Sunscreen for your picnic

May 31, 2010 · Leave a Comment

Today isn’t the day to forget sunscreen, especially if you are outside enjoying yourself. Here’s two of our favorites that you may have around the house or can pick up if you are making a last minute run to the store:

Headed into the pool? Try La Roche-Posay Anthelios 60 Melt-In Sunscreen Milk. While you always need to reapply frequently if you are in the water, this stuff stays on well and isn’t too greasy, even when it is slathered on. And don’t let the term “milk” fool you – this is heavy duty stuff. Find it at CVS – it is usually near the pharmacy counter.
If you will be outside but would like a matte finish, try La Roche-Posay Anthelios 60 Ultra Light Sunscreen Fluid. This has been my daily sunscreen of choice lately – even under makeup it gives a great matte finish. Also available at CVS.

I got turned on to the La Roche-Posay Anthelios line by my dermatologist and am really glad I tried the line. It’s great to have an effective brand available at CVS – makes it pretty easy to pick it up when I’m running low!

The MacGyver Brush: ELF Angled Foundation Brush

May 25, 2010 · Leave a Comment

Last weekend I was out of state and forgot all my makeup brushes, except my ELF Angled Foundation Brush from my recent huge ELF haul. And I was stunned to see just how versatile the perfectly angled, synthetic haired Taklon brush is.

It did several things that impressed me:

Powder went on with ease and a more natural look – my big powder brush can distribute too much on a spot, but this brush let me just put on what I needed where I needed it.
It picked up just the right amount of powder each time, from several types of powder consistency (translucent, blush, eyeshadow, contour, highlighter, etc)
It behaves like a real artist’s brush. What I was especially wowed by is that I could get all angles of my face with ease, just with the one brush. It hugged my face just as well when I was putting on blush as when I was contouring the sides and tip of my nose, just with a slight, intutive turn of the wrist. If you are new to makeup or contouring, I would recommend this brush even just to get the hang of how you are supposed to apply it to different areas.
It can be used wet, so it’s great if you want to add more intensity to a color.
Blending is a breeze

I’m actually fairly pleased I forgot my other brushes so I could experiment with this MacGyver of a brush. And for a mere $3.00, you can keep one in your purse as well as at home!

New Product: Fusion Beauty IllumiFill Line Filling Luminizer with Amplifat

May 24, 2010 · Leave a Comment

I love the Fusion Beauty line – and Fusion Beauty IllumiFill Line Filling Luminizer with Amplifat sounds like a great new product. Dispensed by a roller (love that for getting application even), it serves as an illuminator and a plumper (via hyaluronic acid).

Directions say to apply it twice a day for 28 days (like Fusion Infatuation) for results. So it delivers a double punch – optical diffusers hide lines instantly, and the product encourages collagen production over time. Sounds great – especially if you are just starting to experience fine lines.

Find it at Sephora for $49.
