We Tried Peter Thomas Roth's Mask-A-Holic Kit, and Here's What We Thought
I’m a total skincare addict and I’ve tried out so many types of skincare products out there. I don’t use skincare products to enhance my skin, but to improve my skin. Yes, there’s a fine line between the two. I have a couple of problems with my skin. Some are bearable and some make me just want to rip the skin right off of my face. I’m insanely insecure about my skin and I’m simply looking for products to help me out. Can’t a girl get a break from her terrible skin for once?

Acrylics: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
My journey with acrylics has definitely been a bag of mixed feels. So let me start from the beginning. About a month or two ago, let’s just say I watched a lot of Kardashian episodes and I think Khloe’s acryls are pretty rad. And I figured, well she types on her laptop and uses her phone ALL the time, so why can’t I get the same kitty claws and still be functional? Right?

4 Nail Art Designs That Literally Anyone Can Do
I’m the kind of person who always has their nails done. I never pay for manicures, and I constantly have people ask me how I got my nails to look so great! But my big secret is, while I’m great at painting my nails basic colours, I’m actually terrible at nail art. You wouldn’t know it, because I’m often rocking a nice gradient (my favourite, because they’re SO easy), or some other basic style. Here are five nail art designs that you can do if you’ve never picked up a striping brush in your life.

The Fuller Lips Secret
It’s all Kylie’s fault. In the 20s, lines for lips were the it thing—nowadays it's all about having your lips plumped to the max.

Best Post-Workout Beauty Tricks We Swear By
You can't tell me that you don't look like a sweaty mess after you've worked out. We all look like hot messes after we've accomplished a full-body workout, and this can be both rewarding and gross at the same time. Rewarding because we literally sweated our assess off at the gym and it shows how great we worked out just by our appearance. But gross, because... we're actually disgusting. Hold on, your friend just texted you saying, "Let's go get lit tonight," but you just finished an intense workout and you look nowhere near ready to head out. And you just know by the time you shower and get ready, it's too late. However, it's never too late, because there are ways to mask the fact that you worked out right before going out.

Makeup vs. Trust Issues
If you told my 15-year-old self that I'd fall in love with makeup, she'd probably laugh at you. I was a thick-liner-and-cheap-mascara kind of teenager, trying to be as punk as my mother would allow me to be. Here I am, just turned 27, sitting at work with a new lipstick and lip liner I bought on my lunch break teasing me on my desk. I have more makeup to my name now than I did my entire childhood.
