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 […]

Mini Skirt + Sneakers

*ed note: This week’s edition of Pulling It Off was inspired by a personal wardrobe challenge. Like the rest of the planet, I’ve started wearing sneakers with just about every type of outfit, except for one that has continue to stump me: skirts! Every time I donned a skirt + sneakers combo, the look ended […]

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 […]

8 Daytime Moisturizers to Achieve #NoMakeupSelfie Goals

Gone are the days when the only thing we expect out of our daytime moisturizer is, well, moisture. I need mine to work triple (or quadruple) duty, since I don’t have the time for a 10-step skincare routine when I’m trying to dash out the door in the morning. Sunscreen? Check. Gentle exfoliation? Check. Major […]

10 Best Straw Hats to Wear This Spring

Adding to my ever-growing collection of straw hats is one of my favorite things to do in early spring, when all the fashion lines start revealing their new designs for summer.  (Someday I want to have an entry hall covered in hats, but for now I’m storing them in the back of my closet.) This year’s […]

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 […]
