Overnight Spot Treatments

I read about Peach Spot Dot acne patches for the first time last year in this article on Byrdie and they’ve saved my life countless times since. As a disclaimer, I don’t have much trouble with acne, but I do have the kind of luck that seems to bring about a spot right before a big meeting or important conference. These patches are totally mind-blowing and truly zap blemishes overnight. Run don’t walk.

Longwear Liquid Lip Color: Perfect Everyday Colors

You’ve heard me wax on about this NARS Powermatte Lip Pigment many times in the past, especially when looking to achieve the perfect bold red or burgundy lip that lasts all night. However, I just tried two of their lighter shades as well which has made me love the product even more. Currently, shade “Get It On” is my favorite for an understated, natural color that doesn’t budge all day long. I love it so much I also just ordered “American Woman” and will report back on whether it’s a keeper as well!

Skincare Tips

I was overwhelmed by the positive responses to last week’s post on how to properly wash your face. I’m so thrilled that these skincare posts are helpful and rest-assured, there’s a whole lot more coming your way! As I explained in my first post debunking the top seven skincare myths, I feel like consumers are completely inundated by complete nonsense by skincare marketers. After months of research and interviews with dermatologists, I’m so excited to share my learnings, which believe me, have been as surprising to me as they’ve been to many of you! It’s not a great feeling knowing…

Cryotherapy

I documented this over the weekend on instastories, but on Saturday, I tried Cryotherapy for the first time and absolutely LOVED IT. Throughout many years of competitive sports, my body has always responded well to any and all kinds of ice therapy—cold compresses, ice baths, all of the cold things. My friend Lauryn has been raving about Cryotherapy for months (you can read her full post here thoroughly explaining the benefits), so I finally decided to give it a try at Quick Cryo in Tribeca. I went in super sore from a tough workout the day before, and left completely…

Cult Favorite Dry Shampoo

If you’ve read the post on how I do my hair, you know that dry shampoo is an integral part of the process. Since I’m always eager to test new products, I recently asked everyone on instagram to share their favorite dry shampoos and the result was an amazing treasure trove of recommended products. I’m working on a post to round up all of the top recommendations, but one that came up time and time again was completely new to me—the Batiste Dry Shampoo. Naturally, I ordered it on Amazon right away and absolutely love it so far. It’s under…

My Favorite Travel Makeup Cases

Similar to my hunt for the best travel jewelry cases, I’ve also been searching for the best travel makeup cases over the past several months and have found it surprisingly difficult. Maybe I’m turning into an old lady, but at this point, I care a lot less about whether the case is cute and a lot more about whether it successfully keeps everything organized and in one. dang. place. I came across this makeup case a couple months ago and it has been a true game changer for long trips. I was skeptical at first because it’s definitely on the…

Sephora Sale

Yesterday I rounded up my top ten beauty must-haves that are all included in the crazy spring Sephora sale. If you haven’t stocked up on your favorites yet, hop-to because the SALE ENDS TONIGHT! Aside from snagging all of your ride-or-die products, it’s also a great time to test out products you’ve been wanting to try while you can get them at a reduced price. As you know, I loooove Make Up For Ever foundation, so I’ve been wanting to try this sheer version of the product for summer. For all of the details and promo codes, check out yesterday’s post…

The Best Travel Bottles For Shampoo And Lotion

Rich and I are headed to Paris on Thursday for work and I just ordered these squeezable travel bottles for shampoo, conditioner, lotion, face cleanser, you name it. I love that they’re silicone so they’re easy to squeeze (no awkward ketchup bottle smacking situation like other travel-sized products) and they also have a convenient suction cup on the side which allows you to conveniently attach them to a mirror or shower wall.

Glossier Invisible Shield Daily Sunscreen

We all know the importance of sunscreen (especially in the summer sun!) but it’s not easy to find one that (a) feels good on your face and (b) plays nice under your makeup. If, like me, you rarely find a facial sunscreen that you like, try Glossier’s Invisible Shield Daily Sunscreen. It’s an invisible gel that leaves no white cast and no greasy residue while providing SPF 35 broad spectrum UVA and UVB coverage, which are all equally important for proper sun protection (read more about that HERE).

The Best Hairdryers On The Planet

If you’re looking for a traditional hair dryer, I’ve used T3’s hair dryer for years (they also make my favorite curling wand as well) and highly recommend all of their products. However, in the past few months I’ve switched over to the Dyson Supersonic Hair Dyer and my gahd. I’m a total convert. My hair dries quicker and feels healthier than ever before. I have thick hair so it used to take a good 15-20 minutes to dry thoroughly. Now with the Dyson, it takes five minutes max. Between the time it saves and the noticeable difference I’ve seen in…
