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.

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 […]

11 Best Lace-Up Sandals

You know when a trend comes along that makes you wonder how you ever lived without it? That’s how I feel about lace-up sandals. I just love ’em. After acquiring my first pair of classic flat black beauties, it became clear I needed every color and heel height variation out there. So since I’m spending a […]

Upside Down Braided Bun

We’re all about updo’s during the summer here in Austin, but when it comes to weddings and more formal events, the plain ol’ messy top knot doesn’t feel quite right. So we asked stylist Erica Rae to help us come up with a great “guest-of” solution that will get us through those hot outdoor ceremonies without […]

A Guide to Color Correctors

Until recently, color-correcting makeup seemed to be one of those things that was relegated to the category of “makeup artist voodoo,” (also known as something too complicated for us mere mortals to use on a daily basis.) Plus, some color-correcting products of the past had thick, chalky textures that could almost make the uneven situation […]

Braid on the Run

Summertime in Austin is no joke — we’re desperate for ways to keep cool, and all too often find ourselves trying (in vain) to put our hair up at a restaurant without a hair tie.

How to Look Good Without Makeup

I’m always in awe (and a little skeptical) of the models and actresses who claim to “wear no makeup” when they’re off-duty and still manage to look glowing and gorgeous. I don’t even have to worry about paparazzi shots, and you’ll still rarely catch me without at least a touch of concealer and a coat of […]
