The Perfect Updo for Curly Hair

As a curly haired girl myself I can confess that updos pose a problem. (Namely, how can I wear my hair up without slicking it back into a tight ponytail?) Our lovely model from Viva Day Spa, nail technician Julia Simpson, has the most amazing head of curls. We paired her up with stylist Erica Rae to demonstrate […]

This Dry Shampoo Is My Secret To Second Day Hair

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Drybar. All opinions are 100% mine. How often would you say you “have” to wash your hair? According to our in-office poll, typical answers vary quite a bit, from an astounding seven days (Chanel) to four (Jenn) to my measly two day limit — but the […]

The Best New Sunscreens

It seems like winter is never-ending… and just like that, it’s the time of year where we’re all in a panic about how to protect our delicate complexions that haven’t seen the sun in months. It’s certainly an upside that there are more products than ever on the market to help you find the exact […]

The Box Fishtail Braid

We designed our first ever Camille Styles caps for this year’s #GetHealthyGetTogether and that got us all talking about our favorite ways to wear caps outside of the gym. We asked our favorite stylist Erica Rae to come up with a great hair solution for wearing baseball caps in the summer, and she created this super […]

These Sunless Tanners Will Get You Golden Without a Streak in Sight

I’d consider myself a reformed sun worshiper. Around the time I turned thirty, I finally woke up to the fact that the destructive qualities of getting a “real” tan are not cool. Late to the party, I know, but I was in denial for many years. But the fact that I wear my SPF religiously doesn’t mean […]

The Best Tricks for Hiding Roots

I’d like a show of hands: does anyone actually manage to stick to the recommended six to eight weeks between color appointments? No? If you’re anything like me, six to eight months can go by (okay, maybe not quite that much, but still) before you realize that your hair is basically screaming for a trip […]

2 Perfect Hairstyles for Showing Off Your Tassel Earrings

Summer is the season to shake things up and have some fun with our accessories. Think embellished sandals, beaded collar necklaces, embroidered woven bags, and my favorite accessory du jour: these oversized tassel earrings that are just begging to shimmy and shake and dance on beachside tables. Luckily, they’re the perfect way to dress up an […]

The Best New Highlighters To Make You Glow

As we emerge from a long (way too long, right?) winter, I for one have my complexion on my mind—specifically, how to get the appearance of health back after the cold, dark days stole my skin’s mojo. My regimen has consisted of adding a face oil under my day lotion, upping my water intake, and, […]

3 Fresh Ways to Wear Flowers in Your Hair This Spring

When we asked stylist Erica Rae to dream up a few fresh ways to wear real flowers as hair accessories, we knew she would come up with something that wasn’t a floral crown, (even though let’s face it — we’ll never stop loving those.).  Food, fashion and lifestyle PR Gal Mandy Mayekawa was the perfect model for these three looks, and […]

How to Rock Curly Bangs

Looking back over our catalog of past beauty tutorials, we can’t deny that we’ve neglected to feature naturally curly hair over the years. As a curly-haired girl myself, I can tell you that it doesn’t always photograph well. I’ve always felt a bit limited in terms of possible hairstyles. Bangs are tricky for me because I tend to […]

The Hottest Spring Lipstick Shades

I can’t believe that I can finally say this, but spring is here—and this season, I’m craving a major overhaul of, well, my entire life. This is the year, my friends, that my life is going to get Kondo-ed from top to bottom, my wardrobe is finally going to get capsule-ed, and my makeup bag […]

These Are The Nail Polishes Our Editors Swear By

I’ll admit I’m not the best at-home manicurist, but there’s no question that having the right polish makes the job 10x easier for us amateurs. We polled our beauty council of experts to find out their tried-and-true polish picks, and many of these do triple duty by strengthening, conditioning, and adding the perfect no-chip shade of […]

These are the Essentials for an On-The-Go Makeup Kit

As annoying as it is to see my makeup disappear as the day goes on, I have to admit that “super-long-wearing” makeup usually doesn’t appeal to me. On one hand, I’m a little suspicious of the chemicals that the product contains to essentially stain the skin (they can’t be that healthy, can they?)—but besides for […]

5 Easy Ways to Add Volume to Your Hair

For me, a good hair day equals one where my hair has as much volume as possible (go ahead and let the Texas big hair jokes fly, I can take it.) I’ve tried just about every trick under the sun, from shampoos to sprays to special brushes, and only a few have resulted in hair […]

How To Fight Signs of Jet Lag

Occasionally leaving on a jet plane is essential to regaining one’s sanity—but before you get to reap the rewards of far-off vacation, you have to face the flight first. And, let’s be real, the actual act of traveling is anything but relaxing, for you or for your skin. It’s moments like this where I am […]

The Right Way to Use Bobby Pins

We’ve never done a beauty tutorial on something this simple before, but when stylist Erica Rae showed us the “proper” technique for using bobby pins we had to share it on the blog. The collective “oooooh” that resonated from our entire team was proof enough that most of us aren’t using bobby pins correctly, and […]

Your Perfect Lip Gloss, Found

In my purse you’ll usually find no fewer than 5 lip glosses, and it seems I’m not the only one: just peek inside the handbags of the rest of our team for proof. There’s something about lip products that begs to be part of a collection that includes one for every mood, outfit and weather condition. Of […]
