Grapefruit + Eucalyptus Scrub

Shaving in the Modern World

Shaving in the Modern World

Concrete Shaving Kit from Mjolk. I distinctly remember my parent’s bathroom closet in the house I grew up in. It wasn’t off-limits, but it had the feel of the forbidden with boxes of bandages and creams, and various other toiletries….

Beauty Must Haves

Beauty Must Haves

Summer is winding down, but it’s still too hot in most of the States to worry about full makeup for school and work. Yet, going bare-faced to work and meetings isn’t going to cut it. Here’s a few of my…

Urban Decay Blues

Urban Decay Blues

  I’m loving these shades of blues from Urban Decay. Don’t they look delicious? I usually stick with neutrals, but am thinking of branching out this season into something a little funkier.

Texturize Your Hair

Texturize Your Hair

{photography by burnthelies} “Healthy hair is like satin. You can’t do anything with it. Coloring damages your hair, that’s why you have so much more texture. My advice to produce texture is not to shampoo your hair every day and…

Tip #23

Have curly or wavy hair? Want perfect summer hair? Don’t towel dry! It roughs up your hair and creates frizzies. Instead, blot it until excessive water is removed, comb out, spread a curl enhancing mousse and squeeze the strands up…

Tip #22

Need a lightweight nighttime moisturizer? Have sensitive skin? Use Murad’s Skin Perfecting Lotion. It’s soothing to even the most sensitive of skin (mine!), doesn’t clog pores, and fulfills every other promise it makes. A tiny little bit is used each…

Tip #21

Have a late night? Dot a little bit of highlighting creme on the top part of your cheeks, down the ridge of your nose, and on the very top outside part of your eyelids. It will brighten and illuminate, even…

Tip #19

Wax your eyebrows? Switch to threading. It’s less likely to damage skin, won’t cause breakouts or wrinkles, and lasts twice as long as the typical wax. -Source: Me!

Makeup Obsession

A few weeks ago I posted on Facebook that Google was my best friend. In reality, it’s the next best thing. I can ask it anything. And a few weeks ago I asked it how to get rid of undereye…

Tip #3

Dry cuticles getting you down? Use Chap Stick Moisturizing Lip Balm. It works just as well as more expensive cuticle oils and cremes.

Tip #1

Keratosis pilaris. A fancy name for those bumps you get on the back of your arms. They’re especially bad during winter. Get rid of those nasty white bumps by exfoliating your arms every other day in the shower with a natural loofah….
