Yes we are roughly six weeks away from Christmas. Are you ready? I for one am not quite up to speed.

Derma Blend and How I Winterize My Makeup Routine

by alimackin@gmail.com
Halloween has come and gone and we are officially headed in to the winter season. And much like one would winterize their home, when the seasons change it is also time to change up one’s makeup routine.

Alice & Olivia SS 2016 For Lookbook Friday

A cool toned ruby red dominates the palette in a luxurious sultry vibe which is accented with a shimmering jewel toned green, a rich mustard and lots of black and white.

I wore them to NYFW to a number of shows, and here I wore them to go out to dinner with a couple of fellow bloggers
