I’m mourning the end of an era today – Paul’s last day of class at Columbia Business School. The MBA years sure have treated us well: 2,900 mile drive across the country, 525 sq. ft. apartment in Manhattan, 7 full days of orientation flare, 100s of recruiting events, 10 weeks in banking, 4 black tie … Continue reading »
When I first decided I was ready to blog, my universe revolved around beauty (I was working in beauty PR), and I was relatively new to Manhattan. Well, things have changed. I still love beauty (obsessively love, and Paul gets nervous every time he sees a Sephora/Barneys bag in the house that our bank account … Continue reading »
And with that wrinkled face and oversized ears, Leo has taken his place in the household. We couldn’t be more pleased with his arrival, and his remarkable adjustment to life in the big city. He hasn’t made a single accident in the house yet! (Knock wood) He is settling in beautifully, and I will keep … Continue reading »
Normally when I get Sephora emails, I give them a quick scan and then press delete – but the latest one made me pause and got my beauty-loving heart to skip a beat. I mean – just look at these blushes. GORGEOUS. The colors! The texture! The skin benefits! They are so true and beautiful, … Continue reading »

I got an email last week from Sephora about a cute little NARS gift with a $35 purchase for their VIB members. I don’t remember what the VIB stands for, but it just means I spend too much on makeup. If you’re reading this, you probably do too. Anyway, I wanted a few items and … Continue reading »
I rather like testing out foundations and writing up my experience, so here we go with another one! I actually used this foundation a few years ago when I was on a mineral foundation kick and remembered really loving it. I hadn’t thought of it much since (like Jay-z, I’m always on to the next … Continue reading »
While I am on a bit of a Dior theme, I though I would write a quick review on my favorite eyeshadow palette by the illustrious French fashion house: Lifting Ivory 532. I actually only own two Dior palettes, so maybe favorite is a bit of a stretch, but I reach for this palette almost … Continue reading »
I really love foundation, and love to try new ones all the time. This is not a trait the Mr. loves about me (eh hem, bank account), so I try to keep my purchases within reason. To do this, I try to justify each purchase as somehow unique from the others in my collection.This was … Continue reading »
I will post photos of my makeup collection soon, but before I start the monumental project of cleaning, sorting, and stressing over the photo-ready quality of my collection, I will share a secret with you: I love luxury makeup. I know, gag. Don’t we all. But really, the packaging, the quality, the ingredients, all of … Continue reading »
