Radiant with Aveeno | Beauty


Now that it’s finally going to be spring in New York, I’m ready to transition to a different moisturizer that’s better suited for warmer weather. I recently received a full size sample of Aveeno Positively Radiant Intensive Night Cream from influenster, which I’ve been testing for the past few weeks.

Straightening my Teeth with Invisalign | Sponsored

I’m happy to be working with Invisalign today to share my knowledge of the difference between traditional braces and new, removable aligners like Invisalign.

It’s common knowledge that I never smile in photos, but I’m willing to bet you don’t know the reason why: I hate having crooked teeth. [Read more...]

Neutral And Blue Nails



I was sporting some seriously blue nails in my last outfit post. Which I liked. But thought were too… specific, i.e. give me navy nails any day, but bright blue? Maybe not. Neutral with a strong blue accent might be more my style. What do you think?

BA STAR Smoky Eye Shadow Palette | Sponsored

Disclosure: a sample of the BA STAR Smoky Eye Shadow Palette in Natural was provided to me c/o BA STAR in exchange for a product review.

BA STAR is a performance makeup brand popular with cheerleaders, dancers, and competitors in a variety of fields. They recently released a new eye shadow palette that’s both versatile and affordable at just $8.75. I received the Smoky Eye Shadow Palette in Natural (yes! I love these colors!), which contains three mineral eye shadows and two glitter gels for highlighting. I can’t say that I have a lot of use for the glitter gels these days, but I wish they would have been around when I was younger and still in gymnastics and figure skating. They’re much better than the awful glitters from the 90s that would travel all over my face. [Read more...]

Fall 2013 Nail Trends Preview | Beauty



Lately I’ve been paying more attention to the small details of a show– perfectly placed braids, major eyelashes, nude lips, a slash of eye shadow…

Zoya did glittery nails to match the gold looks at Rafael Cennamo, where full-size samples were also given out to presentation-goers. Here I used Angelina (the dark brown) all over and Goldie for barely there gold tips. The custom gold flake Maria Luisa top coat was not included in the set, or else I would have tried an ombré glitter overlay. [Read more...]
