By now, you understand your belt and shoes should match. The same rules apply to your watch, as well.

If so, use the guidelines found here. 1. Wear Your Watch on Your Non-Dominant Wrist It doesn’t matter if you are wearing a watch from https://grantwydeven.com/best-products/best-altimeter-abc-watches/ or another brand, a good rule of thumb is to wear it on your non-dominant wrist. This is…

Did you know people in Brazil, Colombia, and Australia shower more often than people in the US, Spain, and France? It’s likely due to the heat, unless it’s a cultural phenomenon. Still, whether you’re a once-a-day kind of person or an every third day kind of person, don’t you want to look cute as you get clean? And don’t you want your shower to be accessorized in such a way that the task becomes a treat? Below, we’re going to lay out some shower accessories for both you and your fabulous tub. 1.

I don’t know about you, but I feel like finding a signature scent is just as difficult as finding a life partner. It’s like, how do you choose one unless you try them all out first? And the options are limitless, so you have to make a lot of hard decisions. Are you a floral kind of girl? Or do you want to smell like a citrus grove? The beach? The woods? What if you want to smell like everything at once or nothing at all? Instead of just making a decision and sticking with it, most of us do…

Any brand can have an amazing product, but the only way that people are going to find out about it is by: Hearing it from a friend.Seeing it in a magazine or online blog.Seeing your favorite beauty blogger rave about it. The last option seems to be the newest but the quickest to catch on. Prior to social media, we really only relied on magazines to see what the hell was going on the in beauty and fashion world, but now that we spend a good chunk of our free time on social media, it only makes sense that it…

Remember when we used to look at a magazine once a month and that was the only time when you were introduced to new beauty products? Sounds like absolute craziness when you think about it since now we’re surrounded by new products no matter where we are: Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, and especially YouTube. Whether you’re watching someone’s monthly favorites, a makeup tutorial, or a get ready with me video, you’re exposed to anywhere from 2 to 20 products, and chances are you started a mental list of things you’re going to purchase next time you hit up the drugstore or your local Sephora. Whether…

Obviously, you guys must all know by now that I’m not afraid to splurge on beauty products. Any beauty-obsessed girl does. It’s inevitable. But I remember when I first started to stray away from drugstore products and start to purchase high-end products, I really had no idea where to start. Now that I’m into trying even more high-end products (or “luxury” beauty products as they’re called), I am really having a hard time finding out where to start. Of course, there’s tons of room for error when you’re purchasing a $20 foundation, but one for $165? Now that’s something you want to make sure works…

Unfortunately for most of us, we don’t have a secret bank account full of cash that we can blow on all the newest beauty products (though we wish we did, of course). There are constantly new, innovative products coming out that we beauty lovers would love to have. Whether it’s a $300 wrinkle-reducing device or a foundation that will make your skin look airbrushed, beauty-philes seem to always be willing to dish out cash—even if it seems like a ridiculous price—to get something great. This is a summary of me to a T. I am constantly spending all my extra money (even…

Are you using and abusing serums, or do you think they’re a waste of time? As someone who makes a living writing beauty-related content, I have a pretty good grasp of what’s happening in the makeup and skincare world. I’m not a total pro, and there have been times when I’ve looked to you guys for help (see here and here for examples), but in general, I know what’s up. Except when it comes to serums. I don’t know what to make of them. I understand the basics–serums are lightweight moisturizers with super high concentrations of active ingredients that penetrate the skin–but should I…

The world of beauty is a huge one. For a beauty lover, walking into your local Sephora or Ulta is like a opening a whole new world of opportunity and choices. While, yes, it’s great to have thousands upon thousands of worthwhile choices for a new product that you’ll take home with you, it can also be quite overwhelming—especially within the category of lip products. While things like foundation and coverup are a bit less complicated to find—just find your shade and your desired coverage and finish, and chances are, you’ve narrowed down your choices to about two or three…

Everyone knows that your daily horoscope is the best place to turn whenever you’re faced with making tough decisions. And really, what decision could be tougher than choosing a new shade of lipstick? There are so many different colors, brands, and consistencies to pick from that even the most decisive among us can crumble in the face of the task. I’m kidding, of course. We’re all busy women with rich and full lives, so I’m sure we can all agree that lipstick shopping is probably the least stressful activity ever. However, there really are a ton of different lipstick colors to choose…

You don’t need to buy a completely new shade to get matte lips. Here are X tutorials to help you mattify your lipstick. Hello, hi, it’s been a minute since I last talked about lipstick, so here I am. Today’s topic: How to save money by learning how to mattify the shades you already own instead of shelling out for a new matte shade. I don’t know if any of you have noticed, but matte lips really came into the spotlight toward the end of last year, and if some of the celeb beauty looks on the Teen Choice Awards blue carpet are…
