Night Moisturizers

My grandmother always had the most baby soft skin all the way into her seventies — I can still remember the velvety feel of her cheek as she wrapped me into a hug. She attributed her incredible skin to the rich moisturizing cream that she diligently applied every night before bed. I used to watch her go through […]

The Coolest New Face Cleansers

Face cleanser. Let me take a guess — it’s probably not the most exciting product in your medicine cabinet. Out of all of the fun lotions and potions out there, cleanser is one of those categories that we usually look to as a utilitarian product: does it take off my makeup and leave me feeling clean […]

Braided Plaits

We spotted this look on the red carpet during awards season and fell in love with the unexpected combination of delicate braids paired with sleek, blown-out hair. Stylist Erica Rae stopped by to demonstrate the look on the lovely Jenna Filardi, winner of our latest Camille Styles instagram model search. “Most people automatically think ‘bohemian’ when it comes to […]

9 Dry Shampoos That Will Bring Your Locks Back to Life

The day of a big event or a night out, I usually blow-out and style my hair in the morning since I know I probably won’t have time to do it later. But by 6 o’clock, my fine hair has almost certainly lost it’s “oomph.” For reviving limp locks, dry shampoo is my ultimate secret weapon; with a few […]

New Fall Lip Shades That Flatter Everyone

So, it’s no secret that girls love fall (Pumpkin spice! Changing leaves! SWEATER WEATHER!), but I love this season for a slightly more uncommon reason: fall lipsticks! There’s nothing like the first time you swipe on a rich berry, matte brick, or velvety nude lipstick after months of applying the same pink-and-coral lippies all summer. […]

Twisted Side Pony

A few weeks ago we held an open call for models on instagram and the response was truly overwhelming. We had so many truly beautiful, stylish readers who were willing to be a part of our beauty tutorial series! It was next to impossible to choose from all the applicants, but reader Taylor Boose (with her gorgeous […]

The Best Tinted Moisturizers

I know, I know… it’s fall. So, you might expect me to be advising you to switch out the light tinted moisturizer that you wore all summer with a heavier, more opaque foundation in honor of the changing season…right? Well, if you’d like to get your foundation recommendations, you can head right over here. But […]

The Lipsticks That Beauty Experts Can’t Live Without

They say that nothing makes you feel better than buying a new lipstick, and I’d have to agree: it’s the quickest, most affordable “splurge” that can improve a bad day and make you feel instantly more confident. But it’s equally great to have one go-to lip color in your arsenal that can always be relied upon to […]

7 Products to Steal from Your Boyfriend

I’ll be honest: while I like to believe that I’m not as high-maintenance as some ladies out there (like my always-immaculately-turned-out mother), the truth remains that I am not a tomboy. I like beauty products, and I like them a lot (hence the career choice!). However, while I’ve always been enamored by the search for […]

These 12 Mascaras Are the Best of the Best

I have a feeling that most women’s “desert island” makeup choice would be mascara. There’s nothing that adds polish and prettiness quite like it, but there are also about a thousand different options (with new ones hitting the market daily) claiming longer, thicker, curlier, fuller, or more natural lashes. How’s a girl to choose? We polled […]

7 Cult Drugstore Beauty Finds

There’s a time and a place for a good beauty splurge, for sure—think your fail-safe foundation that costs more than a few bucks, or a pricey lipstick that makes you feel like Wonder Woman. But for your everyday staples, the offerings at your local drugstore are better (and cheaper!) than ever. Drugstores are where are […]

Nailing The Perfectly Loose Low Bun

This is a look that we love and have seen all over Pinterest, but when it comes to creating the “effortless” low bun on ourselves, well… things aren’t as easy as they seem. If not executed properly the low bun can just plain sloppy, or worse, like something out of American Gothic. Stylist Erica Rae knows a thing or two […]

The Best Foundations + Tinted Moisturizers

When it comes to beauty products, are you loyal to one brand, or are you more of a serial dater? On busy mornings, I’m generally a fan of sticking to one tried-and-true skincare and makeup routine, so I’ve always been a tad obsessed with uncovering the very best in each category. Which is why I’m so pumped […]

Secrets to Air Drying Your Hair

There’s a time for a post about the best tools and products for getting and keeping and blowout… and August is not one of those times. We have all year to battle our manes into submission, but when the temps (and humidity!) are this high, it’s time to embrace your natural texture and enjoy the […]

The Best-Ever Melt Proof Makeup

I’m going to be honest with you: the original concept of this story was “pool-proof makeup,” but my daily commute has gotten so humid that I basically feel like I’m swimming to work every day anyway. There’s nothing more depressing than arriving at the office to discover that three-quarters of your masterful face of makeup […]

3 Ways to Wear a Black Ribbon

Here at Team CS, we’re firm believers in the power of good ribbon — it can turn a regular box into a gift, a stack of letters into decor, and an ordinary hairstyle into something special. We definitely love the idea of wearing a black ribbon (so French, oui?) but wanted to get some fresh ideas […]

DIY Emergency Pedicure

Sure, it’s a fun indulgence to get a pedicure—I do believe that every girl deserves to have her tootsies detailed every once in awhile. That said, whether you’re on a budget, short on time, or (like me) lack the patience to sit in a nail salon for an hour, sometimes you need to take matters […]
