There are many foundation/concealer combos that are wonderful, but the one I have been reaching for a lot is the Kevyn Aucoin Sensual Skin Enhancer and Laura Mercier Flawless Fusion Concealer. 

While things in the makeup world have slowed down considerably for me, I find myself very excited about all the new, and some not so new candles I’ve been coming across. I’ve always really loved candles, but I find as the years go on, they have become an essential part of my wellness. Have a look at some of the candles currently on my mind.

In the middle of this cool, brisk, October in the DC metro, I can’t help but wonder where the year went and what I did with it. To say the year has been stressful is an understatement, and I'd be preaching to the choir. It's definitely affected my beauty and lifestyle habits, although I'm not really sure if that's a bad thing.

Just when you think you've seen and felt it all on your face, something great comes along and says, "Hey, now, look at me!" I received the Then I Met You Living Cleansing Balm several months ago (maybe even a year!) and have been totally smitten with it. It's unlike any cleansing balm I have ever used and I really enjoy using it.

Some days, it feels like all you have is what's in the mirror. This was one of those days. 

It had been some time since I pulled myself together and I wanted to do something very Miami, but I also had to wash my hair. So I did. This look is dedicated to that slick, wet, and sexy beachy look. These days I am really longing to be perched in front of an ocean for an extended period. This will have to do.
