Confession: I am a beauty and skincare junkie. I love trying new products. I never say no to a free sample or free gift with purchase. Free samples are especially clutch when you travel as much as I do. Here are five recent products – serums, moisturizers and primers – that I have tried out from Estée Lauder, Dr. Dennis Gross and Caudalie. What would I re-purchase and recommend? What didn’t make the cut? Read on!

Jewelry: BCBGeneration Make Your Own (MYO) Hashtag Bracelet

IMG_5388My new bracelet is the height of social media geek chic – a make your own hashtag bracelet from BCBGeneration! Purchased on sale from Nordstrom for about $10, the bracelet comes with the entire alphabet and a few special characters, such as the heart pictured. I decided to keep mine simple with my name and love how it pairs perfectly with my favorite dual-faced Urban Outfitters watch.

In addition to the make your own option, I also purchase a grey and rose gold #chic bracelet. Although some of the unbelievable deals from Nordstrom have come and gone, click here to get the bracelet from Zappos for $25. Macy’s has a fun tan and gold #swag bracelet for $12. I’m #tempted to snag it for myself!
