During a night out, as a group of friends and I shuttled from restaurant to a bar, one woman asked what one makeup item we would choose if allowed just one (I Present to You, Chapter One of Deep Thoughts with Sonni and Her Friends)…

I’m the kind of person who gets a lot of use out of my basics. Favorite pair of jeans? On heavy rotation. MVP foundation? I have three tubes at a time, stationed in various places.

I have officially stopped complaining on a daily basis about being tired. It’s not that I am any less immune to the effects of the state of perma-exhaustion that motherhood has foisted up on me (damn it, they’re so cute that they’re worth it, though); it’s just that I have come to accept this level […]

I was sitting down to do a makeup tutorial video the other day in front of my (relatively) new Riki Skinny makeup mirror, and it occurred to me that this is one purchase that I feel like I’m getting great mileage out of.

You all know I love a good skin care product, and I’m only half ashamed of myself to say that I will buy about ten products before settling on one that I deem good…

What good is a Holiday Gift Guide without some picks for the beauty-obsessed friend in your life?!

Fall brings to mind a specific color palette; in my mind, I see rich browns, rusts and gold colors–all the shades you’d see on a drive through the countryside.

Micellar water pretty much changed the way I do my makeup. It allows me to fix my mistakes so easily, so I’m not scared to try new looks. (Who wants to go back to the starting line when you’re crafting a smoky eye? Not this chick.)

It clearly wasn’t enough for me to cut my wardrobe effectively in half, purge tons of my kids’ toys and basically tried to Kondo-fy my entire existence… Now, I’m targeting my real problem zone.

As you know, I gladly sacrifice my dermal integrity and the stability of my budget on a regular basis to test out beauty products, because hey, everyone needs to feel like they are contributing in some meaningful way to this world, and if that means randomly breaking out in hives to do so, I’m your girl.
