Top 5 Fun-in-the-Sun Products: Sporty, Sexy, Cool
I don’t have to tell you I’m more of “lounge in the shade” than a volleyball-spearing, sand-kicking, wave-catching kind of beach bunny.

Pantone, the color forecasting and matching firm, has teamed-up with Sephora for a limited edition collection inspired by what Pantone has deemed the color of 2012, Tangerine Tango (“a vibrant orange reminiscent of the radiant shadings of a sunset”). Now orange isn’t my shade when it comes to my face, but the collection extents far [...]
Grunge-Inspired Beauty: About a Girl
In honor of the moody days (well, at least that’s the look we were going for) of my early-nineties youth, I’m paying homage to grunge-inspired beauty. While the spirit of the era was to be anti-pretty or au natural, babes like Kate Moss, Emma Balfour (a model few remember these days), Claire Danes (aka Angela [...]
MAC Très Cheek and Reel Sexy Collections: Riot of Color
MAC knows what I crave for spring: flushed cheeks and Technicolor hues to have some fun with! Well, mostly that rosy glow, but the Reel Sexy collection does appeal to my inner little girl who loves to play dress up. More importantly, I love bright blushes.
