I was so honored when Refinery 29 asked me to take part in their feature, Real Girl, Real Beauty. I’m such a huge fan of the site and all of the editors: Christene, Megan, Annie and Kristian, to name a few. To have the opportunity to show some of my favorite fashion and beauty looks… and then talk about beauty for an entire day is like a dream come true… Heavenly!

Sarah,
Beautiful! Love the behind the scenes shots of you and your home. You looked beautiful! Quick question, on the slideshow on Refinery 29 website, could you list the brushes in the clear cup/jar. I like the big one in the front with silver handle. It looked like a synthetic brush. It would be great for blending. I was staring at it trying to figure the out the brand. Please post your go to face brushes.
Thanks,
Nau
