The 8 Best Long Lasting Lipsticks To Get You Through NYE

I don’t know about you, but when it comes to festive winter dressing… I’m often at a loss. And, no winter festivity is harder to dress for than New Year’s Eve, am I right? Unlike a casual holiday cocktail party, NYE is a night where you’re expected to go all-out with your wardrobe—even if the […]

The Half-Up Pompadour

We couldn’t help but notice that model Jenna Filardi, winner of our latest Camille Styles instagram model search, bears a striking resemblance to actress Natalie Portman. We asked Erica Rae to create a red-carpet style to match Jenna’s Hollywood looks, and she surprised us with this fabulous updo. “My pompadour obsession started when I first saw celebrities rock this look […]

The Best Scented Candles According to our Experts

Okay, so maybe a scented candle isn’t the most original gift, but c’mon: have you ever met a person who didn’t love receiving one? Especially when said candle has the coolest packaging, is made of clean-burning soy wax, and lasts for 60 (or more) hours. We polled our beauty council members to find out which scented […]

Beauty Prep for Your Prettiest Holiday Ever

If you’re anything like me, holiday madness is already in full swing, and let’s just say that “updating my beauty routine” is pretty far down the ‘ole to-do list. But one glance at my calendar reminds me that I’ve got a few highly anticipated occasions on the horizon (our annual holiday dinner party, nights out […]

How to Wear Glitter Like a Grown Up

I’ll be honest: when I heard that my assigning editors wanted me to write a story on glitter makeup, I was a little skeptical. Maybe I’m still scarred by the memories of the scented glitter body gel that me and my friends used to apply before middle-school dances (does anyone else remember that gross, goopy […]

The Bubble Braid

photographed by jessica attie We asked our favorite hair stylist Erica Rae to create a new variation on the classic french braid and she surprised us with this fun “bubble braid” look. Austin fashion blogger Cyndi Huang of The Cyn City was the perfect model to rock this look with her full ombred hair. “Technically this style isn’t a […]

Secrets to Shiny Hair

Typically, we associate shiny hair with health—but, the products that we use can make a major difference in the luster that we see in our locks. The key is to find the correct balance between keeping hair healthy and keeping it clean. Sounds pretty simple, but since many hair products are either overly drying or […]

7 Amazing Additions to Your Bathtime Ritual

Ah, bath time. Every time I have the luxury of doing the whole soak-and-scrub thing in a tub of bubbles, I have the same reaction: WHY don’t I do this more often?! The concept of self-care is one that’s thrown around a lot these days, and if you’re anything like me, it can be easy […]

The Only Beauty Product You’ll Need for That “No-Makeup” Glow

I’ve had a secret weapon in my makeup drawer for awhile now, and it’s a bit of an unsung hero; its versatility never ceases to amaze me. Did anyone guess a “multiple stick?” No? Then get ready to take notes. The color might change with the seasons (I love coral in summer and more pink-toned in winter), but I […]

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. […]

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 […]

How to Create Faux Freckles with a Brow Pencil

Freckles seem to be one of those grass-is-always-greener traits: those who have them hate them and those who don’t have them wish that they did! As for our office, everyone is in complete agreement that freckles are a gorgeous feature. I’d heard rumor of an actual “freckle pencil” on the market, so I hit the mall […]

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.
