25 Halloween Costumes w/Your LBD

The easiest way to create a last-minute or inexpensive Halloween costume is to start with things you already have. I do it every year, because I get so frustrated with how expensive yet poorly-made most Halloween costumes are. I'd rather use what is already in my closet, or spend a little extra on accessories or a new dress that I can wear anytime of the year. A little black dress is the easiest way to use what you have to create a Halloween costume with a few inexpensive accessories and other accessories you probably already have in your closet.Pictured Above: Halloween Black Mesh Dress


1. Black Cat - This is the easiest way to use your little black dress on Halloween. I know it's pretty much the most generic costume in history, but for good reason - it's just so easy and affordable. It's the perfect last-minute costume for women, because you could really use any black outfit even if you don't have a little black dress. Pair it with your black flats or heels and a…

My Favorite Beauty Products for Summer Travel


I recently went through an airport security line, and despite my best efforts, had to have my cosmetic bags independently screened. Though I did manage to fit every bath and beauty product in my carry-on purse. There are several beauty products I never travel without in addition to some new ones I've been excited to try this summer. Most of them are for the sake of saving space, while others like my new e.l.f. travel makeup kit (pictured top left) are for special events in which I need a lot of makeup options in a small case.

For keeping my skin healthy on the go, I couldn't do without my exfoliating cleansing brush. I typically have to use a medicated facial scrub to ward off breakouts, but the Clarisonic is great for cleansing no matter which cleanser I happen to have on hand while traveling. It's also great for exfoliating, so if I need to skip my fancy retinol cream for a week, it's no big deal. At home I typically don't use makeup remover; I like to use my gentle soap, but when traveling (especially in heat and humidity), I love to have disposable makeup remover cloths on hand. My motto when traveling, and in life really, is you never know!

As far as makeup goes while traveling, I always take a bronzer compact. Before I go on vacation, I have visions of leisurely applying makeup in front of my hotel mirror after a luxurious bath, but in reality I'm usually thinking ah screw it! I just want to swipe on some color and get out the door to have some fun. With bronzer, I just swipe some onto a blush brush and apply it to my cheeks and eyelids in a matter of seconds.
