What Beauty Tool Can't You Live Without?
My look is never complete without my eyelash curler. It's just something about the extra pop it adds that I can't forgo. I curl them even when I go without makeup and even then my face brightens. If I had to choose any beauty product I couldn't live without, it would definitely be my lash curler. What beauty tool can't you live without? Written by: Michaela Pommells ... READ MORE >>
Nordstrom MAC Exclusives
It might be the crazy sale season that’s upon us, but it seems everyone is teaming with everyone to bring us something newer and better. The MAC Exclusives for the annual Nordstrom Anniversary sale is no different, and if I were you, I’d make my way to my local store or simply hop online to guarantee that I get in on the action.

Editors Beauty Bag Part 1
I’ve been obsessed with makeup since I was about 11 years old.

How Long Does it Take You to Get Ready in the Morning?
I’m not a morning person, so getting ready in the mornings can be tough for me. I manage to get ready in 30 to 45 minutes and this is usually when I'm keeping it simple. My hair is curly so all I have to do is put some product in my hair or freshen up my style from the day before and I’m all set. There isn’t much time for a makeup application in the morning so I’m out the door. I spend a lot of time on my hair and makeup if I’m going out to ... READ MORE >>
