Miracle Revival Mud will have your skin Muddy to Glowing in Minutes

unnamed-11

I can’t pass up trying a new facial mask, especially if it’s from Sarah McNamara’s Miracle Skin Transformer line. I have used many of her products and Miracle Rival Mud lives up to the name. With a little bit of time, only 15 minutes, and a little bit of mud, you will have glowing skin. Miracle Revival Mud doesn’t peel off and doesn’t tighten your skin, you simply apply the mud to your face and wait for it to dry. As the mud dries imagine all the vitamins and antioxidants it contains, soaking into your skin. Some of the key ingredients are Manuka Honey, Green Tea and Mushroom extracts. Miracle Revival Mud also helps with your skins elasticity while helping to reduce blemishes.

Miracle Revival Mud is formulated with a special absorbing action helping to “unclog pores, deliver natural nourishment, eliminate dead skin cells and detoxify impurities. Skin feels comfortably refreshed, invigorated, and youthful“.

One of the things I love about this mask is as you rinse it off, an exfoliation process occurs while rubbing the mud in circular motions. The exfoliation is so gentle you won’t even notice it. The result? Your skin is left feeling soft, smooth and cleansed. Miracle Revival Mud also helps with your skins elasticity while helping to reduce blemishes.

According to their website, “Extensive studies have shown that this bioactive silt shows superior activity in comparison to Dead Sea Mud, Fango Mud and Moor Mud in increasing skin moisture, reduces sebum flow, increases cell turnover by 92% and leaving the skin feeling smooth and soft.”  I like to say, with Miracle Revival Mud, the muddier, the better.

Sarah McNamara’s Miracle Skin Transformer is available for $38 at Kohl’s  beauty counters and at miracleskintransformer.com.

Hemp for Your Whole Family

By Lisa Gal

Manitoba Harvest offers hemp based nutrition for the whole family. Hemp Hearts contain 10 grams of plant-based protein and 10 grams of Omegas, which means they have more protein and omegas and less carbs than the same serving of chia or flax. Sprinkle it on your salad, cereal or yogurt for a slightly nutty flavor with an added crunch (and yes, you will still be able to walk afterwards). Hemp contains 0.001% Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and will NOT cause a psychoactive effect. Manitoba Harvest brand products can be purchased at Whole Foods, Sprouts and the Vitamin Shoppe to name a few. Hollywood Swag Bag is including these Canadian based products in their bags being gifted to the guests and Emmy nominees staying at the Four Seasons Hotel this award season.

Good gally miss Mally

It’s makeup, it’s invisible, it’s a setting powder! That’s right, the first ever invisible powder from Mally Beauty is literally taking the beauty industry by storm. It goes on clear and helps to set makeup in place for an all day flawless finish that help eliminate fine lines/wrinkles and closes (but does no clog) pores. When I first saw the product, I have to admit I was a little hesitant and kind of freaked. I didn’t know how to apply or how to even explain what it is.

Mally Beauty Ever color Poreless Face Defender

Mally Beauty Ever color Poreless Face Defender

The face defender by Mally was made originally for miss Beyoncé. It does not leave an ashy look like some finishing powders. Having pale/oily skin not only finding the right color but one that gives a matte finish is very hard. with the face defender I no longer have to worry. A couple weeks ago I wore my face defender on a 10 hour shift where I was running around like a mad woman. Due to sensitive/oily skin my makeup tends to move causing it to come off. Wearing my face defender I looked like I had just put my makeup on by 6 that afternoon. It’s velvet feel also gives off a beautiful matte finish. This can also go under makeup acting as a primer for a more clean application.

So no matter skin type, color, or even what makeup you use, try Mally Beauty’s Evercolor Poreless Face Defender invisible powder. Now your look will definitely be “bulletproof”. Oh did I mention that even men can use this product?

For more information on how you to can get your very own Face Defender check out MallyBeauty.com, check out QVC.com or find it at your local Ulta!

You don’t need the beach to get beach waves

Beach days may be almost over but that doesn’t mean your beach hair and gorgeous waves need to stop! See how you can get messy, beachy waves with this easy tutorial using a flat iron!

Kate Hudson

Step 1: Begin by brushing hair with the John Frieda by Conair Sleek Finish Cushion Brush to remove knots and avoid any pulling.

Step 2: Next, spray hair with a heat protectant and heat activated styling spray, such as KMS California FREESHAPE 2-in-1 styling + finishing spray. Than separate the top sections of your hair from the bottom with clips. Curl the bottom layers first and work your way up. Start with a one-inch section of your hair.

Step 3: Use a 1-inch straightening iron. I suggest John Frieda by Conair Sleek Finish 1” Flat Iron. Starting a few inches from the roots, curl the iron away from your face. Hold the straightener with your wrist and your hand facing towards you and twist away from your face in a clockwise motion.

Step 4: Keep turning the iron as you approach the end of your hair and always keep it moving. If you stay too long in one spot you may create dents in the hair.

Step 5: Slowly release the clamp as you get close to the ends for a more modern look. To keep the look wavy instead of too curly, leave the ends out. Finish the look with a medium hold hairspray such as, Philip B. Jet Set Precision Control Hairspray, to increase volume while still allowing movement.

Do the “TanGo”

Lately my career has me on the road up to 2-3 weeks sometimes more. Even though I love it, Its hard to adjust to my daily skincare routine. With that includes wanting to do some self tanner being that we are now going into the fall months. I have always loved self tanning because the sun and I are not the best of friends lol. And on top of the that, sometimes I don’t get it even enough. With TanGo exfoliating mitt, applicator mitt, removal cloth and glove I can get the perfect tan.

TanGo

TanGo

TanGo’s products are non abrasive so you don’t have to worry about it harming your skin, and the cloth and glove are even great for removing makeup. No product. Wet the towel down and just wipe away. Its that cool. Also, lets say you no longer want your tan just use the tan removal glove and instantly your tan comes off. The applicator applies your tanner evenly, thoroughly and leaves your hand feeling less sticky and mess free. And all products are reusable!

TanGo is by far one of the best tanning supply I have ever used. With so many different uses in the glove & towel, the applicator giving a flawless finish and the exfoliator mitt making you feel squeaky l=clan, its no wonder I can’t get enough. I swear I’m beyond addicted to all these products (especially the exfoliator mitt). For more information on how you to can purchase these products check out http://www.tangocloth.com/
