My Thoughts on BeautyConNYC

Last week, I was chosen by @BrandingMuse on Instagram to attend BeautyConNYC.  BeautyCon is a "fashion and beauty summit for the internet's most influential and everyone who's obsessed with them!" (http://www.beautycon.com/about/).  This year, it was held at at Pier 36, which is way downtown.  It seemed like fun at first, but I wasn't impressed.

In the Style Seat with #StyledByReece

Spotlight Monday: Flose

Tell us about yourself.

> My name is Flose, and I am a recent Syracuse University graduate, where I double-majored in sociology and public relations.  I currently reside in Rockland County, New York, but I was born on the beautiful island of Hispaniola.  Poetry is my life and the answer to all my woes; I aim to share her with all who are willing to listen.  If there's one thing I want the world to know about me, it's that I'm a lover of humanity, and I am continuously looking for ways to help us all advance as a people.

My Daily Skincare Regimen for Combination Oily Skin Types (UPDATED)

If you haven't heard: flawless makeup starts with GREAT skin!  I can't tell you all how many times I've been standing at a makeup counter, waiting for help, and heard how gorgeous and smooth my skin was, which honestly came as a shocker to me.  I didn't think I had great skin-- due to an occasional dark spot or breakout, keyword being occasional-- but from everyone else, I clearly had some damn good skin.  I pride myself in taking care of me-- my hair and skin included.

MY Preference Between Aussie Moist & Hello Hydration Conditioners

In all honesty, this was not a PJ moment; I was in desperate need to find a new detangling conditioner.  I had been using the Tresemme Naturals conditioner, but I noticed that it was no longer working for me.  My detangling sessions took longer than usual and my hair felt dry after using it.  I honestly think my hair had gotten used to it.
