When I had my first meeting with my dermatologist here in New York, one of the first things she asked me was if I was on a retinol. I was not, but had been back in high school. She suggested I got back one one and I brushed off the idea. I was brought back … Continue reading REVIEW: TRETINOIN
WISHLIST: SEPHORA
With Sephora's Beauty Insider Sale underway, it seems very appropriate to share some products that I'm dyyying to try from there. I have a very serious (self-diagnosed) Sephora problem and it is my go-to for all things skincare, hair care, and makeup. So without further ado, here's what I'm excited to save 20% on! DIOR. … Continue reading WISHLIST: SEPHORA
FAVORITES: PRIMER
After talking to friends that aren’t as makeup-obsessed as myself, I’ve realized that primer is the most underrated product. While a lot of people don’t think it’s absolutely necessary, they don’t realize that this is the true foundation to your skin makeup. Without primer, foundation or tinted moisturizer will not stay as well and it’s … Continue reading FAVORITES: PRIMER
WISHLIST: ROSE-TONED
This is admittedly extremely millennial of me, but recently I have been on a rose-gold-toned kick and I can’t shake it. Every makeup look and product I’m posting on my Pinterest boards is unintentionally this beautiful hue, so I thought it may be time to put together a wish list of what I have my … Continue reading WISHLIST: ROSE-TONED
FAVORITES: Face Masks
The first thing I did when I became skincare-obsessed was buy every face mask that I could get my hands on. This is when I realized that this new interest in beauty was going to cost a pretty penny. But it’s so worth it! I think the face masks help bring a basic skincare routine … Continue reading FAVORITES: Face Masks
ROO-TINE: Day to Night
Let’s set the scene: it’s a Thursday afternoon and you’re at work. You’re tired but very happy that it’s Friday tomorrow. Then, your friend texts you. There’s a special happy hour at your favorite bar and you must go. You throw back a coffee and decide that it’s worth it to run home quickly and … Continue reading ROO-TINE: Day to Night
ROO-TINE: Morning Skin
Having shared my daily makeup routine, I think it’s only fair that I also share how I prep my skin beforehand. The goal of my morning skin routine is to make sure everything is smooth, even, and ready for makeup. One thing that may make people (especially dermatologists or estheticians) not so happy about my … Continue reading ROO-TINE: Morning Skin
WISHLIST: Violet Grey
While I certainly don’t NEED any more skincare and makeup (my bathroom is practically overflowing), I definitely want a ton. One website I find myself perusing on an almost daily basis is Violet Grey. Everything sold at Violet Grey gets approved by the “Violet Code,” which is the following: Each product has met the standards … Continue reading WISHLIST: Violet Grey
FAVORITES: Dry Shampoo
My 2019 New Year’s resolution was to stop washing my hair every day. This was mostly the result of my hairdresser scolding me for washing my hair every day. “My hair gets oily if I don’t wash it every day” I said. “Your hair will train itself to not get so oily if you stop … Continue reading FAVORITES: Dry Shampoo
FAVORITES: Makeup Remover
While I have a devoted love for makeup, I think my love for taking it off may be even stronger. Someone tell me what’s better than walking into your apartment after a 10-hour work day, throwing your hair up in a bun, and taking off your makeup. YOU CAN'T. That being said, just because something … Continue reading FAVORITES: Makeup Remover
