A fresh face of makeup is never complete without a quick application of eyeshadow. I personally have made it my mission to find an eyeshadow that works best for me. My latest obsession is with the Urban Decay Naked Palette. The shades are so simple to blend and make me feel like I actually know what I'm doing when it comes to applying makeup. But a girl can never have too many, which is why...
After dating for a while, the next logical step is to consider moving in together. At least that's where I am at with the current dude in my life. When the subject was first brought up, I was excited. I mean, my boyfriend is a pretty ok guy (I like him enough, I guess) and this felt like a real grown up step for the lady who once stated that her relationships almost never lasted longer than a bag...
During the Golden Globes last Sunday, there was one beauty combo we couldn't keep our eyes off of: the smoky eye and nude lip. We saw it interpreted by three ladies, each who pulled it off flawlessly. We love the contrast of the dark, dramatic eye with the subtle feminine lip. A nude lip can scare some people off, but don't freak yet. The trick is finding the perfect shade to match your come...
Are you a #selfie taker? Fellow CA staff member Miranda is a selfie addict. I just caught her taking one as we got into the elevator on our way to lunch, just sayin'. I myself, am not a huge fan of selfies. They make me self conscious and usually I end up the one behind the lens instead. Of course, we're all our own worst critic. How many times have you snapped a selfie, checked it out and...

I am in the unfortunate situation of being both incredibly lazy and loving beauty products. When I'm at home, or coming from the office, my usual look is subtle, natural and laid back. Hairs in a bun and clothes are mostly easy, throw on basics. However, there are occasions that need me to quickly take my lazy Alex look and bring it to fancy schmancy professional Alex. Interviews, meetings, dates,...

With the new year, comes a fresh start and a chance to throw caution to the wind and take a chance on something new. This year I am starting with beauty. While I'm totally not afraid of brights and bold red matte lip is my go-to, there is one lip trend that sends a shiver up my spine: the metallic shimmer lip. Just the name conjures up images in my head of 90's girl bands and frosted candy...
It always amazes me how much of a difference mascara makes. Eyes go from ho-hum to BAM! In your face! Having majuurr lashes creates larger eyes and puts the focus on those peepers. If only we woke up in the morning with mascara-like lashes all ready to go, amirite?! Well, actually, there may be something to it. While we've tried lash extensions and totally loved the results, extensions are not...
