With all the events that go on during the week, I take the weekends to just chill, cuddle with my dog, eat ridiculous amounts of food, and thanks to this new collaboration launching today…try out some beauty products.
New In Beauty: Surratt
When it comes to beauty, I feel the same way as I do about fashion — I’m always looking for that cool new emerging brand that’s doing something no one else is doing (which is pretty difficult to do in either industry). Because this is ChiCityFashion (which is quite fashion-focused) I can’t forget about my other love, beauty. I haven’t touched on the subject in a while (with the exception of this) because there hasn’t been anything that’s really stuck out to me worthy of sharing on CCF. But that all changed last Thursday night…
Nailed It
If you follow me on Instagram, you’ve probably realized by now (especially if you happen to really pay attention to your feed on Mondays) that I kind of have a nail polish addiction. I #ManiMonday every week (unless I’m out of town of course) and I don’t plan on stopping any time soon. But with the extent of my color combinations relying on my collection (although I can’t complain, it’s not small), I’m always looking for new colors to incorporate. I typically use Ginger + Liz, Deborah Lippmann and NARS but now we have a new group of cool kids to add to the bunch.
At Your Service
Between #manimonday and whatever I’m doing with my hair these days, I like to be loyal to the people and places that make these things happen. Not saying I’d never try a new salon or spa but when I enjoy the services I receive, I keep going back. And because I feel like I’ve finally figured out my go-to salons and spas in the city (it doesn’t happen overnight, trust me) I thought I’d share the love. After all, the more you know…
(right, NBC?)
July Beautified
I hate to make another one of those “beauty obsessions” posts (I’m sure you see plenty) but I’ve been trying a lot of new products lately and I haven’t done a beauty post in a while, so I thought I’d give it a go. This isn’t necessarily a summer beauty feature (these products are great now as well as year round) but because it’s July which means summer is in full swing (although that’s questionable in Chicago) it’s time to get your July beautified.
