This Mascara Rivals Lash Extensions

It’s undeniable: lashes are having a serious moment right now. Whereas falsies used to be reserved for rare circumstances and extensions were mostly reserved for pageant queens, now many women count applying false lashes or getting lash extensions touched up as part of their regular beauty routines. Personally, I prefer a more natural lash look, […]

The Best Nighttime Retinols

It’s true that there isn’t a magic spell for perfect skin—however, retinol is such an amazing ingredient that it’s almost a supernatural solution for whatever skin woes are getting you down. A derivative of vitamin A, retinol speeds up skin cell’s renewal process (sometimes referred to as “cell turnover”), meaning that with regular use, you […]

The Brow Fillers Pro Makeup Artists Swear By

Beauty trends seem to come and go on an almost weekly basis, but one trend that doesn’t seem to be going anywhere—thankfully!—is full, defined brows. After the harrowing period in the ’90s when women hacked their brows down to barely-there lines (I was totally guilty of this—were you?), the bushy, natural brow made a serious […]

The Best Products for Hiding Dark Under Eye Circles

I know this is kind of a dramatic statement, but I have this secret belief that one’s under eye concealer can make or break one’s makeup look. Here’s why: the right concealer for you (meaning: the right shade, the right coverage level, etc.) can completely change the way your face looks—in a good way, with […]

Sheet Masks to Save Your Skin

I have to admit: when sheet masks first exploded onto the beauty scene, I was a little skeptical. They seemed kitschy at best—and why is something like a single-serving face mask even necessary? Well, I quickly changed my tune around the time that I had a baby and suddenly anything that would streamline my beauty […]

You’re Never Too Young to Start Using These Age Prevention Products

Recently, Allure magazine took issue with the term “anti-aging”, and I have to say, that’s totally awesome. As the magazine admits, not everything about getting older is wonderful—but the idea that aging is something that we need to fight every chance that we get is sexist and frankly, dated. There is a unique beauty and […]

A 7-Day Skin Detox Challenge For Your Best Complexion Ever

October always seems to be the busiest month, and this year is no exception. In the past 10 days alone, I’ve found myself in Los Angeles, Austin, back to Los Angeles, and New York City, and next week I’m headed to Cabo for a much needed vacation. Juggling so many schedules for my family, my […]

Matte Lips for Fall

It’s easy to get caught up in the “back-to-school fever” this time of year and be convinced that you need bangs, a new wardrobe, and even a new routine—but in my mind, little seasonal tweaks can make a big difference (and cost a lot less money!). Enter: lip color. There are few makeup products that […]

These Oils Will Make Your Skin Glow from Head to Toe

After a long, sticky summer of avoiding anything heavy or greasy for my skin and hair, I always seem to be caught off-guard when the temperatures suddenly drop and my skin is desperately thirsty and my hair is a frizzy mess. Of course, with winter still (thankfully!) being many months away, it’s not exactly time […]

Your Ultimate Dry Brush Kit

Anyone else feel a little bit overwhelmed by the amount of “holistic” beauty tasks we’re supposed to partake in these days? Gone are the days when a haircut and mani-pedi made you feel somewhat pulled together; now you’re expected to start every day with oil pulling and apple cider vinegar shots. Personally, I have a […]

What Supplements Should You Really Be Taking?

It’s hard to know who to trust when it comes to the supplements aisle. We all have friends who swear by one thing or another, but (if you’re like me) you don’t want to throw money at vitamins that won’t actually provide benefits, and it’s easy to get overwhelmed by the seemingly endless options. However, I […]

How to Get Rid of Under Eye Puffiness Once and For All

Puffy or dark circles under the eyes have long been proven to be an unattractive trait in scientific studies — probably because they subconsciously indicate that a person is sick, fatigued, or unhealthy. For many people, puffy eyes can happen after a poor night’s sleep, long flight, or case of the flu. But if you’re […]

6 Best Blushes For Your Freshest Summer Face

In an ideal world, we’d all start the day with a sweat session (and maybe a make-out) that left our faces glowing with the rosiness of freshness and youth. If you’re like me however, most mornings the flush is found with a little well-placed blush swirled on the apples of my cheeks, and my beauty […]

This Product Is the Key to Your Smoothest Summer Skin

My desert island beauty product (as in, I only get to bring one) would have to be body lotion. The mere thought of getting out of the shower and not slathering it from head to toe makes me cringe, but just try putting on one of the watery trial sizes in a hotel bathroom and you’ll […]

Summer Beauty Rescue Kit

In our fantasies, summer is a romantic, glamorous season, filled with long, golden days and not a cloud in sight. Our limbs are tan and glowing, our hair tumbles in mermaid waves, and there’s never, ever a mosquito or the presence of sweat-inducing humidity. The reality? Not so much. Yes, summer is glorious, but it […]

Why You Have Adult Acne (And How to Get Rid of It)

Surprise! Acne can creep back into your life just like Dawson’s Creek does with a summer of reruns… except this is one show you definitely don’t want to relive. “While the exact numbers are unknown, it appears the incidence of adult acne is rising,” says Camille’s personal dermatologist, Elizabeth Geddes-Bruce. At Westlake Dermatology, Dr. Geddes-Bruce is seeing […]
