miss-pop-nails-china-glaze-meet-me-in-the-mirage-manicure-alice-and-olivia-fashion-week

Fashion week always brings on a variety of nail looks. Backstage we take notes and drool over the manicures that are usually so ornate and impossible to recreate at home. However, our favorite nail artist, Miss Pop created a jaw-dropping negative space manicure using China Glaze nail polish, that is so simple to recreate but looks beyond polished and cool we had to share.

For this look she used: French Manicure Guide Stickers (the key to the look), China Glaze Strong Adhesion Base Coat, China Glaze Meet Me in the Mirage nail polish (rosy/bronze foil metallic color) and China Glaze Fast Forward Top Coat.

clarisonic-mia-fit-vince-camuto-capri-babyfoot

Award season is in full swing and with the Oscars happening this Sunday, I’m partnering with my friends at Babbleboxx to share some of our must haves for when you need a little extra TLC.
clarisonic-mia-fit-pink-review

I’m starting with my absolute favorite and something that should be on everyone’s wish list, the Clarisonic Mia FIT (for the gentleman in the audience check out the male version, the Clarisonic Alpha FIT). By now most of you are familiar with the original Clarisonic Mia cleansing brush which uses their oscillating technology to gently and more effectively remove everyday impurities, makeup, and sunscreen. It’s the #1 device recommended by dermatologists and proven to cleanse skin 6x better than hands alone. Which in return allows for better absorption of skin care products so they work more effectively.
clarisonic-review

It’s been around forever and a staple for beauty bloggers. Late last year Clarisonic launched the men’s version, Alpha FIT in a rounded, more condensed shape that fit in the palm of your hand with no added handle and us ladies were jealous. The result, the Clarisonic Mia FIT which

John Frieda Rethinks At Home Hair Color

John-Frieda-new-launches

As a beauty blogger, hair color is that one category of hair that still baffles me. Especially since I’m neither a brunette or blonde (or red head for that matter) but with black hair I don’t have as many options but I still find it fascinating the lengths and hours spent by people have to maintain their hair color. And if there’s one major hair trend we’re seeing right now is taking salon services at home. Or at least trying to cut down the visits in between those salon visits. John Frieda has always been an innovator in the category and are pushing the boundaries even further with their “Rethink Everything Rethink Color” campaign.

Everything you want to know about teeth whitening

Dr.-Victoria-Veytsman,-eastsid-edental-medicine-DDS-teeth-whitening

Easily the best Valentine’s Day gift I ever gave James was an appointment to get his teeth professionally whitened. As someone who did not take care of his teeth in his teens and has coffee stains deeper than the Mariana Trench, one visit to Dr. Veytsman’s office and she was able to take his smile 3-4 shades whiter in a mere hour. Being self conscious about your teeth is pretty much the worst and in the case of stains is highly correctable. As a top New York City dentist, Dr. Veytsman understands the importance of a white, bright smile. She was a delight to be in the room with and offers the most advanced whitening options to banish stains and yellowing. I had the best time watching James’ teeth-over. Here’s everything you need

For all of you that have been following me for a while, you know how much I love the Vaseline Lip Therapy Tins.
