My Favorites!!!! Go get them ASAP! You can buy them at Ulta Cosmetics  or even at Target  for like $4.99 and $5.99. WHAT a steal! Nordstrom Rack also carries some colors. SURE BEATS a 19 dollar gloss that you end up losing a week later that isn’t that great anyway, am I RIGHT?!The really peachy color in the video is Apple Strudel. YUM.The more pinky color is Peaches and Cream….which makes so sense but I didn’t name them. Just go with it!They smell so damn good you will want to eat them.

Vintage Tiger Pin! RAWWRR!!!!

Posted on

This may be my most favorite #fleamarketfind EVER! Seriously. I am so in love with my little tiger pin I sleep with him. No, not really.  But I should. Vintage Lovers get ready to gush. My beau actually spotted this striped, little, jungle gem at a vintage showcase that I dragged him to. He has quite a good eye, for a dude. Tis’ a SHOULDER BROACH!  You pin the Tiger over your shoulder so that it can be seen from the front AND the back. The tail hangs over your shoulder like its a little gecko just basking in the

Converse are A OKAY! Sleek High-tops are Awesome…BUT if the shoes are meant to be worn on a track, in a gym, for kickboxing or on a treadmill LEAVE THEM IN THE LOCKER ROOM! I see SO many men doing this! SO MANY making this simple, terrible, awful, heinous mistake. (Who am I to talk..my eyebrows look terrible in this video.) HELP ME HELP YOU!!

My STYLING Kit & the 1 GLAM-SQUAD Weapon You Should Own!!!!

Posted on

Every Hollywood Stylist, Makeup Artist and Hair Dresser carries a kit with them to work. I have a larger kit and the one below is my ‘on set’ kit. My larger kit carries a more extensive line-up of wardrobe and styling necessities for shoots. (like extra panties and socks, random bits) The fanny pack below has a limited amount of essentials, essentially. I often have to run back and forth between the set and backstage….or from the desert to the trailer etc. This kit needs to be small, durable and easy to carry. It ALSO helps that it is a

PSSSST!!!! Got Dirty Hair?

Posted on

Psssstttt……I have a secret for ya…. Instant Dry Shampoo. Washing and blow drying your hair every day is NOT good for it. Go a few days….skip some of that harsh destruction. Your hairs will thank you.Or maybe you are in a rush? can’t take the time to dry your entire head of hair….USE this stuff ladies. (AND GENTS!) I freaking LOVE this stuff. A makeup artist at NBC turned me on to this little gem years ago.I prefer the old packaging to be honest…. this is what it used to look like. So retro. Love. Clearly it has been around

Vintage Belts

Posted on

Most people forget about the ever omnipotent belt. It can be a very powerful tool in your closet. Cinching in your waist. Giving a pop of color or texture to an otherwise dull affair. They have become conversation starters for me many times over. I am a FIRM belieber in the power of the BELT> Especially a vintage, one of-a-kind, interesting, sexy one. Think colorful, think leather, think fringe, think grommets, think animals!!!! A super cool belt can up the ante on a simple black/white/red dress. Take that dress and put it with a few different belts and you have
