Giveaway | EcoTools Complexion Collection

I'm excited to announce for the next several months, I'm collaboration with EcoTool to share their collections of cosmetic accessories and bath and body products. All products are renewable, animal cruelty-free and made from recyclable materials. What's so great about the collection I'm featuring today, each brush sold from the new Complexion Collection®, EcoTools will donate $1 to Global Green USA

Global Green USA is a national non-profit organization dedicated to advancing smart solutions to climate change and building a sustainable future, a cause I’m very passionate about.

As most of you know, April is Earth Month. Throughout the month, EcoTools has been sharing tips via social media on how to go green. You can also share your own tips to help inspire others using hashtag #EcoInspire. For my household, taking public transportation and unsubscribing to snail mail are a few of the things we do to contribute to going green.

BEAUTY_8

The Complexion Collection contains of 4 brushes; Skin Perfecting Brush, Eye Perfecting BrushMattifying Finish Brush and the Correcting Concealer Brush. They're currently running a bundle promotion for 15% off the retail value of $29.

I've been using the Mattifying Finish Brush and the Correcting Concealer Brush on a daily basis. For someone like myself, who works in the corporate world, I don't have the time in the morning for a full face routine.  However, these are great brushes to have in your collection when you want to apply full coverage for a night out with friends.

Above: I'm starting out by using Makeup Forever foundation. I'm using the Skin Perfecting Brush to evenly distribute on my face.
BEAUTY_4
Above: I'm using the Correcting Concealer Brush to apply my favorite cover up from Bobbi Brown.
BEAUTY_3
Above: I'm using the Correcting Concealer Brush to cover any blemishes on my face. I tend to get more blemishes in the summer, this is a great tool to use to minimize using your hands to coverup spots.
BEAUTY_2
Above: The Eye Perfecting Brush is a great way to coverup my dark circles around my eyes. I use MAC concealer for full coverage under my eyes.
BEAUTY_6
Above:  I'm applying MAC mineralize skinfinish using the Mattifying Finish Brush
BEAUTY_5
Above: The Mattifying Finish Brush is one of the brushes I use daily. The brush is lightweight and not harsh on my skin. Previously, I was using a finishing brush that irritated my skin.
BEAUTY_1
Above: The final result! The brushes give me the ability to have an even skin tone and full coverage. After these steps, I'd contour and add additional makeup for a complete look.

To kickoff this collaboration with EcoTools, we're giving away a Complexion Collection bundle. To enter for a chance to win, please comment below on how you're contributing to going green. The giveaway starts on Wednesday, April 29th at 6pm EST till Friday, May 1st at 6pm EST.

For those who follow me on Instagram, you might have seen that Batman has pneumonia. He’s currently in the ICU and being treated by an excellent team of doctors. We’re so happy to report that he’ll be coming home tonight! It was a long weekend, but we’re so blessed that he’s on the road to recovery. Matt and I spent some time cleaning the apartment preparing it for our little bear to come home with his parents.

As tough as it is to even think about fashion, work or anything other than my precious Batman, I want to share an appropriate work outfit as we move into warmer months. This black and white stripe dress has been a great additional to my professional wardrobe. The dress also makes a great piece for formal occasions. The pop of red lipstick and heels is a touch of my own personal style, but this dress would look great with nude or black pumps.

See everyone on Wednesday!

This season, fringe is one of the most loved trends; from backpacks to leather jacket. As much as I'd love to own a leather fringe jacket, for my style it's unlikely I'd wear it often this season. These grey suede heels from Schutz are a great way for me to incorporate the trend in my closet, while complimenting my wardrobe. The Kija heels are part of the Schutz Shoe's Spring and Summer collection. They come in a few other colors. Check them out here.

Several people have asked about the bag I'm wearing. It's from Zara. The bag is great for the office or after hours. It has good structure and lots of room inside the bag. Only downside, there's a front clasp and it sometimes gets stuck. Other than that, I love the bag. It's a good replacement for a nude bag during the spring and summer.

Over the weekend I tried FlyWheel for the first time and I loved it! I use to take spin classes when I lived in California, but it's been a while. So I was a little rusty...and slow. It's been a real struggle to get back to the gym, so signing up for group classes has helped me get back on track. Ever since I started working back in an office, not to mention an office with an abundance of snacks and food, I've found myself snacking more often than usual. Tomorrow I'm reaching for the carrots, not the chips!

A few weeks go I picked up this faux suede skirt from H&M. I kept seeing the skirt in the display window and finally decided to drop in and try it on. The skirt is lightweight, therefore making it a good piece for warmer days. This skirt would look great with nude sandals, crop top and fringe bag, especially with all the summer concerts in NYC. Since the days are still warming up in NYC, I opted for tall boots and a denim shirt.

Hope everyone is enjoying the weekend! Yesterday, we rode bikes around the city. Riding along the Westside highway, then making a pit stop at Boat Basin to have a bite to eat and a few cocktails. We then headed to Central Park for Batman to stretch his little legs. If you follow me on Snapchat (CorporatCatwalk) you probably saw we bought a bike trailer for Batman. During the spring and summer, we spend most of our time outside, so it's nice to bring along our little puppy!

Since spring has finally arrived in NYC, I'm slowly starting to transition my wardrobe from black trousers to pencil skirts. Today's outfit shows one of my favorite pencil skirts from J.Crew. It can be worn with bright colors, like the one I'm wearing above, or it can also be worn with a basic white shirt to the office. Either way you wear this skirt, you'll always look professional at the office. I find it most flattering for my body type to pair pencil skirts with a basic nude pump. The nude pump elongates my legs. For those ladies who work in the office, if you haven't invested in a basic nude heel, trying adding it to your closet this season. You'll find more that nude heels provides more versatility to your wardrobe.
