NYC New York Color Andy Warhol Inspired Look: #NYCBeautyPro May Challenge

Disclaimer: Product featured was provided for review.

For May, New York Color challenged us to get inspired by the iconic pop artist Andy Warhol and create a colorful and fun look for summer.

Calvin Klein CK One Summer 2014 Eau de Toilette Spray: Review

Disclaimer: Product featured was provided for review.

Back in 2008, when I was about 15 or 16 years old, I was a big fan of Lindsay Lohan (Mean Girls was my favorite film back then, okay). And in a summer edition of Flare fashion magazine, there was a "what's in my beach bag" editorial featuring Lindsay Lohan. In her beach bag, amongst the designer-brand sunglasses and the $600 silky summer scarf, was a beautiful bottle of CK One Summer by Calvin Klein. I was immediately enamored with the clean and simple design of the bottle and the fact that it was touted as a refreshing citrus summer scent. And so I bought my first designer brand perfume, CK One Summer.

Interesting, Calvin Klein releases a CK One Summer ($68 for 100ml) every year and each year the packaging and the scent are slightly different. Today I will be reviewing the 2014 edition. To read more, click.......
