WELCOME TO THETHE EDITOR’S EDIT
Where real, proven beauty wisdom meets a sensible approach to self care. Think of this as your insider’s guide to the beauty industry—and the latest products that are actually worth purchasing. At The Editor's Edit, I hope to foster an open, elevated dialogue with a contributing beauty editor at W magazine. This isn't about the fleeting allure of some sexy packaging. We're unearthing beauty gems that will transform you from the inside out, and will resonate among those with discerning tastes.
I aim to cover the beauty world with (at times brutal, but necessary) honesty and thoughtfulness, sharing only the most effective, science-backed finds amid a dizzying, saturated market filled with products and brands. The Editor's Edit is a celebration of beauty as an art form, curated for consumers who appreciate quality products—from the award-winning classics to cutting-edge newcomers.
Beyond the realm of potions and lotions, I weave into The Editor's Edit snippets from my own life in L.A.: a tapestry of fashion, travels, and moments as a mom, wife and writer, all shared from the heart of the city. Consider this a glimpse into a world where everyday luxuries are savored, and beauty is an expression of our most creative selves.
With Love and Gratitude,
A Compelling Case For The $640 Face Cream
It is outrageous how many skincare products promise to deliver the sun, the stars, and the moon to your complexion—when in reality, they are merely resting on their laurels: name brand, celebrity ambassadors, etc., with no high-quality actives or knowledge of which ingredients actually work in skincare.
The Must-Have Beauty Tool You Need
As a beauty editor, I often receive questions about waxing or hair depilatory creams, which frustrates me. Not at the asker, but because more people don't incorporate a high-quality laser hair removal tool, such as my absolute favorite the Ulike Hair Removal device into their routine.
The Ultimate Face Primer
Let me just say that the highly prized Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré Moisturizing Face Primer is worth its weight in gold. It is that the most perfect makeup primer and it is flawless in hydration while keeping your makeup lasting well into the night.
The Best Beauty Balm For Your Skin
Facing extreme weather, I trust a moisturizing balm with Blue Tansy to soothe and repair my skin. Whether it's harsh winters or scorching summers, it melts into my skin, providing deep nourishment without heaviness. A true skin savior, it keeps my complexion calm and hydrated through all seasons.
The Dream Cream
The neck is one of the first places on the body to show signs of aging. Why? Because our skin is thinner in this area, there is less muscle support, collagen, and fat—and frankly, more than in decades past, we are constantly glancing up and down at our phones.
