The moment the humidity drops from the air, I become desert level dry. My hair, skin, lips, nails, the whole nine yards. Throw in extra hand washing after diaper changes and touching literally anything during these COVID times, I’m a dry mess. Today is the last day for VIB Rouge members to get 20% off at Sephora (VIB’s get 15% and Insiders get 10%) with code HOLIDAYFUN, so I’m stocking up on my favorite remedies for flake fighting and moisturizing…

If you’re a Rouge VIB member, you’re already able to shop Sephora’s Holiday Sale with 20% off via code HOLIDAYFUN (otherwise you can get the deal tomorrow). What makes this sale so extra is the fact that they’ve released Holiday Value Sets, which not only make amazing holiday gifts, they save you a lot of green. My top pick is this Shiseido Benefiance Wrinkle Smoothing Essentials Set, because nothing compares to this eye cream and moisturizer and it’s an incredible value even…
Whether you’re heading back to the nail salon or DIY’ing these days, you might be in need of color inspiration for these transitional times. There is no need to run to the dark side just yet, and for some of us, traditional “fall colors” are just not flattering. When I think about nail colors for these in-between-times, I like to consider my current wardrobe and I look for colors that compliment what I’ve been wearing. For me, that means a…
I know I’ve shared it before, but I had to let you know that my favorite hair dryer, the Revlon One-Step Hair Dryer And Volumizer Hot Air Brush, is on sale right now right here, and here. When I tell you this dries and styles my hair in less than 10 minutes, I’m not just blowing hot air (hardy har).…
While I generally don’t subscribe to the #lovesummerhateeverythingelse mindframe, I do believe summer fragrances are superior. There is something about my summer wardrobe style that just feels best punctuated by a final walk through a misted cloud of a spot-on seasonal scent. Although I’ve tried many, there are three that I’ve been loving for years and one is under $20. These are the 3 best summer fragrances:…
As you may have heard by now, all-time favorite eye cream is the Shiseido Benefiance Wrinkle Smoothing Eye Cream. Maybe not so coincidentally, my go-to daily moisturizer with SPF is Benefiance Wrinkle Smoothing Day Cream SPF 23. If you love it too, or have ever wanted to try it, this is the skincare set you need right now.…
It’s peak hot girl summer over on the East Coast, and by that I mean I am melting. It’s a sweltering mix of dry heat and thick humidity and I will take any relief I can get. I recently tried a new water mist sunscreen, which vaguely reminded me at first glance of my mother’s Evian spray from back in the day. Apparently, it’s still a popular beauty item. However, my new perk-me-up has SPF and smells subtly like a…
I casually mentioned to my friend the other day that my hair had seen better days. Normally when my hair is short it looks and feels healthier, but between the sun, the sand, and pool, my ends were feeling dehydrated. Since cutting my hair short, I still try to hold off on washing at least every two days, however, my lob requires a bit more styling than my long locks. Rather than air dry every other wash, I feel like…
I have tried self tanners in the past and had given up hope that any brand would ever work for me. My skin is on the browner side of the spectrum thanks to my Mexicana mama, but I sometimes want a little more even color on my legs and face. After week 6 of quarantine, I caught a glimpse in the mirror and thought I had seen a ghost (maybe I’m being dramatic but I feel it). My complexion looked…
Taking care of ourselves has never been more important than it is now that it can feel like the world is ending. I found that some little creature comforts go a long way, but my supply is dwindling. Sephora’s SPRINGSAVE coupon works on some of my shelter in place must haves, and some things I’m adding in to my self love arsenal. Here are the 5 self care items in my cart right now:…
