text-align: center;"> </div> <br /> <div style="text-align: left;"> If there ever was a brand that would make me feel so at home in their clothing, it would be Everlane. The classically minimal branding met with high quality basics and essentials easily make this clothing line one of my all-time favorites. Thanks to an RSVP I received, I was lucky enough to attend an open studio Everlane hosted in NYC. The whole event was intended to ring in their latest collection of GoWeave track and casual pants, which we got to try on and even model for their snap story. </div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> But if that wasn't enough to keep us there for more than an hour, the aesthetics of the open studio were Godly. Pure white on rustic light wood met with tall green ferns and full length mirrors against a wall of windows for natural light, I was literally in heaven. Not to mention the unlimited champagne infused with blueberries because why the hell not? The staff at the studio were exceptional and they really knew the value in each and every piece hanging on the racks scattered about the space. The welcoming was real and I can proudly say that I stan for this brand with all of my minimal-loving-heart.<br /> <br /> Because of who I am as a person, I walked away purchasing something online that I tried on at the studio - the plain pocket white tee I'm sporting in most of the pics. But if you're really looking for some causal street wear ready pants, run, do not walk and order the <a href="https://www.everlane.com/collections/womens-newest-arrivals/products/womens-goweave-track-pant-black" target="_blank">GoWeave Track Pant</a>. Once I tried them on I never wanted to take them off. Overall, the open studio was such a lovely experience. I truly love seeing brands that consciously stand for something continuously growing in their collections. @Everlane, hats off to you and your team.  </div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <br /></div>

I believe skincare is HIGHLY underrated and should be promoted as ferociously as the makeup we willingly load onto our faces. There is nothing more exciting than having double-take worthy skin that glows to the highest heavens. Not only is it aesthetically pleasing, but the overall health of your skin is the ultimate goal. After discovering a few new skincare products in recent weeks, I figured it was about time to share all my skincare essentials that I cannot function without. Rather than boring you with the my 20 minute routine, I'll be name dropping a couple of great brands and products that you should definitely check out if this winter has your skin feeling extra dry and looking extra sad. <br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVftwN9aWpi1sljWHx6kocJe1DkhLSbH50yYEz4kzwFjwnXG83t5YjcjfBB4_mOLyJP3plqQV7MbAyQ9Eh22rqdFTa-A_GtEvFV2518iXvEzFuST1aY6FZ1ASkNc4qbcH3XZiJjNbG48Q/s1600/DSC05991.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVftwN9aWpi1sljWHx6kocJe1DkhLSbH50yYEz4kzwFjwnXG83t5YjcjfBB4_mOLyJP3plqQV7MbAyQ9Eh22rqdFTa-A_GtEvFV2518iXvEzFuST1aY6FZ1ASkNc4qbcH3XZiJjNbG48Q/s640/DSC05991.jpg" width="640" /></a></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <b><u><a href="https://glossier.com/#!/products/milky-jelly-cleanser" target="_blank">Glossier Milky Jelly Cleanser</a></u></b></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> Great for makeup removal or an end of the night cleanse. Use on slightly damp face and work around in small circles to make sure you clear all the makeup and build-up out of your poor pores.

Fair warning, be prepared to look like a soggy version of the dude from Silence of the Lambs, but also know that this mask is giving you only the best of moisture.

The glow is real, believe in the glow. </div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjT7fOM8ltSI_OlCjqbUJ23YVMX_iCOQy0Yk7tvLfrlKv7Iyv9tPMbjWZSCuZNAomIfo0q0CX3NAGti_z-9FRG7-5uyIP-tJItnqFrnWvRVdGsk1CDi9Py1RpoFnos_khg_sO2w1J6ecU/s1600/DSC03776.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjT7fOM8ltSI_OlCjqbUJ23YVMX_iCOQy0Yk7tvLfrlKv7Iyv9tPMbjWZSCuZNAomIfo0q0CX3NAGti_z-9FRG7-5uyIP-tJItnqFrnWvRVdGsk1CDi9Py1RpoFnos_khg_sO2w1J6ecU/s640/DSC03776.jpg" width="640" /></a></div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc83abT_okv-bQl3oQzGd-3M0KDMu-sRaBTCYn_44yigb3c6E-tfl64QEU_pwxRFKwv0xbaYuef-_-l-FlZ8PsY8pISaVYyO0IGkcn37HQ4AEWi7mXflbymIuFfagzhAp6KuQHyvTXQsE/s1600/DSC03793.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc83abT_okv-bQl3oQzGd-3M0KDMu-sRaBTCYn_44yigb3c6E-tfl64QEU_pwxRFKwv0xbaYuef-_-l-FlZ8PsY8pISaVYyO0IGkcn37HQ4AEWi7mXflbymIuFfagzhAp6KuQHyvTXQsE/s640/DSC03793.jpg" width="640" /></a></div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOF2aSAo73X3yGb2LGhPKT2qFuXxW77Q0NtuftOk_4n9Gax8cp6XiI6MyrGvhayofLv5QtT0nSGs_UIfpwWfiFQoNz2qLgZDYJmRETUupzofVgq9DhPBMmrnppG4S5fjQJawiF1X9bbVU/s1600/DSC03803.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOF2aSAo73X3yGb2LGhPKT2qFuXxW77Q0NtuftOk_4n9Gax8cp6XiI6MyrGvhayofLv5QtT0nSGs_UIfpwWfiFQoNz2qLgZDYJmRETUupzofVgq9DhPBMmrnppG4S5fjQJawiF1X9bbVU/s640/DSC03803.jpg" width="640" /></a></div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div> <div style="text-align: left;"> At the end of the day, it's all about testing out which products will work best for your skin type and meet your personal needs.

But I do, and so I don't. For a long time, quality lippies have been a special treat I buy for myself occasionally. <i>Oh, your birthday is coming up? Treat yourself to that $21 matte lipstick you've been eyeing. </i>Now that's been all well and good, don't get me wrong. I have a nice little collection of lipsticks that I like to wear semi-regularly, and they're all great. But it's a nice <i>little </i>collection. As in, not a huge variety of colors.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.2px;">And experimenting with lip color is fun! It's like a little mini game of dress up - </span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.2px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">swipe on a new color, and your entire look is different. All I wanted was to find quality lipsticks that I could play around with without breaking the bank.

The colors are crazy pigmented, the formulas are super creamy (even that matte ones!), and the application is a breeze. And did I mention that a ton of their products, including all of their lippie stix, are vegan?

I ordered <a href="https://colourpop.com/product/lady/" target="_blank">Lady</a>, <a href="https://colourpop.com/product/button/" target="_blank">Button</a>, <a href="https://colourpop.com/product/lumiere/" target="_blank">Lumiere</a>, <a href="https://colourpop.com/product/lbb/" target="_blank">LBB</a>, and <a href="https://colourpop.com/product/dazed/" target="_blank">Dazed</a>,  all in order in the picture above. All of them are Colourpop's matte formula except for <i>Button</i>, which is a cream satin. I adore all five, but my two favorites are definitely Lumiere and Lady. Lumiere is the perfect dusty mauve, and Lady is a kill cool-toned burgundy. I like to wear it with bold brows, a swipe of mascara, literal tons of highlighter, and a black turtleneck (my go-to "I Could Kill a Man So Don't Test Me" look).<br /> <br /> All in all, my Colourpop experience was a great one, and I'll definitely be ordering from them again in the near future since I've already got my eye on a few more colors (<a href="https://colourpop.com/product/brink/" target="_blank">Brink</a>, <a href="https://colourpop.com/product/juice-bar/" target="_blank">Juice Bar</a>, and <a href="https://colourpop.com/product/bichette-2/" target="_blank">Bichette</a>).
