TRESS ENVY: Jennifer Lopez in Cosmo Magazine October 2013

TE_JLO_cosmo_oct2013

Ever since I saw Jennifer Lopez images from the latest edition of Cosmo last week, I’ve been super obsessed with her shoulder length, long layer bob and long side swept bangs and dimensional golden highlights. I guess one of the reasons I’m thinking and looking at this picture everyday is because I recently cut a long layered bob and don’t know what to do with, but now, I think I have an idea…;)!

My Summer 2013 Clean Team

Clean_team_sum2013

Clean skin is must-have for everyone. However, in the summer, I find myself becoming more obsessed with making sure my face is clean and fresh.

This summer, I’m all about clean and fresh skin WHILE using the least amount of products and steps as possible. So, here are my simple steps and products in my skin care cleansing routine.

  • Target Eye Make-Up Remover – Although I hardly wear, if any, any eyeshadow in the summer, I’m a major fan of mascara and liquid liner all year. So, a good eye makeup remover is so neccessary. Target’s Up and Up brand has a really lovely and gentle remover that effortlessly wipes away all the melted goop your eyes have at the end of a hot work day.
  • Pond’s Cold Cream – What? You don’t have a cold cream? You should, because they are pretty amazing. The one I use from Pond’s loosens and removes the foundation, blush, concealer and all the brow powder that I put on in the morning, but has gathered in a pool of oil in my pores on my face at the end of the day. Also, it’s very moisturizing.
  • Neutrogena Make-Up Remover Wipes – Skincare staple. These are great. I keep a pack in my purse for those makeup-free days and need to wipe away sweat and dirt off my skin while refreshing my skin. Also, I use them to give my skin one final wipe to make sure that all the makeup has been removed.
  • Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser – Hands down, the best cleanser for all skin types. Ask any dermatologist. It’s gentle and doesn’t strip your skin. I use this day and night. Its the final cleanse I do. It’s the supervisor for the rest of the cleaning steps.
  • Aveeno Positive Radiant Daily Cleansing Pads – This is my morning cleaner. Wet my face, wipe face when the exfoliating side of the wipe, then the smooth side, and finally rinse my face. My face feels so clean, fresh, and smooth afterwards.
  • Simple Soothing Facial Toner – Toner is probably one of the most important, but overlooked step in skincare routines. I use to use products that contained some form of acne treatment before I realized that it was horribly stripping and drying out my skin. Therefore, I set out to find a gentle toner and then entered Simple’s soothing toner. It calms, softens, and soothes the skin. Perfection.

After cleansing my face, I apply a lightweight moisturizer for the day and pure shea or cocoa butter at night. Also, when needed, a spot treatment. This routine/regimen has been working wonderfully and quickly gets me to the nearest cool and air-conditioned spot.

Lip Love…M.A.C Lady Danger

MAC_lady_danger

This is just a brief but worthy ode to the newest love of my lip life, M.A.C’s Lady Danger.

We accidentally met when I went to my local MAC counter and saw this vibrant matte orangey red shade that was accidentally sent to that counter. It provides a nice pop of color during those hot summer days and nights.

M.A.Cs Lady Danger is one of their classic shades and I feel should be in all lipstick collections. Love it!

Fake Bake Gams

ULT_onedaytangel

I’ve mentioned on numerous occasions to you that I’m not a short dress or shorts person. I wear them, but usually around the house or to run a quick errand that doesn’t involve me getting out the car. Ehh…I digress, because all of that has changed in the past few week.

Since Easter Sunday, I’ve been spotted in shorts and above my fat almost non-existent knees on more than 4 occasions. That’s big for me! However, it didn’t take me long to realize that my legs lacked some…uh…..color. Basically, my legs were a pasty pale in comparison to my arms and face. A fashion AND beauty no-no!

So, I decided that I needed to nip this situation in the bud, but I didn’t want to get anything to permanent. Just a quick little fix that I could get rid of with just a simple wash in the shower. Enter Ulta’s One Day Tinted Body Gel.

When I say that this was a quick fix to a quick problem, I mean it. The gel is very light weight and gives the opportunity to build the coverage and shade you like. Depending on your complexion, it’s available in Light Medium or Deep Medium.  PLUS…no awful scent. Trust, if you are looking for a quick and very effective fake tinted gel to tie you over until you can get enough time to lay in the sun (don’t forget your SPF) then, you might want to stop by Ulta to pick this up.
