Exciting New Makeup For Summer!

I am beside myself over these new Stila eye shadows! These are the absolute coolest thing for summer. They are called Magnificent Metals Glitter and Glow Liquid Eye Shadow and you need them right now.

Stila Magnificent Metals

Here is the lowdown: liquid eye shadow that dries to a firm finish that stays on all day. High octane colors underneath with supersonic glitter built in and a high gloss finish. They are off the chain!!

I was desperate to have them for my Summer 2017 Beauty shoots for Luca Magazine and was actually quite scared I wouldn’t be able to get my hands on them on time.  You can’t but these in stores, they are only available online at Stila.com and they are selling out like crazy. Luckily they arrived last week in time for this week’s shoots.

Stila Magnificent metals Liquid Eye Shadow

For my beauty shoots I ordered three shades, Molten Midnight which has a deep, dark midnight base and gold glitter finish, Bronzed Bell, which has a gorgeous bronze base and a silver and gold sparkle, and Gold Goddess, which has an antique gold offset with a silver sparkle.

Get Stila’s new Magnificent Metals Glitter & Glow Liquid Eye Shadow at StilaCosmetics.com! This brilliantly long-wearing sparkle eye shadow combines the perfect mix of pearl and glitter.

 

Stila Aqua Glow Perfecting Bronzer

Also from Stila I just ordered another Aqua Glow Perfecting Bronzer. I never can find this in stores either, so always get it online at Stila.com. This is honestly just my favorite bronzer ever. It is a gel that you can manipulate to give you as sheer of a veil or as intense of a bronze as you want. You can mix it into your foundation to juice it up a little, wear it beneath or over your foundation, or if you are like me just wear a little of it alone across cheekbones and collarbones and wherever else I want to add a little luxe love. As a pro makeup artist I really intensely dislike most of the bronzers out there – generally I don’t like the color calibration and the sparkles that they put in the products. Bronzer should add a sunny glow to the skin, not a sparkle.

Fab Fit Fun Spring 2017

I’m obsessed with my subscription boxes.

I only get two of them, and they come at the beginning of each season, so I get to enjoy the wait, the anticipation, the wondering whats coming.

Fab Fit Fun Spring 2017

Last week my Fab Fit Fun box arrived and it was fabulous!

The basic Fab Fit Fun box cost $50. At the moment I’m just getting the basic, and this was only my second box. Prior to shipping Fab Fit Fun sends you some emails with upgrades that you can add in and products that you can buy at a discount.

All the beauty products are full sized, (which is incredibly fab!) and you receive an assortment of beauty, fashion, health, and lifestyle products. For spring 2017 I received full sized Dr Brandt Microdermabrasion Exfoliant, Briogeo Rosarco Milk leave in conditioner, 2 new nail colors from Deborah Lippman, a bottle of Nature’s Bounty Hair, Skin & Nails Gummies, a box of four Karuna sheet masks, a Realher I Am Fabulous lip kit (with lip liner, liquid lipstick and gloss), a Milly zipper pouch that is perfect for the beach, Luv AJ earrings, and a Gypsy Roundie which has multiple uses – lie on it at the beach, wrap yourself in it, use it as a chic picnic blanket, drape it over your patio table – this list goes on!

RealHer Fab Fit Fun

check out this lip kit from RealHer

All this for $50?? Its fantastic!

Here is my theory on subscription boxes. As women we work so hard, get pulled in so many directions, multitask every single day, constantly put ourselves last, and typically don’t reward ourselves. When this box arrives it feels like a gift, like a reward. It lands somewhere in the middle of making school lunches, commuting, working, taking care of our homes – juggling our lives, and it feels good! I don’t necessarily open mine the day it arrives, I prefer to open it when I have time to sit down and make the moment special.

You deserve some special too!

If you want to try out a Fab Fit Fun box I have a discount code for you.

You can save $10 on your first Fab Fit Fun box by using the code FLOWERS10 at the checkout on their website, here

Ouidad Product Launch And Giveaway!

Hey there curly girls this one’s for you!!

I am super excited to tell you about FOUR new products that curly hair company Ouidad has just released to make your spring and summer perfectly curl-iscious!

Ouidad Advanced Climate Control For Curly Hair

Win all four Ouidad Advanced Climate Control products!

If you were following me last year you will have seen that I used the travel sized Ouidad products to make my life easier (and retain the glam!) while I was on my Glam Italia Tours. We were diving off of chartered boats of the coasts of both Capri and Puglia, and swimming in the Mediterranean and the Adriatic, which was absolutely amazing, but could have been fraught with hair anxiety for me if not for Ouidad! My once wavy hair has become super curly, but not pretty curly. I always say that when left to it’s own devices my hair looks like a really bad home perm gone drastically wrong. If you are a curly girl then you already know how something as simple as swimming, or being in humidity can be a glamour buzzkill. Having Ouidad with me meant that I could swim as much as I wanted. The combination of the Advanced Climate Control Heat And Humidity Gel to let my hair air dry into perfect curls, casually done without a mirror while sailing around the coast of Capri, and their Moisture Lock Leave In Conditioner, which was my favorite beauty product of the summer and possibly of the year, meant that I could swim and still have pretty hair.

Ouidad Advanced Climate Control Set

On April 3rd Ouidad launched four Advanced Climate Control products designed to keep the frizz at bay while you rock your curly girl glam.

Ouidad Advanced Climate Control Defrizzing Shampoo

Curl and frizz control start in the shower, so the first product is the new Advanced Climate Control Defrizzing Shampoo. This sulphate free cleanser maintains your curl’s protective barrier, has silk proteins to seal the cuticle, holding in moisture and preventing frizz, and also contains UV Protectants.

Ouidad Advanced Climate Control Defrizzing Conditioner

Curls crave moisture, so without very specific help that keeps moisture balanced and doesn’t weight the hair down, your hair will try to grab it from the atmosphere, which raises the cuticle and creates the dreaded frizz. Advanced Climate Control Defrizzing Conditioner prevents frizz and unwanted (and uncontrolled) volume, balances moisture to keep your curl defined and bouncy, while silk proteins and nano technology smooths the cuticle so you maintain glorious shine.

Ouidad Advanced Climate Control Detangling Heat Spray

Spritz, prime, protect, The Advanced Climate Control Detangling Heat Spray needs to be a permanent fixture in your beach bag! Not only does it prevent frizz and flyaways and unwanted volume, not only does it help detangle and make curls manageable,  not only does it have UV filters to protect your hair from environmental aggressors, but it also contains natural oils to nourish and moisturize your curls. Spritz it into your hair before you hit the water and it protects your hair while you’re swimming, use it as a primer before you start styling – curly girl meet your new best friend! And it smells amazing!

Ouidad Advanced Climate Control Heat and Humidity Gel

 

Advanced Climate Control Heat And Humidity Gel is the ultimate curl styler. Trust me curly girl, this product will give you life! When you have curls you know that gels can make your hair look crunchy, kill any chance of movement in the hair, kill any natural bounce. But without a styling aid your curl, whether it be wavy or kinky, can take on a life of it’s own and give you too much volume with zero discipline. The Advanced Climate Control Heat and Humidity Gel changes everything.

You don’t use this product like a regular gel, instead you divide your hair into four sections, run the gel through one section at a time, rake through it with your fingers, and then holding pieces of the section at the ends shake the curl up into the hair. Ouidad’s Rake and Shake technique is brilliant! It’s also super easy to do, easy enough that you can whip out fabulous curls without a mirror, on the deck of a boat, with no drama and no one knowing what you’re up to! Ouidad’s award winning Heat and Humidity Gel was upgraded with the Anti Frizz Nano Technology, so it’s even better than before!

Ouidad make all manner of hair products for hair that is anywhere from wavy to curly to full blown kinky. These new products are designed for all curl types, so wherever you are on the curly spectrum, this set is for you! They are not just for beach days and vacations, this is a product range for every day in the life of a curly girl.
