By On August 31, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Just because you’re off to college, dorm room living, and a shared bathroom, it doesn’t mean that you must kiss cleanliness away. While a new roommate means that you won’t be able to trust the state of your room or how clean your bathroom really is, with the help of ViolightZapi Toothbrush Sanitizer [...]

Beauty Chant: Flaunt it au Naturel with Tarte Green Siren Cheek Stain

By On August 25, 2009 · 2 Comments

You have heard me confess my almost unnatural obsession with Tarte Cheek Stains. Everyday I tell myself that it’s going to be o.k., that I don’t need another one, that the colors I have are just as beautiful as the new ones coming out, etc etc etc. And though I have been mostly [...]

By On August 24, 2009 · Leave a Comment

There’s really no faster way to ruin a good salad then to pour heavy dressing over it. Or to pour a careful mix of olive oil and balsamic vinegar only to find out that it still turned your crispy greens into an indescribable mush.

Now I know that this problem could be easily solved by [...]

Beauty Chant: Get Ivy League Pretty with Bobbi Brown’s 2009 Fall Collection

By On August 24, 2009 · 2 Comments

Now, tell me truthfully: when you think of Ivy Leagues, do you think of beauty?
I must say, coming from one and having worked at one, that it doesn’t. When I think of Harvard or Columbia, my mind fills with images of studious and hardworking students, with little time to worry about their eye shadow [...]

If nails could speak: Kiss Acetone goodbye with Sula Paint & Peel Polish

By On August 20, 2009 · 2 Comments

It’s hard to imagine that nail polish could vary much these days. There are new ingredients to be had, vegan formulas, hues that you didn’t even know existed, but more or less, the experience of painting your nails has remained the same: apply polish, remove it with nail polish remover when it’s chipped and ugly.
