UPDATED APRIL 2025 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…
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….
An age-old skincare question if I ever heard one.
For all my sensitive skin girlies out there, this Vanicream review is for you.

I normally flock to my favorite…
Let’s take a closer look at the two-ingredient list of Cora tampons.
And, yes—they’re totally worth the splurge.
One of the best decisions I’ve ever made in my life was going full-time freelance. As a freelancer, I don’t have one boss—rather, I have several clients. I get to set my own hours, choose whether or not I want to take on an assignment, and work from anywhere I want. I’m a freelance copywriter…
I discovered the iS Clinical Pro Heal Serum after a celebrity esthetician had used it on my skin during a facial. I can bet that you’ve probably seen this brand before. iS Clinical is widely used at spas and dermatology offices nationwide and is one of the leading, professional-grade skincare lines. iS Clinical is all…
My bachelorette party in Puerto Rico was an absolute dream. I encourage anyone who is able to travel there to consider a Puerto Rico bachelorette! Puerto Rico is a Caribbean island that’s located close to the Dominican Republic and Cuba. It’s about a 2.5-3 hour flight from New York City. Puerto Rico is a U.S….
As a beauty and lifestyle writer, I’ve tested dozens of lipsticks—some luxury tubes with expensive pricetags as well as a handful of drugstore picks. The latter, which was previously thought of as subpar, has come a long way. In fact, I’ve found that drugstore lipstick can be just as good as, if not better, than…
UPDATED ON 03/03/2025 I had never heard of Byoma skincare before the brand invited me to try out a mini facial using their products. A UK-based skincare brand that has absolutely blown up on TikTok, Byoma is a super affordable skincare line that features skin-loving ingredients in fun, bright packaging. Byoma is best known for…
