Ramune, the Fun Marble Soda

Ramune

by Lisa Gal

If you want something “cool” to drink, you should check out the fizzy, fun and refreshing asian soda Ramune complete with a marble inside! Initially created to hold in carbonation, the marble is now a packaging innovation. Never have I had a soda that came with a challenge. You might have trouble opening the bottle at first, but that is part of the fun. Simply put pressure on the stopper to dislodge the marble and open up fizzy fun. Ramune Original is the one that started it all, with it’s unique flavor that no one can duplicate. Naturally flavored Ramune is brought to you by Sangaria and shipped straight from Japan keeping the rich Japanese culture alive. Hollywood Swag Bag will be gifting the beverage to the celebrity nominees, talent and guests staying at The Four Seasons Hotel for the Screen Actors Guild Awards later this month. Taste a little of the history with Ramune.

Experience Exquisite skincare from Isdinceutics

 

 

IMG_3519

I recently discovered Isdinceutics Skincare and this upscale brand is amazing. I have used at least 4 products in this line during a 2 month period and had amazing results. Today, I want to tell you about 2 of the items in the ISDIN line which promotes a “Bright Skin Routine“, Isdinceutics Melaclear and Isdinceutics Skindrops. You certainly do not have to use these products together but I chose to do so because of my skin type. I have slight discoloration in certain areas of my face and very mild redness on my cheeks which I must cover with a foundation. Isdinceutics Melaclear has actually lightened some spots over the past 2 months. To compliment Melaclear,  Isdinceutics™ Skin Drops coated my skin with a perfect color foundation and covered the redness which held out throughout the day.

Isdinceutics Melaclear is a corrective serum, that when used according to the directions, will help “even and fade spots related to hyperpigmentation.of different origins thanks to the dual action of Vitamin C and Phytic Acid.” Isdinceutics Melaclear has a consistency of water and immediately dries as soon as its applied to your face and/or neck. What I love about Melaclear is that you can use it anytime, day and/or night and its used not only on your face but neck and hands too. It is suitable for all skin types.

I have great difficulty finding foundations that work well for my skin and I am super impressed with what Isdinceutics™ Skin Drops has done for me.  The Skin Drops are offered in 2 shades, Bronze and Sand. My skin tone is medium and Sand was the perfect choice for me. Bronze is a much darker foundation which would be perfect for someone with a dark skin tone. You can also blend the 2 shades for your perfect color match.

It only took 3 to 4 drops to of Isdinceutics™ Skin Drops to provide my face with perfect coverage. I was left with a velvety appearance and I found that I didn’t even need to use loose powder over the foundation. I had the same result as if I did use powder.

ISDIN states that SKIN DROPS will conceal skin imperfections, such as vitiligo, discoloration, varicose veins, bruising, scars, burns and even tattoos. Isdinceutics™ Skin Drops definitely worked for my discoloration and redness as I only have those two skin issues.

Grab & Go Seaweed by SeaSnax

SeaSnax

by Lisa Gal

I cannot say enough about SeaSnax. We have been working together since the beginning, so this time I want to share a little about who they are:

  • SeaSnax is a socially conscious, kid-inspired family business.  They source only the highest quality of seaweed from Korea. Not only do they care about kids, but they care about the planet too. For this reason they contribute 10% of their annual net profit to non-profit organizations committed to making the world a better and gentler place for our children and our earth.

So grab yourself some Sheets, STIX, Chomperz, SeaVegi or SeaMama’s and get ready for a Strangely Addictive snack that you won’t put down!

We are excited for them to take part in another Hollywood Swag Bag this time honoring the 2017 SAG award nominees and talent staying at The Four Seasons Hotel.

From the Pros: 6 Beauty Essentials for Every Girl on the Go

No-Sweat-Benefits

Especially during the holiday months, people are on the go. They are putting in hours in the office, only to head home when the 5:00 whistle blows so they can transition to party mode with their co-workers, colleagues, and family members. Although it may seem there isn’t enough time to maintain beauty routines with all the hustle and bustle, there are some tricks of the trade that will keep every girl on the go looking refreshed and feeling just as energetic.

“Being on the go, especially during the holidays, can be draining and exhausting,” explains expert traveler Tina Aldatz, chief executive officer of travel wellness company Savvy Travelers. “The good news is that you don’t have to compromise on your beauty routines. It’s all about knowing how to keep up with the essentials on the go, which is what we specialize in.”

Here are 6 beauty essentials for every girl on the go:

  1. Take Offz. These wipes are perfect for being able to get the make-up off between going from the office to quickly getting on the holiday party face. There’s no worry about going home to clean off your face, when you have these handy in your purse or bag. Plus, if you have had one too many pomegranate martinis, these are a quick and easy way to cleanse, tone, and moisturize. Just keep a few wipes next to your bed. There’s no rinse needed.
  2. In the Klear. It’s estimated that cellphones have 10 times more germs than a toilet seat does, and you end up touching it hundreds of times per day. You can help stay healthy and beautiful by carrying these wipes to use on your phone.
  3. Bottomz Up. You always want to feel fresh and clean “down there,” even when you are having a busy day and can’t fit in a shower before heading off to your next event. These intimate wipes will keep you feeling fresh and clean on the go. These are also great to use before and after your monthly wax, helping you to stay fresh from head to toe.
  4. Lift Offz. Many people may have nicely painted nails at the office, but by time you go to leave there and head to another function you realize your polish is chipped. These handy wipes will quickly remove the nail polish and keep you looking great. And after the party is over and you need to take off that party red, this single wipe will not only remove the polish from all 10 nails, but will moisturize your cuticles, and leave your hands feeling clean and clear.
  5. Speak Eazy. Forget trying to carry around a toothbrush. These oral care wipes are perfect for after that morning coffee and before your goodnight kiss. You will never have to worry about red wine or coffee stains on your teeth. Every party girl should keep these in their clutch for a water free mouth wash experience.
  6. No Sweat. The last thing you want is to be sweating and stinking as you head to your holiday party. These discreet personal wipes are for that little black dress, because white flakes of deodorant are not cute. These wipes are gym bag ready for your 2017 fitness resolutions, too!

“We created our collection of wipes because we personally have busy lives and understand the hassles that we women go through, not just every day, but especially during the holiday party season,” added Aldatz. “That’s why we created our designed wipes. There is no longer a reason to sacrifice things like feeling fresh and clean just because you are busy and have places to go.”

The designer beauty wipes are convenient and easy for anyone on the go to carry with them at all times. They help make for a smooth transition from the office to the evening hot spot or party. The wipes are all individually wrapped, making it easy to carry them in a purse or bag, and to keep some in a desk drawer, car, or gym and yoga bag. Those looking for an ongoing gift may want to consider enrolling their special lady friend into the Savvy Travelers subscription service, called “Wipeaholics.” This will keep a monthly supply of 30 must-have wipes being delivered each month to their mailbox.

Savvy Travelers offers a no-rinse line of products that help to keep travelers healthy and lends a convenient collection of problem solvers for beauty and wellness needs. Savvy Travelers designer beauty wipes are curated for the “on-the-go” sophisticated savvy travelista! No water? No problem!  The company offers a line of pre-packaged individual cosmetic wipes that are a savior in flight, in your car and out and about when you still want to feel clean and refreshed.

butter LONDON + Project Runway Jr. Winning Look | Episode 4, Day to Night

unnamed-3 (2)

Last week on Project Runway Junior®, Tim Gunn asked the designers to create looks that took their models from day to night using their own unique point of view. The butter LONDON makeup needed to be just as versatile. For the winning look, the show’s Key Makeup Artist, Scott Patric, drew a blended out cat eye for a smoky effect while keeping the rest of the look neutral.

unnamed-2

Too intense for your regular daytime look? Skip the eyeliner and create a something more subtle, playing up cheeks, brows and lashes. When day turns to night, use butter LONDON’s Wink Eye Pencil in Union Jack Black to line the outer edge of your upper lashes and smudge it out by using a small eyeshadow brush to recreate this winning look.
