“Rock the natural curls.” -Natalia, Art Director
I was blessed and cursed with thick, curly and frizzy hair. I say blessed because after years of tangled out of control hair, dozens of styling tools, and hair care products, I’ve finally mastered styling my hair into soft, wavy curls and dialed down the routine from 2 hrs to 45mins. This year though, I’d like to go back to my natural roots and let the mane go wild. The hot tools and products work miracles on getting silky smooth hair, but it’d be kinda liberating to step out in natural curls.
“Dress to impress.” -Joanna, Marketing Director
Austin’s known for it’s very “relaxed look” so we’re very casually dressed in the office. However, the famous Paris Hilton once said, “There’s too many beautiful women in the world to not always dress your best.” I’m taking her advice and making the office my runway!
“Give myself compliments on a daily basis.” -Lauren, Customer Account Manager
I feel beautiful but it is so much easier to spot out the imperfections. When I see something in the mirror I don’t love I am not putting myself down, I am and going to make it something I am proud of. I am talking about you after holiday belly bump!
“Find my one true red.” -Alexa, Communications Director
I love lipstick and I have a great selection of bright pinks and purples, but I’m still questing for the perfect red. I’ve thrown out or returned a few in the last two years because they were the wrong color, had an awkward shape, or dried out my lips, but this lack of a power red is killing me. The quest begins!
Looking for a thick gloss that you won’t have to reapply? This might be the ticket. Ofra’s Sultry Lipgloss Plumper comes in a vampy burgundy that’s perfect for ladies who want to experiment with dark lip colors, but don’t want to commit.
Sure, your boyfriend won’t love it, but he probably doesn’t dig your lipstick all over his face, either.

Could this have come at a more perfect time?
Summer is usually when we give our hands and feet the attention they deserve, but you shouldn’t settle for one season of great skin!
During the cold months is actually when you need the most TLC and this little guy will help you quickly and easily shave down unsightly rough patches and keep you feeling sexy, even after your faux tan has faded.
As a self-confessed shedder, cleaning my brushes has always been a frequent, unpleasant chore, especially when I had long hair. I didn’t like pulling out my dead strands because the texture was dry and gross, and because I couldn’t never get my brush completely clean.
Gross brushes, meet my new friend, the Sam Villa Brush Cleaner.

Listen up, working gals and natural ladies: Love in Rio by NYX just might be your new favorite thing.
Here are two reasons NYX is always in my purse:
1. The endless opportunities. Love in Rio comes in 22 palettes for work and play, and the more bold palettes have some funky combinations that I’m dying to try.
2. Good packaging. I’m thankful that I can throw this guy into my purse and not worry about it getting damaged, and I love that I have three color options, even if I’m just rocking an itty bitty clutch.
1. Of course you know Bey’s new album is fierce and her style is fly, but here’s a little reminder. [the cut]

5. Chanel put on a problematic fashion show featuring lots of Native American cultural appropriation, and sort of apologized, but not really. And more folks don’t see why it was an issue. Womp. [fashionista]
6. YSL might have the BB cream to end all BB creams. [dulce candy]
7. Ready for a shock? You might be surprised to learn about your man’s beauty spending habits. [beauty world news]
