LOS ANGELES – January 23, 2017 – Laurie Hernandez was photographed wearing Lysse while in New York earlier today! The Olympic gymnast looked casual chic wearing Lysse’s Faux Suede Dress ($128, www.lysse.com) while promoting her new book I Got This: To Gold and Beyond.
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.

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:
“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.

LOS ANGELES – January 17, 2017 – Felicity Huffman recently wore ITEM m6 shapewear while attending the 74th Annual Golden Globe Awards! The actress showed off her svelte and defined figure in a gold and white pantsuit enhanced by the Shapewear Pants Shorty ($88 www.itemm6usa.com).
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.
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.
I recently had an amazing opportunity to sample two best selling eye creams from Made from Earth Skincare Line. The two creams are Chamomile Eye Therapy ($22.99)* and Somaluxe Stem Cell + Collagen Moisturizer ($54.99)*. Both products were very nice and I enjoyed using them. I would like to share with you my thought regarding both:
One difference between the two products is that the Chamomile Eye Therapy is designed as a moisturizing eye treatment and Somaluxe Stem Cell + Collagen Moisturizer is designed to be used as an eye treatment as well as a moisturizer for your face and neck. Chamomile Eye Therapy, when used as directed should be used for “5 days, with a break of 2-4 days between applications to allow the skin to naturally heal and support itself.” as stated in the directions. It does state that Chamomile Eye Therapy will not harm your skin if you choose to use it everyday but for optimal results, use for 5 days then take a break for 2 to 4 days. Chamomile Eye Therapy can be used under the eye and on the eye lid. It is formulated with roman chamomile which gently calms the eye area as well as Vitamin C and advanced minerals, helping to minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and help with lighteningng dark circles.
I found myelf using Chamomile Eye Therapy for the first 5 days (Monday through Friday) and taking a break over the weekend. There was a short period of time that I had a dry patch on my eyelid and the Chamomile Eye Therapy was a little bit irritating to the area but overall I really did like it. If I had to choose one, I would go with the Somaluxe Stem Cell + Collagen Moisturizer because I liked the fact that I could apply it to my entire face and neck (the eye area included) as a moisturizer. If you are just looking for an eye treatment only, then I would recommend Chamomile Eye Therapy. I had good results with both creams.
You really do need to use skincare for several weeks or more before you notice differences with your problem areas but it is worth it. You will find an extensive line of skincare ranging from cleansers, moisturizer, serums and much more at www.madefromearth.com
*The price of the Made from Earth Products did not affect my opinion when writing my review
As you work on your masters of counseling programs online the whole idea of being able to live and afford a glamorous lifestyle doesn’t usually coincide with a student budget. What if we told you that you could create that glam makeup look for that special night out on a very limited student budget? Yes, it is more than possible – it just takes a few key products and tools.
While it would be wonderful to scoop up all those high end makeup products you see in the pages of style magazines, the fact of the matter is that these items are extremely expensive. They typically don’t work with your student budget therefore that idea is tossed aside.
Here’s the thing, today, more than ever, consumers are being presented with fabulous dupes of high end products. These dupes not only rival their high-end counterparts giving you very similar results, but in some cases the drugstore dupes even perform better.
Even if you don’t plan on going full-glam on a regular daily basis, which let’s face it, no regular person does – there are still some key items worth owning in your collection. These are items that you can easily add to your look that will elevate it and take it from everyday student to glam and put together. Maybe you and your friends are looking to head out for a night on the town, why not go that extra mile and get glammed up.
Now as far as the “glam look” goes, think old Hollywood as your inspiration. This means a clean and classic face, with a bold lip. What makes this look even better is that you’ll only need a couple of key pieces.
In order to create that glammed up look you’ll want to make sure you’ve got a medium coverage matte foundation that creates that flawless canvas to work on. There is no need to purchase high-end foundations; the key is finding the perfect match to your skin tone. It’s always a good idea to top the foundation off with loose or pressed powder to give you an airbrushed look.
You will want to keep everything on your face fairly clean and minimal. You can go for a bit of sparkle on your eyes, perhaps in a gold tone, but again you don’t want anything too bright or glaring. Instead, focus on doing thick black eyeliner and plenty of black mascara. Right now rose gold is the “in” color, so add a touch of this shade to the apples of your cheek to add that bit of warmth.
Next is the focus of the look: your lips. Old Hollywood glamor was famous for its bold lip, so opt for a rich berry, red, or burgundy shade that will really pop.
Now that you’ve created that flawless, elegant, and oh so glamorous look with minimal expenses or work it’s time to put your college counselor studies aside and go have some fun.
