Now that we’ve ushered in a new season (let hot girl summer commence), it’s officially time to make some slight tweaks to my routines. I’m talking skincare, haircare, body care, and makeup. I’ll be spending more time in the sun getting tan, bronzed, and glowy, so I’m on the hunt for products that fit the…
I spend my days online shopping (well, metaphorically). If I’m not testing a new beauty product, I’m researching what’s on the horizon and surfing the web for my next beauty fixation. Occasionally, my deep internet dives reveal a treasure trove of beauty deals hiding among the mounds of new launches—and to my delight, there are…
As someone who grew up in Seattle (where Nordstrom was founded), I like to celebrate the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale every year as the kickoff to my summer shopping. I can score all the beauty finds I’ve had at the top of my list for months at a much lower price during the sale, allowing me…
Perhaps it’s because I’m a former fashion student who now works as a beauty editor, but I have a certain sense of synesthesia when it comes to fashion and beauty brands. It just makes sense to me—of course, the woman in the exquisitely structured blazer has a Khaite tote bag full of Violette_FR lippies, you…
Each summer, I spend a lot of time at the beach. Like, a lot. Whether it’s the freshwater coast of Lake Michigan or the salty shores of Southern California, being at the beach is genuinely my favorite way to spend time. However, it doesn’t come without downsides. I may be beach-obsessed, but I’m also a…
“What do you do for a living?” Oh, me? I shop. But the question I’m hoping they follow up with: “Where have you been shopping lately?” Because trust, I’m always ready to yap about what’s in my Nordstrom cart. It’s my favorite kind of small talk. It’s only natural for a shopping editor to want…
Welcome to Internet Famous, a monthly series in which we ask our Instagram followers to vote on a viral beauty product that’s taken social media by storm. Then the beauty team will take the winning pick for a spin and share their reviews—pictures included. Over the years, “chronically online” has been added to the long…
It should come as no surprise that recommending beauty products is one of the best parts of my job. As someone who spent years buying products only to feel cheated and disappointed (such a drag!) I know how it important it is to be able to trust the recommendations you receive. So, I’ve made it…
Most Wanted is a weekly series in which one editor, staffer, or influencer shares their top 30 must-haves or current wish-list items. It’s officially summer, which means attaining clear, glowing skin; incandescently healthy hair; and an unforgettable signature scent has become my seasonal sport of choice. So over the last few weeks, I’ve put together…
I’m a beauty editor who lives for summer, despite all of the potential damage that it can cause (sun damage, skin discoloration, split ends, you name it). Every year, I do my best to savor the season and attend as many beach days, alfresco dinners, and rooftop cocktail hours as I can squeeze into my…
