While we tend to associate anything with “fat” written on it as a high-calorie food, there are certain other foods that contribute in a much more significant way in adding a lot of calories, most of them empty, i.e., devoid of any nutritional value, and that’s why they contribute to fat storage more than others. Particularly, […]

Haus Labs Raw Amber Bio-Radiant Highlighter ($40.00 for 0.42 oz.) is a medium-dark, rosy copper with moderate, warm undertones and lighter, copper sparkle and shimmer throughout. It seemed slightly drier compared to other shades in the range, though I wouldn’t actually describe it as legitimately dry as it applied similarly and did not look dry on my skin.

When most of us think of supermodel sisters Gigi and Bella Hadid, we think of their long, luscious locks and fantastic bone structure. But, when the duo hit the runway to debut Marc Jacobs’ fall 2022 collection they surprised us all with what might be their most striking look to date.  Almost unrecognizable at first glance, Bella and Gigi sported […]

On June 27, the Marc Jacobs Fall/Winter 2022 fashion show was live-streamed above the flood of people walking through the heart of Times Square in New York City.

I have issues with skin, food and airborne allergens, and thanks to testing, I’ve been able to pinpoint what my allergies are, so I can try to avoid my triggers. Even when you know your […]

I’m not a fan of Red Hot candies (too spicy), but I do love me some matte red lipstick! Yesterday’s Monday Poll question about matte red lipstick inspired this makeup look with glowing skin, softly defined brows, lush lashes, pearly lids and a matte orangey red lip. It’s amazing how much heavy lifting a red lip can do, and equally […]

Cosmic Coral Pat McGrath Cosmic Coral Divine Blush Duo ($44.00 for 0.34 oz.) is one of the few duos with genuine contrast between the two shades! The very warm-toned brown mixed with the vivid pink to create a darker, pink-coral with a semi-matte finish. Mostly opaque coverage (supposed to be buildable) Finely-milled, lightly powdery Blendable, picked up evenly with a […]

From the best friend in Girlfriends’ Guide to Divorce to the mom in Euphoria and a long list of other notable roles before, in-between and after (she just appeared in the current season of The Flight Attendant, and it’s recently been announced she’ll star in Seth MacFarlane’s Ted series) Alanna Ubach is hardly an actress who is typecast—and she wouldn’t […]
