The Ultimate London Beauty Experience: My Tilbury Transformation in Covent Garden

During my stay in London I made sure to hit all the most fashionable tourist spots because I didn't want to miss that famous London High Street look!
I also made a special stop at the famous Covent Gardens which is a market in London that's popular with many local fashion bloggers and full of chic stores and cute photo ops! I was invited to get my Tilbury Transformation at the Charlotte Tilbury London store in Covent Gardens and couldn't wait to check out the location! I already covered the opening of Charlotte Tilbury's very first LA store at the Grove this summer and was so excited to see what the original London boutique had in store for me! When I arrived at the shop I headed downstairs to the very royal looking beauty lounge and checked in for my make up appointment. My artist Billie was so friendly and helped me take some before and after pictures for you guys so you can see my transformation!

She started with the skincare routine to give my face a natural glow and then applied the new airbrush foundation that I have been dying to try! The foundation was super light but gave great coverage and stayed on all day! After finishing with my face she started working on my eyes and even let me try the brand new Starry Eyes pallette along with the Rose Gold cream eyeshadow.

 I love the Rose Gold cream color because it easily blends into the skin and stays shimmery all day long!




Finally we finished my look with a pop of color to match my outfit. This lipstick color is called "The Queen" and I am in love with this bright and bold shade! It matched my dress perfectly and definitely has a royal and sophisticated tone to it making it different from a traditional bright pink lip. Check out the amazing results below! I headed off to my afternoon tea looking and feeling very posh as the brits would say! I would definitely recommend stopping by the store for fans of the brand! I scheduled my transformation for right before my Pret a Portea reservation at the Berkeley hotel and I can definitely say that getting my makeup done by a Tilbury expert really made a difference! It saved me so much time and hassle getting ready and came out way better than anything I could've done at my hotel so I would definitely recommend making an appointment if you are on the go!

The Ultimate Wellness Party Hosted by Completely Bare in Beverly Hills




The Completely Bare SummerHouse threw the ultimate weekend pool party high above Los Angeles on the hills of Mulholland Drive last weekend where I got to experience a full day of self care and wellness with a little partying mixed in too! The amazing day started off at the gorgeous BH mansion filled with fun photo ops perfect for showing off the priceless view from the house.

First, I got to take an exclusive yoga class focused on meditation techniques for self-empowerment and I even learned some new moves I can't wait to bring into my own practice.
Then after getting relaxed and centered the party continued with massages, brunch, and vitamin therapy provided by IV drip. I enjoyed the amazing lunch prepared by gourmet Chef Burke while lounging by the pool.

 I of course brought my swimsuit and took a dip to cool off before heading back to the festivities. It truly was a taste of the good life! The day continued with tunes from the DJ and celebrity guests such as Catt Sadler started to arrive for the afternoon panel. Guests enjoyed waxing and beauty treatments compliments of Completely Bare and we even got to make homemade lip scrubs with NCLA beauty! Mine was pink of course! 

The panel started at 3:30 and included Girlbosses from all areas of the entertainment industry who came to discuss cancel culture and give tips to aspiring content creators! Lily, Completely Bare’s marketing director, Amrit, an immensely successful self-made DJ and CEO, as well as podcast host, YouTuber and influencer Diana Madison and Claire of EQT music who organizes concerts and works with up and coming musicians. 
The panel was so inspiring filled with great career advice from women who weren't afraid to break the mold and are now ready to help the next generation of leaders. My favorite thing about the panel was how all of these women wanted to support up and comers and each of them spoke about the importance of sharing knowledge and advice with the next generation. The overall message seemed to be that when women stick together we are unstoppable! 
After hearing all the great advice and discussion about the latest marketing trends in the entertainment and influencer world I enjoyed the delicious bites and refreshments courtesy of chef Royce Burke, and H2Rose, Three Olives Vodka, Eric Philippe Champagne, and Gray Whale Gin.

My New Skincare Routine: How to Take Care of your Skin Using Cruelty Free and Natural Products



Skincare is so important and using the right products can really make a difference in your beauty routine as well! A great makeup routine starts with great skin and that is why I am loving the new line of Boscia skincare products. I discovered this cruelty free all natural brand at Beautycon LA this year and have been loving their line of cleansers, moisturizers, face masks, and more! I love that I can get that healthy glow after giving my skin a refresh with one of the charcoal purifying masks plus my make up goes on so much easier now too! I am breaking down my daily routine here and talking about my favorite products from the line!

Step 1

For my nighttime routine I start with the cleansing duo. I use the makeup breakup cleanser to wash off all the day's makeup and then I do a deep cleanse with the purifying cleansing gel leaving my skin feeling fresh and super clean!https://www.boscia.com/shop/product_detail.php?products_id=106

Step 2

Then I like to finish off my night by applying the Clear Complexion moisturizer which I love because I can leave it on all night to work while I sleep and it renews my skin without causing acne so I wake up to a clear complexion!https://www.boscia.com/shop/product_detail.php?products_id=120

Step 3

Finally I mist myself with the rose mist and witch hazel facial spray so I am all relaxed before going to sleep. It really makes me feel pampered even in my everyday routine! https://www.boscia.com/shop/product_detail.php?products_id=302

Step 4

For my daytime routine I wear the Chia Seed moisturizer every morning to keep my skin hydrated and happy. I love starting the day off with moisturizer because it adds an extra glow to my complexion before applying my make up and works all day to keep my skin from drying out!

Step 5

I finish by applying the BB cream with spf 30 in the color Venice for my daily makeup. The cream rubs in to match my skintone perfectly and I absolutely LOVE that it has sunscreen included in the formula. It makes it so easy to take care of my skin and protect myself from the sun without adding an extra step to my routine!https://www.boscia.com/shop/product_detail.php?products_id=320

Step 6

On days where I feel like my skin needs a little extra pampering I like to use the Mermaid Cryosea peel off mask which always leaves my skin feeling refreshed and renewed. I love pampering myself for 20 minutes with this mask just to feel relaxed sometimes!https://www.boscia.com/shop/product_detail.php?products_id=326

If you are looking for some new products I would definitely recommend trying the Boscia line because the clean beauty and natural preservatives really make a difference in keeping your skin healthy! What does your skincare routine look like? Let me know in the comments below!

BeautyCon LA 2019: Pink Carpet Trends


This year I headed back to BeautyCon LA to spot all the latest new trends in the makeup and beauty industry straight from the pink carpet and now I'm bringing them to you! This year was all about color and several celebs showed up in their brightest neon looks with matching make up and accessories.

The festival has always been a place to put the spotlight on changemakers in the beauty and influencer industry and this year was no exception with a lineup of influential speakers including Tina Knowles Lawson, Priyanka Chopra, Kelly Rowland, Ariana Huffington and more! The theme coming from this year's speakers this year was "keeping it real" and many addressed the social media driven space beauty and influencer businesswomen work with reminding aspiring influencers in the audience that social media doesn't always reflect real life. Even the successful speakers and female business owners admitted that the hard work doesn't stop once you reach success and that women still have a long way to go when it comes to equality in leadership roles.
The main message everyone could agree on at the conference was that no matter who you are and what you're doing it's important to practice self love.

Check out my interviews with these up and coming stars below to hear about the latest makeup trends Hollwyood is loving right now!

I also love attending Beautycon because it is the perfect place to discover new brands and products! I have found some of my favorite beauty tips and hacks from Beautycon! You can read all about my favorite new brands and products in my article over at Hollywood Glam magazine!

Live the Blonde Life: My Tips for Getting the Perfect Summer Beach Hair


This summer I decided it was time for an update to my hairstyle. Summer is definitely the time for a cut if you've been thinking about it because a shorter style can do wonders for keeping you cool on those hot summer days. I know I was ready for a style that could be quickly ready to go since I have a ton of summer travel plans and need an easy low maintenance do! I went to the experts at Kasai hair salon located in Manhattan Beach for the perfect playful beachy summer cut. Read all about my experience at the salon below to see how it came out!
Before
After





















I headed down to Manhattan Beach and arrived at the beautiful Kasai Salon where I got the full VIP treatment.




The salon has such a relaxing atmosphere and even has ocean views from their outdoor patio. My stylist gave me a great cut with these fun bouncy layers that made my hair feel so much lighter without looking too short! You can ask for this cut at Kasai by showing this picture and they will be able to easily recreate it!


They styled my hair giving me a blowout that lasted for the rest of the day as well and kept my hair feeling full! The salon is also launching a new line of products by celebrity hairstylist and owner Kasai. I got a sneak preview of the line which is currently only available in the salon but will be launching online soon! The line includes shampoos, conditioners, and hair masks for all hair types!



After getting my cut and style I headed down to the beach to enjoy the perfect sunny day! Everything stayed in place perfectly as you can see from my pictures! I love this cut and will be wearing it all summer with my favorite hair products from Joico.



I use the Blonde Life line to wash and condition my hair and love how this line works with my new haircut! Plus it smells amazing so that's an extra bonus! Blondes really do have more fun!
