I’ve been obsessed with beauty and style since my first swipe of lipstick. And reading American Vogue at age 12 didn’t help.

​

By day, I’m a technical writer in finance and tech; by night, a lifelong beauty enthusiast and content creator.

​​

I’ve been buying and testing products for decades, and love sharing what I learn with anyone who’ll listen. I’m also a licensed esthetician and makeup artist.

​​

I have a few beauty and style muses. Sofia Coppola. Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy. Phoebe Philo. CZ Guest. Tina Chow. Kate Moss. Emmanuelle Alt. Each has a distinct kind of "cool" that I really appreciate.

​

My favorite products? All lip products and bronzers.

 

I also love wearing black. And dogs. And summer. And making lip balms. And searching for the perfect Egyptian Musk.

​

Thank you for stopping by. Enjoy your stay.

​

🖤 Janine
