About Us
BeautyNewsNYC is the first online beauty magazine. Founded in 2003 by esteemed designer Kimberly McDonald, our loyal readership has proliferated ever since. We offer the swoon-worthy in beauty, lifestyle, fashion, and entertainment, both in NYC and around the world. Our mission: uncover intriguing products, places, and services, put them through their paces, and arm our readers with unbiased, genuine reviews from a group of writers whose tastes and experiences are as varied as those they serve.
Helmed by co-EICs/Publishers Candice Sabatini and B. Kim Taylor since 2011, BeautyNewsNYC reaches professional women — and we reach this cultured, savvy and sophisticated group through multiple channels: our website, our subscription-based mailings, and various social media platforms. Our staff of professional writers and editors seek and curate the beautiful, the helpful, the impactful, and the interesting. While we do receive product samples from companies and publicists, we’re never influenced by those samples, advertising, or sponsored ads. In other words: we don’t review products unless we love them.
Also: Journalist, publicist, blogger, traveler, serial long distance relationshipper, coconut water drinker, movie buff, believer that you can mix Gap with Balenciaga, yard sale traipser, real estate follower who needs a second bathroom to house my beauty products. Ive attended 2000 concerts in my life. 17 years of bylines in rock and lifestyle mags. Blogging happily at PopCrush + more.
