Crush of the Month is a column featuring my latest, greatest, cutest crush on a some hot babe in the beauty industry. This isn’t just about looks though; these babes are extremely talented as well.

I remember the first time I saw Darais. It was circa 2007 and I awake stupid early (8am) working a trend show at a local Nordstrom. The store had yet to let people in, so I was doing my usual artist-scoping when I saw one of the hottest guys I had ever seen in my life over at the Lancôme counter. He had an edgier, more rock n’ roll look than I’m used to seeing at Lancôme; tattoos, face scruff, bedhead and I think he might have even been wearing leather pants. I’m not even gonna lie: I was straight. up. staring.
