There are two primary concerns that I routinely see from consumers in the online beauty community and from readers with respect to glitter: 1) whether cosmetic-grade glitter is eye safe, and 2) concerns about plastic glitter and its impact on the environment. Those concerns continue to be...
As new beauty products release at an ever increasing pace, sometimes it can get easy to forget what we have or favor new purchases over long-time favorites and other past purchases. Whether you have a streamlined set of products or everything but the kitchen sink, I think there's a tip that just...
Though my original plan was to update my hair and sort of transition back to more natural tones (like a mix of various coppers and caramels, maybe with one vivid color as an accent), my go-to colorist, Lauren, just got married and is heading off on her honeymoon and I didn't think to book ahead...

Over the weekend, I noticed a new brand pop up on Ulta called Full Spectrum, which is actually "Full Spectrum CoverGirl" when one looks at the packaging. It's categorized under brands as "Full Spectrum," though, and it doesn't show up as part of the "CoverGirl" brand category. I was confused by...
Whether you have a manageable or overwhelming collection of beauty products, shopping your stash is a great method to rediscover old favorites, wear products in new ways, and get those creative juices flowing. In what is likely going to end up being a series on how to "shop your stash," I wanted...
As we're heading into the end of 2018, the state of the online beauty community has really been on my mind, and a lot of it relates to the current product release cycle and the different parts that feed into the ever-growing beast that new products and launches has become.
