When I think of non-alcoholic summer drinks, the first thing that comes to mind are non-alcoholic Mexican drinks. In particular, I envision an ice-cold, non-alcoholic margarita. Truth be told, even before I stopped drinking alcohol, I wasn’t a big cocktail gal. I really love beer and wine (be sure to check out some of my…
Julep Beauty has been on my radar for many years, but I admittedly haven’t used a ton of their products. That’s why I’m pumped to be one of the few Julep eyeshadow stick reviews out there. I’m hoping that this review will spread the good word about this awesome brand! After testing out this cream…
There’s nothing that I wish I could emulate more than a cool Cali girl. While I’ll always be a Northeasterner at heart (with a bit of Texas Southerner sprinkled in), I feel like the Caliray primer allows me to embody that cool-girl, laid-back vibe. Before I dive into my Caliray primer review, we should go…
It’s good to have natural options.
There is nothing that makes me happier than going to the beach. I grew up vacationing in Rhode Island with my family for a few weeks every summer, and I still try to get back there every year, even if it’s just for a few days. In fact, I’m headed there in two days to…
There are a couple of Osea reviews out there, but have you read one from an actual beauty editor? Unsurprisingly, considering my job, one of my favorite parts of my day is getting to do my skincare routine. And one of my favorite things to do in general is try out cruelty-free, clean skin care….
I’m thrilled to write this Tula skincare review because it’s pretty relevant to my life right now—I just went to a Tula beauty event a few weeks ago! I was invited to get my skin, hair, and makeup done with Tula products and have a little photoshoot—Tula is coming out with a few new makeup…
Naturium is absolutely poppin’ off over on TikTok! Hence why I’m excited to write this Naturium sunscreen review. Naturium is all about creating skincare products that are high-quality without a super high price tag. When I was pitched this brand about a year ago for editorial consideration through my job as a beauty journalist, I…
Before I get into my Laura Geller makeup review, here’s a fun flashback. I actually met Laura herself many years ago when I worked as an Assistant Beauty Editor at Family Circle magazine. We were filming a Facebook Live (remember those!?) with her while she demonstrated applying her eponymous makeup line on my face. Fast…
I’m super pumped to write this Nudestix review because I love the founder. I met Taylor Frankel, co-founder of Nudestix, around 2016. We were having a deskside meeting at my old job as an Assistant Beauty Editor at Family Circle magazine. She was around 17 or 18 at the time, and I just remember Taylor…
I’m excited to write this Iris and Romeo review because it’s an up-and-coming brand that deserves more attention. This brand first caught my eye when they sent me an email pitch to my work inbox about their “all-in-one” foundation, moisturizer, and sunscreen skin tint. I am a big fan of products that do double duty….
For all my sensitive skin girlies out there, this Vanicream review is for you. I discovered Vanicream maybe five or six years ago when my perioral dermatitis was flaring up around my mouth, and my itchy skin needed a really bland moisturizer to relieve the itching, irritation, and redness. I normally flock to my favorite…
