WHAT SHOULD LAND IN YOUR SPRING MAKEUP BAG RIGHT NOW? LETS KICK IT OFF WITH CLARINS…

CLARINS
CLARINS PORE PERFECTING MATTIFYING KIT WITH BLOTTING PAPERS  ($48)
SHOP: Clarins Beauty Counters or ClarinsUSA.com

I’ve been telling makeup companies for years THIS has been one of the missing links!  Someone needs to combine blotting sheets into a makeup compact and no one would listen to me. And then this Spring, poof… Clarins figured it out. It’s so genius yet rooted in practicality and common sense at the same time. And trust me… no one else is packaging this, this way. It’s a compact meant for flawless skin in an instant!  Clarins portable, 2-step compact contains gentle blotting papers (refills available) that soak up excess oil without smudging makeup. And a lightweight, translucent powder—with plant extracts and matifying white clay— this helps blur the appearance of enlarged pores.  The double punch keeps skin looking fresh, matte and shine-free throughout the day. Normal to oily skin. Dermatologist tested, noncomedogenic.

Clarins spin doctored this throw back 80s office supply into an all-in-one make-up pen with 4 retractable makeup colors: 3 for eyes (Black, Brown, Indigo Blue) & 1 for lips (Natural Beige)!  So you can shape and define eyes and lips in a click.

THE BETTER SKIN CO.

NEW LAVA MAGIK ($58)4 oz., ($32) 2 oz., ($4) .25 fl oz. 
AMAZING OFFER: Save 25% Off, PLUS Spend $50 Or More = FREE Shipping   CHECKOUT CODE: ktla           SHOP: TheBetterSkinCo HERE!
SKIN TYPES: All, even some of the most sensitive can benefit as well.

Lava Magik is exploding this Spring (get it Lava, volcanic eruption, explodes LOL)!  I love beauty products that serve double or triple duty and this one is a 3-in-1. This all natural, orange scented potion is a daily cleanser, exfoliating scrub and revitalizing mask. Skin cleansing volcanic lava from France is the “secret sauce” and what anchors the ingredients. The lava purifies, disinfects and buffs away dull surface cells to reveal a softer more luminous complexion. It’s supported and enriched with nourishing calendula, sweet orange and grapeseed oils, cucumber, parsley, and chamomile for healthy more youthful looking skin.  It was created to support all skin types from dry to oil and even can help calm rosacea, psoriasis and eczema… 3 highly sensitive skin conditions. The way to alter and impact the texture/density is with good, old water.  Mixing it with less water makes it more “mask-like” and more water thins it out into a gentle cleanser.

HERE’S A FEW MAGIKAL TIPS:

  • Daily Cleanser: Use pea-sized amount mixed with water. Apply to skin.

  • Scrub: Twice weekly, apply to wet skin. Massage desired areas in circular motion for 30 to 60 seconds.

  • Mask: Once or twice weekly, leave on 5 to 10 minutes. For additional exfoliation, moisten finger tips and massage in a circular motion while removing. Adjust product to water ratio based on skin type. Slightly more product for combination skin or normal to oily skin and less product for dry, sensitive skin. Rinse thoroughly with water. Pat dry.

THE MAGIKAL BENEFITS:

  • Excellent anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, anti-viral, anti-yeast fighting skin cleanser

  • Buffs away dull surface cells creating a youthful glow

  • Retextures skin, leaving it soft, smooth and younger-looking

  • Rich in minerals, it helps diminish the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and acne scars

  • Absorbs excess skin oils

  • Assists in minimizing pores

  • Helps prevent acne outbreaks and minimize blemishes

  • Stimulates collagen production

  • Helps calm rosacea, psoriasis and eczema

CLINIQUE FRESH PRESSED 7 DAY SYSTEM WITH PURE VITAMIN C 10%, ($27)

SHOP: Clinique Counters and Clinique.com
SKIN TYPES: All

Recapture younger-looking skin with the power of fresh, potent Vitamin C using this 7-day, 2 step system containing:

  • 7 single-use packets of Renewing Powder Cleanser with Pure Vitamin C (mix powder w/a touch of water to activate)

  • One 7-day vial of Daily Booster with Pure Vitamin C 10% (release 2 drops and add into your moisturizer 2 x daily OR you can apply it directly to the skin if preferred.)

Screen Shot 2017-03-19 at 2.01.48 PM

WHAT IT’S FORMULATED TO DO:
This simple, two-step system contains pure Vitamin C at 10% =  one of the most powerful de-aging vitamins. From the first application, experience brighter, more radiant skin. With continued use, see transformative de-aging results: skin that’s noticeably firmer, more even-toned, smoother, with visibly diminished lines and wrinkles and a radiant, youthful glow. Immediately, skin is 36% brighter—and in just 1 week, see a more radiant, evened, smoothed and firmer complexion. In just 4 weeks age spots are visibly reduced by 21%, lines and wrinkles are visibly reduced by 32%. In just 12 weeks age spots are visibly reduced by 32%, lines and wrinkles are visibly reduced by 43%, and skin appears visibly lifted by 41%. Wow… does this brighten and up level your energy levels too?

WHAT ELSE YOU NEED TO KNOW:
Fresh means powerful. Pure Vitamin C naturally degrades when exposed to oxygen, so it’s most powerful when fresh. Clinique created it’s “Stay-fresh” packaging to isolate the pure Vitamin C until activation, maintaining its freshness and full power for maximum results over the 7 days you’re using it. It’s super user friendly:  after you cleanse with the powder/water combo… next just press the button to release the pure Vitamin C, shake to mix with the de-aging soothing emulsion, and it’s ready to deliver its rejuvenating power. Like a daily supplement, simply mix 2 drops with your favourite Clinique moisturizer to instantly brighten skin’s look, and in just 7 days see remarkably even-toned, retexturized skin. Fresh means power.

URBAN DECAY

NEW URBAN DECAY MELTDOWN MAKEUP REMOVERS ($15 & $26)

SHOP: Sephora/Sephora.com, Ulta Beauty/Ulta.com, select Macy’s stores/Macys.com, and UrbanDecay.com               LAUNCHES: THIS THURSDAY, 3/23

Can’t get enough of Urban Decay’s long-lasting makeup, but can never take it off? LOL #beautyproblems!!!  Normal face washing just can’t get UD eyeliner off, I kid you not. But the upside is… little to no touch ups while you’re wearing it. So Urban Decay mobilized here and is introducing three new formulas of makeup remover formulated to easily remove even the most stubborn waterproof makeup (yes, even the new Vice Liquid Lipstick and 24/7 Pencils!) These products are as powerful as they are gentle. Non-irritating, nourishing ingredients leave skin clean, refreshed and without a trace of makeup or greasy residue.

Screen Shot 2017-03-19 at 1.03.27 PM

  • Dissolving Spray ($26) – UD’s crazy powerful (yet gentle!) spray mists on weightlessly and starts working on contact to instantly dissolve makeup in one swipe – no rubbing or tugging on delicate skin. Just spray onto a cotton ball and wipe away makeup. The super-effective, anhydrous, filler-free formula contains only three ingredients, including conditioning vitamin E.

  • Cleansing Oil Stick ($26) – This three-phase, oil-based remover transforms from a balm to liquid oil to microfoam, gently dissolving makeup. Apply directly on dry skin and massage gently until product melts into a liquid form. Splash with water, massage a little more to lather, then rinse off. The stick format is portable and travel-friendly – no leaks, no risk of TSA confiscation. UD laced the luxurious oil formula with turmeric root extract, sunflower seed oil and vitamin E to leave skin feeling soft, clean and makeup-free

  • Lip Oil Stick ($15) – Take off one vice and get ready for the next. UD’s lightweight, silky stick glides on to remove the longest-lasting lip products. The oil-based formula helps break down waterproof lipstick easily but feels silky – never oily. To use, apply all over lips and wipe off. Repeat. Lips will be clean, moisturized and ready for another coat. The conditioning, wax-free formula contains nourishing ingredients, including vitamin E and ceramides to replenish lips. So moisturizing you can even use it as a balm.

TWEEZERMAN EXPERTWEEZE LIGHTED SLANT TWEEZER ($27)

SHOP: Tweezerman.com & Ulta.comScreen Shot 2017-03-19 at 1.33.20 PMFile this innovation under the heading “Why didn’t I think of this one?” Famous for their precision, Tweezerman’s new lighted version of their award winning Slant Tweezer features spot on illumination and perfectly aligned, hand-filed tips for expert brow shaping every time. The added convenience of an LED light helps spotlight and brighten your view for precise tweezing.  Features an easy on/off button to control light. Designed to be easy to hold for maximum comfort, stability and fingertip control.  What’s awesome and how this translates is now we don’t need to sit in our cars in bright sunlight and use our rear view mirror to tweeze  facial hair any longer (You do this too on occasion right? I’m not the only one?)
