Summer Beauty

June 8, 2018 by Cynthia

With summer quickly approaching, now is the time to purchase your new summer beauty products. Less is more is my summer beauty philosophy. I prefer a more natural look and I don’t like wearing heavier products in hot, humid weather. My key everyday summer beauty items are a lightweight sunscreen or tinted moisturizer with SPF, mascara, bronzer and a lip gloss with SPF.

Sunscreen replacement every season is important as they become less effective and expire. If you use Waterproof mascara mainly in the summer, don’t start using an opened one as bacteria can form, get a new one for the season. Be sure to use a moisturizer with SPF. And, keep in mind, moisturizers should be replaced every 6-12 months. For everyday, choose a lip product with SPF.

Here are some of my favorite summer beauty products:

Trish McEvoy Beauty Booster SPF 15 Lip Gloss

NARS Bronzing Powder

By Terry Terrybly Waterproof Mascara

Supergoop Setting Mist with Rosemary

Supergoop Mineral Sunscreen SPF 40

Deborah Lippmann rich Girl hand cream SPF 25

I leave this product in my car and apply when driving. It soaks in immediately so it is not slippery.

Berry Lips – Fall Trend

September 23, 2015 by Cynthia

Berry Lips are trending for Fall and they make lips look luscious!! Working beautifully with the deep oxbloods and burgundy colors of the season, as well as, olive tones, camels, winter white, black, metallics, grey and navy! And, berry tones compliment all eye colors! For a dramatic look try a gold shadow with deep green eye liner with a berry lip or for a more natural but chic look try a very neutral eye with long dark lashes and a deep berry lip or an elegant look using navy shadow and black eye liner with berry lips – all gorgeous!! Spend some time trying on different colors and types to find the perfect berry lip shade for you. Go for it – add berry lips to your Fall wardrobe!

These are a few of my personal favorites. The first three lipsticks in photos that follow are in my collection. Click on the description above photo for links to all.

A few of my favorite beauty things!

May 7, 2015 by Cynthia

I have always enjoyed trying out different beauty products, comparing brands and playing with different looks. There are so many products it can be overwhelming! I do have a few favorites that I am sharing here. They perform well — lasting, great texture, multiple and flattering color options and they fulfill their product promise.

If you have good skin (good tone and texture) a tinted moisturizer is a good choice for you. I’ve found the NARS tinted moisturizer has better coverage than many other brands. In the evening I will use the Laura Mercier Foundation Primer – Radiance underneath the tinted moisturizer or under a full-coverage foundation. It provides a wonderfully natural radiant glow! NARS Matte Lip Pencils offer some of the best reds on the market and they stay on and on!! Laura Mercier’s Paint Wash Liquid Lip Color is a newer product that has a smooth feel especially if you prefer a lip gloss and wand application. Dior Lipsticks are decadent – smooth and creamy and come in a sea of color choices.
