I just heard the news that Estee Lauder’s millennial-driven line, Edit, is coming to an end. If you’re like me, you’re probably like, “what line?” Yeah. And then I was like, “oh right, the line promoted by Kendall Jenner!” I remember receiving a press package when it first debuted but don’t recall being enamored with any of the products. You can read the full brand statement here.
I stumbled upon this tip sheet a while back, but basically Patrick Ta, makeup artist to Gigi Hadid and Oliva Munn, dishes on some pretty awesome makeup tips for keeping your look dewy, light and fresh. I highly recommend you bookmark this!
I took this fun little beauty quiz on BuzzFeed: Can you shop at Sephora without blowing your budget? I was able to stay under budget and spend $301, but I have an unfair advantage since I know some of these products very well.
If you are tuned into the blogging community, then you might be aware of the drama going down on the internet. Alina Gonzalez, former editorial director, is speaking her truth on her social channels about why she was fired from Cupcakes & Cashmere. I read GOMI often, but this news even got attention on Jezebel. I have SO much to say, starting with this: how Emily Schuman and her husband handled this situation with Alina was absolutely inappropriate and disrespectful. As business owners, they should know better. I am 100% hashtag team Alina. Many commenters on Jezebel and GOMI are jumping to conclusions/not understanding the issue behind this. I highly recommend you watch her full IG story to understand what happened.

Thank you for link about Alina’s story. I’ve followed C&C for years, but have been frustrated at Emily’s refusal to address the firing with her readers. We were all expected to draw our own conclusions. Sounds like Alina is better off, and I wish her all the best.
I absolutely agree! Thank you for reading.
I agree she should address it. You encouraged someone to take an interest in your contributor and then you 86’ed her. But I agree with the Jezebel commenter, it isn’t just about whether the work gets done. If your boss expects you to be in the office, than be in the damn office, or you’re going to get fired. Now, was the situation handled appropriately, I think not. But my boss expected us in the office 9-6, every day, even during recess, even when he wasn’t there, and as much as it sucked, it was the job we signed up for, so we did it. She has no right to say, “Yeah, we skipped out on our boss’s expectations, but we got the work done, so who cares if we broke the rules?” I think there is unprofessional behavior on both sides.
