girl-ish
By Christie Gleason As many of you know, my favorite beauty product is lipstick. Whether it's a more subtle shade or something kinda out-there, I love it all! I've picked my favorite five lipsticks that I think every girl should have. 1. Neutral: MAC in "Brave"
I’m going to go ahead and make a bold statement here: every girl NEEDS this color in her beauty arsenal. Yes, needs. It is the perfect neutral shade with a touch of pink to wear anywhere and everywhere. It’s so subtle but has enough color to pump up your day-to-day look. I wear this color to work everyday and it is perfection.

By Ciara LeRoy Perusing the halls of an art museum is one of my favorite ways to spend an afternoon, but the worst part of visiting a museum is leaving those amazing works behind. So instead of resorting to a life of crime and planning an epic art heist, I decided to carry my favorite artists around in a more respectable way – nail art. In every installment of “Mani Museum,” I’m going to show you how to create gallery-worthy nails that will impress even the crankiest of museum security guards.
By Valerie Frost God I think my feet are going to fall off. I've just gotten off work from my second double in a row and by this point my body is screaming at me to die or just go to bed. I've been on my feet for almost twelve hours straight I can feel every minute of it in my body; the majority of the pain is in my throbbing feet. Now I don’t know what your relationship with your feet is, but to me my feet are gorgeous little princesses whom I want to pamper and lavish with gifts. Those who know me are probably questioning the truthfulness of that statement because my feet are usually sporting calluses and in the summer my heels are so impressively cracked people think I have an illness. Despite my feet’s state of disrepair they are truly loved by their owner. I buy them the best shoes and even forego cuteness and pride when I must. I've been known to wear crocs and my work shoes are worn strictly by women over 80 whose husbands have died and they’re no longer looking for love. By Kiley Shuffett I LOVE OUTER SPACE. I've never been there, but it's on my list. Until I can make it to The Cosmos, I'm going to wear the universe on my nails.
Here are two versions of the "galaxy nail" I tried this weekend. Both designs are different from one another, and took less than half an hour each! By Claire FitzSimmonds Some people love makeup. They love experimenting with make up; they love buying makeup; they love talking about makeup. I know nothing about makeup. I’d much rather spend my dollars at H&M or Mellow Mushroom.
My skin is (finally) pretty clear, so I don’t often wear much more than mascara. And sometimes I skip that. But for the mornings I wake up and my face for some reason resembles a tomato, this homemade foundation recipe comes in really handy. It’s super simple and only requires four ingredients, three of which you probably have in your kitchen right now. All you need is arrowroot powder, cocoa powder, ground cinnamon and nutmeg. I already had cocoa powder, cinnamon and nutmeg, but I had to Google arrowroot powder and then go to three different grocery stores. I’ll save you the trouble. Arrowroot is a starchy plant native to South America. Its powder is used as a base for puddings and sauces – and ta-da! foundation. Skip Trader Joe’s and Kroger and go straight to Whole Foods. They have Bob’s Mill brand for $9. By Christie Gleason One of the most popular beauty looks right now is the burgundy lip. I am OBSESSED with this look for many reasons:
1. I love lipstick in general, so a dramatic color is right up my alley. I think lip colors of all sorts (subtle or bold) really punch up an outfit and draw attention to your face. 2. Darker lipsticks create such a mysterious, sexy, dramatic look! I also think it’s really sophisticated and whenever I see a celebrity rocking this look, I want to be them. 3. I JUST LIKE THE DRAMA, OKAY?! By Kathryn Dickens The following ideas may not technically fall into the category of "life hacks”. They are not tricks or especially clever, but are more like helpful tips to lead you on the path to wellness. Honestly, “hacks” just sounds cooler than “tips”, let’s be real. 1. Buy a water bottle you love, one you want to carry around and actually drink water from. The average lady should be sipping 2-3 liters of water per day. It’s kind of like the ultimate health and beauty product. But for some reason, this has ALWAYS been a struggle for me. Recently, I bought a pretty glass water bottle and it has really helped me regularly consume more H2O. While I love some bright, outrageous, fun colors, there are many times when I love the clean, sophisticated look of a neutral manicure. I've gone through my vast nail polish collection and selected my favorites to share with you!
