I love lashes. I have been in about every eyelash situation you can imagine; drugstore brands like Andrea “Curl 91” style and Ardell’s “Wispy” model were the gateway products that ignited my lash habit. These days, my habit now involves feeding my lashes daily with Lash Food serum to promote growth and, when time permits,…

The Real MVPs: My #Faves From Fenty Beauty (Hint: It’s Not the Foundation)
I have a confession to make. I’m not a fan of Fenty foundation. *Ducks.* Don’t get me wrong: I’m enthralled by the range of shades, the marketing, beautiful packaging and even the specially trained Fenty specialists who color-matched me in Sephora.

The Doctor Is In: Reframing the Christmas Blues
Full disclosure: I love Christmas. Like, in a frenetic, maniacal way. I love all the glittering, sparkly, tinsel-covered days leading up to Dec. 25. But glancing at my timeline across social media, I’ve begun to notice a trend: Not everyone shares my sentiments about the season of joy and cheer. And while I understand that…

Oh, Honey: The (Budget-Friendly) Beauty in the Secret Life of Bees
Yeah, we know, we know … we covered honey-based beauty just Sunday—Veronica Webb’s experience with a $725 luxury bee-venom facial, to be exact.
