Skincare To-Do’s Before Saying “I Do”

Planning for your wedding day can be so much fun and yet so stressful.  Sometimes, your skin can show for it and getting a clear, glowing perfection is not only on your to do list but also on your must list.  The earlier you begin addressing your skin concerns, the more prepared you will be if mother nature decides to throw a wrench in your clear complexion plan.  Healthy, glowing skin is achievable but it takes time and with the help of a trusted a dermatologist, esthetician and your own commitment to staying true to a skincare plan you can feel beautiful in your own skin by your wedding day.  We have put together this 12 month timeline for you to follow so that you can start now and we hope will forever commit to healthy skin habits.  So before you say I do to that love of yours, read our skincare guide before you walk down the aisle. Read about a 12 month wedding treatment timeline here.

Skyy Hadley’s Recipe for the Ultimate Hydrating Coconut Scrub

Skyy Hadley’s Recipe

image005

 

 

 

 

Summer may be winding down but our feet are always in need of some restoration and hydration. Whether you’ve had a long day at the office, you’re suffering from dry flip-flop feet, or you’re trying to break in a new pair of heels, there is nothing a DIY at-home foot scrub can’t fix. Try the below recipe for a luxurious, at-home foot treatment from celebrity manicurist and owner of As “U” Wish Nail Spa, Skyy Hadley and your feet will feel good as new in no time!

Skyy Hadley’s Recipe for the Ultimate Hydrating Coconut Scrub:

*Begin by muddling a few fresh mint leaves in an empty jar to release their natural essential oils. This will help you relax while providing hydration.·

*Warm up some coconut oil and pour into the jar until it is halfway full.

*Add 2 tablespoons of honey and mix in 1 tablespoon of sugar until the sugar is completely immersed in the oil mixture.

*Take a couple spoonfuls of the scrub and work into your legs and feet to fully exfoliate, sloughing away dead skin and smoothing out calluses, cracked heels and rough spots.

*The coconut oil will provide a great amount of moisture, leaving skin feeling smooth and supple.

Also, be sure to rub on toe nail beds and in between toes to prevent nail infections and fungus (as coconut oil contains anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties).

Repeat 1-2 times per week for a moisturizing and revitalizing at-home spa treatment.

Feel Like a KILLER QUEEN with Katy Perry’s Sexy Fragrance

Katy Perry Killer Quees

Katy Perry Killer Queen

Just like Katy Perry herself, her Killer Queen perfume exudes playful sexiness. The perfume comes in a luxurious bottle shaped like a red ruby, a fun and sophisticated look for this intoxicating and rich scent.  On the skin, Killer Queen is a slightly sweet and very attractive smell that has hints of wild berries, dark plum, velvety flowers, and jasmine.  It is a complex scent that is almost androgynous and certainly playful and sexy. Accordingly, the perfume works for both night and day. Plus, for me it was long-lasting so it lasts from day to night, amazing! Overall, this luscious and sexy scent is a great confidence booster and makes you feel sophisticated, empowered and beautiful. This perfume certainly lived up to the name and made me feel like a Killer Queen.

You can find Katy Perry Killer Queen at http://www.ulta.com

Relax and Re-Energize with Aqua Spa

26c4d3_714fb28378c04fbfa8d4b64d17ba40c8.png_srz_400_300_75_22_0.50_1.20_0.00_png_srz

Looking for products that will keep skin glowing, young, and healthy? Then you will love the Aqua Spa Body Crème, Body Cleanser, Bath soak. and Bath Oil.  All four of these products are infused with a variety of ingredients that will keep skin looking young and healthy. A few of these ingredients include Silicon, Zinc, Copper, Magnesium, Iron, and Polypeptides. They all work together to keep your skin in tip top condition by enhancing skin elasticity, increasing the level of collagen in the skin, stimulating cell turnover, strengthening the skin as well as giving a healthy glow, and increasing moisture. With these products, the long lasting fresh smell is such a bonus. But the scent isn’t just there to make you smell nice; each smell has a purpose. The Body cleaner has a mixture of ginger and citrus that is used to energize and sharpen senses. The Body Crème and Bath soak both have the scent of eucalyptus and Mint. Eucalyptus has healing properties and can be used to treat acne, wounds, and keep skin feeling smooth. And on top of this, both of these these ingredients are commonly used in aromatherapy to promote relaxation and open up airways to make you breathe with more ease. Aqua Spa products are also Paraben Free, so if you want healthy, clean, and fresh smelling skin, I highly suggest you give Aqua Spa products a try!

Besides Aqua Spa Sooth Collection of eucalyptus & mint you can also choose Aqua Spa  Energize Collection Citrus and Ginger and Aqua Spa Relax Collection of Lavender and Chamomile. The colection can be found at Walmart and at their website aquaspabath.com

MallyBeauty.com is offering 25% off of their Believable Bronzer for the entire month of July! What better time than now to get your hands on a one-stop professional makeup system that gives you an effortless, sun-kissed glow.

 

Mally Beauty

Mally Beauty

 

Mally Beauty Believable Bronzer (retails for: $49.50, now: $37.13): The secret is in using these three powders to achieve that glow-from-within look–a tanning powder for all over color, a shimmer to highlight, and a beautiful sun-kissed shade that’s designed to make your cheeks glow. Unlike traditional bronzers, there is no shimmer in Mally Beauty’s bronzer formula. Instead, the bronzer works in tandem with a warm blush and a sheer shimmer. This allows you to apply color and highlights specific areas of your face, as the sun naturally does, instead of all over. Shades are available in Lighter and Deeper.

The ALOE SOURCE is the Answer to Soft, Silky Skin

nourishing-aloe-souffle

When you’ve been outside all day or enjoying your day at the beach it’s hard to notice if you are actually burning or getting that glowing tan you’ve always wanted. Once you are home and showered is when you start noticing that stubborn sun burn you didn’t want to see. It may be itchy, burning, or worst-case scenario it could start peeling. Earlier today, unfortunately for me, I ended up getting that exact sunburn on my shoulders. Luckily I had the opportunity to try Aloe Source Nourishing Aloe Soufflé, and it worked like a charm! The lotion is so soft and light when applied and did I mention… it smells amazing! The smell is fresh with  a faint scent of lemon. Perfect for freshening up after the beach.

Nourishing Aloe Souffle is formulated with a concentrated blend of Aloe Vera allantoin along with other key ingredients which deliver amazing hydration to your skin. I applied it to the affected area of my skin also on unaffected parts. It softened my skin and helped the burning sensation subside. After I applied it, my skin felt smooth and silky without that sticky feeling from other leading brands that are thick and stiff. I loved this lotion and I would recommend it to anyone! Nourishing Aloe Souffle as well as other Aloe source skincare products can be found at http://thealoesource.com

Laura Mercier Longwear Eye Pencils are here to Stay, on your eyes that is…

Screen Shot 2014-03-25 at 4.00.19 PMLaura Mercier’s line & define mini longwear creme eye pencil collection is amazing. They have become part of my make-up routine and with 5 trendy colors to choose from my eyes are always “poppin”. Laura Mercier Eye pencil collection comes with 5 Mini Longwear Crème Eye Pencils in classic, pure-jet shades of Violet, Espresso, Noir, Sage and Cobalt that allow me to contour, outline and define my eyes. I have a hard time deciding what color to wear because they are all incredible. The colors are vibrant, glide on easily, and stays on throughout the day, you won’t be disappointed.

One of the things I love about lauramercier website is that each product comes with a usage guide. I got a great “How-to” tips on how to use the eye pencils. The website gave me a great tip: “Use a “dot and wriggle” motion to fill up the entire lash line at the roots of lashes, in between each individual lash, creating the look of lush, thick lashes. Apply liner where your lashes naturally grow, all the way to outer corner, but leaving inner corners free. For a softer look, line only upper lid, or both upper and lower lids for maximum definition.”

There is Everything to love about FULL EXPOSURE Smashbox Pallet!

Smashbox

Smashbox

I love the Full Exposure eyeshadow pallet by Smashbox. This pallet comes with a variety of different neutral colors that come in shimmering and matte eyeshadows.

0-42

With the shimmering eyeshadow, you can achieve the perfect nighttime look by creating an intense, gorgeous, captivating look that will draw nothing but positive attention to your eyes. And with the matte, you can get a classic, sophisticated look easily. What I especially love about this pallet is the great pigmentation, long lasting color, and that you can tailor these different types of eyeshadow to embrace your own personal style.

unnamed-9

In addition to the excellent eyeshadow, this pallet also comes with mascara that is perfect to complete your look. The mascara is a rich, black color with a large brush that will effortlessly make your eyelashes volumized and clump free. So with all this being said, I highly recommend the Smashbox Full Exposure pallet!
