Style for Real Life
A couple of weeks ago, I was in line at Ulta when I heard two sales associates discussing the new They're Real mascara by Benefit. As a BadGal Lash user who was not particularly satisfied with her mascara, I was skeptical. But then I heard them comparing the brushes and the different … [Read more...]
Lately, my work wardrobe has been feeling completely stale. I popped into Target for gum on Saturday and happened upon an amazing rack of earrings for below $10 each!

I have been ordering jewelry … [Read more...]

There are several brands on the market - Sephora Chic Prints and Sally Hansen Salon Effects being the most popular. I decided to try the Sally Hansen … [Read more...]
A few years ago, an impromptu shoe purchase at TJ Maxx changed my life. Up until then, I tended to wear mostly utilitarian, basic sandals. Black and brown and boring, oh my. I bought a no-name brand of metallic wedge sandals. Which I proceeded to wear the soles out of. Twice. Since … [Read more...]
