ttF Fashion Staples Series Diary: Marigolden Girls
Its freezing outside by LA standards so I piled on the knits this morning. It just so happened that my dress matched the cardigan Jen (who takes most of my pics) was wearing and my blooming roses.
Fave part of my outfit? My new Np2 nail polish in Symmetric. Online it says it’s a light gray, but on me it looks more like a mix between lavender and taupe, which are both big colors for spring.
Least fave part? My tights. The Forever 21 pair I had on yesterday were incredibly comfy but these ribbed ones have zero stretch and aren’t even warm. That store can be so inconsistent.

CoverGirl LashBlast Luxe Mascara: Which Black is Right For You?
I’m usually very dubious of online quizzes. But they’re a fun way to procrastinate whenever I’m facing writer’s block. Tonight, I took one for research purposes only. I wanted to see if CoverGirl could correctly predict which shade of their new LashBlast Luxe mascara was right for me.
Early today, I stopped by the Kick-Off to Summer Party at the Byron & Tracey Salon in Beverly Hills. I chatted with CoverGirl’s celebrity artist, Molly R. Stern, about summer beauty tips—she suggests dampening your sponge before applying foundation to achieve dewy, glowing skin. Then I got a fabulous manicure by Bali, who applied one coat of reflective pale pink polish then another coat of sheer for a luminous matte look (Remember this tip because matte nails are hot for fall). Finally, I left with a goodie bag full of CoverGirl products. Which brings me back to the quiz: Which luxe shade of the blackest-black LashBlast formula is right for me?

Earth Day 23: Zoya Nail Polish
I’m strictly an Essie girl when it comes to nail polish—aside from when I travel and use Nic Sticks (they’re less likely to leak in my carry on). But I’m considering broadening my horizons after watching my girl Daneen of Spoiled Pretty talk about some of the hottest eco-beauty buys. One product in particular especially caught my eye: Zoya nail polish. One, because it’s non-toxic and two, because I’m going to Miami this weekend so I’m loving everything and anything that comes in bright colors. Zoya has over 300 shades! Check out what Daneen has to say about the line below, and then head over to Spoiled Pretty for your chance to win the polish and more goodies in her Mother (Earth) of all Giveaways.
“Zoya Ooh-La-La and La-Di-Da Nail Polish Collections: Zoya Nail Polish is the brainchild of Zoya Reyzis who, as a pregnant aesthetician and salon owner in 1984, realized the need for a healthier and more durable solution. Zoya was the first nail polish brand to remove toxic ingredients such as toluene, camphor, formaldehyde and DBP (dibutyl phthalate) from its formulations -making it a safe and healthy polish for nailphiles everywhere, particularly expectant women. Available in over 300 fashion forward shades, this award-winning polish is the longest-wearing natural nail lacquer.”
