Hi, I’m Les.
I spent 13 years in the prestige beauty industry and the last 5 in the beauty space on Instagram, which is a polite way of saying I’ve touched, tested and had strong opinions about a lot of products. That’s where I learned the difference between a trend and a formula that actually does something. Beauty and skincare have been my thing for as long as I can remember, but helping you find what works for you is the part I love most. No hype, no gatekeeping, no telling you to fix something that was never broken.
Outside of my vanity, you’ll find me in the water or near it – lake life, swimming, a road trip, John Mayer on repeat, chasing a rainbow, adding to my crystal collection and sunset gazing all make me happy. I was born and raised in New England (UCONN grad – go Huskies!) and am currently splitting my time between CT + CA. I love to share all of my new favorite restaurants, hiking spots, scenic drives + destinations worth exploring.
So consider this your standing invitation: honest reviews, what’s actually on my shelf and the occasional life update + road trip recommendation with a good sunset.
I’m glad you’re here.
xo, Les
