  • Post-Party Beauty Help

    Friday night (and the four hours of sleep we managed) has left us feeling a little haggard.  So, we checked in with one of our friends who never seems to age and always has a glow about her to see how we can try to undo, or at least mask, the ... more

  • De-Puffing Without Sonya Dakar

    The morning after a bottle of wine, a late night, a flight, or dinner at a sushi restaurant (so basically every single morning of our lives), our eyes and face are as puffy as the marshmallow man. Instead of resigning ourselves to an eternity of pu... more

  • DIY Face Masks

    Whether it's a Saturday night party that will be vividly documented on FaceBook, or a family gathering that will be vividly documented by Aunt Edna, we are never psyched to be immortalized on film with our skin looking less-than-lovely.  L... more

  • A Broke Girl's Tooth Fairy

  • Stealing a Page From 'Gorgeously Green' (Literally)

  • Secrets of a Stylist-to-the-Stars

    We have to admit that the one thing we rarely cut costs on (ha ha) is our hair.  Mostly, this is due to our complete and utter inability to DIY our own ‘do’s, but it’s also because we fell in love with stylist Christine Symon... more

  • Beach Beauty Survival Kit from Celeb Stylist Sarah Uslan

    Everyone wants to look hot at the beach, but wearing a pound of makeup with your bikini is just not a good look.   Heavy makeup will smudge, smear, or wash off in about five minutes, and the thick-eyeliner-and-dramatic-lipstick look may work a... more

  • Exclusive BGG Deal: The Braid Bar

    When left to our own devices, the most impressive thing we can do with our hair is to keep it looking brushed.  Accordingly, our hair is the one thing we do not DIY but rather outsource, particularly when special events are involved (and by sp... more

  • Fall Hair Makeover Tips from a Pro

  • Party-Ready Hair in 5 Minutes

  • Best of the Broke: May

    We had a lot to look forward to in May, and we gotta say, this month really delivered.  We appeared on Glamour's website, our Kentucky Derby party was a hit, and we apparently survived both an earthquake and a wayward mountain lion. But wh... more
