How to Get Fuller Lips (Without Filler!)

Those of us who weren’t blessed with Gigi Hadid-esque lips will go to great lengths to get them (I should know — I’ve tried it all, including filler.)

The Hot Hair Tools Our Beauty Experts Can’t Live Without

My hot hair tool use has gone through many phases: the sleek straight flat irons of college, va va voom hot rollers of my twenties, the more recent medium barreled curling iron beach waves, and countless other looks in between.

We’re Obsessed With Cristina Lynch’s Mexican Inspired Style

We first met Cristina Lynch when she hosted a Mi Golondrina trunk show in Austin, and we instantly fell in love with the designer’s handcrafted Mexican dresses. She has incredible personal style, which (like her designs) reflects her Mexican heritage through a modern lens. Talking with Cristina, you get a sense that her perspective is rooted in […]

Are You Brushing Your Hair All Wrong?

I never thought a beauty tool could truly be “life-changing” until I met my magic brush. If you have thick tangle-prone hair like I do, you can probably relate to this: I used to spend ten frustrating, painful minutes a day combing through my hair after every shower. By the end of it my arms […]

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.

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 […]
