Determining whether or not new beauty trends and products are worth the hype is getting harder and harder as marketing gets more efficient. I heard about micellar water through a group of beauty gurus I happened upon on Facebook, but ...

I grew up splitting my time between two houses: one with a single father in it (we ate a lot of ice cream), and the other kept my mom and sister, whose skincare educations started in their early teens. I did ...
The first time I moved into a vintage apartment building was on the north side of Chicago when I was 23. It was a tiny little place with an exposed brick wall, exposed pipes, and a stunning wood floor. Sure, ...

Lumene sent me their Waterproof Eye Makeup Remover ages ago, but I am extremely particular about my reviews and demand long-term use of most products before I even consider reviewing them. I used this for the majority of 2014 and ...
Growing up is a weird game when it comes to beauty. My mom has encouraged me to moisturize with skin-protecting ingredients since I was about 13, but of course - like most advice I received in my teenage years - ...
One of you is just about 8 mouse clicks and one week away from an entirely new, free-of-gross-chemicals skincare collection from Earth-friendly & crazy ethical beauty brand, derma e. Haven't heard of them? Well they've been a family owned business for ...

Finally! Smart stores with gigantic online commerce are wising up to the fact that everyone hates paying for shipping. Hate it... a lot. Amazon tackled this issue by offering Amazon Prime, which gives subscribers free 2-day shipping on select products for ...

If you've ever looked at a skincare aisle in a drug store and could only figure out what 1-3 of the products are used for (...which doesn't mean you know how to use them...), this post is for you. And by ...
Maybe this is going to sound weird to some of you, but there isn't a day that goes by that I don't have deodorant in my purse. There is literally nothing worse than being somewhere important and smelling yourself. Purse deo ...
I am a huge stocking fan. I'm just a huge holiday fan, in general, but putting thought & effort into the tiniest gifts is so much fun, I get excited about it every year. I like to keep a stash of mini-gifts ...
