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?

Our Fave New Workout Hairstyle

DIRECTIONS: First start with hair in a high pony. You can choose a slick look or leave a bit of texture for more of an undone look. Braid your pony tail in a simple three strand braid. (You can do any braid — a fishtail braid would look even more interesting!) Be sure to secure […]

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 […]

It’s officially summer, which means that along with ditching my wine lipsticks and heavy foundation, I’ve officially waved goodbye to my blowdryer for the foreseeable future. Unfortunately, however, my hair doesn’t necessarily behave when I let it air-dry; without a little product, my locks somehow end up looking both flat and frizzy. How is that […]
