This past Saturday, my sister + I had the opportunity to go to BeautyCon in New York City! Neither of us had ever been before, but since it was right in our backyard, we jumped at the chance to attend. It was quite the experience – so many people, so many YouTubers, bloggers + celebrities, lots of freebies, great panels, and a ton of new products + beauty apps to try! I don’t feel the need to share a full play-by-play of the day, but I wanted to share some of the fun pictures that we snapped!
Exclusive Interview with Gelish!



I learned so much about Gelish from Irene! I didn’t realize that they were the first brush-in-bottle polish, or that they even sold a cuticle oil (you all know how much I love my cuticle oil); Irene offered to send me a bottle and I honestly cannot wait to try it! I’m also dying to see this Fall collection!
It must be so fun working with nail polish behind the scenes-what an amazing job! Sending major thanks to Irene for talking with me- it was a pleasure!
Have you tried any of the Gelish polishes or products? Let me know your favorites! 🙂
Quick Eyebrow Trick!
Is there a quick beauty trick that you MUST do before you leave the house? An extra spritz of hairspray, some smoothing serum, a quick floss of your teeth? I have one that is a complete necessity …brushing and shaping my eyebrows!
It is so quick and easy, requires the purchase of nothing and will completely polish your look.
1) Grab a clean mascara brush- you can find these on display at nearly every beauty store. There are usually bunches of them available for customers to use for testing mascaras. Whenever I pop into Sephora I always grab a couple to bring home (I hope that doesn’t count as stealing..it’s like a sample!)
2) Place the tip of the brush close to the nozzle of your hairspray and spritz a small amount onto the tip.
3) Brush your eyebrows from the center of your face out. Be sure the path of the brush is drawn to enhance your natural arch.


(Be sure to run the brush under hot water when you’re done, otherwise the hairspray will build up and harden)
And voila! I am so nutty about doing my brows in the morning that I carry an extra brush and pocket sized hairspray in my purse just in case I forget!
