Look Flawless with Tips from Mally Roncal

Hey everyone!

Want to know how to look flawless in this heat? Mally Roncal, Celebrity Makeup Artist and President / Founder of Mally Beauty gives you three looks to try out that are fun, bright and right on season:

Bright Pink Lips: Because pink is so bright, you want to make sure that you prevent the color from moving around on your lips. On dry lips, use a lipstick first and follow with the liner after to get precision. Try Mally Beauty Bright Lip Kit in Frisky Fuchsia ($26: QVC.com). You can add a gloss for extra shine.

Sparkly, Bronzy, Smokey Eye: Simply line the whole eye area using a Shadow Stick and then blend with your fingertips. Try Mally Beauty Evercolor Shadow Stick in Saddle Shimmer ($$25: Mallybeauty.com).  Apply a gold shade in the crease of the eye and bottom lash to soften the look. Complete the look by applying at least three coats of mascara – try Waterproof during the summer months. Try Mally Beauty Waterproof Volumizing Mascara $20: Mallybeauty.com). 

Bronzed Skin:  Use a bronzer that is one to two shades darker than your natural skin tone. Apply it where the sunlight will naturally hit your face, like behind the ears, along the jawline, across the top of the forehead, of the nose, cheeks, and tip of the chin. Try Mally Beauty Believable Bronzer ($40: Mallybeauty.com).  Finish off the look by adding more light to the face with a highlighting powder. But, only apply it to your cheekbones. Try Mally Beauty Effortless Airbrush Highlighter and Blush Duo ($45: Mallybeauty.com).

Whitney

These little babies fit perfectly into my heels, and my feet thanked me the entire night! They are totally a feet-saver, and I will not be wearing heels without them... Ever! I'm even purchasing a couple for my friends who love their heels! I totally recommend giving them a try.

Have you tried these yet?

Get Fresh This Weekend with Güd‏

Hey everyone!

You all know how much I love Burt's Bees' Gud line. Their products smell and work amazing for my hair and body. Recently, I was lucky enough to be scent a few goodies from their Pearanormal Activity and Orange Petalooza scents. 

The Pearanormal Activity shampoo and conditioner worked well with my hair, leaving it silky smooth and soft! I found that a little amount went a long way for both products, and they rinsed clean out of my hair. Plus, my hair smelled like delicious pears! What's not love?

The Orange Petalooza body lotion and shower gel smell so good! I actually look forward to applying moisturizer now after the shower. The shower gel has a rich lather, moisturizes the skin, and leaves behind a soft, sweet orange scent that lingers most of the morning. The body lotion is rich and luxurious without being greasy or heavy on the skin. I apply this after my shower in the morning, and my skin has never felt or smelled better!


Pearanormal Activity Shampoo - $7.00

A shampoo that’s jam-packed with botanicals, combined with the scent of pear and açaí berry, for the shiniest hair since the last time something really shiny happened.

Pearanormal Activity Conditioner - $7.00

Hey hair, it’s me, your conditioner. Let’s hop in the car and go. ‘Cuz you’re looking pretty amazing and smelling like juicy pear and açaí berry. Woot-woot!
 


Orange Petalooza Body Lotion - $7.00

Naturally hydrating shea butter quenches skin and absorbs quickly. The scent of blood orange and hyacinth leaves skin smelling delectable. A win-win-win for skin.

Orange Petalooza Body Wash - $7.00

A richly lathering body wash with the scent of blood orange and hyacinth. All in the key of awesome.

What scents have you tried from Burt's Bees Gud line?

Whitney

Le Couvent Des Minimes Beauty Products

Hey everyone!

You all know how much I love beauty products from France! Recently, I was sent a few goodies to try out from Le Couvent Des Minimes, a brand that will be carried at Ulta starting this August! These three products are so amazing, I cannot wait to see what Ulta will carry! 

The Beneficial Rose Skincare Complete Moisturizing Cream is thick and luxurious, but it still absorbs into skin quickly. I currently use this both day and night, and I have noticed a difference in my skin already. My face looks healthier and my skin feels soft and smooth.

The Hiker's Foot Healer Lotion works wonders on my dry and tired feet! In the summer, I tend to go around the house barefoot, so my feet aren't always their prettiest all the time. However, thanks to this foot cream, my dry heels are moisturized and are looking better the more I use this on them! Plus, this foot cream feels like a treat whenever I use it, so what's not to love?

You all know by now about my constant fight with my dry, rough hands. Well, the Gardener's Hand Healer has totally proven itself to me! I put a pea size amount of this cream on my hands, and I could instantly feel the difference in my skin. This hand cream doesn't leave a greasy residue behind, so I can put it on in the middle of the day and not worry. 


Beneficial Rose Skincare Complete Moisturizing Cream (1.7oz, $33):

This rich moisturizer replenishes skin with active extracts of four beneficial roses and hydrating Grapeseed Oil, for soft, supple, smooth, and radiant skin.


Hiker’s Foot Healer (2.6oz, $19):

Recover from a long trek - or just a long day - with this original recipe of nine beneficial plants, selected to nourish, soften and soothe hot, tired, dry feet. The all-in-one foot healer features Borage Oil, Shea Butter and Grapeseed Oil to nourish and repair, as Wintergreen softens and Ivy improves microcirculation. Tapioca Powder prevents rubbing and chafing while Alpine Mint, Lemon and Listea Cubeba essences refresh and purify.


Gardener’s Hand Healer (2.6oz., $19; 0.8oz., $8):
 
This best selling cream features an original recipe combining 20% Shea Butter and seven beneficial plants in a rich and emollient cream to nourish and repair dry, damaged hands. The formula protects against cracks and chapped skin like an invisible glove. As Shea Butter nourishes and regenerates, Rosemary protects and Marshmallow prevents irritation. Calendula and Lemon Balm provide antibacterial benefits, while Chamomile soothes, Mimosa repairs and Verbena revitalizes.
 
Here is a bit of information about the brand:  
 
400 years ago, a convent was built in the village of Mane in the South of France to shelter the botanist monks of the Minims, who used their considerable knowledge of plants to tend a garden of curative herbs and flowers.  Centuries later, the Franciscan Missionaries of Mary continued the original convention of cultivating beneficial ingredients to help strengthen and restore those in need through food recipes. The sisters used the power of plants to nourish and heal their community, restoring well-being in a spirit of generosity. This emphasis on nourishing care through nature inspired Le Couvent des Minimes’ own simple yet powerful natural fragrance and skincare recipes, the basis of a collection of efficacious formulas that draw on the heritage and traditions of the convent of Mane.
 
Every recipe combines proven natural ingredients and is inspired by ancestral traditions to deliver modern benefits. From skincare to bath and body to fragrance, each formula is crafted using age-old phytotherapy and aromatherapy practices honed over centuries, blending effective and pleasurable ingredients to nourish and replenish. Le Couvent des Minimes recipes combine ingredients like floral waters and nutrient-rich plant extracts that have an inherent affinity with the skin for naturally efficacious products.
 
The full collection is available at usa.lecouventdesminimes.com and select items will be available at ULTA Beauty in August 2013.
 
Will you be trying out this brand?
 
XoXo,
Whitney

Lancome Aqua Bleu Nail Polish

Hey everyone!

I have slowly started to become 'that' girl. You know what I'm talking about... the girl that has a nail polish collection over 15 and growing. I have very short nails, and they can be challenging to paint, so I am always on the lookout for a polish that I can use easily, and lasts without chipping! Recently, I was sent a Lancome nail polish from their new Summer 2013 Collection in the shade Aqua Bleu. This is the perfect shade for summer, because it's a beautiful ocean blue.

With ultimate brilliance, intense color, and a mistake-free application, your nails will love the lasting shine and pop of color that stays put for days.

~Easy application 

Technology:

~Multi-Polymers Complex provides a film that protects color and keeps nails perfectly polished.
