Are you prepared for 14 Days of Ravishing Red? Maradjon hangolva, amikor megnézzük a rettenetes vöröset? rúzsok, ajakbélések, valamint a glosszák mindennapi módszerünkben? Valentin.

Nincs semmi félénk vagy coy a tüzes, narancssárga piros, különösen az egyik, mint az átlátszatlan, valamint Matte, mint Tom Ford Cristiano. Azt hiszem, van egy kicsit egy szüreti hangulata, igen? like Betty Draper would’ve gone mad difficult on this lippie back in the day.

I’ve noticed that orangey red lipsticks, especially matte ones like Cristiano, look additional vibrant when you wear them with a navy blue or denim top. Nem mindig koordinálom a sminkemet, valamint a ruhámat, de ha egy erős, narancssárga, piros, akkor megragadok egy kék ruhát vagy inget, amikor reggel felöltözöm.

HIRDETÉS

I believe it’s that whole color theory thing… Blue as well as orange are on opposite sides of the color wheel, so they’re thought about complementary colors. Talán ezért egy meleg narancssárga piros, valamint egy nagy kék, csak teljesen működik.

HIRDETÉS

Hasonlóképpen olyan meleg narancssárga piros ajkak párosítása, mint ezek a bronz szemhéjfesték és / vagy szemceruza, amelyet a felső képen használok. Azt hiszem, a kettő valóban jól megy együtt, mint a színek egy naplementében.

I think one of the cooler things about getting older, among the less cool things like randomly waking up two hours before dawn and having achy knees before a storm, is how we keep getting to know ourselves better, and how we’re always discovering new sides to our personality.

I mean, deep down inside, I know who I am, and that core Karen stays pretty much the same. But, over time I find new things about myself that I never knew existed, like, it wasn’t until I met Tabs in my 30s that I realized I was a full-on crazy cat lady!

The idea of embracing the different sides of your personality, numerous of them as yet undiscovered, is at the center of the new #AlmayTrueYou campaign. It’s all about expressing your individuality through makeup that enhances your uniqueness, but doesn’t cover the true you.

I’m sure you’re familiar with ALMAY, and you’ve seen them at Walgreens. The brand is well-known for their hypoallergenic formulas and their much more natural look, so even if you’re wearing makeup, you still look like you, and not like a completely different person.

Heads up, smart shoppers! As we speak, all ALMAY products are purchase 2, get 1 totally free at Walgreens through March 24, 2018.

It’s a look I’ve been into lately. It’s still me, but, like, zhuzhed up with extra flair. ???

ALMAY just launched a nifty new line of eyeshadow quads called the Almay shadow Squad™. They’re only about $6.99 each, and each one comes with a matte, a glitter, a metallic and a satin finish square in the same shade. There are 15 shades in the line, ranging from everyday neutrals to trendy brights. So, there’s a lot to choose from.

I like them, especially because they are Opthamologist tested, don’t irritate my sensitive eyes or make them itch or tear up. I also like having all four soft, easy-to-blend finishes in one place. They’re surprisingly flexible. It’s easy to pick one up and do an entire look from start to finish, but I also like grabbing a few and customized blending to whip up distinct finishes (which is so completely my style, and what I’m doing in the three #AlmayTrueYou looks below).

So, as has been well documented in the O.M.R. (Official makeup Record), I’m a charm addict, a mother and a friend to the felines, but you may not know that I’m also…

1. A boss baker

At least I am in my head. and I’m getting better all the time. I hope to be a very boss baker someday.

I love to bake, and I obsessively save recipes and pictures of cakes and cupcakes. I’m working toward the dream of baking a three-tiered wedding cake from scratch and piping that frosting to perfection. That day will come eventually, mark my words!

My boss baker look is inspired by dark chocolate cupcakes with hot pink sprinkles.

Add one cup ALMAY and blend….

For these chocolaty eyelids, I used two different shadow Squads — a cool brown 110 cause a stir and a neutral brown 230 own It.

I mixed the matte shades with the satins, then applied them on my lids with a wet brush.

QUICK TIP: After you apply powder eyeshadow with a wet brush, wait till the shadow is completely dry before you blend, because dry powder eyeshadow is always simpler to blend than wet powder eyeshadow.

2. A karaoke queen

I’m a karaoke queen in my head. Szeretek énekelni. any time, any place, I’m down to hop on the microphone and belt out I’ve had the time of My Life — thanks bill Medley and Jennifer Warner for that catchy tune!

I don’t go out to karaoke nearly enough these days (because, hi, toddler life), but when I do go, I like to glam it up. Here’s a taupe smoky look I’d completely wear:

Anything and everything can be a microphone.

I used a few different shadow Squads, again mixing the colors in each — a beige 140 here Goes nothing on my brow bone, a brown 120 never work out in my crease, and 180 ambition on my lids and lower lash lines.

QUICK TIP: When doing smoky eyes, do you eyeshadow before your foundation, powder, etc., because then you can clean up any fallout using eye makeup remover, without messing up your face makeup. To clean my under-eye area in this look, I used ALMAY gentle Eye makeup remover Pads (about $8.49).

3. A gardening girl

This was something I learned about myself in college in my 20s. I found out I had a green thumb after taking a botany class and doing an experiment involving pollinating walnut trees (side note: that’s where I learned how to use farm equipment).

I still struggle with orchids, though.

Nowadays, you can typically find me tending to the large collection of potted plants on my deck on spring and summer weekends.

The colors in my garden inspired this teal and gold look. I’m wearing a vibrant teal 160 thrill Seeker and a warm gold 150 Pure Gold, Baby.

QUICK TIP: If you want to wear bright eyeshadow, but you don’t have a clue what to do or how to do it, start with something easier, like using the shadow as a liner applied on your upper lash line using an angledkefe.

Mindig megtalálja nekem egy kalapot, amikor kertészkedés vagyok.

Vedd át a stílust!

Hello, Tula! From the left: Tula Skincare Multi-Spectrum Eye renewal Serum ($68), Pro-Glycolic 10% pH Resurfacing Gel ($34) and Hydrating Day & night cream ($52)
If I’m going to name the bald spot in my brow Raul, I must also christen any bacteria that I’m purposefully putting on my face. It’s the ideal thing to do.

So, whenever I use any products from Tula Skincare, I’m going to say hi to Brandon and Brenda — also known as Bifida Ferment Lysate and Lactococcus Ferment Lysate.

HIRDETÉS

“What’s poppin’, Brenda? Hey, hey, Brandon!”

Because Tula products consist of probiotics.

What’s Tula Skincare all about?

They’re an NYC-based skin care line, and I think they’ve been around for a couple years now. Their name, Tula, indicates “balance” in Sanskrit, and all of the products, which range in price from $20-100, consist of probiotics.

Yup, microorganisms. Bacteria. They combine them with AHAs, antioxidants, retinols and superfoods to help naturally balance your skin.

The Hydrating Day & night Cream
The line includes a cleanser, toner and a lot of moisturizers and anti-aging products, none of which consist of parabens. some of the products, like the Pro-Glycolic Resurfing Gel (which is a gem, but a lot more on that in a few), and all of which consist of probiotics.

According to the website, the line doesn’t test on animals, but they don’t make any cruelty-free claims.

Bacteria in skin care

So what’s the deal? Why are people purposefully putting bugs in skin care? You may have heard about it, because it’s pretty trendy ideal now.

To clarify, these are the “good” bacteria. The idea is similar to, like, eating Greek yogurt or drinking kefir, both which have “good” bacteria — living organisms to help digest food, minimize inflammation and regulate tummy troubles.

Probiotics in skin care products are meant to deceive the skin into focusing on good bacteria and not the harmful ones that worsen inflammation, like acne and rosacea, but there isn’t a ton of scientific research out there to supports its effectiveness.

Some signs are optimistic.

The applicator for the eye serum

I was shocked to find that the microorganisms that are used in a lot of of the probiotic-powered skin care products out there aren’t actually alive. So you aren’t putting living bacteria on your face…other than the actual bacteria that was very likely already alive on your brush.

Whatev, I’m still gonna call mine Brandon and Brenda.

Tula uses bifida ferment lysate (a probiotic found in some yogurts!), lactococcus ferment lysate and bacillius coagulans ferment, to name a few of the bacterial strains. The probiotics in each product are provided on the Tula website, which, by the way, is pretty thorough.

Pro-Glycolic is a keeper!

I’ve tried a few things in the line, and the Pro-Glycolic 10% pH Resurfacing Gel ($34) sticks out to me. It’s an alcohol-free toner that combines a probiotic with glycolic acid and lactic acid. Basically, it’s a gentle but effective exfoliator for all skin types that also moisturizes.

I have combination skin, which is mostly dry, and this doesn’t make my skin feel a lot more dry or tight. I’ve used it consistently for four weeks, and the pigmented patch on my ideal cheek is much less pigmented than it was, so I’m going to keep using it for sure.

Pro-Glycolic 10% pH Resurfacing Gel ingredients
The Hydrating Day & night cream ($52) is an anti-aging, hydrating cream that combines probiotics with retinol (vitamin A). It’s created for all skin types (even dry), but eh…my skin always feels hella thirsty when I use it, like I need to layer a richer moisturizer on top.

It’s probably better for normal and oily skin types.

I don’t feel like it’s made a obvious difference in the look of my fine lines or pigmentation, so I don’t plan to finish the jar.

Day & night cream ingredients
I’m not crazy about the Multi-Spectrum Eye Serum ($68) either. It consists of plant extracts, some caffeine and probiotics, and it’s meant to make fine lines and dark circles look better, but I haven’t really seen an improvement in those areas.

And the funky paddle-shaped applicator drives me bananas! It just pushes the product around. I don’t get it. The stuff just sits there.

I think the jury’s still out as far as what probiotics are really doing in skin care, but if you’re curious and want to try something from Tula, I recommend the Pro-Glycolic Gel.

What does the heavy lifting in it? Is it the AHA or the probiotics? ki tudja? but I DO know that I see less pigmentation than I did before I started using it.

Megértette, hogy ez nagy, ha van egy biztonsági mentés a kezében.
Hol van ősz az üzletben a Primer kérdéssel?

Nos, ez nem igazán kérdés … Úgy értem, tetszik, vagy nem tetszik? Mivel úgy tűnik, sokan az egyik két táborban van. Nem találkozom a középső földön. Sokan szeretnek dolgozni a primerekkel … vagy nem.

HIRDETÉS

Szeretem, hogy tipikusan naponta viseljek, még akkor is, ha nagyon kevés sminket csinálok, hogy sétáljak egy sétára. Nem vagyok jelentős rajongója a további lépésnek, de az erőfeszítéssel kapcsolatban álltam. Nem vesz egy csomó időt arra számomra, hogy dörzsölje az arcomat, valamint a homlokomat, valamint a kifizetésemet, valamint a kifizetés simább kinézetű bőr, sokkal jobb struktúra, valamint a hosszabb tartós smink.

Mi az a fel nem nyult sminkhős? Számomra ez egy gyakran alulértékelt smink morsel, egy hosszú távú gyűjtőtermék, amely a számos smink-rajongó radarképernyője alatt rohant, azonban rendszeresen sziklák a világomban. A hosszú távú, Unsung Heroes sorozat néhány kedvencem.

Nincs hiányzó kiváló üzlet a primerekkel, de ez a nagyvárosi bomlás az egyik legjobb. It’s $34 metropolitan Decay metropolitan defense skin tone primer broad Spectrum SPF 30, as well as it’s clear, even though it has sunscreen in it, which makes it something of a makeup unicorn…because, as you know, primers that include SPF commonly leave a visible white cast on the skin — particularly tan skin as well as darker skin tones — and, frankly, it can be hella annoying.

Néha igazán nyilvánvaló, de nem látok semmilyen fehér öntvényt, amikor ezt használom. Teljesen láthatatlan, és ez az egyik oka annak, hogy annyira tetszik.

This feels light, takes in as well as dries quickly, doesn’t provide me breakouts, as well as when I wear it under foundation, BB cream, powder, concealer — you name the deal with product — my skin just looks…better. Simább. Ó! – Amellett, hogy a pórusaim kevésbé aggódnak, lol! Kombinált bőröm van, a módszerrel (száraz az arcomon, valamint az olajos a T-zónában), valamint ez jól működik az arcom körül.

Aktív összetevők

Urban defense is a fantastic deal with primer with the added benefit of sun protection, although I wouldn’t depend on it as my sole source of SPF (you still gotta wear sunscreen!). Plusz, nincs látható árnyalat!

If you’re a fan of smoothing primers like Smashbox Photofinish as well as comprise For ever Smoothing Primer, I believe you’ll like it. Heck, akkor is tetszik, mivel nagyszerűen érzi magát, mint bármelyikét.
