FACEatelier Ultra Skin Foundation is Peta Approved. We Love That About It And More

FACEatelier Ultra Skin Lightweight Foundation

FACEatelier Ultra Skin Lightweight Foundation

 

FACEatelier Ultra Skin lightweight foundation is oil and fragrance free, non comedogenic and Vegan and those are just a mere few of the key selling points for me.

It’s high quality formula provides a long-lasting satin finish with light to medium coverage. The creamy texture provides for an airbrush-like look. There are 11 shades of  Ultra Skin’s for  the lightest to the richest complexions (neutral to a cool brown with yellow/green/red undertones).

Note: Ultra Skin’s undertones will cancel out much of the red caused by rosacea or other skin conditions. 

The primer is built right into the foundation. Love that! And, you don’t need a powder to set it. The pump applicator and tube make it perfectly easy to use. The formulation is suitable for all skin types and is water and sebum resistant for great performance in the hot and humid weather. I must state that it performs well in cold, dry winter conditions also.

The pros at FACEatelier recommend using a foundation brush to ensure smooth and clean application. You can use your fingers also and easily with the pump applicator. Whether you use a make up brush or your fingers remember to  use the formula sparingly as a little goes a long way.

The pros at FACEatelier also say to start in the T-zone and work your way out, patting the product onto the skin, not with long swipes but by dotting.  The pros call this “stippling.”

Ultra Skin sets by itself to a flawless, satin like finish.  If you powder, do so sparingly as too much will accentuate skin imperfections and fine lines and wrinkles.

Dr. Whitney Bowe x Mott50 UPF Swimwear Capsule Collection New for Summer 2018

Sonja_Dr. Whitney Bowe x Mott50 UPF Swimwear Capsule Collection

Dr. Whitney Bowe x Mott50 UPF Swimwear Capsule Collection

Dr. Whitney Bowe x Mott50 UPF Swimwear Capsule Collection – New York-based celebrity dermatologist and author of The Beauty of Dirty Skin, Dr. Whitney Bowe, has teamed up with Mott50, the first anti-aging fashion brand with built in sun protection, for an exclusive collaboration just in time for summer.
The collection, debuted on June 25 providing an amazing added layer of protection from the sun in and out of the water in two chic styles for women and one adorable option for girls.
As a leading dermatologist, Dr. Bowe understands the serious need for sun safety and has long been a fan of UPF (ultraviolet protection factor) swimsuits both personally and to recommend to her patients. Dr. Bowe will not recommend a product unless it is backed by studies and science, which is why she initially became a fan of Mott50’s products. Dr. Bowe was also drawn to Mott50 for their vibrant colors, sleek styles and high-quality fabric.
“I always name UPF swimsuits as a summer essential for myself, my family and my patients,” explains Dr. Bowe. “As a dermatologist, I know the importance of protecting skin from sun exposure but I’m also a realist. I’m not going to tell my patients to stop living their lives outdoors. With the Dr. Whitney Bowe x Mott50 UPF Swimwear Capsule Collection, I’m thrilled to provide a chic and safe active wear option for women and their children.”
Each item in the collection is available in an exclusive Spiked Melon shade and features UPF 50 protection, the highest UPF rating available. This meaning it blocks 98% of UVA and UVB rays due to combined factors like fiber structure, density of weave and dye components of the fabric. For context, a simple white tee shirt has a UPF of 3, almost no sun protection! While sunscreen is still a necessity for any exposed areas, there’s no need to apply (and re-apply) to areas covered by the clothing, making the pieces ideal for those who are in and out of the water throughout the day.
The Dr. Whitney Bowe x Mott50 UPF Swimwear Capsule Collection consists of:
·        Sonja ($118): This flattering swim dress is the perfect multi-functional piece, whether you’re wearing it as a dress or cinching up the sides to wear it as a top. Made with soft, quick-drying and breathable swim fabric, the lightweight top offers UPF 50 protection from sun damage and features a sleek, sport cut and half zip closure.
·        Mila One-Piece ($118): This sleek one-piece is stylish yet surprisingly comfortable to wear. Made with soft, quick-drying UPF 50 fabric, it’s an easy option for water activities like swimming and paddle boarding.
·        Mini Mila ($44): The perfect, chic mommy and me option. Protect your little one with UPF 50 fabric for all of your outdoor adventures.
In addition to her UPF collection, Dr. Bowe recommends a 360 approach to healthy radiant skin that targets skin inside out and outside in. She works with all of her patients to ensure they’re focusing on a healthy diet, supplements, and topical skincare, including sunscreen.

Coconut & Papaya Liquid Hand Soap and Hand Cream from Nubian Heritage

Nubian Heritage Coconut & Papaya Polishing and Renewing Hand Cream

Nubian Heritage Coconut & Papaya Polishing and Renewing Hand Cream

 

Coconut & Papaya Liquid Hand Soap and Hand Cream, for all skin types, combination skin, dry skin, oily skin.

The Nubian Heritage brand is a favorite here at It’s a Glam Thing. We have posted about products from the brand a couple of times past.  Here is a reminder of the last posting that we did. It was an Earth Day posting.

Today is Earth Day, Celebrate the Day with Nubian Heritage

Today we wanted to take the time to mention the Coconut & Papaya Polishing and Renewing Liquid Hand Soap and the Coconut & Papaya Polishing and Renewing Hand Cream.

The hand cream is absolutely lovely. The smell can’t be beat for this time of the year. The formula includes Vanilla Extract, Coconut Oil, Shea Butter and Papaya Extract.  There is no need for perfume with this hand cream, especially if you smooth it onto your elbows and knees  too. That is, if you are not lucky enough to have the body lotion and the rest of the Coconut & Papaya collection of products.

The Hand Cream nicely compliments the Coconut & Papaya Polishing and Renewing Liquid Hand Soap.  The Hand Soap also is formulated with the Papaya fruit extract, coconut oil and vanilla extract plus, of course, Shea Butter.

There are other quality ingredients in both products and all ingredients are ethically traded. The ingredients are balanced to exfoliate, nourish and renew your skin. The products are cruelty free. What you won’t find in these formulations are parabens, sulfates, phthalates, paraffin, mineral oil, petroleum, DEA synthetic fragrances or artificial coloring.

You can purchase Nubian Heritage products at your shopping outlet of choice including The Vitamin Shoppe, Amazon and NubianHeritage.com . These are very price friendly for such quality products.

Breast Pain After A Workout Or A Run? Caliloko Performance Bras May Be Your Solution

Image provided by CALILOKO

Image provided by CALILOKO

 

Are your breasts getting in the way of your exercise routine? Are “the girls” sore after a run? Do you find yourself dancing with less impact because of breast discomfort from bouncing? Have you been pierced by an underwire?

“There are a couple of ways exercise causes breast pain,” says OB-GYN Alyssa Dweck, M.D., author of V is for Vagina. “One of the more common culprits is muscular strain, which can occur from strength training.” But, she says, “high-impact exercises like running can also stress the muscles and ligaments in your chest, causing discomfort and soreness, especially if you’re wearing a less-than-supportive bra. Another way your bra can cause injury is via the underwire, which can become damaged or misshapen and pierce or otherwise hurt your breast tissue”

Have you ever been at the gym, dance studio or out on a run and witnessed a woman holding her breasts to protect them? Have you noticed your breasts sagging more than usual since you started your rigorous work out routine?

Information from the Research Group in Breast Health at the University of Portsmouth in the UK says, “Yes”.  If you’re not protecting your breasts properly, up and down and side to side movement with exercise doesn’t just mean you may be sensitive, uncomfortable or hurting. It actually could cause your breasts to sag prematurely.

Personally, I have experienced this and even went as far as to wear two sports bras at once in an attempt to overcome the discomfort and keep from sagging. I finally recently found a performance sports bra that withstands my work outs but is comfy too. It’s the Auburn Fitness Performance Racer Back Bra by Caliloko. It’s made with Meryl Hydrogen Skinlife yarn. I am going to research that a bit after this posting. The bra is seamless and soft, provides optimal sweat wicking and it breathes.

Here (detailed below) is what we found out about the Auburn Fitness Performance Racer Back Bra on the Caliloko website. Notice the mention of UPF 50+ Sun protection. Love that!

High Impact Support
• 4-Way Stretch
• Ultra Comfortable Fit
• Smooth Fabric
• Anti-Odor Fabric
• Sweat Wicking
• Anti Chafing Seamless
• UPF 50+ Sun protection
• Reflective Logo

Fabric:
60% Polyamide
20% Polyester
20% Elastane

Care:
• Lightweight and delicate fabric
• Hand or machine wash cold with like colors, preferably in a mesh wash bag
• Gentle cycle
• Air dry
• Do not use any fabric softener or bleach
• Do not iron

Check out all of the Compression Technology, Caliloko sportswear. You’ll find tights, headbands and more and stuff for your guy too.

Meet Nathalie de Champlain the Founder of the company HERE

Oh, and I must not forget to mention that the bra comes nicely boxed and with it’s own delicates wash bag.

NORDSTROM SELECTS KELLY WYNNE CLEAR HANDBAGS FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS

KELLY WYNNE CLEAR BACKPACK

KELLY WYNNE CLEAR BACKPACK

Kelly Wynne announced that Nordstrom will be selling Kelly Wynne handbags beginning late July. It is currently the only clear handbag the retailer is carrying for fashionistas following the clear handbag trend, for sports fans on game day, and music-lovers at concerts that require clear bags. Currently, even some public schools have started requiring clear backpacks as a response to current events.

Kelly Wynne recently released the first ever backpack for the brand. It is clear with a removable flap that allows it to transition into a tote if needed for even easier access through security. It is available for pre-order now on www.kellywynne.com. Kelly Wynne also offers customization for her clear handbags, so customers can purchase their team colors. Shoppers can choose from 8 python prints in: black/grey and white, blue, navy, purple, red/navy, crimson/maroon, green, and orange . The customizable python printed leather appears on the sides, the strip down the middle, on the chain strap, and the bottom of the Mingle Mingle Mini, while the main portion of the purse remains clear. The new clear handbags are available now for pre-order and will ship late July.

“As a personal shopper of Nordstrom, it’s surreal to see my bags now carried here.” said Kelly Wynne Ferguson, CEO of Kelly Wynne. “We are excited for this new partnership and honored to be Nordstrom’s premiere choice for their customers for clear handbags. This opens up new distribution channels for our brand with one of the largest and most reputable retailers. We look forward to working with Nordstrom and know that our game day bags offer a ‘wynne-wynne’ opportunity.”

Looking ahead, Kelly Wynne will be launching her “Mirage” Fall collection this August that is inspired by the desert, but with a deeper theme that calls out the facade many people live behind in today’s online world. The brand will offer over 50 new handbags with various python prints this Fall, all inspired by being authentic and being comfortable in one’s own skin.
