{recent} beauty favorites

By on April 4, 2012 in Beauty, Hair, Skin care

 

Sharing some of my beauty favorites this week! These are 3 real winners.

// 1. Tocca Giulietta body wash, $18: My love affair with this scent started with their lotion and now I can’t get enough of the body wash. It’s subtle and feminine and just perfect.

// 2. Tresemme Split Remedy Leave-In treatment, $4: Two words: miracle worker.

// 3. Clinique Exfoliating Scrub, $18.50: I had been on the hunt for a good scrub for ages. It had to be just the right texture, but effective. This one fit the bill to a T.

{recent} travel essentials

By on March 2, 2012 in Beauty, Fashion, Lifestyle, Travel

 

  1. Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair, $80 // This has transformed my skin since using each night before going to bed and it’s a new ritual. Plus teh bottle is under 3oz. for carry ons.
  2. Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cream, $26 // This was a recent purchase and I love it for being lightweight, yet super hydrating. Also small enough for travel.
  3. Jouer spf 15 Lip Sheer in Positano, $22 // This was sent to me recently and I fell in love because the color is sheer, yet adds enough color to wake up your face just a wee bit for early runs to the airport.
  4. J.Crew Lula Patent Leather Ballet Flats, $128// These have been my footwear of choice on planes (and in life, really) and they are so comfortable.
  5. Luna Bar in Iced Oatmeal Raisin, $2 // If I don’t pack these, I eat horribly when at the airport. This is my flavor of choice.
  6. Benefit Cosmetics’ They’re Real Mascara, $22 // I do very little makeup these days and when I do it consists of a bit of lip color and this mascara. Instant transformation of your face with just your lashes. *dreams*

Over the years as I’ve traveled more for work and lots of long weekends with friends, etc., I’ve gotten real good at packing lightly and efficiently. My most recent trips to Clevelandand Los Angeles found me with light luggage and I’ve finally narrowed down to some of my most recent favorite essentials for when I pack up and hit the road and wanted to share those here.  Do you have any favorites I need to look into!?

birchbox x zoya x wit & whimsy

By on February 9, 2012 in Beauty, Makeup

 

I was honored when Birchbox (love them) asked me to team up with them and Zoya for the opportunity to potentially design a new nail polish color for the spring! I’ve been loving classic and chic red nails of late so went with the concept of Power Red and designed a moodboard alongside some pretty amazing other blogging gals (including friends Stripes + Sequins and Capitol Hill Style). The board with the most votes from Birchbox fans will team up with Zoya to put the polish into production. So cool, right?!

Check out all the boards and cast a vote HERE!
