The other night Dan and I were hanging out with a friend of his, having beers and shooting the shit. I’ve only met this friend once before so he didn’t know about my obsession with all things beauty related, but of course Dan had to brag/complain about it. As soon as the kid found out…
I’m sure you’ve heard about #sephorasquad, but in case you’ve been living under a rock: #SephoraSquad is a different kind of beauty-influencer program. We celebrate the most authentic and inspiring voices in the digital beauty space. We value unique, unfiltered, sorry-not-sorry storytellers, no matter the number of followers they have. That’s why the program offers…
I mentioned last month that I was trying a natural deodorant, and despite my struggles, I’m still on the natural train. At this point, I’ve tried several different brands and formulas, and I think I’ve learned some things that may (or may not, who knows?) be helpful to you, my internet friends. I’ve already talked…

If you haven’t heard by now, Victoria’s Secret sucks. More specifically, Victoria’s Secret Chief Marketing Officer, Ed Razek, sucks. According to a new interview in Vogue, the CMO has a very specific vision for the annual fashion show, and that vision doesn’t include plus size or trans models. Their show is a “fantasy”, they have…

You all know that I watch a lot of YouTube. Like, A LOT. Especially when Dan isn’t here, and he’s in Philadelphia this week for work so it’s all YouTube, all the time. Primarily beauty “gurus”. I find them entertaining and many of them review things I’m into. Except for right now. Holy. Shit. Why…

Greetings internet friends! I’m back from another unintentional hiatus and I have lots of things to talk about! Spoiler: I’m so disappointed with this product. I’ve used a lot of La Roche-Posay Effaclar skincare products and have enjoyed all of them. The Purifying Foaming Gel Face Wash and Effaclar Mat Face Moisturizer are really lovely and I…

By now I’m sure you’ve heard that beautyblender launched a foundation. It’s vegan and (supposedly) full coverage, matte, long wearing and good for all skin types. It’s also exclusive to Sephora. I have some thoughts. Because I’m me, and of course. First of all, why are there 25 shades of light/medium, and 7 tan/deep shades?…
So… there’s a new blush trend. It’s yellow. Like, actual fucking yellow. As if someone was sitting in a field of dandelions with a toddler and allowed them to rub the pollen all over their face. And it’s shimmery. I don’t know why this is a thing. I’m practically speechless. Thoughts?
In preparation for my trip to Florida in April, I bought some sunscreen, like you do. The friend I was visiting, my #wifeforlife Sarah, doesn’t really believe in sunscreen, and even though she owns some it’s not something she brings to relevant places, like the beach or the pool. The last time I visited I…

I think my love for Lush has been well established at this point. I’ve only found a handful of products that I didn’t love immediately and I kind of love that they’re so eco-conscious. When they introducted their Naked Shower Gels I thought the idea was really cool, and less plastic ending up in landfills…
