Nice to Meet You

Dara Adeeyo, Dark Berry Beauty

Where you live: New Jersey

Job/profession: Web Assistant, Cosmopolitan.com

The beauty product you couldn't live without: Body lotion — my favorites are Cetaphil and Eucerin.

Your favorite item in your closet: My black turtleneck. It can make an outfit sexy or classy, but is always chic.

Your personal style in one sentence: Simple because I am often lazy, and like anything that will get me out the door looking cute in a jiffy.  

Your ultimate tip: Try anything once because you never know what can come out of a style or beauty risk. I took a risk with chopping off all my hair a year ago and I never thought that I would look good with a pixie cut, nor did I think my hair would grow back thicker and healthier. Best decision ever!

The fashion or beauty item currently atop your wish list: The InStyler, which I think would be a great addition to my morning routine.
