Serena Williams has always had an ethereal glow about her. It could just be her being a world-famous tennis star, or from living in sunny Florida, or also from spending time with her beautiful family. In fact, it’s probably all of that. But the luxe brightening serum she uses makes her skin shine that much […]

The term “set the foundation” or “lay the foundation” is often used to describe creating stable conditions, especially to make something else happen. It only makes sense that our makeup foundation should do the same! Just as with an idea or a physical structure, a weak foundation messes up the entire outcome. That’s not what […]

I’m in the boat of beauty writers that are still pretty skeptical about eye creams. Part of me feels like these formulas are a simply a marketing ploy to get consumers to spend more money. Well, I feel that way about most eye creams, except for one. OleHenriksen’s Banana Bright+ Vitamin C Brightening Eye Cream […]

With the right products, prep, application and post-tan care, however, a patchy orange tan doesn’t have to be a rite of […]

It seems like everyone is either about to head out on a trip or is returning from one. In lieu of saving a little cash, I (unfortunately) fall into neither one of those categories. Yep — I’ll be braving out the rest of the Midwest spring. But that doesn’t mean I can’t look like I went to […]
