One – Forty, Flirty & Fabulous

Fall Makeup Guide Part 3 — Go For the Glow!

Eyes are extremely dramatic this fall, so my advice is to keep cheeks and lips soft and glowing. Some fun new products to try are:

Mally Beauty Ultimate Performance Inner Glow Blush ($36.00 USD) is a blush system that won’t fade or crease and looks believable and natural from the start. This unique two-phase system uses a rich cream to hold on and give even, beautiful color; and a subtle activating powder that mutes the intensity, keeps the look beautiful, and gives a soft lit-from-within glow. The distinctive dual-chamber compact allows for portability and convenience. It includes a dual-ended brush — one end applies the cream blush and one end the activating powder. Available in 4 shades to match your skin tone — Light, Medium, Rich and Tan.

What I think: This is a fantastic idea for blush! I have the light, which is a pinky-rose shade and a light powder. I apply the cream blush over primer and/or foundation. It appears a little dark at first, but I lay it on. Then I brush the powder over it and it tones down the shade, plus makes my pores look less noticeable. You can also sweep the powder all over to finish the face. So pretty and lasts all day! Available at www.qvc.com.

One Triple Play Shimmer Lipgloss Trios ($9.99 USD) let you pamper your lips the natural way. Each cute, portable palette features three delicious flavors of gorgeous gloss. Wear them alone or apply in layers for custom kisses. Not only are One’s glosses eco-friendly, their packaging is 100% safe for our planet. When you’ve used the last of your luscious lip treat, just recycle the tin to contribute to ONE beautiful world.

What I think: This large lip palette is perfect for the girl on the go. The colors are sheer enough for ladies of all ages. I am also impressed that the tin is recyclable. One products are available at Target.

Hard Candy World Balmination ($3.00 USD) is a mixture of a fabulous glossy, tinted, lip balm with an amazing sugar-lemon flavor and very cool packaging. 8 shades to protect, nourish and moisturize lips.

What I think: Not only is this balm very cool, it is so affordable at only $3.00 each! When applied, you get a soft flush of moisturizing color which is perfect for every day. It also tastes terrific — yum! Purchase at Walmart.

ONE Bath Fizzer

Bath bombs are a special treat for me. They are fragrant and relaxing after a long day. I was excited recently to try a green bath bomb. With ONE Bath Fizzer ($5.99 USD), green living goes beyond the ingredient list and extends to the packaging. ONE’s Bath Fizzer is an eco-friendly bath enhancer in a recyclable package. Infused with essential oils instead of harmful artificial chemicals, the Bath Fizzer offers a calming and fragrant spa experience in your own bath.

Available Scents: I Need This! (an irresistible experience), Honey Please (for a sweet soak), Love is in the Bath (a gentle escape), Blue Earth (cool and fresh).

What I think: I tried Love is in the Bath, which turns the bath water a pretty pink color and smells so nice. It comes in two pieces — a top and bottom so that you can use one or both halves for your bath. I shared one with my 6-year-old daughter and I knew it was safe for her skin, since it is natural.
