Primark Launches in the US!

primark-boston-store

One of my favorite shopping discoveries while in Europe was Primark, an on trend clothing store (much like what you’d see from Forever21 and H&M) except dare I say it’s even cheaper!? The retailer recently launched in the US starting with Boston and as of last week is now in King of Prussia (more locations coming soon!). While I was home for the holiday I visiting their Boston location in Downtown Crossing, which was massive! They have an extensive women’s collection (clothes, pajamas, workout apparel, shoes accessories, beauty, plus-size, and beyond), as well as men’s, home, and even a holiday section to get your decorations on. What’s possibly more shocking then the assortment is the price. My entire outfit, jacket, jeans, top, sweater and shoes cost less than $101! primark-coat

Must Do: Museum of Feelings in NYC

museum-of-feeling-kelidascope-room If you’re in or headed to NYC plan a date for the Museum of Feelings. Located in a downtown New York in a tent outside Brookfield Place, it’s the first museum that reacts to emotions and turns them into art. While that may sound emotional, it’s quite the opposite. Get ready to engage your senses through touch, feel, play, listen, imagine, breathe — and don’t forget to dance! The museum consists of 5 interactive rooms, one’s all sparkly and reflective, there’s a kaleidoscope room, one that feels like you’re in cloud.

Color Wheel-Inspired Looks for Holiday


Thank you Target for promoting this post!

green-eyeshadow-look

The holidays are all about experimenting with makeup and Target gave me the fun challenge of creating two beauty looks based on the color wheel. The first look is using analogous colors (colors next to each other on the color wheel), while the second is all about complementary colors (colors that sit across from each other).

For these looks, I was inspired by the e.l.f. endless eyes 100 colors palette. What can’t you do with 100 eye shadow colors and for $15? It’s a steal! Like most of us, I gravitate to the eye palettes that have shades in my comfort zone. But since the start of my blog I’ve always recommended everyone get a blockbuster large palette to experiment with. e.l.f also has amazing makeup brushes at a fraction of what other brands sell them for. For the looks below, I used the e.l.f. brushes already in my makeup bag but, for anyone in need of a set, the e.l.f Essential Brushes and Cleaner Set has 5 makeup brushes and brush cleaner for only $10! It includes every type of brush you need to complete the looks below.

Easy Beauty and Hair Looks to Take You from Day to Night


Thank you, Target, for sponsoring this post!

pixi-holiday-lipstick-set

Something I look forward to every holiday season is gift sets! It’s a great time to score some awesome deals on brands you love and try new products at a fraction of the regular price. The only downfall is the hustle and bustle that goes along with the season.

In a perfect world, I would wake up early enough to give myself an extra hour to do my hair and makeup routine to its fullest, and then again before having an event in the evening. In reality, I have a fraction of that time to get out the door and look presentable.

Today, I’m sharing some easy hair and makeup looks that can get you out the door in five minutes and take you from weekend casual to date night. All of the products I used are from the Pixi by Petra makeup line that just launched at Target. The all-stars are their two new holiday sets: the Endless Silky Eye Pen Quartette and Mattelustre Lipstick Quartette, which include four shades of lipstick and eyeliner pens in their respective sets.

MORNING MAKEUP LOOK:
pixi-before1

Here’s a very pretty, soft weekend-brunch look for when you’re going for that natural I-woke-up-like-this look, but everything is flawless. Contouring and highlighting play a large role in the look to define cheek bones and overall brighten your complexion.

How to Maximize your Beauty Routine While you Sleep

mattress5_lowresIt’s no secret that getting a good night sleep is essential to good health. I for one am cranky and can have my entire day fall apart if I don’t prioritize quality sleep. From my physical energy to the bags under my eyes, every part of my body is affected if I don’t get a good nights rest.

When you are sleeping, your body is in repair mode. Everything from your hormones, immune system, brain function and skin is affected. This is the most important time to prioritize your skin and beauty routine so that the effects are magnified during this stage of rest.

Join Kiehl’s President Chris Salgardo for the Launch of MANMADE at Saks

chris-salgardo-manmade-book

On Thursday, November 19th, join Kiehl’s President, Chris Salgardo for the launch of his new book, MANMADE: The Skincare & Grooming Reference for Every Man at SAKS FIFTH AVENUE, NYC from 6-8pm.

saks manmade chris salgardo book launch inviteI have known Chris a long time and he’s a wealth of knowledge when it comes to mens skincare and grooming. This book lays it all out in an easy, digestible manor. There’s been a really great focus on men over the past year to really take care of themselves and I think the timing of this book is great. No Kiehl’s products are mentioned in the book so don’t expect a sales pitch, just a culmination of answers to questions men want to know. Does eye cream really work? Do you shave up or down? Or how do you get that best shave? All will be answered and more.
