As someone who completely disregarded eyebrow tweezing advice, and over-plucked her own brows in the ’90s to get those perfectly skinny 90s brows, let me assure you that the rumors are true. If you over-tweeze your brows on the regular, they will not grow back. I’m not sure why this isn’t true for any other …
Beauty // 9 of My Makeup Must-Haves & Current Nail Color Du Jour
Just like with fashion, personal style, and home decor, I like to mix a nice balance of drugstore brands and designer items {high-end and low} into my makeup bag, or well, makeup drawer, rather, because I like using what works. So if it’s $3 or $30, I don’t care. If I like it, I use …
Makeup looks to inspire by Makeup Artist Elena Pivetta

Recreating Bardot // My PCA’s Red Carpet Look w/ CoverGirl
I LOVED the fun Brigitte Bardot inspired look my Glam Squad created for me to wear to The People’s Choice Awards last week with Walgreens… mostly because it was a sort of AMPED UP version of my normal go-to smokey eye and fleshy lip, but also because it made me feel fabulous. No matter the …
