She was sharing the lovely brights in the upcoming Fiji launch as well as the whole permanent Infinite Shine collection which is a newer, long-wear formula. I found it fascinating how she said yellow is such a trendy color paired with nude, especially with nail art trends.


I'm SO happy to report how amazing the Infinite Shine formula is! Not only are the colors true and super shiny, but my polish lasted for nearly 2 weeks without chipping and clearly wore better than regular non-gel polishes. I know lots of companies have been coming out with their own "gel-like" polish lines so I'm happy to see that it's pushed the chemistry of nail polish to a better standard across the board.

Have you guys tried any of the newer polish formulas? What did you think? Let me know in the comments!

Here are a few products they sent us home with. I have to say, I'm beyond excited to play around with the Full Spectrum eyeshadow palette! Also those Moondust eyeshadow singles are sooo pigmented and freak-out worthy that it makes my little beauty loving heart thump with joy. Let me know if you guys want to see a full review on anything. It'll feel fantastic to dip my toes back into some colorful waters again after maybe too long of a stay in neutral-ville. :)

Thank you so much Wende and Urban Decay! I said this there but I'll repeat it again. I feel so honored to take part in this beautiful preview retreat and even bring baby Aria. For my first big event since her birth, this one really inspired me not just in the beauty sense but, seriously, Wende is such mom goals. I'm going to take this as my motivation on behalf of all mothers and say we are all warriors and we can do anything!

Hey everyone! You guys probably already know how much I love to travel, especially to Asia where there is a plethora of culture, amazingly sweet people, and delicious food (my personal favorite part). Well, I have a truly exciting announcement to make. I'll be visiting Malaysia next month to host an F.Y.I event where we can talk about all things BEAUTY! You can come learn what makeup trends are the best to try out, a few tips and tricks to perfect your makeup routine, and meet me as well. :)




The event will be held on Saturday January 18th, 2014 at 7:30 PM in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. This will be my first time to Malaysia and also my first time to the entire Southeast Asian area so I am beyond excited to share this experience with you!

Hey everyone! Today I wanted to share a few pics from a Clinique event I recently attended. For the very first time, New York-based Clinique held a party on the West Coast in glitzy Hollywood to share their current lineup of products, from color cosmetics to skincare to their men's care offerings (which my husband happens to big a big fan of). I was super excited to see what must-haves and new cravings I would find for Fall here!

Hey everyone! I am so excited to share my first venture out again after being sick, which was such an amazing blessing: getting to visit the Too Faced headquarters! I've got to say, as a beauty blogger and flat-out makeup lover, there are few things that inspire me more than to get to see first-hand the passion and creativity of those behind the products that make it to counters. This visit to the fun, sparkly, PINK offices at Too Faced definitely didn't disappoint. With my bff photographer extraordinaire Kassia (all these photos are big-time credit to her, she's basically made of angels and unicorns) in tow, we set out to enjoy all the pretty at the event!

The intimate event was to reveal Too Faced's Fall 2013 release which I cannot wait to share with you. Definitely the big highlight was this Pretty Rebel neutral-with-sexy-punches eyeshadow palette. Sooo creamy and pigmented, and just enough edginess to inspire something different each time.


Check out more photos of the event below!

These ladies definitely had the cutest retro-bombshell look going for them and their makeup was totally on-point, even from underneath the water. I can't even begin to tell you how graceful and exciting their performance was! Definitely an experience I will never forget. Thanks to my amazing photographer friend Kassia Phoy who took these jaw-dropping photos, I can let you all have a glimpse at the magic too! :)
