The Gorgeous LORAC Beauty and the Beast Collection~

LORAC Beauty and the Beast Collection

 

Have you seen the gorgeous LORAC Beauty and the Beast collection? It’s really stunning! Here are the products:

PRO Eye Shadow Palette ($48.00) Inspired by Belle’s steadfast strength and undeniable beauty, let this palette take you on a magical journey of wonder and romance. Inspired by Belle’s love of books, the palette tells the story of the film through color. From Belle’s provincial town to stealing Beast’s heart during their iconic dance, each row of shades is representative of a scene in the movie. These eye shadows are hyper pigmented to perform wet or dry so you can shade, shadow, line, and define your eyes like a pro.

The colors are amazing and they are very pigmented.  The shades are:

  • Impress (dark mahogany matte)
  • Romance (burgundy matte)
  • Chip In (rose cream matte)
  • Tick Tock (true mauve matte)
  • Enchanting (blush gold shimmer)
  • Look Beyond (tawny matte)

Cheek Palette ($28.00) Drawing on hues of the film’s iconic flower, this rose-inspired palette includes four new and exclusive shades from our Color Source Buildable Blush and Light Source Illuminating Highlighters. These complexion-enhancing formulas can be dusted on lightly for a soft, natural look or layered for dramatic results.

I find a little goes a long way with these.  The cheek colors are so romantic, but that gold highlighter called Fearless tho!  So pretty.  They all blend so well.

Lipstick Collection ($36.00) The lush, moderate-coverage MOD Cream Lipstick turns all eyes to the pout and sets our heroine up for a beauty look strong enough to steady a beast. Create the perfect pop of color with Red Rose or achieve a more neutral look with True Beauty.

The colors for the lipsticks and glosses are:

  • True Beauty
  • Red Rose
  • Belle-ieve
  • Tres Chic
  • Savoir Faire

Lip Gloss Collection ($34.00) What’s a princess-worthy look without the lip color to finish it? LORAC Los Angeles takes falling in love to the next level with this brand-new lip gloss. These colors are the perfect companion to our lipstick collection. Use matching MOD Lip Gloss for added shine, or mix and match to create your own custom color.

Here’s a gorgeous look made with these product:

My Beauty Favorites — Week of July 3 – July 9, 2017

Another hot week has gone by!  I hope you had a great holiday weekend!  I enjoyed some sun and fun!

This week I am loving products that are good for my skin and make a difference in it’s appearance.  They include a duo of products to rid you of crepey skin, an amazing group of SPF moisturizers from H2O+, a combo hand creme and lip balm, and fab anti-aging skincare:

Crepe Erase Exfoliating Body Polish — This luxurious body scrub is your first step to visibly smoother, firmer, more radiant skin. It’s specifically developed to target dull, saggy, crepey skin on areas like your neck, chest, arms and legs. It’s free of plastic micro beads and uses exfoliators like rice bran wax and lactic acid to gently buff away dead skin cells and other skin-aging impurities for visibly smoother, younger-looking skin. Its fresh, clean fragrance invigorates the senses while leaving your skin lightly scented.

Crepe Erase Intensive Body Repair Treatment — The powerhouse of the Crepe Erase system, this deeply hydrating, nutrient-rich formula with TruFirm Complex helps to visibly repair and condition the appearance of dry, aging, crepey skin on the neck, chest, arms and legs. It’s developed to help restore your skin’s youthful bounce, and it’s clinically shown to provide all-day moisture for satin-smooth skin. When paired with the Exfoliating Body Polish, it’s clinically shown to improve the look of crepey, sagging-looking skin.

What I think — This set is $39.95 online.  The Body Polish is gentle, but really scrubs thoroughly.  It leaves my skin very smooth.  The Body Repair Treatment is a creamy moisturizer that instantly hydrates and softens.  I notice that my skin on my neck is much smoother and look younger.

H2O+ Beauty SPF Moisturizers

Aquadefense Protective Matcha Moisturizer SPF 40 ($44 USD) — SPF 40 blocks 97.5% of UVB rays while broad spectrum coverage also protects against UVA rays which can accelerate skin aging.

Oasis Daily Defense Moisturizer SPF 30 ($42 USD) — This moisture-packed SPF offers protection from the sun’s harmful rays while remaining lightweight to the touch. It’s infused with Sea Grass and Water Lily extracts because you should be rewarded for being so responsible.

The fast-absorbing formula boasts an infusion Pomelo and Snowflake Flower extracts and broad spectrum coverage to decrease the risk of early skin aging caused by the sun.

What I think:  These SPF moisturizers from H2O+ are awesome multitaskers!  They are your day cream and SPF in one.  Right now, the one I am using most is the Aquadefense since it has a SPF of 40.  It’s perfect for the summer.  I also love the Infinity+ for aging skin, it smooths and softens skin.  They all are amazing and theirs one for all skin types!

What I think:  Both of these products can help to achieve glowing summer skin.  The Glycolic Treatment Pads make my skin look clearer, and more pores much cleaner.  The Day Creme protects while hydrating and looking smooth.

Take Care Of Your Hair This Summer!

In the summer, I always want easy care for my hair.  And I think that starts with great products, such as easy shampoo, conditioner and styling products.

I was sent the below products for my honest review.  They are all products that help clean and keep hair looking great, without a lot of fuss:

Wen Summer Honey Peach Cleansing Conditioner ($40 for 16 oz) – a rich fragrance with warm and indulgent honey that tempers fresh juicy peach. With one product, you replace your shampoo, conditioner, deep conditioner, leave-in, and detangler. All three formulas are designed to work with all hair types and textures.

Wen Mandarin Italian Fig Nourishing Mousse ($42 USD) – This formula has a bright citrus scent tempered with fig, earthy aromas, the scent of florals, woods, and amber. Nourishing Mousse should be applied to soaking wet hair, before or after WEN Styling Creme. Distribute evenly throughout your hair and style as desired.

What I think:  First of all, Wen products always smell amazing — really natural and fresh. I love that the cleansing conditioner can be used for the whole body.  It leaves hair and body soft and hydrated.  It’s easy use for the summer as it is cleansing and conditioning in one step.  The Mousse leaves hair soft and swingy, plus it helps keep the style in place.

My Beauty Favorites — Week of June 26 – July 2, 2017

I can’t believe it’s already July!  This year is flying by so fast.

My favorites this week are products for the face and body that smell great and hydrate so well.  They include rosewater toner and exfoliators, a Vitamin C peel, gentle skin bath products and sweet smelling body products.

 

Gülsha – Ultimate Rosewater ($20 USD) — gülsha Ultimate Rosewater, produced drop by drop by the gentle steam distillation of fresh rose petals in pure copper alembics, is more than a rosewater. Usually, rosewater is a by-product of rose essential oil distillation. By keeping the valuable rose essential oil, gülsha has created the Ultimate Rosewater which contains all the vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids of the precious rosa damascena flower.

Gülsha – Purifying Rose Dust ($20 USD) — enhances the cleansing ritual with this gentle-yet-powerful cleanser and manual scrub you can use daily without irritation. The sulfate-free formula dissolves dirt and everyday impurities. Unique dried rose buds powder based formula activates upon contact with water, releasing mild cleansing surfactants that micro-exfoliate dead cells, instantly leaving skin smoother and brighter. Thanks to pure rosa damascena essential oil with its anti-ageing properties and the toxin absorption capacity of pink clay, the skin is visibly soft, fresh and luminous.

What I think: I use these together by adding the rosewater to the rose dust.  It creates a paste.  I then add a bit of water to get a foam and massage into my face.  Once I rinse it off, my face feels really soft.  I also use the rosewater as a toner afterwards.  It has a very strong scent, but the rose dust is softly scent, which I like.

The Body Shop Vitamin C Glow Revealing Liquid Peel

The Body Shop Vitamin C Glow Revealing Liquid Peel ($23 USD) –The Vitamin C Glow Revealing Liquid Peel specifically targets pollutants that are left sitting on the skin at the end of the day. This transforming gel-to-peel texture peels away dull, tired city skin for a happy healthy glow. The PH of the gel helps to release surface cells.  Contains our most potent Camu Camu Berry. 60 times more Vitamin C concentration than an orange!

What I think:  This peel is really fun to use.  Apply 1-2 pumps to the face then massage it in for about 20 seconds.  The dead skin comes off with the clumps of peel and leaves my skin so soft afterwards.  It smells really bright and cleans.

Purchase at http://www.thebodyshop.com/en-us

The Body Shop Almond Milk & Honey Bath Milk ($15, on sale for $9) — Formulated to respect your skin’s natural moisture barrier with a delicate yet decadent blend of natural oils, this creamy bath milk gently cleanses, soothes and reduces the sensation of tight, itchy dry skin.

What I think:  I love the scent of these bath products!  The Bath Milk bubbles nicely and soothes irritated skin.  The shower cream is also really gentle on the skin.  I love that the ingredients are natural, too.

Available at http://www.thebodyshop.com/en-us

Zoella Beauty Bath Latte ($8.95 USD) — Indulge in Zoella’s Bath Latte, a deliciously scented, creamy bath and shower milk. Enriched with nourishing sweet almond, cacao and honey, it will leave your skin feeling beautifully soft, silky and smelling totally irresistible.

Zoella Beauty Life is Sweet Cosmetic Bag ($9.95 USD) — Zoella’s Life is Sweet cute little coin purse to keep all your beauty essentials safe on the go.

What I think: The packaging of these products are really fun.   The bath latte smells yummy and makes skin so soft.  The bath fizzer bar is ingenious, but it doesn’t really fizz much.  You have to hold it under running water, and it fizzes a little.  And the cosmetic bag is cute, perfect for small makeup items.

Summer Beauty Must Haves

Hi All!  I just got back from a big road trip with my family a few days ago and have lots of products to review!  I thought I’d start with fun summer beauty picks since I was gone for the first day of summer.

What I think: This is such a hydrating body butter that also gives a beautiful tan.  I apply it to exfoliated skin and let it develop for at least 4 hours.  The color is very natural and not orange at all.  I would love to try their tanning oils next!

What I think:  I took this on my vacation.  I popped it in my makeup bag, and whenever I needed to remove facial hair, it was easy and painless.  Just use circular motions over the area to be treated and hair is removed.  It takes a little bit to get all of it, but hair is removed (as well as dead skin).  It is easy to clean, just pop the top of the device and clean with included brush.  This is a neat little device.
