THE 60 SECOND BEAUTY BOOST

If right now, you’d love 5 easy tricks to boost your appearance in under 60 seconds when you’re on-the-go… I think I have just what you’re on the hunt for. I’ll go as far to say that some of these beauty secrets will make even Wonder Woman, herself, want to know what’s inside your makeup bag!

PUCKER UP! YOU NOW HAVE 7 UNIVERSAL SHADES TO CHOOSE FROM…

MAKEUP: MAYBELLINE NEW YORK MADE FOR ALL BY COLOR SENSATIONAL

PRICE: $7.49

SHOP: Online & Mass Market Retailers Nationwide

Maybelline’s Made For All By Color Sensational is a NEW, innovative line of 7 universal lipsticks specifically made to complement every complexion! Yep, I mean every single skin tone variation under the sun. So finally, we can buy lipstick with confidence and without fear of wasting money on the wrong shade. I had to test this out myself. I wrote the brand and asked if they could ship me all 7 and they obliged! The “411” is through extensive research, Maybelline New York tested these 7 shades on 50 women of diverse skin tones (fair, medium, deep, and every where in between). They wouldn’t release the collection to the public until they could ensure each shade looks sensational on everyone. The collection is made up of 6 Satin Finish and 1 Matte all infused with honey nectar for a comfortable feel that delivers full coverage. And to drive this point even further home, Maybelline applied the matte red called “Red For Me” on ALL the runway models at the Cushnie Spring/Summer 2019 fashion show. And no matter what the model’s skin tone, the photos don’t lie… everyone looked spot on, coming down the catwalk. Amazing right?

TIP: Buy a few of them OR all seven, land them in their own little makeup bag and bring them with you to change up your look subtly or dramatically. With 7 shades, skies the limit.

ADIOS GRAY HAIR, BYE FELICIA!

D.I.Y. HAIR: FROM GRAY TO GORGEOUS

NEED: 1 Eyeshadow Palette with some shades that can blend subtly into your hair line

HOW TO? IF you have no time for a trip to the hair salon to fade grays into oblivion, try this beauty hack. Take an eye shadow brush, start loading it with a shade that compliments your hair color and brush it into you your hairline and sideburns… anywhere the gray is popping up. It will hold for the day and your monthly hair woe remains our little secret.

TRESSES GO FROM FLAT TO FIERCE!

HAIR: ALOXXI BOMBSHELL VOLUME GRIP & HOLD SPRAY

PRICE: Full Size $22, Mini $10

SHOP: Aloxxi.com

Experience effortlessly chic volume, literally in seconds, with this show-stopping spray that instantly creates volume that lasts all day. I’m obsessed with Aloxxi’s new styling aid which offers smooth fullness, body, texture and shine while giving you a flexible to medium hold. And it’s a lifesaver if you use hot tools because it shields hair from heat stylers up to 450 ̊F. For outdoor enthusiasts, it protects hair color from fading by helping to block damaging UV rays. It comes in 2 sizes, but I’m toting the mini one around since it’s perfect for touch up’s post my workouts or great for you when heading from work to your kid’s soccer game and you just want a fast boost. It’s kinda like the equivalent of packing a pro hair stylist in your purse.

THE 4 MAGIC INGREDIENTS INSIDE A BOTTLE ARE…

QUARTZ DUST Provides balanced texture and shine (If something promotes having some form of gem stones in it = automatic purchase! Same idea as a man with an Australian accent = automatic hot!)
INVISIBLE TAPIOCA STARCH Helps plump strands & creates thicker looking hair
APPLE STEM CELL TECHNOLOGY Rich in protein, it strengthens hair during the critical growth phase
COLOUR CARE COMPLEX This protects color from UV damage with a blend of 10 Antioxidants including Grape Seed and Pomegranate

SKINCARE: CROON

Been on-the-go all day, and your face feels weighed down by makeup, dirt and sweat? No problem meet: Croon! Croon’s all about having a fresh, clean, glowing complexion whether you’re at home or out and about. Get This: these reusable cleansing and exfoliating pads help bring back your natural radiance through – ONLY – its microfibers and water (NO chemicals, NO other products needed!). That’s the “catch!” You DON’T need to use face wash/cleanser when you Croon. I know, shocking right? Since neither of us, can recall a time when we haven’t used a foaming or creamy based cleanser to get pollutants off our skin. You can run into the bathroom at work, the gym or heck even the park and in seconds you’ll have clean glowing, skin. It’s this easy. These cleansing and exfoliating pads mechanically (vs. chemically!) work to remove make-up, oils, and sebum hidden deep inside your pores. All fibers are machine washable and last up to 200 washes (about 2 years) and one pad replaces 400 makeup wipes that take up to 100 years each to decompose. Plus more added value: Croon wants us to send back the pads to them after each one’s useful life (the 200 washes) expires so they can upcycle them. It’s no wonder Croon had a 7000+ wait list of Americans, last November, all eager to purchase them after the buzz spread from Korea. It’s been tested and approved by skincare specialists and has received the Dermatest 5-star guarantee rating certification. Not too shabby!

THE BEAUTY PRODUCT WITH SUPER HUMAN POWERS!

EYE MAKEUP: IT’S LIP BALM

NEED: 1 Lip Balm in your purse. Try for one that’s goes on clear and isn’t tinted & grab 1 packet of Kool Aid.

D.I.Y. HACK: Lip balm is truly the “bomb.com” Why? Well, you can use it to power up faded, tired eyeliner and eyeshadow in seconds. With either… You simply blend a sliver of lip balm into the faded eyeline or shadow to move the pigment around, smooth it out and create a smoky eye effect. You can also mix lip balm with a little bit of Kool Aid for a fast, easy cheek tint!
