Buffalo Exchange has moved to 2901 S. Shepherd Drive, located just minutes from its former Westheimer location that has housed hundreds of designer brands over the years. Nothing says happiness when stepping into a resale store like finding a vintage Neiman Marcus dress for $20. Can you say win?!

NARS welcomes highlighting palette Banc de Sable to the family, thereby upping the highlighting game. Banc de Sable features three flattering highlighters for eyes and cheeks that work with the skin’s surface to create the ultimate glow. If you are not aware, highlighting is a major obsession in the beauty and fashion industry. I honestly can’t remember the last time I stepped out of the house without a bronzer or highlight for a little extra twinkle. Make up and healthy skin are essentials for any outfit. This highlighting must-have can be purchased at Sephora stores or at Sephora.com for $49 for a limited time.
