GOODY is Great!

imageimage-1

I was so happy when I got some of the Goody Quikstyle Collection brushes. I pretty much shower right before going out in the morning, and most of the time I never have time to blow dry my hair and end up going out with a wet head, but not anymore!!! The Goody Quikstyle Paddle brush and Detangling Comb make it so easy to dry my hair a lot faster. I only have to let my hair air dry for a few minutes and can avoid using the hair dryer that damages my hair! I use the paddle brush right when I get out of the shower to immediately get the majority of the water out. It works like a towel and brush in one to remove 30% of the water! The microfiber bristles do all of the work by absorbing the water. On top of that it is not rough, and comes in an assortment of bristle tips. This can be found at Target, Walmart, CVS, and Walgreens for around $12 !

The Detangling Comb is also very useful by removing 20% of the water! My hair sometimes gets tangled when I am in the pool, so I use this when I get out. It is uniquely designed with two rows of offset teeth that detangle the hair while the blades push out the excess water. The end of the comb is even conveniently shaped like a hook to hang in the shower! This can be found at Target, Walmart, CVS, and Walgreens for $6 ! I would definitely recommend this brush and comb if you don’t like blow drying or never have time to blow dry before you go out!!

The Best Over 40 Makeup

As we get older, it’s important to keep in mind that our makeup routine should be consonant with celebrating our natural beauty.  Understanding what products work best for our skin may take some trial and error. It is great to experiment with makeup so that we eventually find a routine we have complete mastery over.

To begin with, it is extremely important to start with a good lightweight foundation. When making a selection, look for one that is not too thick because a thick base can emphasize lines. I recommend a tinted moisturizer like NARS Pure Radiant. This moisturizer is great because it also contains an SPF while simultaneously providing a nice coverage.  For those areas that need more coverage use a spot concealer. KEVYN AUCOIN makes a great tried and trusted concealer that is typically a staple in the bags of professional makeup artists. His concealer comes in a small round container and lasts a long time because you only need to use a dab. Apply with a make-up sponge or a Q-tip and spread evenly to create a natural daytime look.  To complete your daytime look, apply a layer of lip gloss that contains a subtle sheen and just one coat of mascara.

NARS PURE RADIANT

NARS PURE RADIANT

At night it is generally more appropriate go heavier on the makeup. Foundations with thicker bases work well underneath night lighting because unlike natural sunlight, indoor lighting creates contours and shades that flatter your facial contours. I recommend ESTÉE LAUDER double wear stay in place makeup for total coverage. If you want to dress up and go for a more glamorous look, use a black liner to draw along your eyelash and embellish with shades of brown or charcoal shadow to create a more defined look.  The dramatic eye draws attention to that area of your face (and as we all know, the eyes are the windows to our soul!). It is usually best to wear a strong eye with a lighter lip color and vice-versa. When creating a stronger eye, opt for shades of lipstick that contain more pearly or pinkish undertones. Sweep a thin layer of powder to hold all your makeup in place and you’re all set to go!

Get a Natural Glow with Jergens

 

 

450

Would you like a nice glowing tan without the cost associated with self tanning products and without the damage from the sun year round? Jergens Natural Glow is a daily moisturizer sunscreen that helps prevent sunburn while gradually developing color on your skin when applied once daily. Jergens has a pleasant perfume scent as opposed to the smell of sunscreen.

15 minutes before going into the sun I apply Jergens natural Glow to my skin, it is also very moisturizing so your skin will always feel soft. Jergens Natural Glow offers you two color choices, one for Fair to Medium skin tones and one for Medium to Tan skin tones. Jergens has an SPF 20 and also contains antioxidants and vitamin E helping to maintain your skin healthy. Remember, with Jergens Natural Glow you get a sunscreen, moisturizer and a tan all in one, that’s amazing!  You can find Jergens Natural Glow at www.jergens.com and in most retail and drug stores nationwide.

Glow Tips from The Experts at Jergens

  • For the most natural-looking color, be sure to exfoliate before first use.
  • Use sparingly on dry areas like knuckles, knees, ankles and in between fingers/toes.
  • Choose the right shade based on your natural skin tone or your starting point.
  • Smooth on evenly and thoroughly just as you would with any moisturizer.
  • Use daily until you have achieved the desired level of color, then reapply 1-2/week.

Rimmel London Scandalized

Rimmel London Scandaleyes Mascara

Rimmel London Scandaleyes Mascara

When it comes to wearing makeup, Mascara is like a girls best friend. Personally, I can’t leave the house without putting on a little bit. Whether your going on a date, getting ready for a night out with the girls, or running out of the house late for work, the lashes are something every girl wants to be longer, bolder and fuller. When somebody looks at your face the first thing they notice are two things: your eyes and smile. The perfect solution to this is to apply Rimmel London Mascara.

0

This is the perfect mascara for any occasion. Its Scandal eyes formula creates a subtle but daring look to your eyes that make people want to look… maybe even a double take! If your going to go see a sad romantic movie and knowing your going to shed a tear or two you don’t want your makeup running down your face. Rimmel London Scandal eyes is also waterproof! Perfect for any eye color. To spice up your eyes even more, add some eye shadow to complete the look. I would recommend this mascara to anybody. Definitely stocking up on this one!

Get Bikini Ready With BIC Shavers

0-9

Are you ready for bikini season?! If you don’t think you are, try BIC Soleil Shave and Trim razors. There are 3 razors that come in the pack, and the best part is that there is a bikini trimmer to go along with it! I never used a bikini trimmer before, but realized I should have a long time ago after I used the BIC trimmer. It is so easy to use, all you have to do is slide the trimmer over the razor head and trim away! There is no pain, and you will be smooth as ever. If you don’t want to use the trimmer, just use the flexible razor by itself. I highly recommend this shaver if you want to be confident during bikini season!!! It can be found in most drug stores and Walmart, for a good price!

Britney Spears Fantasy Twist is Brilliant

Unknown-16

The new Britney Spears perfume duo Fantasy Twist contains two of my favorites in her fragrance collection, Fantasy and Midnight Fantasy. Fantasy, has a very sweet and seductive smell to it. I would recommend this to anyone from ages 13 to 25.  The perfume bottle is about 2 inches tall and 2 inches wide. It can fit into the palm of my hand as you can see in the picture below. Fantasy Twist is a great accessory to take with you on a trip because it won’t take up a lot of room. To apply the perfume you pull up where the dangly keychain is in the front while also simultaneously pulling down.

0-5

Once you open the perfume it splits into two separate halfs each containing a fragrant perfume. The “blue half” holds the fragrance Midnight Fantasy. This fragrance has more of a stronger scent which I could see an older teen using. The “pink half”, called Fantasy, has more of a sweet smell, not as mature. When I opened the bottle, I couldn’t decide which exciting scent to wear first. Try wearing one of the fragrances alone, or spice up your night and wear them together.  Britney Spears Fantasy Twist holds two of my favorite fragrances and I can’t wait to see what Brittney’s next fragrance will be. kohls.com/

Great Skincare System "La Contessa Advanced Skincare"

I rate the La Contessa Advanced Skincare is an A+

I tested this skin care system and was so pleased to see super results! I really love it.  Not only did I see a difference in my skins texture and appearance, but my friends expressed that they noticed my my skin appeared more porcelain, soft and youthful.

It is called La Contessa Advanced skincare.  There are 5 different products in the line to help maximize the quality if the skin including a cream with 30 SPF which is ideal to wear under makeup.  The sunscreen is light and absorbs nicely with no sticky feeling that you often get from using sunscreen products.

AHA foaming cleanser with glycolic acid which deep cleans and exfoliates. It should be used in the morning and evening.  The 10% alpha hydroxy is the highest allowed in an over the counter product. It is very effective as i felt the tingly effects when I tested it. It exfoliated my skin leaving a softer new skin that I could feel and see the results and even noticed the smoothness and better skin quality.
The stem cell complex face and neck serum helps reduce wrinkles, fine lines and preserves the longevity of nice skin.  I love it. For more information go to link below.
