About

Hi! My name is Alyssa Kolsky Hertzig and I’m a magazine beauty editor in New York City. I spend my days learning about beauty products, testing beauty products, writing about beauty products… Luckily, um, I really love beauty products! (I’m also obsessed with shoes, bags, jewelry, and cream cheese frosting—but you’ll learn this in time, I’m sure.) I hope that The Sparkly Life gives you a little glimpse into my world—what I wear, what products I love, what products some favorite beauty-industry people love, cool tips and tricks I’ve picked up over the years, and more. Sooo, are you ready to sparkle?
