BEAUTY MUST-HAVES

NEW BEAUTY PRODUCTS – THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE WTF?!

The best part about a blogger event is the goodie bag – that’s where I find all the latest and greatest new things to try and learn about. Sometimes I even get things sent to me in the mail to try – what a treat! In one of these fun bundles of joy I opened recently, I stumbled across a new beauty product so disturbing that I had to try it and write about it  – that’s the WTF?! of this post. I’ve also tried a few new products that I absolutely loved (‘the good’) and one that was rather disappointing (the bad). Let’s talk about them today!

NEW WORK ALERT: GET PAMPERED AT THE AIRPORT (REALLY!) – ON …

In my role as Beauty Contributor for one of the top Chicago blogs, ChiTown Fashionista, I get to test and try out a lot of different products and services around town- including my most recent adventure to get a manicure while at the airport. It was awesome – and SO relaxing. If you’re traveling for Memorial Day weekend or planning your summer vacation already – think about saving your mani-pedi for when you’re waiting for that flight! Click through below to read more!
