How to Survive NYFW with Dove

Thank you Dove for sponsoring this post.

Hey guys! Today is my last day of NYFW, and as much as I look forward to the madness that ensues during this week, I'm also looking forward to things calming down a bit. This fashion week, I outdid myself and literally burnt out yesterday from running around nonstop with 3-4 hours of sleep per day... I think doing it all by myself from attending the shows and events to documenting everything through photographs and videography (I'm even doing my first fashion week vlog on my YouTube channel this season! Coming soon!) to making it to appointments and meetings and then burning the midnight oil with edits can definitely take a toll on one person. It's a lot. So in today's post, I've partnered with one of my favorite brands of all time, Dove, to share with you guys on how to survive your first fashion week with these simple & healthy tips! 

1. NOURISH YOUR SKIN

3 in 4 dermatologists say that women often damage their skin in the shower, thinking they are caring for it. When it comes to cleansing, all skin deserves gentleness which is why 88% of dermatologists advise women to use a gentle cleanser when showering. Only Dove Body Wash is made with 100% gentle cleansers, is sulfate-free and is the #1 dermatologist recommended body wash. There's no other body wash that I use, I have been swearing by Dove for over a decade! My skin always feels so nourished - why would you want anything but silky smooth skin? You can purchase Dove Deep Moisture Body Wash in many food, drug, mass, value, club and online retailers nationwide - or here as well. 

2. TRY TO EAT RIGHT

Any fashionista knows in order to survive fashion week, you've gotta add some carbs into your diet! But as easy and as delicious as this may sound in the given moment, try to eat things in moderation. Going all out on pizza one night? No need to fret... have a yummy healthy breakfast the following morning to balance your meal intake and to feel less guilty about that extra slice of pepperoni you probably shouldn't have had but the cocktails got to you. Ha ha ha! I'm not a brekkie gal by any means, but this season I've really been watching what I eat before starting long days (we're talking 14+ hrs on some of 'em... eek.) I love smoothie bowls or smoothies in general. I love being able to take my food with me on the go!

3. A LITTLE SPLURGE NEVER KILLED NOBODY

Okay... so this might totally conflict with tip #2, but YOLO, am I right? A little treat like a few macaroons in between shows not only will give you that sugar rush you're probably in desperate need of, but you'll feel great because you've treated yourself to something yummier than leafy greens or quinoa. And treating yourself isn't limited to food either. Splurge on a nice bubble bath (using Dove Deep Moisture Body Wash makes some extra bubbles) if you aren't taking a night off or go on a shopping spree for some much needed retail therapy after coveting all the new collections straight off the runway! Just don't blame me for being a bad 'influence'! ;)

4. CELEBRATE ALONE TIME

As much as I love networking, going out and meeting people and being extra social during fashion week, everyone has their limits. Being a writer, I enjoy my solitude. I've gotten used to being alone a lot, and quite honestly I prefer it this way when it comes to relaxing. I also always feel so guilty when I'm not able to spend as much time with my German shepherd dog, MaQ. He is my fur child and I hate the idea of him being alone while I'm out and about. In between my schedule, I'll either get up extra early to have a nice, long walk with him before being out all day or I'll take an extra hour during the day (or any chance I can get with him) to spend some time with him. Our bond is maaaadddd strong and as much as I'd love to take him with me everywhere I go, it's not the reality of the situation. So instead I improvise and value my time even during one of the busiest work weeks of the year.

Tell me, my fellow fabulous fashionistas: what are some tips you have for surviving fashion week? Whether it be your diet, workout regiment and more, I'd love to hear from you! Don't forget to shop Dove Deep Moisture Body Wash and to leave your comments down below! To see more from my everyday action during NYFW, follow along on my Instagram! I'll be sharing all of my fashion week outfits on the blog on Friday, plus more designers and my first fashion week vlog! Stay tuned, so much new exciting content coming your way in the very near future! 

CLEVER and the content and opinions expressed here are all my own.

Happy Friday! What's everyone doing for the long weekend? I'm ready for some much need R&R for the next few days, as come Tuesday it's the beginning of a long and crazy week, AKA: Fashion Week. Today's post I'm sharing my latest beauty favorites that I've discovered and have been using for the past month. There's a ton of skin care and makeup products I'm excited to share with you, ranging from Lancôme, Estee Lauder, YSL Beauty and even a new K Beauty line called, Frudia. I found some really amazing lipsticks and face masks along with a brand new liquid foundation I've never tried, but am now officially obsessed with. Come take a look at all these goodies and how these can be incorporated into your beauty regimen! 

1. KIEHL'S CUCUMBER HERBAL CONDITIONING CLEANSER

You think drinking cucumber-infused water is refreshing? How about washing your face with it?! This ultra-gentle, foaming gel-lotion cleanser softly melts away dirt, impurities, and makeup while conditioning even dry, sensitive skin for a fresh-feeling clean that lasts all day. Formulated with whole cucumbers, carefully extracted to preserve the quality and nutrients of the fruit, and plant-based glycerin, this non-drying, non-irritating cleanser maintains skin's moisture leaving it soothed, velvety soft, and comfortably cleansed. My skin type is combination/oily, so I will definitely be using this cleanser to the start to the chillier season... it'll be perfect during winter time!

2. FRUDIA GREEN GRAPE PORE CONTROL SHEET MASK

Looking to get rid of that extra sebum on your face without drying it up? Stop worrying about oily skin and dirty pores. This nature-derived, botanical sheet contains 60% green grape extract to help tighten pores and balance the skin. Using a face mask like this quickly delivers active ingredients deeply to the skin to balance moisture and soothe your irritated skin. It can be used on all skin types.

3. ESTEE LAUDER REVITALIZING SUPREME PLUS GLOBAL ANTI-AGING CELL POWER CREME

This creme is the key to younger-looking skin. Unlock your skin's youth potential and see it spring back with new bounce, glow with radiant vitality. With Estee Lauder's exclusive RevitaKey Technology featuring exclusive moringa extract, this silky-soft, deeply nourishing multi-action creme encourages skin's natural power to amplify collagen and elastin. Lines and wrinkles look dramatically reduced. Skin's visible firmness, density, and elasticity are significantly improved. In just 4 weeks, 96% of women said their skin felt firmer. After using this creme every night for a little over a month now, I too can attest to an improvement in my skin's overall 'glow.' It's literally amazing.

4. FRUDIA GREEN GRAPE PORE CONTROL TONER

The only kind of toners I ever use are Korean. This pure, refreshing toner made up of 89% green grape extract controls pores with natural grape tannin and helps remove dead skin cells. Panthenol calms agitated skin, while fruits seed oil complex helps to maintain skin clarity. The tannin works with and vitamin E from the green grapes to not only hydrate the skin but keep it smooth and healthy. Soothe and hydrate your irritated skin with this fresh-feeling green grape toner, it smells fantastic too!

5. ORIGINS DR. ANDREW WEIL FOR ORIGINS™ MEGA-MUSHROOM SKIN RELIEF FACE MASK

A non-irritating, redness-reducing facial mask for those rather, extra rough days. The effects of sun, wind, and dehydration can accumulate, and your skin needs extra help to break the cycle. This rich treatment mask with hypsizygus ulmarius, cordyceps, and reishi mushrooms along with ginger, holy basil, and turmeric rushes relief to challenged skin to rapidly soothe signs of compromise. Chinese black bamboo leaf extract celebrated for centuries as a symbol of eternal youth, quells and calms visible redness and reactivity. And a unique blend of marine algae and moisture-replenishing plant extracts helps revitalize and restore luminosity to stressed skin while rebuilding a protective barrier to help avoid future flare-ups. Great for all skin types, skin is left calm and comforted. I use it once a week on top of sheet masks, and it's a great face mask.

6. URBAN DECAY ALL NIGHT LIQUID FOUNDATION 7.75

A full-coverage, matte-finish, waterproof foundation that lasts all night. All Nighter Liquid Foundation by Urban Decay provides full coverage with a modern matte finish that never looks overdone. Get all-night wear and a blown-out effect you never thought was possible for a flawless-looking complexion that looks incredible and stays that way. Perfect for all-night affairs, this innovative formula is also comfortable enough to wear every day. While Naked Skin complexion products are semi-matte, All Nighter Liquid Foundation is completely matte and oil-free. Urban Decay loaded this formula with a higher amount of pigment (about three times as much as Naked Skin Liquid Makeup), so a little goes a long way. There's no need to build coverage or apply multiple layers. This waterproof formula diffuses light to blur flaws for beautifully perfected skin, while it mattifies and absorbs oil to reduce the appearance of shine. It's a wonderful foundation for fall. 

 

7. LANCÔME MATTE SHAKERS HIGH PIGMENT LIQUID LIPSTICKS 186, 270 & 272

A highly pigmented matte liquid lipstick that delivers intense color payoff with a lightweight, second-skin feel. Matte Shaker High Pigment Liquid Lipstick wears comfortably on your lips throughout the day without drying. Its pillow-like cushion applicator allows for precise application without streaking or smudging. And it's formulated with a patented Ultra Thin Film technology and vitamin E, so that lips feel double the thinness of a liquid lipstick and provides comfortable non-drying wear. Its unique cushion sponge allows for maximum absorption of the formula to deliver a precise, soft application onto the lips, and buildable color that dries without smudging or transfer. Just shake it to soak the applicator with formula, and apply the cushion directly onto lips to build the saturated color. Then wait for it to dry down to a lightweight, comfort matte finish. I even love mixing the colors together to blend an entirely different hue as well! Really amazing liquid lipsticks. 

8. YSL BEAUTY SMOKER EYE DUO IN GREEN

A dual-ended eye shadow pen that allows you to shade, line, smudge, and highlight to create easy smoky looks. The eye shadow comes with a creamy texture and water resistant formula. One side of the dual-ended pen has a dark shadow and the other side has a light shadow, so you can use it from day to night. Use the darker color as a base on your eye lid and lower eye lid in one stroke. Use the lighter color as a highlighter on the corner of your eye and at the arch of your eye brow. For a lighter version of the look, start with the light shade as the base on both upper and lower eye lids, then add contrast and structure by applying the darker shade to the outer corner of the eyes. There's an assortment of colors but I loved the green one. You can see it on me in this look here.

9. ESTEE LAUDER ADVANCED NIGHT REPAIR SYNCHRONIZED RECOVERY COMPLEX II

Reveal a smoother, more radiant, younger look. Wake up to more beautiful skin every day. Tested and proven: Advanced Night Repair dramatically reduces the look of key signs of aging. It maximizes the power of skin's natural nighttime renewal with our exclusive ChronoluxCB Technology. Lines and wrinkles look significantly reduced. More than 75% of women felt their skin looked more youthful in just 4 weeks. Skin feels smoother, hydrated, stronger. 82% felt their skin was immediately hydrated. Skin looks younger, radiant, more even toned. 83% felt their skin looked healthier, fresher, more rested in just 4 weeks. 25+ Patents and Patents Pending Worldwide. These stats are legit - it's my new favorite serum!

10. KIEHL'S CREAMY EYE TREATMENT W/ AVOCADO

This luxurious eye cream gently moisturizes the eye area without migrating into the eyes. Perfect for use under eye makeup, it contains highly effective natural ingredients that provide essential daily hydration and protection. The eye area is left softer, suppler, and more youthful-looking. This moisturizing eye treatment formulated with avocado oil is a definite must morning and night in my beauty routine. 

11. ESTEE LAUDER PURE COLOR ENVY SCULPTING LIPSTICK - VENGEFUL RED

An Allure Best of Beauty winner, this six-hour wear, highly-pigmented lipstick gives your lip look the ultimate transformation. Make a bold color statement that lasts. Saturate lips with high-intensity color in one stroke, swiping on a statement shade that works with all skin tones. Designed with multi-faceted pigments that add definition, and a time-released moisture complex that seals in hydration, it leaves lips looking beautifully shaped, sculpted, and curvaceous. I have been trying to find the perfect red lipstick for the fall/winter season and this one is a definite keeper!

Happy Monday! Today's post is on my favorite beauty essentials I've discovered and have been using during the month of July. Some are old time favorites, but a lot of the beauty products I'll be sharing with you today you may have heard about before, but it's my first time trying and reviewing them. And because it's such a gloomy day out here in NYC, I had to bring in some colorful beauty essentials to brighten up this Monday! Let's get down to it... 

1. OLE HENRIKSEN SHEER TRANFORMATION™ PERFECTING MOISTURIZER

The Ole Henriksen Sheer Transformation® Perfecting Moisturizer is an oil-free moisturizer, rich in antioxidants, to weightlessly hydrate, even tone, and smooth skin texture for a healthy-looking complexion.Transform the way you think about your moisturizer.

It is formulated with multi-fruit acids, plus licorice and pea extracts to help gently refine uneven skin tone and texture. This silky, multitasking moisturizer is also the perfect prep step for makeup because it smooths and brightens for flawless foundation application.

2. ORIGINS GINZING REFRESHING SCRUB CLEANSER

Jojoba and carnauba wax gently exfoliate to help unclog pores. Skin looks smoother, brighter. Feels perfectly refreshed and squeaky clean.

3. MUSTAEV MOOD THERAPY MASK - JOY

Tone up your sunburned skin from frequent outdoor activities! The Mustaev Mood Therapy Mask - Joy mask contains soothing extracts that even the skin tone and improve the overall clarity. Supercharged with a brightening solution to help alleviate and improve the appearance of dark spots and freckles. There are many factors that contribute to how your skin looks. Diet, hygiene and the environment are a few but did you know your emotions and mood could be the reason for a dull complexion, dehydrated skin, wrinkles, and breakouts?Anger, sadness, and stress are a few emotions we experience regularly and each of these moods adversely affect our skin. Mustaev does carry other moods for other skin needs, you guys need to check them out!

4. AVEDA BE CURLY™ CURL ENHANCER

One of my favorite hair products to use while at the beach or just keeping it super casual is the Aveda Be Curly™ Curl Enhancer. Since I have naturally wavy hair, this product intensifies curl, combats frizz and boosts shine on curly or wavy hair. Wheat protein and organic aloe infused styling creme expands when hair is wet and retracts when hair is dry to intensify your curl or wave. Aveda's own pure-fume™ aroma with certified organic lemon, bergamot, orange and other pure flower and plant essences will keep your hair smelling fresh and amazing.

5. STUDIO MAKEUP ON THE GO EYESHADOW PALETTE

The On the Go eyeshadow palette is a compilation of shades that updates the bare beauty look with a cosmopolitan attitude. With this elegant palette, you can create the prettier, urban makeup look and Go Studio from day to night. The On the Go Eyeshadow Palette includes 9 shades that will boost your confidence all year round. This "Cool Down" palette contains 9 shadows: 5 mattes, 3 satin-shimmer shades, and 1 foiled shade. All of the shades are, as the name suggests, distinctly cool-toned. There are cream shades with pink undertones, taupe with lilac undertones, and cool browns, berries, lavenders, and grays. It is beautiful to look at – very Fall/Winter appropriate.

6. MUSTAEV MAXI VOLUME MASCARA

Another favorite product by Mustaev is the Maxi Volume Mascara which provides gorgeous, voluminous, high impact lashes! The dark, rich color coats and curls the lashes while providing a long lasting wear with no smudging, running, flaking or clumping. I've been using it since this photo shoot and I just can't get enough of it!

7. DIOR ADDICT ULTRA GLOSS 'EVERDIOR'

More than just a gloss, Dior Addict Ultra-Gloss is a lip plumper and gloss all in one. Bursting with hyaluronic acid spheres, its plumping and ultra-hydrating formula gives lips a supple, plump shape bursting with freshness, and offers up to six hours of continuous, deep moisture. Ultra-glossy, lips are glossed with an incredibly thin and easy-wearing mirror-shine film. I'm obsessed with the "Everdior" coral summer color, it's been perfect for the month of July! Will definitely be wearing more of this color for the remainder of the season.

8. MILK MAKEUP BLUR STICK

Last but not least is the Milk Makeup Blur Stick. A colorless, oil- and silicone-free primer to blur the look of imperfections on all skin tones. The Blur Stick minimizes the appearance of pores and fine lines on every skin tone for an invisible, smooth matte finish. Use it as a primer for a smooth finish and to lock in your makeup. This stick is free of silicone, and it will not clog pores.

Eve by Eve's Body Trio – Golden Age


THIS POST IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY EVE BY EVE'S, BUT ALL OPINIONS ARE MY OWN.

Happy Wednesday, guys! I've got so much upcoming content for you guys, I am beyond excited for the upcoming projects I'll be partaking in the next few weeks. One, I'll be shooting my very first commercial on Monday(!) I can't say anything more until the day of the shoot so stay tuned and follow the behind the scenes on my Insta-Stories! Two, I'll be shooting my very first cover for a fashion magazine and the theme is a concept I've been wanting to do for the longest time so you can imagine my enthusiasm about this! The issue won't be out until the fall but I can't wait! Lastly, I will be posting a new YouTube editorial video in light of Father's day approaching us, it will go live later this afternoon and I am thrilled to be creating videos for my audience again. The video is dedicated to my father, who unfortunately passed away nearly five years ago. Full blog post with the video included will also be live on the blog tomorrow, phew that's a lot in one paragraph! :)

Today's blog post is focused on a brand I've recently discovered. Eve’s Temptation was founded in 2001 by Eva Hsieh. Her philosophy that beauty starts on the inside and radiates on the outside, sparked the idea that there is no more intimate a garment that a woman can wear than her lingerie. While not always visible, great fitting lingerie has the power to instill confidence, giving a woman the power to shine. A true advocate for style with comfort, Eva believes that intimate apparel is the first layer of clothing and the perfect fit helps a woman feel her most confident. Over the years, our team has been dedicated to perfecting the fit process, implementing a 16-step fit process in designing a single lingerie garment. A combination of classic French designs with exquisite craftsmanship, we offer a versatile assortment of products ranging from bras, panties, sleep, and loungewear, to swim, shapewear sportswear and now, ready-to-wear. Eva’s passion for beauty from within also led to the creation of our beauty and skincare range. Their team has spent years traveling the globe, sourcing only the finest ingredients and choosing the most prestigious locations to bring a natural, organic and luxurious beauty collection. Like the Body Trio - Golden Age collection, for example. 

1. CHAMPAGNE RENEWAL SHOWER GEL

Rich in powerful antioxidants, it protects the skin from environmental damages and promotes collagen renewal. With its red vine leaf extract - it helps increase microcirculation, strengthen blood vessels, and promote collagen and elastin productions. The Champagne Renewal Shower Gel is formulated without Parabens and is perfect for all skin types. I love how the rich lather in the shower gel is and my skin was so plump and soft after use. I mean, who doesn't want to put champagne on their skin?! Is it as decadent as it sounds? You betcha! The gel has the most gorgeous shimmery tint to it as well, giving your skin that extra summer glow.

2. DETOXIFYING ANTI-CELLULITE BODY SERUM 

With key ingredients such as vectorized caffeine, green tea extract, Breton kelp extract and Gamma-PGA (Japanese soybeans) this anti-cellulite body serum provides lasting hydration, reaches fat accumulation, detoxifies and eliminates toxins while slimming, revitalizing and renewing, it reaches the heart of the cells to deliver long-lasting slimming action. The serum smells amazing along with its effectiveness.    

3. FIRMING ANTI-STRETCH MARK BODY LOTION 

With Tara gum & chicory extract, spirulina & Maritima Aster algae extract, firming oil blend and Gamma-PGA (Japanese Fermented Soybeans) this anti-stretch mark body lotion also provides lasting hydration, along with an increase in microcirculation and skin metabolism, and a strong firming action by stimulating collagen production. I love the firming oil blend due to its richness in vitamins and fatty acids, cranberry oil, sweet almond oil, grape seed oil and argan oil aids in conditioning the skin and preventing the formation of stretch marks. The fast absorption leaves my skin satin smooth with no oil residue. I strongly recommend applying the serum before the lotion to obtain its long-lasting effects.
