If I had to describe Trust Fund Beauty, I could easily do so in one word…FIERCE!We LOVE Trust Fund Beauty because they keep it real! Attitude all the way, Trust Fund Beauty isn’t afraid of a little vulgar language and humor. We find it empowering that they don’t use cookie cutter terminology when it comes to describing their brand. Self proclaimed "... an “indie” brand with an edge and a purpose… to bring out the inner rich bitch in everyone no matter what your financial situation is.” We LOVE these gals!

Lusting for Lashes…

When the opportunity arose to get eyelash extensions, I jumped and I jumped FAST. For as long as I can remember I have suffered from some serious eyelash envy. From the fluttering lashes of the Kardashian clan splattered across the tabloids…to girls batting and brunching throughout NYC – I couldn't help but yearn for longer, fuller, darker and sexier lashes. I’m naturally blonde so even though Suzette, the amazing Xtreme lash certified stylist and owner of The Lash House Beauty Boutique, insisted that I had long lashes, she did note just how blonde they really were. My fair tipped lashes made going completely make-up free near impossible…but Suzette and The Lash House were about to change all that.
