Revlon X Gwen Stefani Choose Love Campaign

This Valentine’s Day, I got the incredible opportunity to spend it with Gwen Stefani and Revlon in celebration of  their new CHOOSE LOVE campaign. (Fitting for a Valentine’s Day event right?). Gwen is Revlon’s newest global brand ambassador and will be starring in their empowering new campaign #ChooseLove.

As if she needs any introduction… Gwen is a three-time Grammy Award winning singer, songwriter, fashion designer and entrepreneur and is well known for her bold and trendsetting looks. She’s been inspiring me since I was a teenager and still to this day. She is my most long standing girl crush of all time — and is it just me or does she just get better looking with age? Goals people! One of her first roles as brand ambassador includes starring in a global multimedia Revlon campaign called CHOOSE LOVE, a campaign geared towards choosing and celebrating love throughout the world.

I have always had skin that was on the oilier side (especially in my T-zone) and am constantly on the hunt for the best products to keep my skin feeling clean and my make up in place.  There is nothing worse than checking yourself out in the mirror halfway through the day to see most of your make up has slid off, especially in the warmer weather.  Here are some of current go tos!

Life updates, Blogger advice and this retro Lafayette 148 outfit

Happy last day of February everyone! This year is flying by and I for one am ready for a vacation. It has been the most exciting few months of filming and magazine collaborations which I can not wait to share with all of you! Between Health Magazine announcing my campaign with Olay (we have another surprise coming soon!), Redbook featuring my charity and I got to announce my partnership with Vanity Fair, February will be hard to beat. However, March brings some awesome projects with Glamour, New Beauty and Amazon which I dying to see! I started my site 9 years ago because I worked for the best beauty and skincare brands and it felt like no one was leveraging experts or sharing product formulations and information in the way it’s so readily available now! And the fact that this industry (not just in beauty but fashion and travel too) continues to surprise me and push my creativity, it is never a dull moment. What I did with Olay was groundbreaking. I’ve never known a blogger or really any identifiable person go through clinicals to have their skin checked during product testing. It’s always just an anonymous clinical statistic and some number of a percentage of women that saw changes.  I’ll have more to unveil on that soon! I think the best part of working non-stop this new year was after months of being excited but so exhausted from early call times and the hours I spent researching, testing and reading before going on camera is now I get to sit back and see all of these projects come to life. Every collaboration has been so different and I’m so inspired how much magazines are embracing bloggers, these past few months I have been inspired and challenged in ways I didn’t even know were possible.
