Around the clock skin Protectant

Don’t let winter fool you, just beacuse you don’t see the sun, or feel the warmth that it brings, doesn’t mean it’s not there. UVA and UVB rays are still present and can be reflected off of snow and glass buildings, causing damage to your skin. Neutrogena Clear Face Liquid-Lotion Sunblock has a mild, lightweight, hypo-allergenic formula. It won’t cause breakouts, look oily under makeup, or clog your pores. So remember, keep your skin healthier, smoother, and younger by not reserving your sunscreen for summer fun, instead use it all year-round for maximum protection.

 

The Matte Finish

 

This season it seems that “glossy” isn’t the only way to be “glam!” A lot of fashonistas are straying away from the usual shine and taking on a Matte look! While Matte lips are most common, a lot of women are venturing into wearing Matte nail color.

Want to try the matte look? Follow these steps below:

1 Exfoliate your lips. Exfoliation of the lips gets rid of any dead peeling skin and leaves the lips soft and smooth. 

2. Moisturize your lips.  After exfoliation, put on a lip balm that will not dry your lips out. A light lotion may also work. (No vaseline or carmax!)

3. Prime your Lips. Take a lip pencil and outline your lips. Some people choose to color in their entire lip to achieve the Matte look. If that’s your preference, then, YOU’RE DONE!

4. Fill in your lips with your lip color. Use the same color lipstick as your lip pencil and apply to your lips entirely. Rubbing your lips together won’t help with smearing the lipstick; its up to you to make sure your entire lip is covered.

5. BE FAB!!

P.S – MARS, MAC Cosmetics and NYX HAVE GREAT MATTE LIP COLORS!

Beauty Artist Mario Dedivanovic also gives great tips on achieving the matte look! 

 

 

 

Brow Love!

How often do you go to your favorite spa and spend several minutes trying to decide on the perfect brow shape? I was born with super thick eye brows and have always had the hardest time taming them! Today, I read some great news on Elle.com. Not only have thick brows made a come back, but they are the must have for this holiday season. The ladies of Elle.com referenced Marilyn Monroe, Jennifer Lopez,  Kim Kardashian and Sophia Loren as great Hollywood “brow” references. Look Below for more beauty references.

Style Survey: Indique Boston

What is the ONE beauty item you cannot live without?!


Krista:

I believe I look better with a glow, so that’s why I can’t live without my NARS-Laguna Bronzer/Orgasm Blush Combo.  NARS’ bronzer looks great on any skin color and creates an illusion of a flawless tan without the work of a tanning bed.

Kristen:

Hands down my Makeup Forever HD Foundation, its’ honestly heaven it a bottle. I’m usually a die-hard MAC fan but I happen to be in Sephora and picked up this one since I had run out of my MAC one. It makes my face look completely airbrushed and it goes on superlight. You can say I’m slightly obsessed!

Christina:

I could not live without my mascara.  People are always commenting on my eyes and lashes so those are the features I like to play up the most. One swipe really makes a difference in my overall look. I use two that are very affordable and in my opinion ‘drugstore gems’. I like Rimmel’s Glam Eyes for everyday wear. It lengthens and separates nicely and gives you a “doe-eyed” effect. At night I’ll usually layer the Rimmel with a few quick swipes of the classic Maybelline Great Lash for some added drama. I find it adds some nice volume and the small brush makes it easier to reach spots that a bigger brush might miss.

Kristen:

“Kim Kardashian and Nicole Sherzinger because they stay ahead of the trends and are always looking camera ready even in casual clothing.”

Christina:

“Rachel Bilson and Kate Moss. I love them both for their versatility and their cool casual style sense. They’re both masters of street style, dressed down but always looking classic and pulled together.”

Beauty Must Have: Immuncologie VENOmax

 

 

 

Immuncologie VENOmax product line is a miracle in a bottle. The Treatment Creme is created with a plant peptide that resemles viper venom, reducing inflammation which over time, leads to wrinkles.

I saw this in person and it works! Once the moisturizer is applied, it “fills” the area where the wrinkles are, making them disappear. It may just be THE secret to being Forever Young.

This may be the ONLY time snake venom is good for you…
