Buff on your Celebration Foundation Illumination to achieve a flawless face in 30 seconds! Gently swirl circles in your powder using the Heavenly Luxe Double Airbursh Foundation Brush, the dust onto your skin in circular motions for a naturally flawless, airbrushed finish that looks and feels like silk.
 

This velvety, full coverage foundation is infused with a blend of anti-again skin-loving ingredients! Celebration Foundation Illumination is your 30 seconds to flawless full coverage plus that look of perfect lighting all in one compact!
 

With the Heavenly Luxe Double Airbrush Foundation Brush or your favorite It Cosmetics Blush Brush, swirl the brush into the CC+ Radiance Ombre Blush and lightly dust over the apples of your cheeks using light, upward, sweeping motions for a flush of gorgeous color and radiance. For a more intense color, apply a second dusting of blush.
 

To add light to your cheeks, dip the edge of your brush into the highlight side of your blush and apply to the top of the cheekbone.
 

Line and define your most beautiful eyes. Gently and effortlessly glide the automatic No-Tug Waterproof Gel Eyeliner onto your upper and lower lash lines or inner rims for beautiful definition that lasts. 
 

Next, It's your lashes and extensions in one step! Starting at the base of your lashes, hold the Hello Lashes Extensions Mascara brush horizontally, then wiggle and sweep the brush up and through the tip of the lash. 
 

To add volume, length and separation to your lashes, go vertical! Holding the brush vertical, use the lash ball detailer to define each lash on the upper and lower lash line.

You are beautiful, you are one of a kind, you are IT!

XoXo,
Whitney

Korres Greek Yoghurt Cooling Gel

Hey everyone!

Even in the fall, our skin can get sun burnt, so make sure to keep adding on that SPF! However, if you do happened to get sunburned, a new product I have come across is the Korres Greek Yoghurt Cooling Gel.

This gel is great for sensitive skin after too much sun exposure, and I find that it really helps to soothe my redness. 

Here is what Korres has to say:

An after-sun, ultra cooling and soothing cream for the face and body that provides long lasting freshness and comfort.

Key Ingredient:

In Greece, yoghurt – a rich nourishing ingredient and natural source of lactose, proteins, minerals and vitamins – is known for its ability to instantly soothe the skin by delivering increased moisture to the skin’s surface.

How to Use:

Apply to the face and body after sun exposure. Repeat 2-3 times on irritated skin.

Caution: Avoid direct contact with eyes. 

Cooling Tip:

For maximum cooling effect keep refrigerated!  

This product retails for $26.00, and can be purchased at Sephora!

Fall Beauty Roundup

Hey everyone!

Just as the seasons change, your beauty routine should as well. It’s time to switch out your bright lipsticks and bronzers for some more delectable products. Make a flawless switch with these beauty bests below! 

After a long summer in the sun it’s important to bring the moisture back to your hair. First use the KMS California MOISTREPAIR therapy treatment to rescue your dry hair. This product will strengthen and moisturize hair after one use, restoring luster. Then follow with KMS California MOISTREPAIR revival cream to restore the moisture balance, instantly improve manageability and control static flyaways. 

Switch out your bright shade of lipstick for a darker color such as one from Rimmel London’s Moisture Renew collection. The shade pictured below is called Diva Red. This vitamin-enriched lipstick leaves lips feeling drenched in moisture and intense color.

And, a fresh coat of Rimmel London 60 Second Color Rush in Caramel Cupcake is key to finishing your Fall beauty look. 

These are all the products you need to achieve a fun, fresh fall look this year!

Get the Look: Anna Kendrick at the Cake Premiere‏

Hey everyone!

Hitting the red carpet for the hotly anticipated premiere of "Cake" at this year's Toronto Film Festival, Anna Kendrick's look was created with one theme in mind -- dreamy daytime. "Since this was a daytime premiere, we wanted to keep Anna's look a bit more demure than what you'd expect to see on a nighttime red carpet", says Kendrick's makeup artist Toby Fleischman.

"Going for a soft, pretty look, I smudged Nars Duo Eyeshadow in Dogon under the bottom lashes and into the corner of her lash line. The irridescent taupe eyeshadow blends beautifully into the gray, creating a very subtle smoke, perfect for daytime", says Fleischman. She followed it up with a few coats of Lancome's Grandiose Mascara, one of her favorites, to get "just the right amount of drama".

"We kept the rest of the face very subtle, using Pur Minerals Cream Blush in Coy, which melts right into the cheeks for a nude, flushed look. And last, but certainly not least, we finished the look off with Burt's Bees new Lip Crayon in Sedona Sands ($9, www.burtsbees.com), which gives the absolute perfect neutral lip. The color is great on a variety of skin tones, and the formula is super moisturizing. Voila!"
 
I have been testing out these two products for a couple weeks now, and I now know why they used them in this look! The cream blush applies evenly to the skin, and gives you a subtle, natural glow. And, the Burt's Bees Lip Crayon completes the neutral look with a soft lip!
