I will admit I am a full-blown beauty junkie. I love trying out all kinds of products and playing with different looks. I’m also very lucky to work in the beauty industry, where playing with and changing up your look is always encouraged! However, no matter how much fun I’m having playing around with my item of the week, I will always return to my must-have products. And guess what? Most of them come from my local CVS or Walgreens! Don’t get me wrong: I love pillaging Sephora like the next gal, but there’s nothing like a great, reliable product that is easily accessible while also being easy on your wallet.

Wedding #1 of 5 is coming up this weekend (and I’m riding solo for this one). I’m counting down to the moment I get off the plane in San Francisco and reunite with my high school friends as we celebrate the first of us getting hitched. My dress is on the way, and my dancing shoes are packed. My friend is a professional photographer so aside from the 8 hours of sleep and the vitamins I plan to take, I’m taking my make-up game to the next level in anticipation of the photo booth and Instagram feed they’re projecting in real-time at the reception.
I’m all about elevated classics, so I found great tips from some of our favorite blogs that allow me to stay just within my comfort zone but up the glam game for this special occasion.

Dry winter air can certainly do a number on a girl’s hair. The mix of sunshine reflecting off snowdrifts, wintery winds whipping our hair into a knotted whirl, and icy rain and snow can leave our hair brittle and broken. Luckily, the right preventative measures, products, and tools can ward off the threat of bad hair days.
In my former life with P&G I worked on two different hair product brands, spent a considerable amount of time working alongside stylists, and learned some insider secrets on proper hair care. I picked up a few tips on tricks for making it through the winter months. TSD’s Winter Hair Survival Guide will help you build your own toolkit of the products and tools you need to keep your hair looking hydrated and healthy.
The biggest beauty night of the year is nearly upon us: New Year’s Eve. December 31st is not the time to play it safe and wear your same old little black dress and follow your same old makeup routine. It’s a time for true glitz and glamour and, even if you’re just at home when the ball drops, why not have a little fun and take a risk with your make-up? 2013 has been a major year for all things beauty (crazy manicures, blue lips) so if you haven’t had the chance or the courage to try something new just yet, now is your time to shine. Here, a few of the best beauty looks from this year and how to incorporate them into your New Year’s look. To keep your face looking perfect late into the night be sure to incorporate primer, a setting spray, and waterproof mascara.
