My Simple, 5-Step Summer Glow Makeup Routine

Lindsay Silberman — Wed, 16 Apr 2025 20:11:30 +0000

It’s no secret that spring and summer call for lighter and more glowy makeup looks. There’s just something about the warmer weather that makes a low-maintenance routine that much more appealing. Plus, my days can get hectic (especially during the summer months) so it’s important for me to get ready quickly in the mornings. I’m sure a lot of you are in the same boat. This 5-step summer glow makeup routine is exactly what I follow when I need to look put together but have limited prep time. It’s so quick and simple that I swear even makeup newbies can pull it off. Since so many of you are shopping the Sephora Savings Event this week, I figured now would be the perfect time to share some of my recs! Whether you’re meeting friends for […]

As someone who reviews products for a living, it takes something truly spectacular to stand out enough to be considered a holy-grail favorite.

The Best Lip Combos for a Neutral, Everyday Look

Lindsay Silberman — Tue, 23 Jul 2024 16:17:00 +0000

One topic I really haven’t blogged much about is my favorite lip products. (I have a lot of them!) I don’t know about you guys, but I always tend to gravitate toward neutrals — specifically colors that fall within the rosey nude and mauve family.* *I will add a caveat that I recently tried this Urban Decay Vice Lip Bond in a bold red, and I might start going bold more often! I love playing around with different lip liners, lipsticks, and lip gloss combinations, so I figured I’d share two combos that I’ve been wearing a lot lately. Even if you wear just the lipsticks on their own, each of these shades has my enthusiastic stamp of approval. I’d honestly consider them the be the best lip combos out there! Best Lip Combos PRO […]

My Tried-and-True Morning Routine for Skin

Kara Thompson — Sun, 28 Apr 2024 16:03:50 +0000

After years of testing hundreds (maybe even thousands) of beauty products, I’m happy to report that I’ve totally nailed my morning skincare routine. With so much information out there about the best skincare practices and highly coveted products, I know it can be overwhelming to differentiate quality tips from bogus advice. Having a solid skincare routine in place is essential for the overall health and appearance of your complexion. And while your skin’s needs might change throughout the month and season, following a routine can help combat issues like acne, clogged pores, and sun damage. Here, I’m sharing the morning routine that I’ve found to work best for a variety of skin types. These steps are simple yet they’ll properly prepare your skin for the day ahead—as well as provide the protection you need from […]

How to Use Hyaluronic Acid The Right Way

Lindsay Silberman — Sun, 07 Apr 2024 09:43:00 +0000

One ingredient that has become ever more popular in skincare in recent years is hyaluronic acid—and it has developed a loyal fan base of the likes of Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Khloe Kardashian, and Scarlett Johansson. Why? Well, that’s easy. The benefits of hyaluronic acid for the skin are pretty extraordinary. It’s known as the ultimate “plumping” ingredient and helps give your skin a bouncy, youthful, firmer texture. We’ll go more in-depth into all the other added benefits later in the article, and we’ll also share the absolute best hyaluronic acid serums on the market (including our thoughts on the famously cheap—and famously popular—The Ordinary HA serum.) But first, let’s start by addressing the most basic question: how do you use hyaluronic acid? See below for the full skincare scoop. How to use Hyaluronic Acid Step 1: […]

My Honest Merit Makeup Review (and Which Products Are Actually Worth it)

Kara Thompson — Wed, 10 Jan 2024 00:25:35 +0000

While Lindsay has undoubtedly tried just about every skincare and makeup product out there, I’m the complete opposite. I’ve had the same routine and have used the same handful of makeup products for years. So when I was asked to test and review some of Merit’s most popular finds, I was honestly a little bit intimidated. I’m a total minimalist when it comes to my beauty routine, choosing only a few products to incorporate in my daily lineup. I also don’t like to wear a lot of makeup. And always opt for finds that leave me with a natural look. Plus, I like my makeup routine to be quick and easy to get through (who has time for a lengthy routine anyway?) Without giving away too many spoilers, I will say that I was pleasantly […]

Ilia Foundation Review: Is This Cult-Favorite Product Worth the Hype?

InfluencerSEO — Tue, 28 Nov 2023 22:51:31 +0000

When it comes to beauty, there’s no doubt that I love to test out new products (it is my job after all.) However, I’m definitely more eager about trying products from brands that I’m somewhat familiar with. After seeing so many positive reviews and a lot of talk on social media, I couldn’t help but be intrigued by Ilia Foundation. After testing so many makeup products over the years, I definitely have had a lot of experience with different types of foundation. I rely on it to help me look more awake (night owl over here) and leave my skin with a dewy, healthy look. But in my quest to find the right foundation, I learned that not all of them should be treated equally. Not even close. When shopping for a foundation, it’s important […]
