fashion Square, I've got spring beauty on the brain!! If you've never been to the latter, it is SUCH a fun morning to catch up on the latest beauty trends. They do a big fashion show, gift bags, giveaways, makeovers and reps from the top beauty brands come in to talk all about the spring beauty trends. It is VERY informative and a good way to really ...

2015 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Favorites

It's here, it's here! My favorite sale of the year is finally here and I feel giddy like a school girl. Every July, I look forward to the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, which pretty much promises the best price of the year and early access to some very, very sweet fall swag. Yes, it's still sweltering hot out but a little fall planning could mean a big shopping savings! Right now, if you're a Nordstrom cardholder you can shop the Anniversary sale early today through July 16. The sale "officially' ... View the Post

I am so excited for this month's beauty favorites, you don't even know. Actually, I got so excited to share, I postponed doing so just so I could be a bit more concise, ahh!

March Favorites

To be honest, I didn't have the chance to test drive a ton of new beauty products this month.

February Favorites

February is such a short month, it's not even worth saying it flew by. Because clearly, it did. This month, I'm trying out some new hair products and still on the hunt for the best red lipsticks. (I've been a bit obsessed with lipsticks lately, so let the rouge hunt continue!) Here are my February beauty favorites. Redken Quick Tease Backcombing Finishing Spray Where has this product been all of my life?! I am horrible at teasing, but since I have pretty fine hair, it's necessary. And I'm ... View the Post

My Favorite Fall Lipstick Colors

I can gab about makeup all day long, but lipstick has never been one of my go-to cosmetic items. Unfortunately, as I get older, I've noticed my lips have gotten much duller too and I can't just run out of the house without a bit of color anymore. (I know, cue the violins...) Needless to say, I've been sampling quite a few lipsticks these days. These three are some of my current Fall lipstick colors. Creamy Lip Color Favorite: Boots No7 Sheer Temptation Lipstick For something sheer and ... View the Post
