Compacts & Vignettes--What It's All About
Welcome, ladies! It’s a pleasure to have you here, and I hope all of the great finds in Compacts and Vignettes will keep you coming back again and again! But before we get started, I have a confession: I am a beauty girl! No, really. I mean, I love fashion, I love style, I love interior design; but I liiive for all things beauty. And quite frankly, isn’t beauty found in all of the above?
I’d happily (well, maybe not “happily”) forgo purchasing the season’s It-bag or shoe for a fabulous perfume or face cream that makes me feel ten years younger. I have held my standing hair appointment at Styles New York Salon for almost a decade, and I indulge in weekly manicures and bi-weekly pedicures whether it’s gladiator sandal or platform knee boot season. And while I’m a little embarrassed to admit it, I rarely (except to walk my insanely cute and equally hyper Jack Russell Terrier, Abdul, at 6:30 AM) leave my Jersey loft without concealer, blush, tinted lip balm, and mascara. A little high-maintenance by some standards? Perhaps.
But here’s the thing, whether you’re a beauty buff who can’t get enough or a woman who just appreciates the new Olay moisturizer or L’Oreal lip color, you deserve to feel beautiful at all times. That’s what Compacts & Vignettes is all about—delivering the best beauty options for you, and showing you that you don’t necessarily have to spend a fortune to look and feel like a million bucks. It’s all in the selection, and I’m here to help sort through the choices. Beauty products, treatments, trends, tips, news, discounts, exclusives—you can expect to find it all here in Compacts & Vignettes!
So, what’s your beauty must-have? Share your thoughts by leaving a comment here and we'll talk soon!

Hi, Tai! Website: very cute! I hope you realize you're living the dream...well, my dream at least! :) But, in response to your question, my beauty must-haves include: a Lip Smackers/Carmex lip balm, Neutrogena cleanser & moisturizer, OPI Coney Island Cotton Candy polish (it's great), and clear mascara!And since I'm in school, a hoodie covers a whole lot of hair if it's not looking as "beauty-full" as I'd like it to be! Can't wait for more from your site!

Found your website quite interesting and enjoyed the upbeat lingo of looking lovely. I too am fond of beautiful things and like to have heads up on what's up.
Will stay tune for your website and more beauty tips.
My beauty must-have is mascara.. Mary Kay ultimate performance mascara is just great. It gives me the long lashes I love. Try it - you'll like it.
Congrats on the new blog!
You ARE Fab.... and I totally understand the weekly nail/ standing hair appointment. Gotta keep things tight..
P.S. iVillage you've got yourself a star!
Hi, Your article is great. I'm a 34 year old professional woman. I don't have much time to keep up with fashion and beauty. Thank you for the weekly blogs. I'm sure it helps a lot of other women out there stay updated on what's hot and what's not. Thank you. Keep up the great work and I look forward to reading more of your beauty-ful tips.
